01:15After his loss at Backlash, Jacob Fatu had a truck car and he played it.
01:23And that was invoking tribal combat because he knew the head of the table.
01:27The tribal chief Roman Reigns could not turn down the challenge in the NOI family tradition.
01:34Jacob Fatu gave himself an opportunity tonight to not only win the World Heavyweight title,
01:40but also to become the head of the table.
01:44The implications of tonight's tribal combat cannot be overstated.
01:48Yes, it is about the World Heavyweight Championship,
01:51but more so it's about the seat at the head of the table.
01:54It's about your position within the Anawaii family dynasty.
01:58Jacob Fatu said he will stop at nothing to take everything from Roman Reigns tonight.
02:04It's the law of the jungle, right?
02:06It's like a young gun going after the chief.
02:09That is what Jacob Fatu is trying to do here.
02:11Trying to turn things upside down in his family.
02:15It's the young lion trying to take charge of the entire pride.
02:19But tonight, there is no lion, only a werewolf on the loose tonight in Torino.
02:38Roman Reigns versus Jacob Fatu.
02:41Our main event tonight is brought to you by Riyadh Season.
02:43The ultimate entertainment festival with live shows, sports, food, fashion, and theme parks.
02:48October through March, perfect for all ages.
02:51Now, Jacob Fatu could be the sixth member of the Anawaii family to win a world championship.
02:58The other names, Yokozuna, The Rock, Roman Reigns, Nia Jax, and main event Jey Uso.
03:06Here we go.
03:25Absolutely feral look in the eyes of a Samoan werewolf.
03:32Nia Jax, won 16, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25...
03:50A구나 prajool.
03:51Stay with me too.
03:54The must of the Senra Jax, the most of you.
05:28In the moment, understanding this may be his final entrance as the tribal chief, as the head of the table,
05:36and as the world heavyweight champion.
06:44Tribal combat extremely rare in the annals of WWE.
06:51There have only been two prior tribal combat matches, both won by the man entering the ring, Roman Reigns.
07:21The winner is the world champion.
07:24The loser must acknowledge his tribal chief.
07:55We're in the man entering the ring, Roman Reigns.
08:33this matchup is personal this matchup will be emotional this matchup will be barbaric
08:42and it is for the world heavyweight championship our official tonight jason ayers his only job in
08:50this match is to call a pinfall or a tap out because there are no disqualifications there
08:57are no count outs we contest this match under tribal combat rules
09:11so
09:37Ulufala, which will go to the winner to signify them
09:40as the head of the Anawaii family,
09:45as the tribal chief.
09:53Bell rings.
09:55We are underway in this cousin-on-cousin clash
09:59for the world championship.
10:01What does Fatou need to do to win this matchup?
10:04I was paying special attention to the right hand of Jacob Fatou
10:08and the heavily taped fingers.
10:09We know Jacob Fatou has mastered the Tongan death grip.
10:14I expect to see him attempt it, if not utilize it throughout.
10:21The dreaded Tongan death grip, a family heirloom passed down
10:25over generations, almost impossible to master,
10:28but understood to be utilized only in extreme emergencies
10:33and never against your own family.
10:35The death grip made famous by Jacob's uncle, Haku,
10:39one of the most dangerous men ever in WWE,
10:42and he hopes to use this against Roman Reigns tonight.
10:45What does he need to do to keep the title?
10:48Roman Reigns always finds a way.
10:51There is a reason he is perpetually at the top of the WWE mountain.
10:55It's because Roman does not make mistakes.
11:12Big fight, heavyweight feel here tonight in Turin, Italy.
11:17Sold out over 12,000 at the Analfi Arena for Reigns and Fatou for the world title.
11:22In tribal combat, we are underway.
11:30Reigns realizes he's in there with a hothead.
11:32A fiery Jacob Fatou.
11:35And I would expect Roman to attempt to utilize that against Jacob Fatou.
