Jacob Fatu: "After tonight, there ain't no more 'nos'"

Jacob Fatu will be one of the main characters in the episode of WWE SmackDown taking place tonight in Tulsa, Oklahoma. "The Samoan Werewolf" will deliver a promo about his current rivalry with Roman Reigns, whom he will face at WWE Backlash for the Heavyweight World Championship. A rivalry in which Fatu would have support.

Just a few minutes ago, the company released a video of the wrestler backstage talking on the phone with a mysterious interlocutor, who managed to calm the former United States champion. "Okay. Love you guys," Fatu said before hanging up.

After the call, Jacob went directly to the camera to make it clear that he is no longer the "little cousin." "He was right, and then went from 'I'm not ready' to 'no'. After tonight, there will be no more 'nos'", he said. "Hey, it's not even Backlash yet, Roman. I'll see you this Monday," he added before leaving.

Fatu positioned himself as Reigns' first challenger for the Heavyweight World Championship. A challenge that "The OTC" refused to accept, considering that his cousin was not ready to carry the weight of a top title. Jacob, however, persisted, making it clear that he needs everything Roman possesses for the sake of his family. His firm stance even led him to attack the champion, who ultimately granted his wish.

On the other hand, the introduction of an unknown character to the fans is not new in the storylines. Recently, WWE used this strategy to generate more interest in Randy Orton's heel turn before WrestleMania. However, the resolution of the mystery, with Pat McAfee being revealed as the man on the other end of the phone, did not sit well with fans. It remains to be seen if the company gets it right this time.
