May 26 (UPI) -- World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and his rival Jacob Fatu had a war of words leading up to their upcoming title match on WWE Raw.
Reigns, who was celebrating his 41st birthday on Monday, signed the contract to face his cousin Fatu in a Tribal Combat match for the World Heavyweight Championship. The high-stakes bout will take place at Clash in Italy on Sunday.
A Tribal Combat match has no rules and the loser must acknowledge the winner as the Tribal Chief. The Tribal Chief is the leader of Reigns' and Fatu's storied wrestling family.
Reigns signed the contract quickly and told Raw general manager Adam Pearce to exit the ring along with security so that he could be alone with his cousin.
"Jacob if you beat me, then you become the head of the table. You become the shot caller. You lead and I follow," Reigns said before stating that he was going to dog walk Fatu.
