The beginning of a pro wrestler’s career is usually an exciting part. That is the point in a new wrestler’s career that would etch itself as a mesmerizing memory even if they become a legend in the future. Another cousin of Roman Reigns had been under training for a while. And now, it appears that the world will be seeing a new ‘Uce’ in the making.

Zilla Fatu has been appearing in front of the public for a while now. The young wrestler probably has been trying to get himself acquainted with the audience before he made a big debut. Now that his motive was complete and his training was enough to let him climb the stage, Fatu made his wrestling debut in ‘Reality of Wrestling’.

Is it the end of Roman Reigns’ ‘reign’?

Before trying bigger companies like WWE, Fatu decided to build himself up from scratch. So, he started with Booker T‘s, wrestling school and promotion, ‘RoW’. Umaga‘s son trained himself before appearing in front of the public. After polishing his skills enough, Fatu made his debut only recently.

However, long before this official appearance, the wrestler had already started planning his future in WWE.

In an interview three months ago with ‘MuscleManMalcolm’, Fatu revealed his ambition for being in the wrestling industry. Although his father wanted a different future for him, Fatu was drawn toward the industry because of the success his family attained.

In the same interview, he also revealed that his ambition is to ultimately be a part of Reigns’ ‘Bloodline’. Moreover, he doesn’t want to feud with The Tribal Chief for his belt. Instead, he would be doing it for the ‘necklace’.

Now, after training in Booker T’s wrestling school, it looks like Fatu has embarked on his journey to end his cousin’s reign in WWE.

Since Fatu’s debut was recent, the video of his official public appearance as a pro wrestler has been going viral. While the live audience erupted with excitement upon his entry, online fans are not missing out on the energy either.

How are fans welcoming Roman Reigns’ cousin?

The internet is fairly welcoming toward Zilla Fatu. As the young wrestler made his entry, it made people appreciate his style and musical taste. While some of them are obsessing over the theme music, other fans are wishing Fatu the best for his future. Some fans are even making fun of the fact that the wrestling industry sees a new Samoan wrestler every once in a while.

Fans are already getting a hold of Fatu’s theme music. According to one fan, the music is ‘Can’t Be Stopped’, which is connecting Fatu with a lot of audiences as they can feel his confidence and character through the song.

Here are a few mentions of Zilla Fatu’s father, Umaga. Like several other members of the Anoa’i family, Umaga was also a wrestler who won fans’ hearts during and even after his tenure in the wrestling industry. And it looks like fans have similar expectations from his son.
