A top TNA Wrestling star has been pushing for a Bloodline family member within the company, as revealed by Tommy Dreamer.
Zilla has established himself as a promising prospect on the independent scene since his in-ring debut in July 2023, leading to speculation that he’ll eventually join WWE.
Speaking with Zilla on Busted Open, Tommy Dreamer praised the son of Umaga, revealing that TNA X-Division Champion Moose has been pushing for him in TNA Wrestling:
“I’ve seen a lot of people talk about you. Not just because of your father, but because ‘this guy has the talent, by the way, he’s Umaga’s son.’ That’s the family part of the industry, which I now understand that you are understanding that love.
“Beyond the fans, we talk about a brotherhood. Your father was a brother to a lot of men and women. He was awesome. Your attitude is great and I feel, and most of us feel in the industry, you will have success.
“I have Moose pushing for you all the time. I’m like, ‘I know who he is. You don’t need to push for him. If there is a position or spot.’ Moose didn’t know you, but he was like, ‘This guy is really good.’ Then, when he said your name, I was like, ‘Yeah, I know who he is.’
“This is how we get into the industry. It has nothing to do with nepotism, it all has to do with talent. It’s so natural for you because, your father was so gifted and talented.
“Jacob (Fatu) is up there as well, but for your dad’s size and what he could do, was next level. I wrestled him at least 30 times. You have a whole bunch of people pushing for you because you’re you.”
Rikishi recently shared an update on the possibility of his nephew Zilla joining WWE, which you can read more about right here.
