The WWE Universe is still reeling from the explosive events of the July 28, 2025, episode of WWE RAW, where a chaotic brawl involving Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed set the stage for an unforgettable showdown at SummerSlam 2025. However, the drama escalated further when Jacob Fatu, the electrifying WWE United States Champion and member of the Anoaʻi family, inserted himself into the fray, delivering a shocking statement that has left fans buzzing. Fatu’s actions against Breakker and Reed, in response to their brutal attack on Reigns and Uso, have added a new layer of intensity to an already heated rivalry, setting the wrestling world ablaze with anticipation.
The go-home episode of WWE RAW before SummerSlam was a powder keg, culminating in a main event that saw Jey Uso take on Bronson Reed. The match was abruptly interrupted when Bron Breakker stormed the ring, spearing Uso and triggering a disqualification. As the assault on Uso intensified, Roman Reigns, the Original Tribal Chief, made his entrance to a thunderous ovation, attempting to level the playing field. However, the odds were stacked against him. Breakker and Reed, backed by Paul Heyman’s cunning guidance, overwhelmed Reigns and Uso, delivering a devastating beatdown. Reed unleashed his signature Tsunami splash on both men, while Breakker sealed the chaos with a double spear through the timekeeper’s barricade, leaving the babyfaces battered and the crowd in shock.
This brutal display of dominance by Breakker and Reed was meant to send a message ahead of their tag team match against Reigns and Uso at SummerSlam, scheduled for Night 1 of the two-night extravaganza on August 2 and 3, 2025. The heel duo, aligned with Heyman’s new faction following his betrayal of Reigns at WrestleMania, has been positioned as a formidable threat, with Breakker boldly claiming to be the new “Big Dog” of WWE, dismissing Reigns’ relevance. Their actions on RAW underscored their intent to dismantle the legacy of The Bloodline and establish themselves as the future of the company.
Enter Jacob Fatu, whose involvement has thrown a wrench into the plans of Breakker and Reed. Fatu, who has been carving out his own legacy in WWE since his debut in 2024, is no stranger to high-stakes rivalries. As a former MLW World Heavyweight Champion and a key member of The Bloodline under Solo Sikoa’s leadership, Fatu has proven himself to be a dangerous and unpredictable force. His recent face turn, following a betrayal of Sikoa at Money in the Bank, has positioned him as a wildcard in the ongoing Bloodline saga. On the August 1 episode of SmackDown, Fatu addressed the attack on his cousins, Reigns and Uso, in a fiery promo that sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe.
Fatu didn’t mince words, calling out Breakker and Reed for their “cowardly” assault and vowing to make them pay. In a stunning move, he challenged both men to a confrontation on the SmackDown following SummerSlam, promising to “bring the fight to their doorstep.” Fatu’s words were backed by action when he ambushed Breakker and Reed during a post-RAW dark match, delivering a lightning-fast superkick to Breakker and a devastating Samoan Drop to Reed, leaving both men sprawled in the ring. The crowd erupted as Fatu stood tall, signaling his intent to protect his family’s honor and take on anyone who threatens The Bloodline’s legacy.
This bold move by Fatu has added a new dimension to the SummerSlam narrative. While Reigns and Uso are set to face Breakker and Reed in a tag team match, Fatu’s involvement suggests that the fallout from this rivalry will extend beyond the pay-per-view. His history with The Bloodline, coupled with his recent feud with Braun Strowman and his United States Championship reign, positions him as a pivotal figure in WWE’s evolving landscape. Fans are speculating whether Fatu will align with Reigns and Uso to reform the original Bloodline or continue to forge his own path as a solo star.
The tension between these powerhouses is palpable, with Breakker and Reed’s raw power clashing against the storied legacy of the Anoaʻi family. Breakker, a second-generation star with a pedigree tied to The Steiners, and Reed, a powerhouse with unmatched intensity, have proven they can hang with WWE’s elite. However, Fatu’s unpredictable nature and athletic prowess make him a unique threat. His actions have not only raised the stakes for SummerSlam but also hinted at a potential blockbuster match down the line, possibly involving Fatu against Breakker or Reed for the United States Championship.
As SummerSlam approaches, the WWE Universe is on edge, eagerly awaiting the clash between Reigns and Uso against Breakker and Reed. Fatu’s intervention has added fuel to an already raging fire, ensuring that this rivalry will have far-reaching consequences. Whether he joins forces with his cousins or continues to blaze his own trail, Jacob Fatu has made it clear that he’s a force to be reckoned with, and Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed are now firmly in his crosshairs.
