With Zilla Fatu now beginning his WWE journey, attention will naturally turn toward other members of the family who remain outside the promotion. The Bloodline story has always been built around family, and WWE has no shortage of talented Anoa’i and Fatu relatives who could eventually become part of the promotion.
That said, here are five real-life Bloodline stars WWE could sign after Zilla Fatu.
#5. Sean Maluta
The nephew of WWE Hall of Famer Afa, Sean Maluta has already competed under the WWE banner. For those unaware, he participated in the original Cruiserweight Classic and has made several appearances for the company over the years. Maluta has also worked for other major promotions, including AEW and TNA, giving him experience beyond the WWE system.
While he may not be the most obvious choice to become a centerpiece of The Bloodline, Maluta could still be useful to WWE because of his experience and family connection.
Additionally, his previous experience in WWE history means he would not be starting from scratch. More importantly, the promotion could tap him as part of a larger storyline involving the Anoa’i family without necessarily forcing him into the same character mold as The OTC Roman Reigns, Jacob Fatu, or Zilla Fatu.
#4. Damu Anoa’i
Damu Anoa’I is another family member who could eventually become part of WWE’s expanding Samoan dynasty.
He is the nephew of WWE Legend, Yokozuna and has been working on the indie circuit, continuing to develop his wrestling career. While he may lack the same mainstream recognition as Roman Reigns, The Usos, Jacob Fatu, or Zilla Fatu, his family connection alone makes him a name worth watching.
Damu also found himself in the headlines earlier this year after discussing CM Punk’s comments about Roman Reigns and the Anoa’i family. The interview was significant as it showed that he has no problems stepping into the conversation surrounding one of wrestling’s most famous families. If WWE ever decides to expand The Bloodline story again, having one more Anoa’i family member available could provide the promotion with another option.
Further, Damu would also bring something different to the table. Instead of immediately being presented as another established Bloodline member, WWE could allow him to build his own reputation in NXT before deciding whether he belongs in the larger family narrative.
#3. Lance Anoa’i already has history with Zilla Fatu
Lance Anoa’i is perhaps the most intriguing name on this list, as WWE has already given him an opportunity. He signed with the company in 2024 and was assigned to NXT. Unfortunately, his WWE run never reached the stage of an official match. He departed the company in October the following year, explaining that injuries played a major factor in his release.
Interestingly, Lance crossed paths with Zilla Fatu outside WWE. The two family members were booked to face each other at House of Glory’s Glory at the Globe event in May. That makes Lance particularly interesting now that Zilla Fatu has officially arrived in WWE.
His WWE return could give the promotion a ready-made storyline. Both already have a history in the indies, and WWE could use that to build a rivalry if they eventually find themselves in the same promotion.
#2. Journey Fatu
The younger brother of Jacob Fatu, Journey Fatu comes from one of the most recognizable branches of the Anoa’i family. While Jacob has already established himself as one of WWE’s most destructive Superstars, Journey has continued developing his own career on the indie scene.
He has remained active in 2026, with appearances for promotions like Oasis Pro Wrestling and Rival Pro Wrestling. This continued activity means he is still gaining valuable experience rather than simply relying on his family name.
Journey has also previously addressed the possibility of joining WWE. When asked about it, he stated that he was willing to wait for the right opportunity to arise.
With Zilla Fatu now with WWE, and his brother Jacob already playing a major role in The Bloodline saga, bringing him into the company could create another interesting family dynamic.
#1. Thamiko Fatu is another real-life Bloodline member
Another name WWE could have on their radar is Thamiko Fatu, the son of WWE Legend Rikishi.
Thamiko has also been building his wrestling career on the indie circuit, making his pro debut in 2023. His official website describes him as having drawn significant attention for his explosive in-ring style, and he has continued to work consistently as he develops his identity away from his famous father.
Back in June, he defeated Devantes to become the Gremlin House Wrestling World Champion. He has also appeared in other indie matches throughout the year, including a triple threat clash against Tommy Invincible and Juicy Finau.
Such accomplishments make him an interesting candidate for WWE. There is no denying that his family ties are the biggest advantage. He is the brother of Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Solo Sikoa, which could lead WWE to create a separate branch of the Bloodline story around him.
