The May 4 episode of WWE RAW ended with a heated contract signing between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu, as their World Heavyweight Championship match for Backlash was made official.

Jacob Fatu Roman Reigns Contract Signing Turns Violent

Reigns opened the segment by addressing the crowd in Omaha and demanding acknowledgment before turning his attention to Fatu. He framed himself as the one who helped open doors for their family, including Solo Sikoa, and said that respect should follow.

Reigns also criticized Fatu’s use of the Tongan Death Grip, calling it a move reserved for desperate situations.

Fatu responded by embracing that label.

He said he is desperate and feels like he is fighting the world alone, adding that he is willing to do whatever it takes to take Reigns’ title and provide for his household.

Contract Signing Leads to Brawl

After both men signed the contract, Reigns made it clear that while they may be equals as family, he sees Fatu as beneath him inside the ring.

That comment triggered the physical confrontation.

Fatu attempted to lock in the Tongan Death Grip again, while Reigns fought back and looked to land a Superman Punch. The exchange quickly broke down into a full brawl, with officials, including Adam Pearce, trying to separate them.

Fatu Stands Tall to Close RAW

Fatu ultimately gained control of the situation, countering Reigns and driving him through the contract table to close the show.

Officials rushed in to hold Fatu back as Reigns was left down, giving Fatu momentum heading into their championship clash at Backlash.

The segment firmly established the intensity of the rivalry, with Fatu positioning himself as a serious threat to Reigns’ title reign.

With tensions escalating and both men making their intentions clear, their match at Backlash now carries even higher stakes.

The May 4 episode of WWE RAW at the CHI Health Center Omaha marked a major milestone for Sol Ruca, who made her first true impression on the main roster after being part of the latest wave of NXT call‑ups. Fans in Omaha were introduced to the originator of the Sol Snatcher in a segment designed to officially welcome her to Monday nights.

Adam Pearce brought Sol to the ring following a highlight package that showcased her athleticism and rise through NXT. The crowd gave her a warm reception as Pearce congratulated her and presented the RAW contract. Sol said it would feel “so damn good” to sign it and officially become part of the brand.

Before she could finish, Becky Lynch interrupted. Becky insisted this was her scheduled time, prompting Pearce to question who approved it. Becky reminded him she had still won her match against “Iyo Jannetty,” making it clear she wasn’t leaving.

Sol asked if Becky was done. Becky said she wasn’t. Sol fired back, telling her not everything revolves around Becky. Becky responded that the sooner Sol learned that, the better. Sol said she respected everything Becky had accomplished, but she didn’t expect Becky to actually be everything people say about her — “a rude, big‑headed bitch” — and added she wasn’t the only one saying it.

Becky turned to Pearce, asking if he was going to let Sol talk to her like that. Sol signed her contract anyway. Becky demanded to know who Sol thought she was. Sol warned that if Becky ever interrupted her again, she would not only kick her ass but “smash her soul.”

Becky struck first, sparking a brief brawl. Pearce shouted for order as they fought into the corner — the perfect setup for Sol to bend and hit the Sol Snatcher, leaving Becky stunned and the Omaha crowd roaring.
