Zilla Fatu is officially part of WWE NXT, but this debut isn’t what many had expected for the son of Umaga and member of the Anoa’i wrestling family.
Many had predicted that Fatu would debut on the main roster as part of The Bloodline, especially with the faction returning to prominence in 2026.
This belief had been strengthened by Fatu saying in the past that he intended to join The Bloodline, with his debut being predicted for months by fans.
According to False Finish, WWE has never had plans for Fatu to debut as part of The Bloodline, with the plan always being for his debut to be in WWE NXT.
This does not rule out Fatu joining The Bloodline later on, as his cousin Solo Sikoa debuted in WWE NXT in 2021 and joined The Bloodline the following year.
Fatu has been wrestling for a couple of years and dropped House of Glory’s HOG Crown Jewel Championship just days before his WWE NXT debut.
