Overview
- WWE opened Monday Night Raw on June 16 with Roman Reigns formally welcoming Jacob Fatu into The Bloodline by presenting him an Ula Fala, the necklace linked to Tribal Chief authority.
- As the faction left the ring comedian Eric André touched the newly gifted Ula Fala, which provoked Fatu to grab André, drag him into the ring, and deliver two top‑rope splash attacks.
- Reigns initially appeared to call the assault off from the apron but then signaled Fatu to continue, authorizing the second splash that left André down in the ring.
- WWE officials including Raw general manager Adam Pearce rushed to the ring and commentary said André would be medically evaluated for rib impact, while WWE posted video of the induction and attack on its official accounts.
- The segment both re‑frames The Bloodline as a reunited faction with Fatu as its physical enforcer and highlights real‑world risks and publicity stakes of celebrity tie‑ins, as André was on Raw to promote his Netflix film with John Cena.
