WWE/Zilla Fatu Instagram
A WWE star attacked former Reality of Wrestling Champion Zilla Fatu at the promotion’s SubZero event in Texas City.
Taking place on Saturday, December 20, Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling hosted SubZero – their final live event of 2025.
A main event bout on the show featured Bloodline family member Zilla Fatu take on Ryan Davidson, Danny Limelight and Will Allday in a. four-way for the Reality of Wrestling World Title, currently held by Limelight.
In the match’s closing stages it appeared as if Fatu had the match, and his third ROW Championship in the bag, however, a hooded figure emerged from the crowd and put an end to Fatu’s attempt to deliver the Samoan Spike.
Hitting Fatu with a familiar looking Spear and costing Fatu the match, the masked figure eventually unmasked and revealed himself to be none other than former WWE NXT Champion Ricky Saints.
Saints, who recently turned heel on WWE TV by costing Je’Von Evans his NXT Title match with Oba Femi, would then pose with Limelight, who now closes out 2025 as ROW Champion.
In reaction to Saints’ interference, Fatu took to Twitter and issued a warning to “Absolute”:
RICKY RICKY RICKY….. Soon as a chapter closes , a NEW ONE BEGINS…
He would then respond to a clip of Saints’ interference and write:
DONT GET TOO COMFORTABLE
Fatu tagged WWE NXT in his initial tweet, potentially teasing the possibility of a crossover appearance – however, it’s unclear whether we will see Zilla on WWE TV after this attack.
This isn’t the first show that Fatu was attacked at this week, with the 26-year-old being targeted by his own cousin at House of Glory’s event in New York City on Friday – click here for full details.
