WWE Raw live results: Jacob Fatu, Roman Reigns Acknowledgement Ceremony
Monday Night Raw airs live tonight from the Food City Center in Knoxville, Tennessee, with the fallout from Backlash.
WWE is advertising an Acknowledgement Ceremony, where Jacob Fatu will have to acknowledge his cousin, Roman Reigns. The latter escaped with his World Heavyweight Championship at Backlash by narrowly avoiding defeat at the hands of Fatu and the Tongan Death Grip. Fatu also laid out Reigns with the hold after the match and will likely be looking for more.
The Street Profits will team with Joe Hendry in a six-man tag team match against Bron Breakker, Logan Paul and Austin Theory of The Vision. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins have been after the Tag Team Champions, Paul and Theory, for weeks since returning, while Breakker is coming off a win over Seth Rollins.
Women’s Tag Team Champions Paige and Brie Bella will appear live to answer the challenge of Judgment Day’s Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez.
Plus, Oba Femi’s open challenge will continue.
Our live coverage begins at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

Show Recap —
After a Backlash recap video, wrestlers were shown arriving, and the announcers ran down tonight’s card.
Adam Pearce approached Roman Reigns as he arrived at the arena in Knoxville. Pearce wasn’t sure Jacob Fatu deserved to even be here tonight after what he did at Backlash. Reigns wanted to know where his title (belt) was and why it wasn’t in his hand. A random stagehand ran up and handed Reigns his belt.
Pearce reiterated that he didn’t think Fatu deserved to be here tonight, or even at all. Reigns said Pearce couldn’t fire Fatu, at least not tonight. Reigns was the one who brought him in, and he would be the one to take him out.
