Reigns and Fatu Sign Contract, Brawl on WWE Raw

Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu signed the contract for their World Heavyweight Championship match at Backlash on Monday's WWE Raw. General Manager Adam Pearce presided over the in-ring contract signing. Reigns expressed displeasure over Fatu's use of the Tongan Death Grip the previous week. Fatu stated his intent to win the title.

Reigns initially signed the contract, but the situation escalated when he confronted Fatu. Fatu retaliated with another Tongan Death Grip, briefly releasing Reigns before reapplying the hold. Fatu then slammed Reigns through the signing table and signed the contract as the show concluded.
