A real-life member of The Bloodline shared that his ultimate goal was to join WWE.
The Anoa’i family and its various extensions have become one of the most dominant wrestling families not only in the Stamford-based promotion, but in the wrestling industry as a whole. With many members of the family still outside WWE, Zilla Fatu, son of the late Umaga, recently expressed his ultimate goal of joining World Wrestling Entertainment during an interview with Chris Van Vliet on Insight.
When Van Vliet mentioned that Fatu would likely be on the promotion’s radar, Fatu expressed hope that that was true.
An excerpt of their conversation is as follows:
[Van Vliet]: A lot of your family is in WWE now. Is the goal to join your family in WWE?
[Fatu]: Yes. That’s so obvious. Yes. I would love to.
[Van Vliet]: I’m sure you’re on WWE’s radar.
[Fatu]: I hope I am, man.”

Zilla Fatu has been a regular on the independent scene and was previously in a tag team with Jacob Fatu. He recently made his TNA debut at their Slammiversary event.
Zilla Fatu Recently Had A Spat With A WWE Hall Of Famer
While his TNA debut was a joyous occasion for the Anoa’i family member, it was short-lived, as he was called out by Rikishi on a podcast soon after his appearance.
The WWE Hall of Famer commented on the face paint Fatu had worn for his match, calling it excessive and saying it looked similar to Jeff Hardy’s face paint. Not one to take this lying down, Fatu fired back at his uncle via a tweet, saying that they could have solved the matter privately rather than making it a public affair. However, the youngster deleted the tweet shortly after posting it.
The spat, in turn, got worse when Zilla Fatu’s mother posted a response to the whole situation on her TikTok stream, accusing Rikishi of turning his back on Umaga’s family and how it was Umaga who helped Jimmy and Jey Uso get developmental deals with WWE.
