This week’s episode of Monday Night Raw kicked off with The Tribal Chief rolling up to the arena in a SUV, and he was immediately greeted by Adam Pearce who told Roman Reigns he wants to fire Jacob Fatu. However, Roman said he wanted to handle some business and he was going to the ring to call Jacob out. Jacob beat him to the punch and got to the ring first.
As Jacob called out Roman, The Usos answered. Jimmy tried to talk sense into Jacob, but things quickly got physical as Jacob beat down both The Usos. Roman came out to make the save, and Jacob briefly got the upper hand before The Usos recovered and helped Roman attack Jacob.
Together Roman and The Usos hit Jacob with several big moves as The Usos connected with multiple superkicks, the 1-D and an Uso splash. As Jacob was tied up in the ropes Roman hit him with the Superman Punch, then The Usos held Jacob up for a spear.
As The Usos and Roman Reigns were leaving Adam Pearce met them at the top of the ramp. It seemed that Pearce was just about to fire Jacob, but Fatu got on the mic and challenged Roman to a Tribal Combat match. Adam Pearce tried to talk him out of it as Roman told Jacob he accepts.
The date and location for the match has not been confirmed as of this writing, but Michael Cole indicated that it will likely take place at the Clash in Italy premium live event.
