rewrite this title 5 Things that could happen if Jacob Fatu becomes the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion

At WWE Clash in Italy 2026, Jacob Fatu will get a massive opportunity as he will face Roman Reigns in a World Heavyweight Championship match.

This will be the second time that the Samoan Werewolf will face the Original Tribal Chief. Before this, the former United States Champion locked horns with the Head of the Table at WWE Backlash 2026.

Roman defeated the real-life Bloodline member, but Fatu still launched a post-match assault. This led to the rematch storyline and set up their rematch for the international show.

This article will discuss five things that could happen if Jacob Fatu becomes the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

#5. He becomes the Tribal Chief

This time, not only the World Heavyweight title but also the Tribal Chief mantle is on the line. If Jacob Fatu dethrones Roman Reigns and emerges as the new Champion, it will automatically make Fatu the next Tribal Chief.

Reigns has been carrying this gimmick since his return in the pandemic era. Roman turned heel and adopted the Tribal Chief character. Later, Ula Fala got introduced, and he protected his position from Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa and more.

However, if he loses at Clash in Italy, he will crown the new Tribal Chief in the Stamford-based promotion.

#4. Roman Reigns may go on a hiatus from WWE

If Jacob Fatu dethrones the Head of the Table at the upcoming international Premium Live event, it may lead to Reigns’ hiatus from WWE. Usually, when a big star suffers a title loss, he disappears from television.

As Roman is already working as a part-timer in the company, the chances are higher that he may go on hiatus from the Sports Entertainment if he loses the title to the Samoan Werewolf.

#3. Will become a main-event star

Jacob Fatu becoming the World Heavyweight Champion will immediately put him in the main event scenario. Furthermore, it solidifies him as the main-event star. If Jacob becomes the Champion at WWE Clash in Italy, the main-event scene on Monday Night RAW will revolve around him.

Additionally, he would headline the RAW brand almost every week and would be positioned as the main highlight of the shows.

#2. Become a permanent member of WWE RAW

Jacob Fatu is originally a member of the WWE SmackDown brand. As part of the Nick Aldis show, he competed against Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42 and defeated him.

Post-WrestleMania 42, Fatu confronted Roman Reigns on Monday Night RAW and ignited a feud against him and the OG Bloodline. If Jacob defeats the Head of the Table and becomes the new Champion, he may become a permanent member of Monday Night RAW.

#1. The Usos would support him

The Usos re-formed the OG Bloodline with Roman Reigns on the red brand. In the entire feud between Jacob and Roman, the Samoan Twins were heavily involved. Even Jey & Jimmy Uso tried multiple times to convince Fatu not to go against Roman Reigns.

Despite this, the 34-year-old continues to attack Roman Reigns. If Jacob becomes the new Champion, it could lead to the Usos supporting him post-Clash in Italy 2026. The Big Jim and the YEET Master might form a new version of the Bloodline with Jacob, until Roman retains his position as Tribal Chief from the Samoan Werewolf.

So, these are the potential things that could happen after the international Premium Live event if Jacob Fatu defeats Roman Reigns and becomes the new Champion. Now only time will tell what will happen on Sunday when both stars will lock horns in a singles bout.
