Roman Reigns to Defend Title Against Jacob Fatu at Clash in Italy

A major championship match was set following a chaotic episode of WWE Monday Night Raw that featured a shocking return and a violent brawl. World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns will defend his title against Jacob Fatu in a Tribal Combat match at the upcoming Clash in Italy event on May 31.

The show opened with Fatu calling out Reigns, leading to a confrontation inside the ring. Fatu was first met by Reigns’ cousins, Jimmy and Jey Uso. After a verbal plea from Jimmy failed, Jey Uso attacked Fatu with a steel chair. Fatu fought back against both Usos until Reigns arrived, creating a three-on-one advantage for the champion’s faction. Reigns and The Usos eventually overwhelmed Fatu, delivering a series of signature moves including a Superman Punch and a spear from Reigns.

As general manager Adam Pearce approached the ring, apparently to fire Fatu for recent attacks on officials, a battered Fatu interrupted. He issued a direct challenge to Reigns for a Tribal Combat match, a no-rules stipulation where the loser must acknowledge the winner as Tribal Chief. Despite attempts by Pearce and The Usos to dissuade him, Reigns immediately accepted the challenge.
