Tensions boiled over in a major way when Samoan powerhouse Jacob Fatu snapped in a fit of rage following his high-profile loss to Universal Champion Roman Reigns at last night’s Backlash pay-per-view event.
The match itself was a hard-hitting, physically demanding affair, with both men giving it their all in front of a raucous live audience. Fatu, a member of The Bloodline’s bitter rivals The House of Black, has been on a meteoric rise since joining WWE, with many insiders tipping him as a potential future world champion.
But instead of taking the loss in stride, Fatu’s anger and frustration got the better of him, leading to a heated confrontation with Reigns in the ring. The situation quickly escalated, with Fatu eventually attacking several members of The Bloodline, including Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso.
Violence Erupts After the Match
As the brawl continued to spill out into the backstage area, it seemed as though Fatu was hell-bent on taking his revenge against Reigns and his cohorts. However, his actions ultimately proved to be his downfall, as a swarm of WWE officials and security personnel were quickly on the scene to restore order.
The question on everyone’s mind now is: what does this mean for The House of Black? Will Fatu’s actions be enough to justify a full-blown feud between The Bloodline and his faction? We’ll have to wait and see.
Fatu’s Future in Question
One thing is certain, however: Fatu’s outburst has thrown his future in WWE into jeopardy. With his actions appearing to be a direct challenge to the authority of The Bloodline, it’s difficult to imagine how the company can justify allowing him to continue on as a key player.
Reigns, meanwhile, was seen walking out of the event with a look of satisfaction on his face, no doubt feeling that he had solidified his position as the top dog in the company. As for Fatu, only time will tell if he’ll be able to rebuild and find his place in the WWE universe.
For now, it seems as though The House of Black’s star may be in danger of falling significantly.
Backlash Fallout
The events of last night’s Backlash pay-per-view event are sure to have a lasting impact on the world of WWE. With Fatu’s actions throwing his future into jeopardy, it remains to be seen how the company will chose to proceed.
One thing’s for sure: the stage has been set for a potentially explosive feud between The Bloodline and The House of Black. Whether or not Fatu is able to recover from his outburst remains to be seen, but one thing’s certain: the WWE universe will be watching with bated breath to see what happens next.
