Roman Reigns did it.
He said the thing.
Hell yeah.
The bigger news, at least for this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw in Greenville, South Carolina, was the big television return of Jacob Fatu. Jaida Parker ran him over with a car back in late September and he’s been out ever since.
How they shot his return was a fantastic bit of television.
Royce Keys had called out Reigns to face him in the ring. The Tribal Chief took
him up on it, and they met in the main event. Keys made clear he is, in fact, not a man of his word and he did not come alone, the entirety of his 946 crew there to back him up. Reigns, amused, responded in kind. He, too, did not come alone.
And he let the following video do the talking:
They burned down the vehicle 946 arrived in and Fatu emerged from the smoke and shadows, the fifth and final member of the squad ready to do violence on behalf of the family. The Bloodline went out and did just that, leading to Reigns doing the aforementioned thing to a huge pop.
It all got over incredibly well, despite the fact that Greenville was quiet for much of the evening, and you could hear a pin drop when Royce first came out to confront Reigns with no music.
Over on the women’s side, Fatal Influence struck an alliance with Jade Cargill and her baddies, making clear Charlotte Flair & Friends have formidable foes staring them down just ahead of Survivor Series on Nov. 28 in Houston. It’s obvious where this is heading.
This is fun, huh?
