BUFFALO, NEW YORK - AUGUST 17: Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu enter the ring during Monday Night RAW in Buffalo, New York. | (Photo by Cooper Neill/WWE via Getty Images) Raw’s closing segment seemed to suggest Roman Reigns had turned heel after berating a battered Solo Sikoa and telling Jacob Fatu to stand down. A report from False Finish claimed Reigns was currently listed internally as a heel in WWE. If that’s true, Reigns didn’t get the memo until after the show. On Wednesday, he shared bonus footage from after Raw went off the air on his Instagram. In it, he shook hands with a few fans as he and The Usos returned to the dressing room. View this post on Instagram Once backstage, they passed Jacob Fatu, who was standing silently in a corner. Jey Uso seemed most wary of Fatu. Earlier in the night, Reigns told Fatu to stand down after Fatu beat down Sikoa. It seemed like Sikoa was about to fall in line with Reigns until he blasted him with a Samoan Spike, then took out The Usos. LA Knight, who had come to Sikoa’s aid, then hit Reigns with a BFT. Before things turned violent, Fatu appeared upset when Reigns presented Jimmy and Jey with black Ula Falas and named them his captains. The scene mirrored the moment Reigns welcomed Fatu into The Bloodline, gifting him an Ula Fala as The Usos watched on, also looking upset. Talk about family drama. At least it makes for compelling TV. Has Reigns fully returned to his evil ways? Is Fatu’s position in The Bloodline tenuous? The only way to know for sure is to stay tuned to Raw. Reigns, though, won’t be on this Monday’s show. According to his advertised schedule, his next appearance is August 28 in Cleveland, where WWE will hold a Raw and SmackDown double taping.
