In a moment that sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe, Zilla Fatu was spotted backstage at WWE SmackDown, sharing an intense and seemingly strategic meeting with his real-life cousin Jacob Fatu and fellow Samoan powerhouse Tama Tonga. The encounter took place just moments before the show aired live, fueling speculation about the future of the Bloodline storyline and a possible new chapter for WWE’s dominant Samoan dynasty.
Zilla Fatu, the son of the late Umaga and a member of the legendary Anoa’i family, has been a rising name in the independent wrestling scene. Though he has not yet signed officially with WWE, his presence backstage alongside his cousins hints at something big in the works. Jacob Fatu, who recently made a thunderous debut on WWE programming, has already established himself as a dangerous force aligned with Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga. His brutal in-ring style and menacing persona have made him a standout addition to the current Bloodline narrative.
Tama Tonga, a former NJPW star and another proud member of the Anoa’i family, has been making waves since aligning with the new faction of the Bloodline. The trio has been presenting themselves as the “real ones” of the family, seemingly rejecting Roman Reigns’ leadership and carving their own path of destruction. The addition of Zilla Fatu to this group could mark a dramatic shift in WWE’s most iconic storyline.
Backstage sources noted that the meeting between the three men was not just a casual family reunion. It reportedly lasted over 20 minutes and was held behind closed doors in one of the private dressing rooms, with WWE officials closely monitoring the discussion. While no official statements have been released by WWE, those present backstage said the vibe was electric, as if a new alliance or debut was being prepared.
Fans have taken to social media, speculating wildly about what this could mean. Many believe Zilla Fatu may be poised to make his WWE debut and join the new Bloodline faction as the group’s next enforcer or young gun. His connection to Umaga also brings emotional weight, potentially adding depth to the group’s mission of restoring honor and fear to the Samoan legacy in WWE.
If Zilla Fatu does debut soon, it could lead to an explosive family civil war within the Bloodline, especially as Roman Reigns is expected to return to WWE television soon. The seeds for a Bloodline vs. Bloodline storyline are already being planted, and the addition of a new generation star like Zilla could elevate it to new heights.
Only time will tell how this will unfold, but one thing is certain: the presence of Zilla Fatu backstage with Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga is no coincidence. WWE might be on the verge of ushering in a darker, more dangerous Bloodline — and the WWE Universe should be ready.