11:40Use Fatou's temper against him.
11:43Roman should try to goad the werewolf into making the first mistake.
11:57And Roman with a side headlock looking to control Fatou early.
12:02Reigns who won the championship at WrestleMania over CM Punk,
12:06retained at Backlash over Fatou.
12:16Shoulder tackle knocks the champ to the mat.
12:25Dropped down by Roman.
12:27Leapfrogged by Reigns.
12:28And a close line by the champion.
12:36Do you think there's any intimidation at all
12:39when it comes to Roman battling his cousin tonight?
12:42No, I don't believe Roman's feeling anything resembling intimidation.
12:45But I do know that Roman is feeling the pressure.
12:48Beyond being world heavyweight champion,
12:50beyond driving WWE into the future,
12:53Roman understands that everything he has worked his entire life for
12:56could slip through his fingers tonight.
12:58Roman may have to go home after this trip
13:01and look at his wife, look at his children and say,
13:03I had it all.
13:04We had it all.
13:05And I lost it.
13:09Roman survived at Backlash.
13:11He understood that.
13:12As we mentioned before, when Jacob called Roman out,
13:15he had no choice but to accept this rematch.
13:19And now Fatou!
13:21That spinning elbow.
13:24The impact of Fatou.
13:27What he talks about.
13:28Oh, there it is!
13:29Oh, no, talking about grip!
13:30And Roman Reigns moving out of harm's way.
13:32Now, a lot of speculation in the last couple of days online
13:35that Jacob Fatou was injured coming into this matchup.
13:38Sure doesn't look like it here tonight.
13:40Off the suicide dive.
13:42Gonna fooled me.
13:43It looks like the Samoan werewolf is 100%
13:46and locked in on the task at hand.
13:51Now the fight outside the ring again.
13:53The official does not have to count here
13:55because there are no count outs under Tribal Combat rules.
13:59And now Roman Reigns sent into the barricade just to our way
14:02and out into the WWE fans.
14:06This is all perfectly legal within the confines of Tribal Combat.
14:14When this place was built for the 2006 Ice Hockey event at the Winter Olympics,
14:20I don't think they could envision this.
14:22These two men fighting out of the sellout crowd here at an LP arena.
14:34I don't know if Fatou's ever seen a horror movie.
14:36You never run up the stairs.
14:38Well, this could be a scary movie for Fatou tonight.
14:46And look at Roman, with the right hands, unloading on Fatou.
14:53And look at Roman, with the right hands, unloading on Fatou.
15:10And it's Roman.
15:11Oh, wait a minute.
15:12Jacob sends Roman right into the railing of the staircase.
15:17Wait for the forehead of Reigns.
15:21As this fight continues, out of the audience here.
15:26Jacob delivering the trademark Samoan headbutts
15:30and being struck with a cinder block each and every time.
15:37Roman trying to shake off the effects of those headbutts.
15:42I'm quite sure the chin knows where he's at.
15:45Roman better solve that problem quickly
15:48if you don't have much time to recover
15:50when you're dealing with Jacob Fatou.
15:52And now Roman with some concessions.
16:08Free food for everyone.
16:15And Roman continues to drag Fatou throughout this arena.
16:19Jacob able to counter yet again.
16:21And again, sends Roman into the steal.
16:26Reigns again suffering repeated impacts
16:29to his forehead and temples
16:31courtesy of the challenger Jacob Fatou.
16:34We promised that this matchup would be brutal
16:36and it has been thus far.
16:40Now making their way back here toward the ringside area.
16:43Roman sent back into the...
16:45over the barricade into the floor.
16:48Into the timekeeper's area now is Fatou.
16:53Make sure what he's looking for.
16:58Well, that was directed at the official Jason Ayers.
17:04This is what Jacob Fatou has to do.
17:06He has to remain relentless.
17:08Continue to pour the punishment onto the OTC.
