Zilla Fatu WWE Main Roster Debut Plans

WWE

It’s only a matter of time before Zilla Fatu rises from NXT to the main roster, joining multiple members of The Bloodline family.

Zilla Fatu made his debut on NXT during the August 11 episode and has gone on to compete in his first match as a WWE star, coming up short in a four-way match for the NXT Championship at Heatwave.

Recently turning down membership of BirthRight, Fatu as a main roster star was a topic referenced by Charlie Dempsey, who listed the members of The Bloodline on the main roster who are ahead of the recently signed family member.

With reports indicating that Fatu could be heading to the main roster in the near future, his official WWE roster profile suggests big things for the star,

As the end of 2026 approaches, there’s still time for Zilla Fatu to make that main roster debut:

Worlds Collide

The crossover show returns on September 26 with stars from Raw, SmackDown, NXT and AAA among those competing.

An ideal time for Zilla Fatu to be introduced to a broader WWE audience, the Chicago event could mark the first time the NXT star is seen with his family on screen.

Money In The Bank

October will determine the challengers for a men’s and women’s championship via the respective Money in the Bank matches.

It’s difficult to see a future that sees Zilla Fatu compete in this year’s ladder matches, although that doesn’t rule out involvement elsewhere on the show, particularly if The Bloodline was involved.

Crown Jewel

Taking place on November 7 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a debuting Zilla Fatu could cement himself as a game-changer for The Bloodline.

October 2021 saw Solo Sikoa debut in NXT, with the star making his main roster debut in September of the following year at Clash at the Castle in Glasgow, Scotland, going on to be The Bloodline’s enforcer.

A debut in Saudi Arabia for Fatu would see him move from NXT to the main roster far quicker than Sikoa, but potentially with the same impact.

Survivor Series: WarGames

November 28 marks the return of Survivor Series: WarGames, bringing with it the titular match stipulation.

With The Bloodline and Solo Sikoa seemingly at odds over recent weeks, fans may just see two sides of the same family once again at war in the steel structure.

Another instance where a debuting Zilla Fatu could make the difference: the question would revolve around which side of his family he sides with.

Wrestlepalooza

Announced for Perth, Australia and taking place on December 12, Wrestlepalooza is the last PLE (at the time of writing) on the 2026 schedule for WWE.

With a three-year partnership with the Western Australian Government through Tourism Western Australia, WWE will no doubt want to pull out all the stops for their first PLE under that arrangement and The Bloodline is likely to be a fundamental part of the planning process.

Again, given the schism between Sikoa and Reigns, there is an opportunity for Zilla Fatu to be the difference maker, even if he doesn’t bring the family together.

Another Option Exists, Of Course

Having a first WWE match is a moment for any star, but for Zilla Fatu to compete for the NXT Championship suggests that he is already being groomed for that main roster push.

Keeping him in NXT will no doubt build the anticipation for his Raw or SmackDown debut, but also gives him the opportunity to be the star he needs to be in an environment designed to deliver results.

Staying in NXT and going after the championship would be a worthy pursuit for the star, building his reputation through title reigns in the process.
