Jacob Fatu Injury Update Detailed in New WWE Rumors Ahead of Roman Reigns Match at Clash in Italy

Jacob Fatu is scheduled to challenge Roman Reigns in Tribal Combat for the World Heavyweight Championship at the Clash in Italy on Sunday.

Unfortunately, some doubt has been cast over Fatu's status after a reported injury suffered at a live event on Thursday, per Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com (h/t Wrestle Features and WrestlePurists).

Cory Hays of False Finish provided more information:

Reigns defeated Fatu at Backlash after using an exposed turnbuckle to injure him before finishing off his real-life cousin with a spear. However, Fatu got the last laugh, applying the Tongan Death Grip on Reigns and even standing with the champion's belt as the show closed.

The two have engaged in a heated rivalry ever since, with both getting their attacks in on the other. The stakes were raised on the May 18 edition of Raw after Fatu challenged Reigns to Tribal Combat.

Now Fatu will presumably get another shot at the belt he richly desires. However, the reported injury certainly brings some questions into the mix.

As of now, Fatu is still slated to participate in Clash in Italy. Hopefully he's still able to wrestle and get his second chance at Reigns' belt.
