Zilla Fatu has made his choice about which side he’s on in the Bloodline Civil War.
Since WrestleMania 40, clear lines have been drawn between the two factions. Roman Reigns leads the OG Bloodline, with The Usos and Sami Zayn backing him up.
Meanwhile, the new Bloodline sees new signings in Tama Tonga, Tango Loa and Jacob Fatu led by Solo Sikoa. This rivalry came to a head inside War Games at Survivor Series, where Roman Reigns team came out victorious.
In the wake of that battle, Zilla Fatu has chimed in about which side of the dispute he is taking. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Zilla Fatu revealed that he was loyal to the OG Tribal Chief in Roman Reings.
He went on to explain that he didn’t like Solo Sikoa using the Samoan Spike finishing move. That was the move of the late Umaga, who was Zilla Fatu’s father.
“I might have to go with … Imma break it down why I have to go with him, but Imma have to go with Team OTC baby, Roman Reigns.”
“For him to you know … try and take my dad’s move or whatever, I don’t like it, so I’m going with Roman Reigns, whatever he needs, I’m there,”.
Zilla Fatu is not currently signed to the WWE, but Booker T is doing his best to secure him to a deal with NXT.
Zilla Fatu On WWE’s New-Look Bloodline: It’s Dangerous, It Opened People’s Eyes
Back in May, illa Fatu recently sat down with MuscleManMalcolm. When asked about the new look of The Bloodline in WWE, currently being led by Solo Sikoa, Fatu said that it’s dangerous and believes the story is taking a positive turn because there’s no longer a title involved; it’s about something more.
“I think it’s dangerous,” Zilla Fatu said. “I think it definitely opened a lot of people’s eyes because it’s like, with The Bloodline story, there’s so many perspectives. So many opinions; so many outlooks with this story. What makes this story so beautiful and so legendary, there’s no belt involved. There is no belt; everybody going for that necklace.”
When asked about the reports of his tag team partner Jacob Fatu signing with WWE, Zilla said that when The Samoan Werewolf makes his debut with the company, he’ll shock the world.
“It’s dope. When he debuts, he’s gonna shock the world,” Zilla Fatu said. “I’m excited for him. The wrestling universe is excited for him. I know you’re excited for him, and the whole family. The Fatus, Anoaʻis, the evolution that he worked hard. I know he worked hard for his kids, most importantly. Shout out to all his seven kids. Liz, shout out to all of you guys holding it down for him while he’s on the road. So I’m just happy for him personally.”
