00:00What an announcement from The Ultimate Top Dog.
00:02Yes, indeed. Couldn't agree more, but you know what makes me feel like I got that dog in me, Michael
00:08Cole?
00:08What is that?
00:09A nice can of mug root beer.
00:14Has he been here all night?
00:18Wait a minute. You're supposed to guzzle it.
00:21Found it?
00:22All right, here we go.

00:48Sorry that bubbles do that to me.
00:50Ooh, my bladder at the main event is going to struggle.
00:54Coming up next in our main event, the OTC Roman Reigns takes on his cousin, Jacob Fatu.
01:00It is for the World Heavyweight Championship, and it is next.
01:11The first ever premium live event to be held in Italy.
01:16High stakes, high pressure.
01:20This is what we call must-see.
01:27This is what we call must-see.
01:35Well, it is the next time we come your way on the ESPN app for Clash in Italy.
01:40It is three weeks from tomorrow where history will be made in Turin.
01:47All right, now let's check in with our post-show panel.
01:50Jackie, Corey, and Big E.
01:52Yeah, Cole, thank you so much.
01:54Immediately following tonight's main event, we will have all the instant reaction and analysis you can handle from tonight's event.
02:02United States champion Rick Williams is going to stop by and talk to us about his match tonight.
02:07Maybe a little Yanni will come with him.
02:08We will see.
02:09Dan Housen also victorious tonight.
02:11He will join the show live on the panel, maybe Minnie Housen as well.
02:15I have no idea what to expect.
02:17Never know when it comes to the post-show.
02:18But, of course, we still have tonight's main event in front of us,
02:22and it is one that could change the landscape of WWE as we know it.
02:28There is history.
02:29There is family ties.
02:30Guys, it is Roman Reigns versus Jacob Batu.
02:42The tribal chief is back at the head of the table.
02:50I miss this.
02:53I'm not asking you to serve me.
02:56I'm just asking you to be my blood and stand with me.
03:01There can only be a couple reasons you would come out here.
03:05To acknowledge me.
03:07Nah, that ain't it.
03:09Before WWE, you didn't call me.
03:12Jimmy didn't call me.
03:14Jay didn't call me.
03:15So, when y'all was up here, running the bloodline,
03:18I was broke, grinding.
03:22I need that title.
03:26Maybe you can beat me, Jacob.
03:29But I'm not sure you're ready.
03:32Little cousin, you don't deserve it.
03:36You haven't earned it.
03:39Allowing you to compete against me, that's nepotism.
03:42I can't do this.
03:46I can't do this.
03:47The target does great.
03:50It's gonna take everything.
03:54Everything from you.
03:58He's dangerous, huh?
04:00Even if I gotta run through my own blood,
04:05I am desperate.
04:07so i have no other choice but to take you out take this title and everything that the tribal chief
04:18has the tongan death grip you don't do that to family you don't do that to your tribal chief
04:26and our family we're equals we're of the same blood but in this ring jacob you're beneath me
04:42anything for my family the tribal chief is fading
04:52even if i gotta go to you
04:58i need that title
05:12so
05:20so
05:41so
05:48ladies and gentlemen there is significance to the lay that is around the neck of jacob
05:53partu tonight
05:54it was put together it was made by the daughter of haku haku is the uncle of jacob partu and
06:03the man who
06:03invented the famed tongan death grip it is the rare move it's normally not used jacob partu has
06:12revitalized it but he committed a sin in the eyes of roman reigns and the family you never use the
06:18tongan death grip against the family member yeah i don't agree with that philosophy whatsoever yeah
06:24you can use all your moves against me except for that one that hurts the most and that i can't
06:30get
06:30out of well that's like jacob partu said to roman reigns hey you're not allowed to spear me you're not
06:36allowed to use a superman punch against me doesn't work for me not when the world heavyweight championship
06:42is on the line the tongan death grip is a devastating nerve hold you grab the adam's apple you cut
06:47the
06:48wind off to your opponent and cause them to pass out roman reigns has felt that move the past couple
06:54of
06:54weeks on monday night raw if jacob partu locks it in tonight we could have a new world champion
07:24keep it up
10:46Roman Reigns burst on the scene in WWE with the Shield back in 2012.
10:52It was the same year Jacob Fautu, fresh out of prison, would start his wrestling career.
