WWE
After Lexis King was forced to relinquish his WWE Speed Championship, he and the rest of Birthright have since found a new target.
The group confronted Zilla Fatu last week on NXT, attempting to recruit the son of Umaga to their ranks, which he initially rejected.
With Birthright looking to expand it’s numbers, there are plenty of other options for new members of the group.
Here are some more WWE NXT stars we could see join Birthright.
Zilla Fatu
On tonight’s WWE NXT show, Zilla Fatu is set to face off against Charlie Dempsey of Birthright at the behest of Charlie’s father William Regal.
While the obvious play right now is for Zilla to reject the chance to join Birthright, we may eventually see a swerve that sees Zilla link up with the group, potentially at the expense of another member being removed from the lineup.
It seems inevitable that Zilla’s main roster future will be part of a wrestling lineage based group, so adding him to Birthright could get him some experience in that role.
Jacob Henry
Jacob Henry, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry, is currently signed to a WWE NIL contract.
One thing currently missing from the lineup of the group is a muscle, which would obviously make the son of the World’s Strongest Man the perfect fit.
D’Lo Brown has previously spoken about how Jacob will go on to be ‘Mark Henry 2.0’, even claiming he is stronger at his age than even Mark Henry was!
Marie Malenko (Kenzie)
Lacey Simon (Marie Malenko) was confirmed as a new WWE Performance Center signee alongside Mason Rook, Reina Volcan & Marcus Brown
Arianna Grace is the only female member of the Birthright group on NXT television right now, and even then she serves primarily as a manager role for Stacks and the rest of the group.
WWE recently announced the signing of Marie Malenko, the daughter of Dean Malenko, who was reportedly recently given the new ring name of ‘Kenzie’, implying that her debut on NXT television will be coming soon.
If WWE wants to add more women to the group to help Birthright get a stronger foothold on both divisions, she would make for the perfect addition.
Brooks Jensen
Brooks Jensen was previously aligned with Birthright’s Lexis King, Channing Lorenzo and Charlie Dempsey as a part of the group of NXT stars who invaded TNA
Brooks Jensen has been part of the NXT roster since the very first episode of NXT 2.0 back in September 2021.
While many stars from that roster have either been called up or left the company, Brooks remains with NXT, primarily spending his time in Evolve.
However, the fact that Brooks remains part of NXT clearly means he is at least somewhat valued, it’s just about finding the perfect role for him.
The son of Bull Buchanan would also add a lot of depth to the ranks of Birthright.
