Jacob Fatu delivered an emotional and intense interview ahead of his Backlash main event against Roman Reigns.
Speaking on the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast with O’Shea Jackson Jr. and TJ Jefferson, Fatu made it clear that this match is not just another step in his WWE run. For him, facing Reigns is about family, survival, legacy, and proving that he belongs at the very top of the company.
Fatu praised Reigns as one of the greatest of all time, but he also said he is not stepping into Backlash to fall in line. He explained that his goal is to change his family’s future and create a better life for his wife and children.
The interview also focused heavily on Fatu’s past. He spoke about seeing The Usos and other family members on WWE television while he was dealing with trouble as a young man. Those moments helped push him toward wrestling, even if his path to WWE took longer than expected.
Fatu also discussed the importance of his family history. He credited his father, The Tonga Kid, along with Rikishi, Gangrel, and others for helping shape his career. He also made it clear that the Anoa’i and Fatu family connection is real, not just something created for television.
One major topic was the return of the Tongan Death Grip. Fatu said the move is sacred and tied to the legendary Haku. He explained that against someone like Reigns, he needed something powerful enough to shake another member of the family.
Fatu also opened up about his recent health scare. He revealed that dental issues forced him to slow down and take care of himself after doctors warned that the situation could have affected his heart and brain. He said the time away helped him reconnect with his family and refocus before returning to WWE.
The interview gave fans a deeper look at why Backlash means so much to Fatu. He said his wife and kids will not be there to watch him wrestle. They will be there to witness the start of a new life if he defeats Roman Reigns.
Fatu closed the conversation by making his mindset clear. Backlash is not just another premium live event for him. It is the moment where he plans to prove that nobody in WWE has ever dealt with someone like Jacob Fatu.
