"It’s gonna be me fighting for the necklace" - Umaga's son is preparing for a possible WWE storyline to join The Bloodline
The Anoa'i family has brought some of the most legendary names in WWE, and Umaga's son, Zilla Fatu, is the latest Samoan to be eyeing a spot in the company's most popular faction, The Bloodline.
The 22-year-old is currently training at Booker T's school and preparing to enter the wrestling world, hoping to join his cousins in WWE one day. When asked whether he's thought about The Bloodline during a recent interview, Zilla Fatu said he already had a storyline in mind for when his time comes.
Zilla stated that he wouldn't be going after Roman Reigns' titles but envisions a scenario where he is fighting for the "Ula Fala" necklace and the "birthright of the table." Umaga's son is convinced about his capabilities to be a Bloodline member and is mentally ready for what sounds like a promising WWE angle.
"I did (think about how I'd like to enter The Bloodline storyline). I just don't wanna…But I'll give y'all a little bit. It would just basically be me coming after the birthright of the table," said Zilla on The Be Someone podcast. "Does that makes sense? It's not gonna be me fighting for the belt. It's gonna be me fighting for the necklace. It's more to it, though (he laughed). Stay tuned, stay tuned. But yeah, it's just gonna be the birthright. Me coming in, and yeah!" [H/T POST Wrestling]
Zilla Fatu also spoke about another fellow Anoa'i family with whom he could partner and join The Bloodline at the same time. You can read more on that right here.
What did Zilla Fatu say about The Bloodline's recent WWE Backlash match?
Backlash was a resounding success as WWE held its first PLE in years in Puerto Rico. While most fans were awestruck by Bad Bunny and Damian Priest's chaotic Street Fight, with some even calling it the match of the night, Zilla Fatu felt his family members had the best bout on the show.
As seen at the event, Solo Sikoa and The Usos took on the babyface team of Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Matt Riddle. Despite the apparent issues between The Bloodline, the Samoan faction somehow got the victory at the end of the 22-minute contest.
Zilla Fatu supported Solo and The Usos and claimed, in an interesting tweet, that The Bloodline had the best match at Backlash 2023 from "every standpoint of pure professional wrestling."
