Cody Rhodes Predicts Jacob Fatu vs Roman Reigns At WWE Clash In Italy

Cody Rhodes says that he is predicting that Jacob Fatu will defeat Roman Reigns at WWE Clash In Italy later this week.

At WWE Clash In Italy, the rivalry between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu will continue after their match at WWE Backlash ended with Reigns coming away with the victory due to an exposed turnbuckle. Now, the two will meet in a Tribal Combat match, the most high stakes bout that can happen amongst the Anoa’i family.

While speaking to ESPN’s Get Up in a new interview, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes was asked about the upcoming title bout between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu, noting that Fatu has the advantage due to Tribal Combat.

“Well, that’s a tribal combat match. which is another way of saying a good old-fashioned street fight, which I think behooves Jacob Fatu. I think Jacob Fatu is going to beat Roman Reigns, which will be huge.”
