Real-life Bloodline member seemingly spoils potential WWE Bad Blood debut 

The Bloodline's original leader, Roman Reigns, is set to make his WWE in-ring return at Bad Blood this Saturday, marking his first match since WrestleMania in April. Ironically, he will team up with the man who beat him at the greatest spectacle in sports entertainment, Cody Rhodes.

This move had to be made by The Tribal Chief owing to his predicament, where he sees himself as the fallen member of The Bloodline. Solo Sikoa took his place during his absence. In June, Jacob Fatu joined the group. Now, Zilla Fatu has confirmed his whereabouts ahead of Bad Blood.

Taking to Instagram, Zilla Fatu informed fans that he will be in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday. However, he is going to be checking out another professional wrestling promotion — Deep South Wrestling:

"Flying into Atlanta tonight, let's see what this @deepsouthwrestling is about," wrote Zilla Fatu.

It has become The OTC's mission to fend off Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and the Tongans. But if more Samoans join The Street Champ, could the numbers game affect his success in the coming months?


Zilla Fatu urged fans to "stay tuned" when asked about a potential WWE debut, joining The Bloodline

WWE has already recruited another Tonga, Hikuleo, who is now part of NXT. Perhaps past and present members of The Bloodline will wage war later this year at Survivor Series: WarGames.

With that being a legitimate possibility, a new report has confirmed that that is indeed the direction the company has in mind. Does that mean Zilla Fatu will join the company sooner rather than later?

During an appearance on MuscleManMalcolm a few months ago, he was asked about signing with WWE. He admitted that there is a soft spot for the Stamford-based promotion because it is where his family is, but Fatu clarified that, ultimately, the story should make sense:

"That's where the family started. That's where the family's at. So I want a piece of the pie. You like that? I want a piece of the pie," Zilla said in response to whether WWE was the end goal. "But a little P.S. note on the side. It just has to make sense. [...] I'm not in no rush to get signed, or I'm not in no rush to get anywhere. I'm just trusting the process, learning from my coaches, and just believing in me and my team. Yeah, and I'm excited, and stay tuned. Stay tuned."

Do you see Zilla Fatu making his WWE debut at Bad Blood? Or will Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson return to side with The Bloodline? In either case, the company has high expectations to meet this Saturday.
