The power dynamic in WWE has officially shifted. Jacob Fatu has acknowledged Roman Reigns, throwing a massive wrench into Solo Sikoa's plans for Bloodline dominance.While Solo brought Fatu in as his ultimate weapon, allegiance to the Tribal Chief runs deeper than anyone realized. In this episode/article, we analyze the massive fallout of this segment, how it re-establishes Roman Reigns at the top of the mountain, and why a united Roman and Jacob makes The Bloodline more dangerous than ever before.#WrestleMania #WomensWrestling #WWECreate some of the best social clips using OPUS Clip.

Roman Reigns addresses Jacob Fatu one week after getting completely destroyed by The Samoan Werewolf on Monday Night RAW!

WWE Backlash is in the books, and we've got a packed episode breaking it all down! Roman Reigns defeated Jacob Fatu in what might be the most important match of 2026 — but is Fatu actually the monster heel WWE needs, or is he a tweener that loses his edge the more we see him? We compare him to legends like Vader and Umaga to figure out where he fits. Then we dive into the John Cena Classic — a fan-voted PLE pitting NXT vs. the main roster with a brand-new title on the line. Sounds cool, but the details are thin. Is this the future of WWE storytelling or a gimmick? Plus, 30 WWE releases have hit the wire, The New Day is gone over contract disputes, and Kevin Nash is out here telling wrestlers to unionize through SAG. Is he right? We debate it. And we throw out quick predictions for the next PLE before wrapping with a "Do We Care?" segment covering The New Day possibly heading to AEW, Mason Rook in NXT, and Oba Femi's open challenge.

On this week's episode of My World, Jeff Jarrett and Conrad Thompson pull no punches as they break down some of the most controversial headlines in wrestling today. Jeff sounds off on the WWE Backlash main event booking of Jacob Fatu and Roman Reigns, calling it a major misstep and explaining why it could do more harm than good to Fatu's long-term trajectory. That leads into speculation about Reigns' future, as Jeff weighs in on whether "The Tribal Chief" could be on his way out of WWE. The conversation heats up as Jeff questions WWE's handling of The New Day. He also dives into the recent wave of "legacy retirements," suggesting there may be more going on than meets the eye. Plus, Jeff tackles the idea of eliminating house shows altogether, arguing that it feels like a step backward for the business and explaining why the live event model still matters.

PWTorch editor Wade Keller is joined by PWTorch's Joshua White. They discuss the Roman Reigns-Jacob Fatu contract signing and the odd "Proof of Concept" phrase Roman used to apparently explain why he's world champion (as opposed to, you know, being the best wrestler who wins matches in the ring). Also, John Cena's pitch for Club WWE and the general malaise of TKO's seeming glutinous corporate greed that knows no limits, WWE roster cuts including The New Day, Becky Lynch-Sol Ruca, Logan Paul's tantrum over Joe Hendry, Bron Breakker making fun of Seth Rollins too effectively, and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-post-shows--3275545/support.

On this episode of Two Dudes With Attitudes: A Wrestling Podcast, we break down a HUGE week in WWE filled with shocking releases, major storyline developments, and standout promos across RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. We start with the breaking news that 24 WWE Superstars were released, including the entire Wyatt Sicks faction, Aleister Black, and Zelina Vega. What led to these cuts, and what could be next for these talents? From SmackDown (April 24, 2026), we dive into Jacob Fatu destroying the MFTs singlehandedly, solidifying himself as a serious threat to Roman Reigns ahead of Backlash. We also discuss the debut of Jacy Jayne and Fatal Influence, and the massive heat she generated right out of the gate. On RAW, we break down the opening segment featuring Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso, now calling themselves The First Family. We also cover the intense promo exchange between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu, which ends with Fatu delivering the Tongan Death Grip and forcing Roman to accept his challenge for Backlash. We also talk: Seth Rollins vs Bron Breakker and what might be the best promo of Bron's careerJoe Hendry's RAW debut, including his catchy (and brutal) song calling for Logan Paul to be firedOver on NXT, we discuss the debuts of EVIL, Will Kroos, and Tate Wilder and ask the big question: Is this a new era for NXT? Plus, we react to Ricky Saints' final NXT match as he prepares for his SmackDown call-up. We close the show with our weekly LVD/MVD segment, naming our Least and Most Valuable Dudes/Dudettes of the week.
