The Samoan Werewolf is back. Jacob Fatu returned on Monday’s WWE Raw in Greenville, South Carolina, and helped turn a closing brawl into a WarGames challenge, according to Fightful. Roman Reigns ended the show by challenging The 946 to WarGames at Survivor Series.
Key Takeaways
- Raw was set to close with Royce Keys and Roman Reigns in the ring, but it quickly turned into a fight between factions when The 946 arrived.
- Cameras cut to the parking lot, where The Usos and Solo Sikoa stood by a flaming truck before Fatu made his entrance.
- Fatu put Carmelo Hayes through the announce table with a top-rope splash.
- Reigns challenged The 946 to a five-on-five WarGames match at Survivor Series, per Pro Wrestling Dot Net. It’s a challenge for now, not a signed match.
The Full Story
Reigns tried to handle The 946 by himself, but the numbers caught up with him fast. The Bloodline came to the ring to even the odds, and Fatu’s splash through the announce table was the loudest moment of the night. Pro Wrestling Dot Net’s live review also reports Fatu’s return and Reigns’ five-on-five challenge.
WarGames is the two-ring, steel-cage match that Survivor Series is built around. WWE has not confirmed who will be on either team or made the match official yet.
The Social Conversation
Fans had been waiting for Fatu’s return, and WWE’s own account ran with “JACOB FATU IS BAACK!!!” within minutes. The big question now is whether Fatu and Reigns, who have clashed before, can stay on the same side all the way to WarGames.
