Jacob Fatu Responds To Fans Assuming Roman Reigns Will Win At Backlash, ‘Man, That’s Ass’

Jacob Fatu fires back at the doubters.

Fatu is set to take part in the biggest match of his career at Backlash, as he’ll challenge Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship. Many fans have already dismissed the possibility of Fatu winning, saying that Roman Reigns won’t lose the title on his first defense.

In a new interview with the No Contest Wrestling Podcast, Jacob Fatu revealed that he’s not a fan of that notion.

“He just won if, this is the next PLE. So I can understand why people think, ‘Oh, he’s not going to lose, it’s just a match, he’s going to fall in line.’ No, that’s ass. Alright? That’s ass. So, y’all over here want to tap in? Y’all think y’all know the booking? What y’all think, oh, ‘Roman Reigns first title defense against Jacob, there’s no way Roman’s losing it’ Man, that’s ass. Because check this out, of course y’all going to be watching. Y’all gonna be tapped in. So everybody else complaining online about this and that, I bet you will definitely buy that ESPN app and. I bet you going to be sitting there watching and enjoying the show and not saying a word during the match.”

Fatu went on to remind fans that he still made it to WWE despite the odds being stacked against him.

“I can understand why people think I’m not going to win. First PLE, first title defense out of WrestleMania, there’s no way. Hey, check this out, there was no way Jacob was supposed to be here. There was no way Jacob was supposed to have a main event PLE, Roman Reigns, right out of WrestleMania. To keep it 100, like I said before, no man ain’t never ran into nobody like me.”