17:20Headbutt once again right between the eyes
17:23of the tribal chief.
17:25Fatou barking at Roman Reigns.
17:38Look at those eyes.
17:39He called them feral earlier on.
17:43Great description.
17:43And look at this, Roman now.
17:45Roman came around the side and caught Fatou.
17:48Jacob took just a little too much time.
17:51Luxury never afforded
17:52when you're dealing with the tribal chief, Roman Reigns.
18:01OTC! OTC! OTC! OTC!
18:05OTC! OTC!
18:06OTC!
18:07OTC!
18:08OTC!
18:12Roman, as always, so methodical
18:15in each and every movement.
18:17And he's also going to give this Italian crowd
18:19what they were asking for.
18:21And Jacob from behind
18:22as Roman pulled the table out
18:24from under the ring.
18:28Unfortunately for Roman,
18:29now the table is at the disposal
18:31of Jacob Fatou.
18:35Like, this guy needs weapons.
18:37The man is a weapon.
18:40And Roman now back to his feet,
18:42dropping Jacob.
19:04Not entirely sure what Roman is attempting to cook up
19:07at the table.
19:08Yeah, but took a bit too much time
19:09and it allowed Fatou to recover.
19:10Now he bounces the head of the table's head
19:13off the steel steps
19:14and drives Roman's shoulder first
19:16into the steps on the other side.
19:19And now it's Reigns
19:21writhing in pain again.
19:23You saw the elbow.
19:23The elbow has a pad on it, Corey,
19:26I believe from a previous injury.
19:28And Jacob starts to focus on it now.
19:29I believe it was damaged several weeks back
19:31when Roman was driven through our announce table
19:33on Monday Night Raw.
19:34Either that
19:35or when he was driven through the barricade.
19:37Both times, courtesy of the Samoan werewolf.
19:42And now Fatou placing the steps back
19:45into the ring.
19:47Again, anything goes under tribal combat rules.
19:55Roman's sent back into the ring.
20:05I try to tell Roman.
20:07I try to tell.
20:09Now he's talking to himself.
20:11That's not a good sign.
20:12Roman, though, with the right hand,
20:14drives Jacob back outside the ring.
20:17The scariest thing about Jacob Fatou, Cole,
20:20is that Jacob believes he is in the right.
20:22Jacob sees no fault in his actions.
20:25Jacob is simply trying to take
20:26what he believes he is entitled to.
20:28That being the seat at the head of the table.
20:30Make a better life for his family
20:32and everyone around him.
20:33And now Roman Reigns with those steps.
20:35Oh, Jacob Fatou!
20:38And Fatou made me out!
20:43Roman just dropped those heavy steel steps
20:47on the skull of Fatou.
20:50Listen to the impact of the diamond plate
20:54connecting with the forehead of Jacob Fatou.
21:17Roman lining up Fatou with a drive-by.
21:20Driving Jacob headfirst off the post.
21:30Oh, Reigns is...
21:31Oh, Reigns is...
21:35Listen to this.
21:38And Reigns right now trying to teach Jacob a lesson.
21:41And those are back-to-back impacts
21:43that would crush a normal man's skull.
21:45First the ring stares, then the ring post.
21:51Roman verbally berating his cousin
21:53while inflicting more punishment.
21:56Well, what's the old adage?
21:57If you step up to the king,
21:59you better not miss.
22:01And Roman reigns now with a clothesline.
22:03And here comes the champ.
22:08Big clothesline knocks down Jacob.
22:37And down goes Fatou.
22:54He's locked and loaded, measuring his man with a superman punch, Jacob able to duck underneath
23:01and now Fatou, delivering the right hands to the champion.
23:09Jacob telegraphed it but that kick did nothing except fire him up.
23:15There's the senton to Reigns.
23:19This is what he means when he says all gas, no brakes, splash in the corner.
23:25Yes!
23:36Headbutt!
23:39Back it on up!
