Zilla Fatu wants to continue the cycle.
Zilla Fatu, the son of Umaga, is the latest member of The Bloodline to join the wrestling world. He has been gaining buzz on the independent scene in recent months. Meanwhile, Roman Reigns, The Usos, Solo Sikoa, and new additions Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa have kept The Bloodline in the spotlight in WWE.
In an interview with Joey Franchize, Zilla Fatu was asked to comment on what being part of the real-life Bloodline felt like.
"It feels good, Uce. It feels good. I’m happy. I feel like we all deserve it because I got people that came before us. The people that came before me, you gotta give them their flowers, like Afa and Sika, like Snuka and The Rock and Peter Maivia. Those guys really started this foundation for our family. Then obviously The Rock, Rikishi, my uncle, [Yokozuna], they all took it to a whole nother level. Then you got Roman [Reigns], The Usos, The Bloodline, they taking it to a whole nother level. So it’s really a family business, for real, and I’m just so happy and blessed to be a part of this. I’m coming up too. Like I said, I’m on the indies, but I’m not in no rush," Fatu said.
Fatu was then asked whether he had a preference between going to WWE or AEW. He pointed to WWE and highlighted the history his family has with the company. Fatu stated that he did not want to break that cycle.
“WWE, uce. That’s the main one. Like I said, back to what I was saying with my family, my family got a long history with WWE. So at the same time, I don’t want to be the first Fatu or Anoaʻi to go to AEW. I don’t want to break that cycle. But it just gotta make sense because everybody’s journey is different. My journey’s different. My story’s way different from Solo’s, from The Usos’, from Roman and Jacob [Fatu]. So my story, I got a whole nother chapter. I’m sitting on a whole nother side of the table [laughs]," Fatu said.
Zilla Fatu previously pitched the idea of him and Jacob Fatu joining Jey Uso on WWE Raw. Check out his comments here.
Zilla recently reconciled with Booker T and returned to Reality of Wrestling. More information is available here.
