Since Jacob Fatu made a seismic splash on a SmackDown episode in June, it looks like The Bloodline doesn’t need the firepower for additional damage. That said, one real-life Bloodline member who continues to make rounds among the fans as the next one in the queue to get into the Samoan family drama is the late Umaga’s son, Zilla Fatu. The 22-year-old wrestler first triggered the idea of his potential Bloodline debut by making a cryptic “See you soon” post dedicated to his former GCW tag teammate Jacob Fatu.

While eventually, the real Samoan blood has become quite invested in his indie endeavors and keeps on achieving new heights, an old Royal Rumble video of him and Jacob Fatu backstage gave us an early hint of whom side he might take upon a promised Bloodline kick-off.

Will Zilla Fatu take team Sikoa’s side after he signs up for The Bloodline? 

The Bloodline is cooking now more than ever. After Roman Reigns made a cinematic comeback at SummerSlam, Sikoa and his team had to pause their unbridled violent spree. The Original Tribal Chief took out his cousin with a pair of Superman Punch and a spear twice on TV, but on Raw last week, Tama Tonga made the safe for Sikoa and grabbed the Ula Fala for the latter.

It was understandable that the Big Dog needed a group of trusted allies to stand out in the complicated family feud. But in reality, Team Sikoa could again look to broaden their horizons.

A recently viral clip featured Jacob Fatu and Zilla Fatu enjoying their moments from the crowd at a WWE Royal Rumble event. The camaraderie and seamless bonding propelled us to imagine Zilla Fatu alongside Jacob Fatu once again in the WWE ring. WWE might not set them apart even in the storyline if the Main One joins in soon.

On the other side of the Universe, Fatu is broadening his professional horizon winning the first ever Championship title (HOG Crown Jewel title) in his life. The young talent is currently eyeing up a title defense at HOG Chicago against Mustafa Ali. He will be encouraged by the fact that Uncle Rikishi spurs him on relentlessly.

Rikishi puffs up his nephew Zilla Fatu’s recent achievements 

Rikishi might not be an active name inside the squared circle anymore, but he always keeps an eye on his successors in the division. Be it watching and analyzing the historical brother vs brother feud between his twins, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, weighing in on Roman Reigns’ current feud against his family, or hyping nephew Zilla Fatu up, the veteran Hall of Famer never fails to keep his eye off the prize.

While the esteemed Samoan superstar believes Zilla Fatu and his son Thamiko Fatu still need around a couple more years to be ready for WWE, he urged fans to watch and support Zilla’s recent blockbuster indie run. In an Instagram reel, Rikishi wrote, ”Follow my nephew @zillafatu’s Journey in his growth of the industry of pro wrestling. Continue to listen, learn, and ‘DO THE WORK,’ perfect the craft, and NEVER lose focus of what your PURPOSE is of why you started. Your dad’s blessings he’s always watching YOU and so will I. #Fatu #Anoai #Bloodline #Rikishi #Zilla #LongLiveSamoanBulldozer #EkiFatu”

The legend also noted how proud Umaga would be watching over his son’s incredible success from above. Now, it will be interesting to see when and how Fatu’s inevitable new Bloodline alliance hits and brings a new set of chaos to the family or not. But in either case, Zilla Fatu’s addition to the Samoan faction itself would be a major advancement in the storyline.
