New Bloodline Member In WWE All But Confirmed
A wrestler with close ties to WWE’s Bloodline is ready to sign with the company, if it hasn’t happened already.
The Bloodline stable in WWE currently consists of the World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, King of the Ring finalist Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Jacob Fatu.
While the four men are babyfaces at this point and not running roughshod on WWE like the original Bloodline from August 2020 to April 2024, they are still a cohesive unit that a lot of other wrestlers complain about all the time.
LA Knight is currently in a storyline where he’s obsessed with The Bloodline due to his long history with the group. On the June 26th edition of WWE SmackDown, former Bloodline member Solo Sikoa, who is the younger brother of The Usos, made it clear that he hates The Bloodline, and especially Reigns. Solo wanted to work with Knight against them, but Knight isn’t interested.
A new report suggests The Bloodline could get stronger very soon. Fightful Select reports that Zilla Fatu, who is the 26-year-old son of the late, great Umaga (Eddie Fatu), is expected to sign with WWE, although it’s possible that the signing has already happened.
Fightful noted that “Zilla was at the WWE Performance Center recently and was going through some processes to prepare for the signing.”
Zilla Fatu started wrestling in 2023 and was trained by WWE Hall of Famer Booker T at his Reality of Wrestling school. For the past four years, Zilla has been wrestling on the independent scene for promotions like House of Glory, Reality of Wrestling, and others.
Umaga was the younger brother of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi and The Tonga Kid, which means Zilla is a first cousin of Rikishi’s sons Jimmy & Jey Uso, and Solo Sikoa, along with Tonga Kid’s son Jacob Fatu. Roman Reigns is a first cousin of Umaga.
The AEW World Champion, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, even reacted to the Zilla Fatu-WWE signing news by writing on X: “You’re welcome, dork.” MJF successfully defended the AEW World Title against Zilla at a House of Glory show in February 2026.
You’re welcome kid.

It’s not yet known if Zilla will debut in NXT before he goes to the WWE main roster with The Bloodline. Solo Sikoa wrestled in NXT for about a year before he was on the main roster, but Jacob Fatu did not wrestle in NXT before joining the main roster.
Zill Fatu Was Determined To Join WWE, Not AEW
In a May 2026 interview, Zilla Fatu made it clear he wanted to become a WWE superstar.
No. I think my heart is with the E right now. So I’m not gonna break that cycle [because it’s where his family is]. And then not only that, I got unfinished business as far as my dad’s legacy to fulfill. So that’s why. I want to go over there and turn that sh*t up, and at the same time, build my own brand.”
Zilla’s father, Umaga, tragically passed away in December 2009 at the age of 36. It is well known that Umaga played a big role in The Usos becoming wrestlers. While Umaga is not in the WWE Hall of Fame yet, he is constantly referenced whenever The Usos, Solo or Jacob do the running hip attack against the turnbuckle, which is a move that Umaga did very well for many years.
