The Bloodline has dominated WWE for the past few years. With each passing day, the storyline and potential swerves become more intense. However, since the betrayal of Jimmy Uso of his brother Jey Uso at SummerSlam, fans have been craving for another Anoa’i member to even the odds. With speculation on the rise, it seems like there is more involving the story.

According to the latest developments, Zilla Fatu, son of the late Umaga, has parted ways with Booker T‘s ROW, making fans think on social media that a potential debut with WWE is on the horizon.

After beginning his training under the tutelage of WWE legend Booker T, fans expected the star to make a quick appearance in WWE. The talent was certainly there as he had an impressive showing during his debut when he used his father’s finisher, the Samoan spike, to put away his opponent. 

Unfortunately, it seems like the same equation between the two parties stands strong anymore. According to Wrestlelamia.co.uk, Fatu and ROW have parted ways.

You can check out the post below:

While the exact reasons behind the departure are unknown, a few fans believe that it’s due to Fatu’s attitude behind the scenes.

With his future in dilemma, fans have now chipped in on social media about the situation. Much of the conversation centered around whether he’d ever show up in WWE as a major threat to the bloodline.

Besides the 27-year-old, a few weeks back, another member of the Anoa’i lineage spoke about his potential appearance at WWE. Manu, who was a pro wrestler in the 2000s, fondly remembered for being a part of the group Legacy, spoke about the speculation of joining the Bloodline.

With so many moving pieces, fans have now shared their thoughts on social media.

This fan has called out the potentiality of Sikoa and Fatu joining forces in the WWE as a tag team. This stems from the fact that both these wrestlers have the same finisher.

Another comment explicitly criticized his actions for not being stable in the indie scene. The argument makes even more sense since rumors about his conduct have begun circulating.

On the contrary, one fan feels that a match with Sikoa would be the right thing to do. Fans have been clamoring for that match for months now and if it happens, it would have their money’s worth.

With NXT responsible for honing new talent, one fan feels NXT would polish him well and feels that would be the right move.

This fan feels that despite the reports, a bloodline union would help him in the future, giving the reference to Dominik Mysterio.
