A former WWE World Heavyweight Champion believes a major Bloodline tease between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu was the highlight of the latest edition of Friday Night SmackDown. The champion being referred to is Mark Henry.
On this week's episode of the blue brand, Cody Rhodes locked horns with Solo Sikoa in a Steel Cage match for the Undisputed WWE Championship. After The American Nightmare successfully defended his title, Sikoa's Bloodline came inside the cage to attack him.
However, Roman Reigns showed up to make the save. The Original Tribal Chief took everyone out before standing face-to-face with Jacob Fatu. Before the two could get their hands on each other, Solo pulled Fatu out of the cage.
During an edition of the Busted Open podcast, Mark Henry said that he believed Roman Reigns standing face-to-face with Jacob Fatu was the biggest highlight of SmackDown.

Henry also mentioned that he was so invested in the segment that he got mad when Solo Sikoa pulled Jacob out of the cage.
"That was the biggest moment in the whole deal. When Jacob Fatu was standing across from Roman [Reigns] and everybody wants to see that. Everybody wanted to see it and I was fired up and I'm rubbing my hands. I'm like, 'Oh sh*t, here we go.' And Solo [Sikoa] yanks him down and pulls him out... I was the biggest fan of all wrestling at that point. I was just going nuts [but] he [Solo] took it away from me...Oh, he took it away from me, I was so mad," he said. [8:52 - 9:33]
The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion added that he wanted to see a match between The Original Tribal Chief and The Samoan Werewolf soon.
"That's my Christmas wish list. That's what I want. I don't want a big will, I don't want a new bike, I don't want video games, I want Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu," he added. [10:45 - 11:03]
