Real-life Bloodline member spotted in the crowd at SummerSlam; canceled event bookings to be at WWE show
A real-life member of The Bloodline was spotted in the crowd at WWE SummerSlam last night. Zilla Fatu had to cancel one of his bookings to be present at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
Fatu is the son of the late Umaga, who is the brother of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi. They are all part of the Anoa'i Family, which makes them real-life members of The Bloodline.
With Solo Sikoa in the main event, The Main One was in attendance to support his cousin. Several members of the WWE Universe uploaded photos and videos of him in the crowd at the Cleveland Browns Stadium.
Zilla Fatu arrived in Cleveland prior to SummerSlam and uploaded a picture of himself in the airport. While it's great to see him support The Bloodline, he had to cancel a show to see his family members perform in the second biggest WWE event of the year.
Fatu was advertised to appear at UPW Pro Wrestling's Summer Sizzler '24. He skipped on his debut for the promotion to attend SummerSlam.
Zilla Fatu doesn't want to break The Bloodline cycle in WWE
The real-life Bloodline still has a lot of members who are not signed with WWE. Zilla Fatu is one of them and he's not interested in breaking the cycle of Anoa'i Family members joining WWE. Fatu is only interested in signing with the Stamford-based company when the time is right and is not looking to join AEW.
"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]."
Zilla is currently wrestling on the independent circuit but mainly competes for Game Changer Wrestling. He's also the new HOG Crown Jewel Champion, winning the title late last month in New York.
