Braun Strowman Def. Jacob Fatu By DQ

After one other fireplace pre-match promo, Michael Cole famous Fatu had been in jail 3 times. I really like how WWE is utilizing Fatu’s real-life backstory so as to add to his aura, which already initiatives “real-life badass.”

Surprisingly, Fatu took the primary bump seconds into this match. I didn’t suppose both was going to take a bump for a couple of minutes. Fatu answered with a Suicide Dive on Strowman earlier than SNME went to interrupt.

Strowman tends to get out of doing jobs to different monsters, as a result of Bronson Reed by no means secured any wins over Strowman of their monster matches.

Strowman was bleeding from the mouth, and Fatu continued to beat him down with WWE officers filling the ring. Followers chanted “another time!” after a double-jump moonsault. Fatu obliged. Followers then chanted “Fatu!”
