Not only did Fatu dominate the match against Reigns and never only did he lay Reigns out with a post-match attack, but he punctuated it with one other attack during &#8220;WWE Raw,&#8221; laying waste to each Reigns and the Usos, and making it clear that Reigns can be seeing him again briefly order.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And yet, Bully Ray is starting to wonder if Fatu&#8217;s momentum is not all that it&#8217;s cracked as much as be. Reviewing &#8220;Raw&#8221; on <a href=\"https:\/\/busted-open.simplecast.com\/episodes\/jacob-fatu-does-not-acknowledge-roman-reigns\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Busted Open Radio,&#8221;<\/a> the two-time Hall of Famer seemed slightly concerned with each the credibility of Fatu&#8217;s Tongan Death Grip, which Bully feels was devalued by Reigns&#8217; lack of selling for it at Backlash, and the positive response Reigns has received from fans, despite Reigns portraying a more heelish character. This, and Fatu not getting as big of reactions, makes Bully feel that Fatu could actually be in a little bit of trouble, despite how strongly he&#8217;s been portrayed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jacob Fatu is in a precarious situation,&#8221; Bully said. &#8220;Because I actually, really listened to the people last night, and I desired to see how are they going to react, audibly, to Roman Reigns and the way is that going to affect Jacob. Jacob Fatu got one real&#8230;once he went through the curtain, he got one real response last night, in my view. And that&#8217;s when he turned around at the tip of the segment, once the credits were rolling, and he ran towards Roman and the Usos and steamrolled them, speared them, plowed them through the wall, the barricade.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>For those who use any of the quotes in this text, please credit &#8220;Busted Open Radio&#8221; and supply a h\/t to Wrestling Inc. for the transcription<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"news-article\">\n<h2 class=\"\">Opinion: Jacob Fatu is in a extremely good position<\/h2>\n<div class=\"slide-key image-holder gallery-image-holder credit-image-wrap \" data-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.wrestlinginc.com\/2171215\/bully-ray-jacob-fatu-really-bad-spot-wwe-raw\/\" data-post-title=\"Bully Ray Says Jacob Fatu Is 'In A Really Bad Spot' Following WWE Raw\" data-slide-num=\"1\" data-post-id=\"2171215\">\n<picture id=\"p2ec6cb177186d5434f39def314cbd33d\"><source media=\"(min-width: 429px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wrestlinginc.com\/img\/gallery\/bully-ray-jacob-fatu-really-bad-spot-wwe-raw\/opinion-jacob-fatu-is-in-a-really-good-position-1778612917.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><source media=\"(max-width: 428px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wrestlinginc.com\/img\/gallery\/bully-ray-jacob-fatu-really-bad-spot-wwe-raw\/opinion-jacob-fatu-is-in-a-really-good-position-1778612917.sm.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" src=\"https:\/\/www.wrestlinginc.com\/img\/gallery\/bully-ray-jacob-fatu-really-bad-spot-wwe-raw\/opinion-jacob-fatu-is-in-a-really-good-position-1778612917.jpg\" data-slide-url=\"https:\/\/www.wrestlinginc.com\/2171215\/bully-ray-jacob-fatu-really-bad-spot-wwe-raw\/\" data-post-id=\"2171215\" data-slide-num=\"1\" data-slide-title=\"Bully Ray Says Jacob Fatu Is 'In A Really Bad Spot' Following WWE Raw: Opinion: Jacob Fatu is in a really good position\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" alt=\"Jacob Fatu making his entrance at WrestleMania\"><br \/>\n                    <\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n                    <span class=\"gallery-image-credit\">Ethan Miller\/Getty Images<\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n<div class=\"columns-holder \">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Having been at this job for a few years now, I actually have seen loads of Bully Ray takes which have made me stop in my tracks and ponder just what on earth what he happening about. That said, the one time a Bully Ray opinion has left me as confused as this one he has on Jacob Fatu was when he rage quitted on the Wyatt Sicks eating at Whataburger right after their debut. Let&#8217;s reiterate; over the past couple of days, Fatu all but defeated Roman Reigns to win a World Title, got his heat back immediately afterward, left Reigns and his goon squad laying to shut out &#8220;Raw.&#8221; And I&#8217;m alleged to sit here and think that he&#8217;s in a foul spot?!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Normally this is able to be the part where I&#8217;d attempt to see where Bully was coming from, but I am unable to; there isn&#8217;t any other technique to see what is going on on and suggest anything apart from Jacob Fatu being in a extremely, really good position immediately. Roman Reigns is the most important star in WWE last I checked, and Fatu is not just hanging with him, but he&#8217;s besting him time and time again apart from in winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Sure, I&#8217;d not expect him to beat Reigns on this feud, and the follow up could possibly be a spot where WWE very easily drops the ball with Fatu. But immediately, at this very moment? Jacob Fatu doesn&#8217;t just look good; he looks great. And I do not think the group reacting to him either way changes that so long as they&#8217;re reacting. The undeniable fact that they&#8217;re, and the undeniable fact that Fatu&#8217;s been booked as strong as he&#8217;s tells me that is working. How anyone could suggest otherwise is beyond me.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calvin Hernandez\/Getty Images Although he got here up short against Roman Reigns at WWE Backlash days ago, it seems protected to say that Jacob Fatu has largely gotten the higher of the WWE World Heavyweight Champion during their short feud.
