Summary

Jacob Fatu offered his picks for two of WrestleMania 42 night two's biggest matches after his own win over Drew McIntyre on Saturday.

Asked for his thoughts on Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi and CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns, Fatu sided with Lesnar in the first matchup and backed his cousin Reigns to leave with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event.

Those are the same two marquee bouts that have already drawn attention in WrestleMania 42 prop odds, which underlines how central both matches are to Sunday night's card.

Quote from Jacob Fatu

"Brock Lesnar is the beast at the end of the day, then again we can't underestimate Oba coming through that thing. He's up and coming, damn near the same size. My pick, I think it's Brock man. I still think it's Brock."

Fatu later went on to say:

"I don't even have to say nothing. He brought us all here, he is the Tribal Chief, he is Roman Reigns, and if we're talking about the man doing his thing, we're all going to acknowledge him."

Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar stay central to night two

By backing Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, Fatu put his support behind two of WWE's most established stars heading into the biggest matches on Sunday's show. That matters because Reigns is challenging for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, while Lesnar is being tested by an opponent WWE has framed as a rising powerhouse in Oba Femi.

Fatu's comments also reinforce how much star power is concentrated around night two. Lesnar vs. Femi is being framed around raw physicality, while Punk vs. Reigns carries title stakes and family ties through Fatu's public endorsement of Reigns.
