Roman Reigns could face Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania 41, predicts WWE analyst, for a major reason
Roman Reigns' entrance at WrestleMania will feel different without the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship around his waist. Meanwhile, WWE analyst Sam Roberts recently predicted a match between The Original Tribal Chief and Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Earlier this year, Roman Reigns went on a hiatus, and a new monster appeared on SmackDown. The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa introduced the WWE Universe to Jacob Fatu as he wreaked havoc on Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton.
In an appearance on the Busted Open Radio podcast, Sam Roberts predicted a match between Reigns and Fatu at WrestleMania 41. However, the match could only happen if The Rock is not available for the event in 2025, as The Samoan Werewolf will be a formidable opponent for The Original Tribal Chief.
"It's interesting that you could easily put together an amazing WrestleMania without The Rock, which is incredible. The idea of building Jacob Fatu over the next five months. And your Roman Reigns' match is Roman vs. Jacob at WrestleMania [41]. It's incredibly realistic," Sam Roberts said. [19:59 - 20:22]

Roman Reigns has crossed paths with Jacob Fatu after returning to WWE
Earlier this year, Roman Reigns' Undisputed WWE Universal Championship reign ended at WrestleMania XL, and The Original Tribal Chief decided to rest for a while as he went on a much-needed break from the Stamford-based promotion.
In his absence, Solo Sikoa took charge of The Bloodline and made some additions to the faction. However, it was Jacob Fatu who made the biggest difference in the group as its Enforcer.
A few months ago, The Samoan Werewolf attacked The Original Tribal Chief when he tried to reclaim the Ula Fala from Solo. Later, Roman teamed up with Cody Rhodes to take on Sikoa and Jacob in a tag team match at the Bad Blood 2024 Premium Live Event.
Regardless of their past interaction, the two are yet to have a one-on-one bout in the Stamford-based promotion. For those unaware, Roman, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso are set to take on Solo's Bloodline in a Six-Man Tag Team Match at WWE Crown Jewel 2024.
