Add as a preferred source on Google The final Friday Night SmackDown before WWE Backlash took place in Jacksonville, Florida, and saw Jacob Fatu come to the ring to address his World Heavyweight Championship match against Roman Reigns.
But as has been the case in recent weeks, the Samoan Werewolf was interrupted by The Usos.
Jey and Jimmy once again warned Fatu about losing to Reigns on Saturday. In their eyes, a loss would force Fatu to acknowledge the OTC in front of his family, who will be watching from the front row at Benchmark International Arena.

Fatu made it clear he does not fear those consequences. He vowed to beat Reigns, become the new World Heavyweight Champion, and prove that things exist and happen without the current champion.
To close the segment, Fatu declared war on the entire family. He said that if Jey and Jimmy interfere in the title match, he will burn them all down.
With that, Fatu made it clear he is more confident than ever heading into his match against Reigns. The OTC will defend the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time since WrestleMania 42, where he defeated CM Punk to become the new champion.
