Speculation is building over a Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu possible WWE alliance, as industry veterans have weighed in on the prospects of the two stars joining forces in future storylines. In recent months, both competitors have made waves on WWE programming, yet they have never worked together on the same side, prompting many to wonder if a partnership—or a feud—could be on the horizon.
Past Encounters but No Team-Up Yet
In 2024, Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu clashed during three separate multi-man WWE matches, but have not been allies during those contests. Reporter Bill Apter raised the question of a future alliance in an exclusive video, suggesting the intrigue that surrounds the two top names.
Jacob Fatu’s Championship Run and Character Shift
Jacob Fatu, also known as the Samoan Werewolf, captured the United States Championship from LA Knight at WrestleMania 41 on April 19. Following this milestone, Fatu has shifted into a fan-favorite role, engaging in a rivalry with Solo Sikoa, a former Bloodline stablemate. During the same period, Reigns has remained absent from in-ring competition since losing to Seth Rollins and CM Punk at WrestleMania 41.
Industry Experts React to Potential Alliance
On an episode of The Wrestling Time Machine from Sportskeeda, Bill Apter appeared alongside Dutch Mantell, Mac Davis, and WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long to discuss future possibilities. During the discussion, Apter put forth his thoughts on a partnership:
“What do you think, not as a mouthpiece or anything, of when Roman Reigns comes back, he allies himself with Jacob Fatu?”
Apter said.
“I think that would be so strong. They’re both babyfaces now.”

Building on this idea, Teddy Long responded with a twist, highlighting how the alliance could transition into conflict:
“Bill, you said they both are babyfaces. Well, there’s a good way to do it. Bring Roman in and let Jacob turn on him.”
—Teddy Long, WWE Hall of Famer
What Could This Mean for WWE Storylines?
The possibility of Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu uniting—and potentially turning into rivals—could inject fresh energy into WWE narratives, considering their shared family heritage and rising popularity among fans. With Reigns expected to make a return to television soon and Fatu’s ongoing championship storyline, the wrestling world is watching closely to see if this teased alliance develops or if it leads to a shocking feud down the line.
