Zilla Fatu, the son of WWE star Umaga, has been in the spotlight for months now, with speculations that he has signed with the company.
The fourth-generation professional wrestler worked under WWE Hall of Famer Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling and Game Changer Wrestling. Being part of WWE royalty, he is rumored to be among the next line of The Bloodline members.
Speaking to the Busted Open Radio team, he revealed who he’d pick as his Tribal Chief between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa if he had to choose.

Speaking to Tommy Dreamer, Thunder Rosa and Dave LaGreca, Fatu said: “I might have to go with, Imma break it down why I have to go with him, but Imma have to go with Team OTC baby, Roman Reigns.”
He explained why he wouldn’t side with Sikoa. Fatu said: “For him to you know, try and take my dad’s move or whatever, I don’t like it, so I’m going with Roman Reigns. Whatever he needs, I’m there.”

Fatu’s father made the Samoan Spike his finishing move, which laid waste to the WWE roster during his run. Fatu uses a modified version of it along with Reigns’ Superman Punch. He also mentioned that Reigns checks on him every day when compared to Sikoa.
The young star has been seen with his former tag team partner Jacob Fatu and has teased a number of times on social media that he’s signed with WWE.

When asked about his wrestling journey, Fatu said: “I’m really happy I started wrestling because it brought me closer to who my dad was. That’s why this journey is so emotional to me, that’s why I’m not in any rush to get anywhere. I think every day I get in the ring, I get emotional because I tap into who my dad was.”
“It’s not a story, it’s one of the chapters in my life to make sure my dad’s legacy lives up to the expectations that everybody holds me to. That’s what I’m doing now and I’m excited.”
Fatu is currently a three-promotion champion. He holds the ROH Championship, House of Glory Crown Jewel Championship and is the Fourth Rope Heavyweight Champion.
Much like Jacob, fans have loved his work on the indie circuit and believe he is destined to be the next in the new wave of Bloodline members.
