Jacob Fatu is back in WWE. The Samoan Werewolf returned at the end of last night's Monday Night Raw in Greenville, South Carolina, standing with Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa beside The 946's burning truck before the group stormed the ring to save Roman Reigns. Reigns then challenged Royce Keys and The 946 to a WarGames Match at Survivor Series, and WWE has made it official. WWE's clip of the return passed 25,000 likes and 1.2 million views overnight. Check out the official post down below:
How The Return Played Out
The main event was built around Keys' demand for a face-to-face with Reigns. Earlier in the night, The 946 attacked Rey Fenix, Chad Gable and Big Cass after their Intercontinental Title No. 1 Contender's Triple Threat, and Keys sat down in a chair and warned Reigns that his family would get the same treatment if the World Heavyweight Champion did not come out and acknowledge him before the show ended.
Keys arrived through the crowd and admitted he had brought backup. The screen then cut to footage of The 946's truck on fire outside the arena, where The Usos, Sikoa and the returning Fatu were waiting. The Bloodline then hit the ring to even the numbers, and a brawl broke out between the 2 factions.
Reigns knocked Keys out of the ring, and Fatu stopped Keys from powerbombing The Tribal Chief. Fatu then hit Carmelo Hayes with a Samoan Drop before diving off the top onto him through the announce table. The 946 retreated, leaving Reigns standing in the ring with his family, and he laid down the WarGames challenge.
Where Fatu Has Been
Fatu had been off television since the September 28 episode of Raw, when Jaida Parker ran him over with a car during a backstage brawl between the 2 groups. His history with The 946 goes back further than that. WWE's official match preview notes that Keys formed the faction when he returned from an injury suffered at the hands of Fatu.
His alliance with Reigns is also new. Reigns beat Fatu in Tribal Combat at WWE Clash in Italy on May 31, retaining the World Heavyweight Title with a Spear through a table in the corner and another Spear in the middle of the ring. Afterward, Fatu reluctantly followed The Tribal Chief and The Usos up the ramp. That win made Reigns 3-0 in Tribal Combat, after earlier victories over Jey Uso at SummerSlam 2023 and Sikoa on the Raw on Netflix premiere in 2025.
The Road To WarGames
The feud has run for months. The 946 began with Keys, Bronco Nima and Lucien Price, then added Hayes and Parker. The group set The Usos' car on fire in a parking lot and abducted Sikoa before a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match, later releasing a video of him bound and hooded. At Money in the Bank, The 946 confronted Reigns from the crowd moments after he retained the title against LA Knight.
The latest addition came on the November 2 Raw, when a masked man attacked Reigns during Keys' match with Sikoa and revealed himself as NXT's Cruz Montana. More on that night is in WWE: Cruz Montana Joins The 946 And Levels Roman Reigns On Raw. Reigns also won the Men's Crown Jewel Championship over Sami Zayn in Riyadh on Saturday.
WWE confirmed the match shortly after Raw went off the air:
The WarGames Teams And Rules
- The Bloodline: Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu
- The 946: Royce Keys, Carmelo Hayes, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price and Cruz Montana
WWE calls it a "career-altering WarGames Match." A steel cage surrounds 2 rings, and the match begins with 1 member from each team. After 5 minutes, another wrestler enters from 1 of the 2 teams, and a new entrant follows every 3 minutes, alternating sides until all 10 are inside. There are no disqualifications, so weapons are allowed. The match officially starts once everyone has entered and ends by pinfall or submission.
Survivor Series: WarGames takes place Saturday, November 28 at Daikin Park in Houston, streaming at 4 PM MST on ESPN. The 40th Survivor Series also has Liv Morgan defending the Women's World Championship against Becky Lynch, plus a traditional elimination match between Team USA, captained by Cody Rhodes, and Team Mexico, captained by Rey Mysterio. Full results from last night are in WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW Results (November 9, 2026): Crown Jewel Fallout, Roman Reigns, Oba Femi & More.
Does Jacob Fatu's return give The Bloodline the edge over The 946 inside WarGames, or does Royce Keys' group still have another surprise left?
