WWE reportedly interested in another real-life Bloodline member; he was at SummerSlam
The Bloodline could grow very soon as Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa are setting up for a major war in WWE. A recent report has stated that the company is interested in signing another real-life Bloodline member.
Zilla Fatu is the son of the late Umaga, who was the brother of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi. He wants to make inroads in the wrestling industry and turn enough heads to become a top name like his other family members.
Zilla was present at SummerSlam on Saturday. He was spotted in the crowd and skipped GCW’s New Jersey show to attend the event. This made many speculate that the real-life Bloodline member may be heading to the Stamford-based wrestling promotion.
A recent report by Fightful Select seems to have shot down the rumors. According to the outlet, the Stamford-based promotion hasn’t signed Zilla Fatu yet. He missed GCW’s show due to travel delays and cancellations that prevented him from being on time.
The report also states that WWE has its eyes on the real-life Bloodline member, but he is still expected to appear in GCW shows. The rising family drama could lead to Zilla getting signed by Triple H soon.
Since WrestleMania XL, fans have already seen several new faces on the SmackDown brand. Most belong to the Anoa'i family, and adding another member could make things more interesting.
Roman Reigns returned to send shockwaves down Solo Sikoa's Bloodline at WWE SummerSlam
Cody Rhodes defended his Undisputed WWE Championship against Solo Sikoa on Saturday. The latter’s version of The Bloodline was present to help out its leader, but Roman Reigns’ return ended the heel’s dreams of becoming the new champion.
The Original Tribal Chief ran through Solo Sikoa and left him on the mat for Rhodes to take advantage and retain his title. It was a great way to bring back Reigns, who had been watching Solo grow from the sidelines since WrestleMania XL.
WWE will now look to build a new team for Roman Reigns, who will likely go to war with Solo Sikoa’s bootleg faction. Sami Zayn, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Paul Heyman could join The Original Tribal Chief in his war against Solo's faction, which has several new faces.
It would be a great way to keep him out of title contention for some time while allowing newer members of the company to grow around him.
