#2. Roman Reigns Makes Jacob Fatu Pass Out to the Guillotine
Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen a vulnerable side of Roman Reigns. Most recently, the contract signing ended with Reigns gasping for air as Jacob Fatu put him through a table. Heading into Backlash 2026, the OTC looks beatable, but one can never underestimate Reigns.

As many fans will recall, Reigns has a devastating submission maneuver, too. Thus, the World Heavyweight Champion might have the answer to Fatu’s Tongan Death Grip. The OTC has used the Guillotine to great success, and he isn’t afraid to use the move on his family. Reigns was notoriously locked in the move on Jimmy Uso at Hell in a Cell 2020.
While Fatu has the X factor with the Tongan Death Grip, Reigns has a dangerous weapon in his arsenal as well. Therefore, fans shouldn’t be surprised if the Samoan Werewolf passes out to the Guillotine at Backlash 2026.
