Jacob Fatu fires warning at Roman Reigns ahead of Backlash as WWE Chile show sells out
Jacob Fatu delivered a blistering promo on No-Contest Wrestling ahead of his Backlash showdown with Roman Reigns, brushing off fan skepticism about beating the newly crowned champion and pointing to his meteoric rise to a main-event PLE slot. Fatu named dream WrestleMania opponents, called out online doubters, and coincided with heavy promotion for Backlash from The Miz on national TV.
Elsewhere, Sami Zayn and Stephanie Vaquer urged WWE to upgrade September’s sold-out Chile house show into a premium live event, while Johnny Gargano revealed the passing of he and Candice LeRae’s dog after a long fight with seizures. The latest Wrestling Observer roundup also includes interviews with The Sandman, actor Nick Offerman’s wrestling research for an Apple TV role, and multiple WWE scheduling and roster updates.

Andrew Yang: WWE Stars Should Be SAG‑AFTRA Members, Echoing Kevin Nash
Andrew Yang weighed in after Kevin Nash suggested on his Kliq This podcast that WWE performers should consider joining SAG‑AFTRA amid reports WWE/TKO has asked some talent to accept pay cuts. Responding to a Cultaholic post, Yang wrote, “Nash is right — WWE wrestlers participate in highly-rated scripted programming every week. They should be SAG-AFTRA members already.”
Yang has repeatedly criticized WWE’s treatment of talent and the company’s classification of wrestlers as independent contractors, pointing to past disputes like the 2020 Twitch policy that briefly saw Zelina Vega leave the company. He also took aim at recent creative decisions, arguing earlier this year that increased celebrity involvement at WrestleMania and corporate priorities have sidelined the core wrestling performers.

Violent J: JCW aiming to expand beyond Juggalos, pursue “new goal”
Violent J told The Bryan and Vinny Show that Juggalo Championship Wrestling is “hungry for a new goal,” with plans to broaden its appeal beyond ICP’s fanbase and compete with other indy promotions. He said JCW is getting serious about being taken seriously in the wrestling world, mixing tongue‑in‑cheek entertainment with legitimate in‑ring variety so the product can attract general wrestling fans, not just Juggalos.
JCW will continue to lean into its over‑the‑top roots while adding diverse wrestling styles to reach a wider audience; Violent J emphasized he wants “a little bit of everything” so every fan sees something they enjoy. Episodes of JCW Lunacy air Thursdays on the Psychopathic Records YouTube channel, and the promotion recently posted the full StrangleMania show from WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas.
