The current World Heavyweight Champion was part of the show’s closing segment, where he tried to get Jacob Fatu to acknowledge him as his Tribal Chief. However, the situation spiraled completely out of control, with Fatu attacking Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Reigns himself.
During the chaos, Reigns fought back with several chair shots, but was eventually shut down by Fatu, who hit him with a Tongan Death Grip, a tope suicida, and finally a powerbomb through the announce table.

After the show went off the air, fan-shot footage showed Reigns receiving medical attention at ringside. Shortly after, he was seen leaving the arena with a towel wrapped around his left arm, fueling rumors of a possible injury.
As of now, WWE has not officially commented on Reigns’ physical condition. The situation is drawing attention because he defeated Fatu at Backlash last Saturday, retaining the World Heavyweight Championship, but the rivalry between the two is clearly far from over.
It remains to be seen whether the possible arm issue will affect WWE’s upcoming plans for Reigns, especially with the company already building toward Clash In Italy.
