Footage from the May 11 RAW in Knoxville shows Roman Reigns being checked by WWE medical staff after a brutal table attack by Jacob Fatu, with Reigns appearing to favor his left arm as he exits the arena. The clip has fans debating whether the injury is real or part of a larger storyline as WWE positions Reigns for upcoming events like Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Backlash 2026 offered a mixed bag: Asuka vs. Iyo Sky was a standout technical matchup and Jacob Fatu’s main-event performance hinted at a new challenger for Roman Reigns, but the show dragged at times with Bron Breakker vs. Seth Rollins, relied on gimmicks like the Gingerbread Man, and struggled with Cena’s “John Cena Classic” concept and some missteps from Michael Cole. Overall, the night was passable rather than blockbuster, with Fatu’s rising profile the clear takeaway.
A planned Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu match at Saturday Night's Main Event did not occur as chaos erupted after Fatu attacked Rhodes; officials were overwhelmed, and Drew McIntyre eventually powerbombed Fatu through a table, leaving the bout unresolved.
