Speaking on The No-Contest Wrestling Podcast, Fatu dismissed claims Reigns will retain because the bout is the champion's first world heavyweight title defence after WrestleMania.
He argued fans assuming the booking outcome are wrong and said viewers would still tune in despite online complaints about the match.
Fatu also framed the contest as an unexpected rise for him, saying few expected him to main-event a premium live event against Reigns so soon after WrestleMania.
