At WWE Backlash 2026, held on May 10 at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Roman Reigns defeated Jacob Fatu in the main event to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. The match was the culmination of a storyline where Reigns had questioned Fatu's stability, leading to a heated confrontation.
Reigns secured the victory after a hard-fought battle, countering Fatu's signature moves with a spear and a Superman punch. The win extends Reigns's historic title reign, which began at WWE Payback in 2020.
The event also featured other matches, including a women's title match and a tag team bout, but the main event was the focal point of the night. WWE has not yet announced the next challenger for Reigns's title.
