Jacob Fatu officially acknowledged Roman Reigns and joined forces with The Bloodline on today’s episode of WWE Raw.

Raw today (June 1) took place in Turin, Italy off the back of yesterday’s Clash In Italy premium live event.

The main event of Clash In Italy saw Roman Reigns defeat Jacob Fatu to retain both the World Heavyweight Championship and the title of Tribal Chief.

That meant Fatu would have to acknowledge Reigns as his Tribal Chief on Raw today, which is what happened to open the show.

Reigns, flanked by The Usos, headed to the ring and was soon joined by Fatu who, after a tense moment with Jey Uso, bowed down and officially acknowledged Reigns.

He then proceeded to take part in the “we the ones” pose with Reigns and The Usos before they all left together up the ramp and posed again.

Commentary made it pretty clear if it wasn’t already from Fatu joining the pose that Reigns now has Fatu “on a leash,” so he looks to be officially considered a member of the group.

Will Jacob Fatu Stay Loyal To Roman Reigns

Now that Jacob Fatu is affiliated with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, questions have to be asked as to how long he will stay loyal to the Tribal Chief.

It has seemed inevitable for a long time now that Fatu would break out as a main event WWE star in his own right, but this move is kind of a step backwards from that direction.

The most likely outcome would seem to be that at some point in the future, Fatu will turn on Reigns to set up another future match between the two.
