Jacob Fatu had a distressing call with a mystery individual ahead of tonight’s episode of WWE Smackdown. WWE posted a video to Twitter of Fatu on the phone in an agitated state. You can see the video below.
Fatu repeats, “I know, I know, I know” and flips a table in his frustration, before saying, “I was different; I was different there.” He then takes a deep breath and says, “Okay… I love you guys,” before he hung up.
Fatu then says, “I keep tapping in… I keep tapping in. I went from ‘Little cousin;’ alright. He was right. And it went to, ‘I’m not ready,’ to ‘No.’” He then looks into the camera and says, “After tonight, there ain’t no more nos.”
He goes to leave the room, but looks back at the camera and says, “It’s not even Backlash, Roman. I’ll see you this Monday,” before leaving.
Jacob Fatu will battle Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Backlash on May 9th.
