New WWE Signing Gets First Merchandise Drop

WWE

A WWE star has received their first official merchandise drop since recently debuting on NXT and making their presence felt.

The August 11 episode of WWE NXT saw a new Bloodline family member debut, this time in the form of Zilla Fatu, who levelled Grayson Waller and Cruz Montana, before engaging NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo in a tense staredown.

With Fatu under WWE contract, it perhaps is expected that official merchandise would be released for the new star, and that is very much the case.

A new WWE Shop listing reveals that a Zilla Fatu T-shirt is now available to pre-order, bearing a stylized version of the stars name.

The T-shirt can be ordered right now and “ships on or before Wednesday, September 23, 2026”.

Available in sizes from S to 5XL, the T-shirt is only available in black, with the listing description reading:

“Has another future Bloodline member arrived at the Black & Gold brand?

“Zilla Fatu steps into the NXT spotlight, and this T-Shirt lets fans mark the moment before the bell even rings. The bold, weathered graphic commands the chest with tribal-inspired detailing, while the NXT mark on the back keeps the brand front and center for debut night.

“Built in a classic fit with room to move and a ribbed collar for lasting shape retention, this one’s made to be worn from the entrance ramp to the front row. Grab it now and be ready to rep Zilla Fatu as his next chapter kicks off.”

The star would share the merch drop in a post on his own Twitter account, simply captioned: “HELLLOO!!!”, with Jacob Fatu also sharing it with a drop of blood emoji.

Fatu’s debut in NXT would see him issue a warning to the members of the roster, noting that “there’s a new sheriff in town”.

Another Bloodline Member In WWE

The son of Umaga, Zilla Fatu joins a number of Bloodline family members currently signed to the WWE roster.

Following in the footsteps of Solo Sikoa, who signed with WWE in August 2021, Fatu starts his journey in NXT, with every chance that a championship will be in his hands in due course. For Sikoa, he held the NXT North American Championship, going on to a main roster call up in September of the following year.

It isn’t beyond the realm of possibility that Fatu could have a short stay in NXT, using that time to hone his skills into what WWE needs from former independent wrestling stars when it comes to TV presentation.

Former WWE star Joe Gacy, now known as Joseph Sawyer on the independent wrestling scene, has given an insight into the challenges of television, calling it a “rude awakening” when he realized how underprepared he was for elements such as “hitting times, hitting break spots” and the other things that go into the broadcast product.

There’s clearly faith that Fatu can pick up these skills, with NXT providing a perfect opportunity bring him to a level that makes his ready to join the rest of his family on the main roster.
