Jacob Fatu returns on WWE SmackDown, attacks Roman Reigns
Jacob Fatu made sure The Bloodline stood tall at the end of SmackDown.
Solo Sikoa came to the ring with Tama Tonga on Friday and said that if Roman Reigns wanted the ula fala necklace from Sikoa, he would have to get it from him. Reigns came out and laid out both men. As he put on the ula fala, however, Jacob Fatu entered the ring and attacked Reigns. Wearing a walking boot, Fatu laid out Roman with a running hip attack in the corner. Fatu, Sikoa, and Tonga then gave Reigns a triple powerbomb onto the announcer’s table. The show ended with the trio standing over the fallen Reigns inside the ring.
Reigns made his return to WWE at the end of SummerSlam two weeks ago, taking out Sikoa and allowing Cody Rhodes to retain the WWE title. On the following edition of SmackDown, Reigns came out at the end of the show and again took out Sikoa’s Bloodline, including Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
The end of SummerSlam saw Fatu tweaking his foot before Reigns made his return. He was spotted wearing a walking boot following the event. On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that Fatu was meant to sell his leg during Reigns’ return to keep them away from one another.
