Eric André disrespects Roman Reigns during Little Brother premiere
Summary

At the premiere of Netflix's Little Brother, Eric André was given a Roman Reigns T-shirt but reacted poorly, declaring he didn't want it. This followed an incident where Jacob Fatu attacked André for his behavior towards him backstage on Raw. Fatu had previously taken issue with André, who had engaged in inappropriate behavior involving Fatu's Ula Fala necklace. The escalating tension suggests a continuation of the storyline involving André and Fatu within WWE.

Whoever said “a fool never learns” must’ve had Eric André in mind. | (Photo: WWE) To paraphrase the immortal words of Wayne Brady: Is Jacob Fatu gonna have to choke a bitch? It seems so. In a true “fool never learns” moment, actor and comedian Eric André disrespected Roman Reigns just days after Fatu knocked him into the dirt on Raw for getting too hands-on with “The Samoan Werewolf.” At the premiere for Netflix’s Little Brother with his co-star John Cena, André arrived in style, only to have his suit ripped off when it got caught in a car door as the vehicle sped away. As he scrambled for clothing, André was given a Roman Reigns T-shirt. The comedian was neither appreciative of the gesture nor respectful of the Tribal Chief. “Oh, what the fuck?” André shouted. “I don’t want a Roman Reigns shirt. Fuck this!” Eric André’s suit got stuck at the Little Brother premiere 👀 pic.twitter.com/0onF6spa4w — Netflix Is A Joke (@NetflixIsAJoke) June 19, 2026 Some might argue that André has a right to be salty. On Monday, he seemed to be in tight with Reigns as the World Heavyweight Champion and his Bloodline left the ring following a promo. Jimmy Uso also showed the funny man some love after his brother, Jey, snubbed him. But as Fatu was walking away, André patted him on the back and then started to play with Fatu’s Ula Fala, a gift just given to him that signaled his official place in the Bloodline. As you would imagine, Fatu didn’t take kindly to that. He pulled André over the rails and beat the bejesus out of him while Reigns laughed before giving Fatu the green light to give André a second drubbing. André can be sour, if he so chooses, even though he did make light of Fatu and his prestigious necklace. Now, he disrespects the OTC? If Monday is any indication, a Netflix sequel starring André could see Fatu sticking that shirt where the sun doesn’t shine. Any guesses as to what the title of that film might be, dear readers?
