The addition of Zilla Fatu is intended to further bolster the ranks of Roman Reigns' reformed Bloodline. Reigns, who captured the World Heavyweight Championship from CM Punk at WrestleMania 42 has been actively working to re-establish the faction's dominance. With Jacob Fatu and The Usos by his side, the Tribal Chief is off to a great start, but it doesn't appear he's done there.
Recent weeks have seen Roman Reigns dispatch Jacob Fatu to SmackDown with the objective of recruiting Solo Sikoa back into The Bloodline. This move comes as The Usos have officially split off from Sikoa, potentially creating an opening for the former enforcer to reunite with the family.
According to reports, WWE is expected to sign Zilla Fatu, if he has not already done so. The current House of Glory Crown Jewel Champion was recently seen at the WWE Performance Center, going through the process in preparation for signing with the company. Fatu is the son of WWE Legend Umaga. Earlier this year, he competed against MJF for the AEW World Championship at a House of Glory event.
Given the current prominence of The Bloodline storyline, it is considered unlikely that Zilla Fatu would begin his WWE tenure in NXT, as the company reportedly aims to involve him in the ongoing narrative swiftly. The timeline for his potential debut hinges on the speed of his signing and WWE's immediate plans. Fatu has mainly worked in the United States over the last couple of years, with the exception of a match in Mexico for Crash Wrestling back in May. It appears unlikely he has a work visa to appear at an overseas event this weekend. However, WWE's overseas tour ends this weekend as the company returns to the United States this Monday for a double taping of Raw and SmackDown in New Jersey. Depending on how quickly the company wants to act, if Zilla Fatu has already been signed, he could be interjected into the Bloodline story as soon as next week.
