Wrestling legend says 32-year-old star is one of the only exciting opponents left for Roman Reigns (Exclusive)
Roman Reigns is back and will seemingly be present for the rest of the year's WWE programming, but that doesn't mean he's going to be around all the time. In the opinion of wrestling legend Bill Apter, there are only a few exciting names for him to face and he picked a 32-year-old star as one of them.
On the Q&A with Bill Apter and WrestleVotes on Backstage Pass, host Joe Lowry spoke to Bill Apter and WrestleVotes about a variety of topics, such as AJ Styles' injury, the WrestleMania 41 main event plans, and more.
Bill Apter is of the opinion that Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu is a very compelling match. In his mind, the 32-year-old Fatu is one of the only opponents left for the OTC who he considers to be exciting.
"Wow, I think that's [Roman vs Jacob] a very compelling match . The fans went crazy over Roman [Reigns]. They want to see him destroy the other side of The Bloodline. I'm hoping it's going to happen, perhaps as early as Survivor Series. I think they're going to be against each other with teams at Survivor Series and perhaps in January in the Royal Rumble, we'll see them against each other. But Jacob Fatu is so wonderfully insane. That's one of the few matches that I look at and say 'I want to see that match, I can't wait to see what they do with that.'"

What did Jacob Fatu tell Roman Reigns during their brief interaction at Bad Blood 2024?
WWE has been very clearly teasing a future match between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu. In many ways, Solo Sikoa as The Tribal Chief has been slowly taking a backseat in popularity to the hotter and fresher Jacob Fatu, who is already getting great reactions.
During their brief interaction at Bad Blood 2024 in the main event, Jacob Fatu told The OTC that Solo Sikoa was his Tribal Chief.
"Solo Sikoa is your Tribal Chief," he said.
Fatu has been showing unwavering loyalty to Solo Sikoa and he has become the new Enforcer of The Bloodline, a role that Solo previously held.
It's going to be interesting to see what happens when Reigns and Fatu finally face off. They are rumored to be on opposing sides for the upcoming Survivor Series: WarGames PLE next month.
