Who is Zilla Fatu’s father?

Zilla Fatu is the son of the late great Umaga. Born on September 9, 1999, he is from Houston, Texas, and was trained by Hall of Famer Booker T. The 26-year-old star is a third-generation wrestler and the nephew of The Wild Samoans, Afa and Sika.

This makes him part of the legendary Samoan family and connects him to The Bloodline in WWE.

Zilla Fatu connection with Roman Reigns & other WWE Bloodline members

Being part of the Samoan family automatically establishes a real-life connection between Zilla Fatu and the other members of The Bloodline. Fatu is the cousin of Jacob Fatu, The Usos, and Roman Reigns.

Additionally, he is also the cousin of Jeremiah Peniata Fatu and Lance Anoa’i, who are yet to arrive in the Stamford-based promotion.

Before making his arrival in the Triple H-led promotion, Fatu was part of Reality of Wrestling and Game Changer Wrestling. During his run in GCW, he teamed up with the Samoan Werewolf multiple times, and they also locked horns in tag team matches.

This means that Jacob already has a great connection with the newly debuted member of the Samoan family.

Why didn’t Zilla Fatu join The Bloodline? Possible future

Despite being a real-life Bloodline member, Zilla Fatu made his WWE debut in NXT instead of directly joining the Roman Reigns-led faction on the main roster. However, this doesn’t rule out the possibility that he could become part of the family in the near future.

For those unaware, the NXT star has already acknowledged The Head of the Table as the Tribal Chief when the 26-year-old star attended an episode of RAW and acknowledged the Bloodline leader.

Additionally, Zilla Fatu has reacted to all the major developments in The Bloodline Saga online, showing that he is well aware of the storyline’s progress.

All of this subtly suggests that Fatu could eventually join the family storyline in the near future. His NXT debut could be a step toward polishing him as a main-roster talent and testing the waters before putting him into a high-profile storyline.

For now, it remains to be seen what happens with Zilla Fatu as he sets his sights on the WWE NXT Championship