23:41We mentioned Umaga earlier tonight.
23:48There's something wrong with him.
23:52Say whatever you will at your own risk, Michael Cole.
23:54Jacob Fatou may be the new-
23:56Oh!
23:56Superman punch off the pump up!
23:59Cover!
24:00Fatou has to kick at two!
24:02About to say, Jacob may be the new World Heavyweight Champion on Monday Night Raw.
24:08But right then and there, Roman Reigns able to turn the tides, if only momentarily, with a superman punch from
24:16midair.
24:162, 2, 3, 2, 1.
24:203, 2, 1.
24:21Critical moment in this match.
24:23Roman sits up.
24:25Trying to feed off this capacity crowd here tonight.
24:42The spear was intercepted big of cotton right between the eyes talking death grip tongue and death grip
24:49But to try to lock it in this is what Roman
24:53Had to avoid tonight
24:55And now Roman could be fading
24:57Cutting the breath off to the lungs of Roman Reigns
25:02Shutting the air out
25:03The champion down to a knee
25:05Roman's fading
25:07Reigns is fading fast
25:12Roman though trying to fight back
25:14Get back to a vertical base
25:15Reigns back up
25:17Trying to create some sort of separation
25:19But still locked in with the death grip as Fatou
25:24And Roman now sent over the ropes to the floor
25:29Here comes Fatou
25:31And he's met with a superman punch
25:33Stomping Fatou in his tracks
25:57Our official Jason Ayers checking on both competitors
26:00Making sure they're both still fit for combat
26:05And Fatou underneath the ring
26:08Dragging himself out as he
26:12Tries to
26:13Get back into this match
26:32What is Reigns thinking here?
26:35He's got Jacob exactly where he wants him
26:50Looked at a kendo stick
26:51Looked at a chair
26:52And now
26:53I believe that's a
26:54Is that a toolbox?
26:55It sure is
26:56And we have seen the type of damage
27:00Toolboxes are capable of
27:01Within the confines of WWE
27:04And Reigns now
27:05Roman Reigns
27:06With a toolbox in the hand
27:08Trying to break the hand of Fatou
27:11Break the hand of Fatou
27:12Take away the
27:13You can't do shit with it now
27:16You can't do nothing with it now
27:20That's strategy by the tribal chief
27:22We're absolutely right
27:23Cole
27:24That was Roman's intent
27:25To damage the hand of Jacob Fatou
27:28Such that it's rendered
27:30Unusable
27:32Oh my god
27:34That was great
27:34Fatou was
27:36Was writhing in pain
27:37He may have a broken hand
27:39A broken wrist
27:44Again he
27:45He can get
27:46No grip
27:47The attack on the right hand of Fatou
27:50Jacob Fatou
27:52Screaming in pain
27:57Man what strategy by the champion
27:59Neutralized Fatou's greatest weapon
28:01Brilliant strategy
28:03By the OTC
28:04Yeah tried to stay away from the
28:05Death grip
28:06Wasn't able to
28:07And Reigns said forget it
28:08I'm gonna take it out now
28:09Not allow him to use it again
28:10In this match
28:17Unfortunately Cole
28:18Right now
28:19Jacob Fatou
28:20Is a wounded animal
28:21His back is against the wall
28:23Everything is at stake
28:25For the Samoan werewolf
28:26What will he do in this moment?
