An update has emerged on Zilla Fatu potentially making his WWE debut, with Fatu seeking revenge on a current star.
At Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling in December 2025, Danny Limelight defended his ROW Heavyweight Championship against Ryan Davidson, Will Allday and Zilla Fatu.
With Fatu close to winning the match, he would be attacked by a hooded figure who would be revealed as WWE NXT’s Ricky Saints.
While Fatu has yet to get his hands on Saints, the son of the late Umaga has teased the possibility of that happening on NXT.
During a recent interview with Denise Salcedo, Zilla Fatu stated he plans to get his revenge on Saints in NXT, although it could happen somewhere else first, saying:
“You guys will catch me on NXT getting my get back on Ricky Skanks, but first, you never know.
“I might catch him at a Walmart, I might catch him at Waffle House, I might catch him at Whataburger.
“You never know, because if I catch him before then, he’s not going to make it to NXT.”

Zilla Fatu, who made his wrestling debut in 2023, has previously stated he has “a long way to go” before he joins WWE, and would also share his thoughts on his family’s multi-generational success in the company, saying:
“Our family has been with the business since day one, and for each and every year, for somebody in our family to take the perception of our family to the next level, that just means the world to me.
“There’s so many people within our bloodline that added their own impact on the game. Now it’s up to me on how I can separate myself from that. That’s one of my challenges right now, just trying to separate Zilla Fatu from the Samoan Dynasty and making my own impact on the game. But I’m not in no rush, because you know what they say, you can’t rush greatness.”
