Ahead of the Bloodline War Games Match, an update has been provided on Zilla Fatu potentially joining the WWE.
Since starting his pro wrestling career, Zilla Fatu has been linked to WWE because he is a member of the real-life Bloodline. Fatu, who is the son of Umaga, has become a standout for multiple independent wrestling promotions, including GCW and HOG.
Speaking on his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi was asked whether Zilla Fatu was ready to join WWE. He answered:
“As an uncle, I think there’s a lot more potential that Zilla has to bring to the table for himself.”
“The kid, I don’t think he’s reached his best potential yet, hasn’t found his extra talent that he can bring to the ring.”
“The only way to find that is to stay consistent out there on the independent circuit. You gotta keep doing it. You don’t learn this stuff overnight.”
On Zilla learning the more time he’s on the independent scene, Rikishi said:
“While he’s out there, he’s staying busy. We’ll see though, I’ll see the growth of Zilla. He texts me, we keep in touch and so forth, and I only give my advice when asked. I like to let the boys kind of find themselves and find out for themself. They’re grown young adults, they’re not kids.”
“So he’ll be able to find it, and I think he’s got a lot more to find about himself in the squared circle. He’s charismatic, he’s in good shape, and so we’ll see. You can’t be good in the ring and not be just as good outside the ring.”
“So you gotta be able to control both of those and have hands on it. I don’t know who surrounds my nephew when he’s on his own on the independent circuit, but that can play another factor too. Hopefully he stays consistent at Booker’s school [Reality of Wrestling].”
“If you don’t learn anything from Booker, then you’re not listening. So let’s see. Let’s pray that Zilla gets it and he understands his purpose.”
“When I [saw] him last, I told him that this wrestling thing is bigger than you, it’s bigger than me. It’s what you do with the platform while you’re in this game. So we’ll see,”
The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa will face CM Punk and The OG Bloodline’s Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn and The Usos in the Men’s War Games Match this Saturday, November 30 at WWE Survivor Series.
