Eric Andre’s night on WWE Raw took a turn for the worse after Roman Reigns gave Jacob Fatu the green light to attack the actor and comedian.
Andre was ringside during a Bloodline segment featuring Reigns, Fatu and The Usos when he unexpectedly became part of the action.
The incident happened shortly after Reigns formally welcomed Fatu into The Bloodline, presenting him with an ula fala to mark the occasion.

As the group made their way back up the ramp, Andre reached out and touched Fatu’s ula fala. Fatu immediately reacted, pulling Andre over the barricade and into the ring before setting him up for a top-rope splash.
WWE officials, including Raw general manager Adam Pearce, rushed to the ring to intervene. Fatu appeared ready to stop when Reigns climbed onto the apron and called him off.
After a pause, Reigns changed his mind and allowed Fatu to continue. Fatu then hit Andre with a splash from the top rope, leaving him laid out in the ring.

The attack did not end after the first splash. Reigns called for another splash, and Fatu climbed back up to deliver a second one.
The segment ended with Andre still down in the ring as The Bloodline made their exit. During the commercial break, officials helped Andre back up the ramp.
Commentary noted the impact on Andre’s ribs and said he would be checked by medical staff.
The angle came during a significant Bloodline segment, with Fatu officially welcomed into the group and presented with his own ula fala by Reigns.