28:29Or is this the beginning
28:30And the end
28:30For Jacob Fatou
28:31And this is where Roman Reigns
28:33Is so dangerous
28:34You see him setting up the table
28:36Reigns in complete control now
28:38Of a wounded
28:39Jacob Fatou
28:40As he continues to put pressure
28:42On the injured
28:43Right hand
29:12And look at Reigns
29:13He's out of the corner
29:14And where is Fatou
29:15Getting the second wind
29:17Jacob Fatou
29:19Has risked everything
29:20In his life
29:21For this moment
29:22For this match
29:23For the opportunity
29:24To become the head of the table
29:26I don't know where it's coming from
29:28But Jacob Fatou
29:30Has it in abundance
29:31Oh no
29:31Look where Roman Reigns
29:32Is perched
29:33Jacob Fatou
29:34Is now rolled out of the ring
29:35Roman Reigns
29:36Was in this position
29:37A couple of weeks back
29:38On Monday Night Raw
29:46Yeah
29:47And Jacob Fatou
29:49With a full head of steam
29:51Met by a Superman
29:52Punch by Reigns
29:53I think Fatou
29:55Was trying to drive Reigns
29:56Through the barricade again
29:57You're absolutely right
29:59Jacob Fatou
29:59Wanted to go full
30:00Samoan bulldozer
30:02At the expense
30:03Of Roman Reigns
30:04But Roman
30:04Was able to fend it off
30:09An exhausted
30:10Physically beaten up champion
30:13As is the challenger
30:15The number one contender
30:25And Roman with a spear
30:27Through the barricade
30:31Payback
30:32For Reigns
30:45For what damage
30:46Did Roman inflict
30:47Upon himself
30:48Delivering this spear
30:49He clutched
30:50In his right shoulder
30:51Immediately
30:51And now sending
30:53Jacob back into the ring
30:54That's where the pinfall
30:55Or submission
30:55Has to take place
30:57And Roman Reigns
30:58Understands that
30:58And he could have
30:59Fatou
31:00Dead to rights here
31:04Spare
31:05Cover
31:09Fatou kicks out
31:11At two and a half
31:25The action in this one
31:28Has been non-stop
31:29Since the opening bell
31:32Both men refusing
31:34To relent
31:35Looking to destroy
31:36One another
31:37There's Roman
31:37Putting Jacob Fatou
31:39Through the barricade
31:40With a thunderous spear
31:43And then as Roman
31:45And then as Roman
31:46Delivered
31:47What he believed
31:48Was the kill shot
31:49Jacob Fatou
31:51Shocks
31:52Everyone
31:53By surviving
32:12You think I need the
32:14You think I need the
32:18You think I need the
32:23That's how he ended up
32:25Winning the match
32:25Backlash
32:26And once again
32:27Exposing the steel
32:28Turnbuckle
32:29As Reigns
32:37Exposing yet another
32:38Corner buckle
32:40Again the official
32:41Can do nothing about it
32:52Roman
32:53Exposed by the tribal chief
32:55Well that eats it Roman
32:56So many people believe
32:58That Roman Reigns
32:58Would have never survived
32:59Four years as champion
33:00If it wasn't with
33:01Help from outsiders
33:02Roman Reigns
33:03Target death grip
33:04Again
33:04Jacob Fatou
33:06But again
33:06The injured right hand
33:08Does not allow him
33:09To put it in
33:11And Roman Reigns
33:12Superman punch
33:13You saw the smile
33:14Across his face
33:15But Fatou
33:16Still on his feet
33:16And still fired up
33:17And Reigns
33:18Can't believe it
33:19And another Superman punch
33:20And Jacob Fatou
33:21Is still on his feet
33:25Off the exposed
33:26Steel buckle
33:27Into the other corner
33:29Like deja vu
33:31For Jacob Fatou
33:32Spare by Fatou
33:33Spare by Fatou
33:35Hook of the leg
33:36Roman survives
33:37Unreal
33:46First
33:46The exposed
33:48Steel
33:49Turnbuckle
33:50Twice
33:51And somehow
33:52Fatou
33:53Manages to