11:00Toiling on indie promotions like West Coast Pro and House of Glory and Game Changer throughout many decades before finally
11:08arriving on the scene here a couple of years ago.
11:15And tonight marks the first match in Jacob Fautu's career for a world championship, a title that Roman Reigns once
11:26held for nearly four years.
11:36Let's head up to the great Alicia Taylor.
11:44The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
11:49And he's for the World Heavyweight Championship.
12:01Introducing the Challenger from Sacramento, California, weighing in for 291 pounds, the Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Fautu.
12:29And his opponent from Pensacola, Florida, weighing in for 265 pounds.
12:44He is the World Heavyweight Champion.
12:51The European, the OTC, Roman Reigns.
13:05Jacob Fautu has explained why he is bitter toward his cousin.
13:10For the years that Roman Reigns ruled with the bloodline of his side, Jacob Fautu was never invited to join
13:17the family.
13:19Roman Reigns never brought Jacob Fautu aboard.
13:22That is where the issues lie with Jacob.
13:25For Roman Reigns, he believes he made Jacob wait.
13:28They need to earn his opportunity to come aboard, to come to WWE.
13:32And now that he's here, Roman Reigns believes he's been slapped in his face by his cousin and his family
13:38member, Jacob Fautu.
13:39Roman Reigns! Roman Reigns! Roman Reigns! Roman Reigns!
13:51Roman Reigns faces a very dangerous, a very disturbed, and an unhinged competitor who, as he glances way down at
14:02the World Heavyweight Championship, has said he needs this title.
14:06He doesn't want it. He needs it for his family.
14:09This is a man who, when he got out of prison, was sleeping on a mattress on a floor with
14:13his wife and seven kids.
14:15Roman starved like Jacob Fautu had to starve for many years, in part because Roman Reigns never invited him into
14:24the fray here as part of the bloodline.
14:26That is a hunger that will live with you forever.
14:29It doesn't matter how many times Jacob Fautu feasts, he will always fight hungry, and he's fighting hungry tonight.
14:40And I gotta tell you right now, I seriously question that Roman Reigns didn't think that Jacob Fautu had earned
14:47that invite.
14:48For me, he just knew that Jacob Fautu was the only family member he could not control.
14:55Jacob Fautu makes his own rules.
14:57While Jacob Fautu forced Roman's hand with a Tongan death grip, forcing Roman Reigns to take this match up and
15:05off the shoulder tackle.
15:06Fautu right back up to his feet.
15:10Roman is questioned whether Jacob Fautu is up for the responsibility of being champion.
15:17That's just mind games from Roman Reigns if you ask me.
15:20Clearly, Jacob Fautu is more than capable of beating anybody in WWE, and Roman knows it.
15:28Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman!
15:38me a good night for roman that he lost his championship a month after winning it at
15:43wrestlemania to his family member jacob fattu so if you're roman how do you keep the title
15:48you avoid the tongan death grip at all costs we've seen the past couple of weeks just how
15:53devastating it is it is a visceral hold you don't just feel pain you feel your life slipping away
16:00and it has put the fear into roman reigns and i guess on the other hand jacob's got to lock
16:05in
16:05that death grip to have a chance to win the title and there's a shoulder tackle shocking reigns a bit
16:12jacob fattu all gas no brakes that's how he lives his life lead for him now by reigns
16:17roman with a clothesline and jacob's still on his feet
16:21yeah very hungry jacob fattu and when you're hungry wade you're dangerous hungry motivated and as
16:29terrifying and unhinged a force as we have seen in many years in this industry
16:35roman reigns dump rate to our announce table here and jacob fattu now gonna fly for the
16:40suicide dive and now the target death grip jacob fattu his eyes rolling back in his head
16:45driving roman now into the post with that death grip again applied oh what a shock this would be
16:52he's fading trying to suck the life out of roman reigns in the early part of this matchup and that
16:57was a little warning wade that was a warning shot across the bow for jacob fattu that's the master
17:02key for defeating roman reigns and it is the right hand of jacob fattu luckily for reigns that was
17:08applied outside the ring by the time he got back in the ring but immediately on the offense yeah
17:14got a little bit overzealous there and roman reigns able to take control
17:18you can see how devastating that move is roman knows it looks like he's going for that hand well
17:23you have to right you got to take it out of the equation damage the hand you can't apply the
17:27death
17:27rip and again roman reigns trying to punish fattu here will take away the biggest and right into
