During a recent appearance on the “Club 520” podcast, Jacob Fatu praised IShowSpeed for the way he took Bron Breakker’s spear during the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match.

Fatu jokingly added that Travis Scott should experience one himself, referencing the rapper’s controversial slap to Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber: Toronto. Fatu said,

“Shout out to Speed. Bro did a back flip and went like this [celebrating] and got his ass tore down, for real. Travis Scott, man, his a*s should get speared too. I’m gonna spear your a*s. It wasn’t even a punch [to Cody Rhodes], he hit him with a [straight palm], you know what I mean? Nah, but Bron Breaker murdered [Speed] though. [Breakker] different. They asked him at ComicCon, my cousin Jey Uso, they said, ‘Hey, who spears harder?’ I mean, he took out Jey this past Monday, took him and Roman out.”
