Another member of the Anoa’i wrestling dynasty appears to be headed to WWE.
According to a report from Fightful Select, WWE is planning to sign Zilla Fatu, if the deal has not already been finalized. The report notes that Fatu was recently at the WWE Performance Center, where he was reportedly completing steps related to the signing process.
The 26-year-old is the son of the late Umaga and has built a name for himself on the independent wrestling scene. While WWE’s interest in Fatu has been the subject of speculation for some time, the company’s push to bring him in developed more recently. He has been a regular performer for House of Glory and Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling promotion.
If the signing is completed, Zilla Fatu will become the latest member of the legendary Bloodline family to join WWE. The company already has several members of the famous wrestling family under contract, including Roman Reigns, Jacob Fatu, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Solo Sikoa.
Adding Zilla Fatu would further strengthen WWE’s ties to one of professional wrestling’s most iconic families as the next generation of the Bloodline continues to grow.