33:54Muster the power
33:55To deliver a spear
33:56To Roman
33:59And it's
34:00Jacob Fatou
34:01Back to his feet
34:03First
34:04And he is scary
34:05What a frightening
34:06Individual
34:06The amount of punishment
34:07This man has been able
34:08To suffer
34:09Top rope
34:10Went for the mighty
34:11Moonsault
34:11Nobody home
34:12Roman rolled out
34:14Of harm's way
34:17Disastrous landing
34:18For the challenger
34:27Looking for a spear
34:29Looking for a spear again
34:29A pump up Samoan
34:31A pump up Samoan
34:32And now Jacob
34:34Has Roman Reigns
34:35In the drop zone
34:37Mighty Moonsault
34:40Connects
34:41New champion
34:43New champion
34:44New champion
34:45Not quite
34:48Jacob
34:49That was
34:50As Roman kicked out
34:51He got the low blow
34:53I want to see a different angle
34:55But I think we've seen that
34:56Classic tribal chief
34:58Yeah Roman Reigns
34:59That was his MO
35:00Back when he was the champion
35:02Over four years
35:03Not sure if he got it or not
35:05It was hard for us to see
35:07At this angle
35:08And presumably
35:09It was desperation
35:10It was an attempt
35:11To kick out
35:13Either way
35:13Perfectly legal
35:14In tribal combat
35:16Covered by Fatou
35:18Yes and Roman Reigns
35:20Did deliver the low blow
35:22Which has helped him
35:23Survive on a number
35:24Of occasions
35:24Roman Reigns
35:26Going back to the well
35:27Tonight
35:27All is fair
35:29In love
35:30And tribal combat
35:35But it also shows
35:36Cracks in the armor
35:37Of the tribal chief
35:39A bit of desperation
35:40From Roman Reigns
35:41At this point
35:41Roman cannot believe
35:43That he
35:43Hasn't put Fatou
35:45Away yet
35:46He's hit him
35:47With everything
35:47In his arsenal
35:53You can see
35:55Fatou wince
35:56Each and every time
35:57He fires a right hand
35:58Thanks to the damage
36:00Inflicted by his opponent
36:06Oh
36:08Tongue and death grip
36:09Roman Reigns
36:10Got caught
36:11Fatou
36:12With a tongue
36:12And death grip
36:13Locked in
36:17And Roman able
36:18To break it
36:18And drive him
36:19Head first
36:19Into the exposed
36:20Steel turnbuckle again
36:22Oh my god
36:23Reigns has lost it
36:28And again
36:29The damage
36:29To the right hand
36:30Has cost Fatou here
36:35Roman
36:36Spear
36:37Through the table
36:39Which explodes
36:40In the ring
36:52How the hell is Fatou
36:54Back on his feet
36:55Roman can't believe it
36:57Either
36:57How is this man
36:58Back on his feet
37:01Another spear
37:02By Reigns
37:03Cover
37:04Roman Reigns
37:07With the win
37:09And he retains
37:11He is your winner
37:12And still
37:14The world
37:16Heavyweight champion
37:18The O
37:20T
37:21C
37:22The Samoan
37:23Roman
37:24Reigns
37:26The Samoan
37:28Werewolf
37:29Has been neutered
37:30He's been
37:32Domesticated
37:33At the hands
37:34Of the still
37:35Head of the table
37:37The still
37:37World champion
37:39Roman Reigns
38:02And what a match
38:03Corey
38:04What a match
38:05Rival combat
38:06Lived up to the hype
38:08And then some
38:09Roman Reigns
38:10Will wake up tomorrow
38:11Here in Turin
38:13Knowing he was in
38:14The fight of his life
38:16With everything
38:17On the line
38:18Roman Reigns
38:19Had to dig deep
38:20To find God mode
38:22But once again
38:23It was engaged
38:24And it helped Reigns
38:26Get past the challenge
38:28Of his own flesh and blood
38:30The mighty Samoan werewolf
38:32Jacob Fatou
38:34Tonight
38:35In Italy
38:36And now we
38:38Turn our attention
38:39And turn in Italy
38:41To tomorrow night
38:42And Monday Night Raw

38:56With the Ula Fala
38:58In hand