17:32the steel post it could be a shattered metacarpal right off the bat roman reigns looking on as jacob
17:40fattu grabs his hand roman continues the attack and again you had no way roman reigns is going to
17:47have some sort of way to counter the tongan death grip well you know full well roman is as smart
17:53as they
17:53come and he's shown it off in the early goings here
18:02it is loud in tampa 15,215 on hand sold out this is our main event for the world heavyweight
18:10title
18:10roman reigns a seven-time world champion jacob fattu in his first ever wwe world championship match
18:18let me ask you this cole if jacob fattu does somehow win the world heavyweight championship
18:24who is the real chief of the samoan dynasty well i mean jacob fattu has a claim right well you
18:31have
18:32to be how can you be the chief of the entire family if a family member is better than you
18:37in that ring
18:38yeah but what if i don't think it holds up what if jacob loses will he acknowledge the tribal chief
18:42i mean i can't imagine jacob fattu acknowledging anybody but that is what roman reigns is demanding
18:48you know jacob fattu falling in line though i don't see it
18:54something has to give though
18:57these two have been in the ring together before but in tag team action first time ever tonight one-on
19:03-one
19:03as roman reigns now looks to punish jacob fattu who just grabs the arm of roman
19:08and neutralizes the champion and fattu with a wicked short clothesline jacob fattu is just made
19:16of stone immediately checking it on that right hand thoughts whirring through the mind of the
19:23werewolf hey ask drew mcintyre what fattu is all about that unsanctioned match at wrestlemania
19:28we haven't seen drew since i've been texting drew about zero replies you know what who knows what
19:33state mcintyre is currently in mentally and physically after that matchup we're used to that
19:38and fattu now dragging roman back to his feet trying to take control of the world champion
19:44roman driven shoulder first to the post and jacob fattu suddenly has taken over
19:52and it's the modus operandum for jacob fattu since arriving
19:56in wwe do you think roman saw this coming
20:01i think he absolutely knew this was coming this is why he wanted jacob fattu nowhere near ww
20:08jacob's got to be careful now he's playing to the crowd he's got the champ in trouble he's got to
20:13get his focus back on roman just imagine how high do you and that there you go perfect point there
20:18jacob fattu roman reigns was waiting he was waiting for jacob to make that mistake and here comes the
20:24world champ all the physical gifts in the wall for fattu but there's no cheating experience at the top and
20:30when it comes to experience at the top
20:32pacing yourself points timing nobody beats roman reigns roman into the corner again
20:41and jacob fattu goes down off the big boot
20:47this is where confidence may start ebbing away from jacob fattu roman knows what he's doing here and here we
20:54go
20:54locked and loaded roman reigns superman punch into the cover for the retention and jacob kicks out at
21:02one and right back to his feet roman can't believe it
21:11roman looks like he's seen a ghost what a whack job
21:26and roman now blocks by fattu
21:29jacob fattu with another right hand
21:34roman sent across the ring telegraphed by jacob and that kick just fired him up even more
21:39just everything is just bouncing off the samoan werewolf off the running senton to roman reigns
21:45normal rules of physicality don't apply inside that ring when fattu is present
21:51he reminds me a lot of the late great umaga fattu now taking the fight to the world champion
21:58two three four five six seven eight
22:05and speaking of omaga
22:19what a frightening sight
22:23and now you know why so many people have caught in favor and jail
22:26superman punch again by roman collapses into the cover
22:29is it enough this time this time two and a half referee sean bennett right there
22:34make no mistake that was a burst of speed and energy from roman reigns but roman is hurting in a
22:39big way
22:40just when fattu pulled him ahead of steam
22:42catching him cold
22:44and praying for a victory was roman reigns
22:48but both men now in a heap
22:50it has been an amazing night an electric night today in tampa

27:37roman range got the knees up
27:39and roman may have done damage
27:40well fattu got distracted by people in the crowd
27:42yelling at him
27:43and that beat may have been enough for roman to get a knee up
27:47but how bad is that right knee of roman range
27:49and again it was the second time tonight fattu got caught
27:52taunting with the crowd and allowed roman to capitalize
27:55but again to your point roman's knees are hurt

30:17and a referee just got squashed in the corner
