Pro-wrestling flows from blood to blood across the generations. With several classic wrestling families existing in the lore, we are very accustomed to seeing wrestlers passing the torch of their legacies to future generations. But Zilla Fatu, one of the most unsung Anoa’i family members, has yet to follow in the footsteps of his late father, WWE legend, Umaga. Despite being a regular act on Reality of Wrestling, the Stamford-based company hasn’t signed him yet. But that couldn’t stop fans from speculating about his future as the next Bloodline biggie.

Zilla Fatu looks back at the strongest bond he shared with his Samoan cousin

Among all the royal families in professional wrestling, the Anoa’i family has been at the helm of the WWE for decades. It has rarely failed at producing pure thrill and magic with its numerous captivating storylines. That said, the essence of Bloodline can further be enhanced with more prolific figures joining forces. Zilla Fatu has been the potential one to step up next in the villainous stable for a long. Where there’s still no official word or update on that, Fatu recently recollected his time with the Usos. In his Instagram feed, the youngest child of Umaga posted a photo with his cousin, the ex-Bloodline star, Jey Uso.

WWE Fans beam with the hope of Zilla Fattu joining The Bloodline WrestleMania 40

The late great Umaga won the Intercontinental Championship on two separate occasions during his celebrated WWE tenure. He was repackaged as a Samoan savage gimmick inside the Bloodline and scored an undefeated run for months. Ever since he signed off from the stable and as well as from life in 2009, it gave rise to a lifelong void in the Bloodline. Fans deem his younger son ideal to fill that void after these long years.

When Maven Huffman caught him for a brief interview, he mentioned that his dad must be very proud of him from the above. While Fatu came up with a humble reply that denoted he’s still a learner, fans already imagined him calling the shots at Bloodline. A few fans wrote, ‘New member of the Bloodline’ while others already envision a future bout between Solo Sikoa and Zilla Fatu in the Bloodline. They kept on hovering over the idea with comments like ‘‘Dream match: Zilla vs Solo”, ”Samoa Spike vs Samoa Spike, Zilla, and Solo tag team would be 🔥” etc.

Another fan thinks,” he is the next king at the head of the table”.

A few, on the other hand, start speculating on the idea of Fatu joining his cousins during WrestleMania nights next month. One of them wrote, ”Do yall want another spoiler? Or do you just want to watch mania in suspense 👀😀”
