Eric Andre, who co-stars with Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes in the upcoming Street Fighter movie and co-stars with John Cena in the Netflix film, Little Brother, likely didn’t expect his evening to end by taking two top rope splashes from the 285-pound Samoan Werewolf. But that’s exactly what happened when Andre accidentally pissed off the Bloodline’s newest member, and its leader couldn’t help but have a little fun at the man’s expense.
Jacob Fatu Attacks Eric Andre after Roman Reigns Calls the Play
Jacob Fatu has been having a rough go of things lately. Just over two weeks ago, he was forced to acknowledge Roman Reigns as tribal chief after he failed to dethrone the man and claim both the physical title belt and the moniker that comes with it. Fatu came close but ultimately was unable to finish the task. But Fatu is a man of his word and stuck to his promise to acknowledge Reigns, even though it’s been clear he wants none of it. Fatu has followed Reigns’ orders while making it known to the Usos that he won’t acknowledge or even listen to them.
On Friday, Fatu followed through on his mission to bring Solo Sikoa back to the family but was met with resistance. Sikoa said the Bloodline wasn’t home; it was a dog house. And Fatu was no longer a werewolf; he was nothing more than Reigns’ lap dog. Sikoa told Fatu if Reigns wanted him back, he’d have to come drag him there himself.
On Monday, Fatu was in the ring with the Bloodline, listening as Reigns hyped up the Usos. Jey Uso took the opportunity to point out Fatu hasn’t been listening to them and he needed to acknowledge them too. Once again Fatu refused and Reigns was okay with that as he said the Bloodline didn’t need a yes man. Reigns went on to remind Fatu that the Bloodline is forever. It goes back to their ancestors and will continue til one day Reigns’s kids are tagging with Fatu’s. Reigns called for a box and gifted Fatu his own Ula fala before formally welcoming his little cousin to the family business.
The Bloodline was making their exit when Eric Andre was shown ringside. He dapped up Reigns and Big Jim before tapping Fatu’s shoulder. Fatu turned around and Andre messed with the Ula fala, infuriating the already amped up Samoan Werewolf. Fatu snaps and drags Andre from the stands before tossing him to the ground and throwing him into the ring. Fatu looks poised to hit the splash but Reigns briefly calls him off. He surveys the scene and then smiles, giving Fatu the kill sign. Fatu hits the splash and then rolls out of the ring but Reigns calls the play and tells him to do it one more time.
The segment ends with Reigns looking into the camera essentially saying that was a warning shot to anyone in the locker room that wants to challenge the Bloodline. There is no doubt the Bloodline is stronger with Fatu in the ranks, especially the Fatu who attacked Andre tonight. He’s got unresolved issues with how things have shaken out and he seems poised to take those out on anyone and everyone.
