Zilla Fatu, son of the late WWE wrestler Umaga, has confirmed his signing with the company. Fatu made his television debut on the recent episode of WWE NXT on Tuesday night.
Reports had surfaced prior to the NXT broadcast suggesting Fatu was present at the WWE Performance Center. These reports indicated a general belief that Fatu had signed a contract with WWE. This follows earlier indications in June that Fatu had been observed at the Performance Center and was undergoing preparations for a potential signing.
Fatu recently concluded his time on the independent wrestling scene by losing the House of Glory Crown Jewel Championship to Amazing Red on August 7. The match likely marked his final appearance on the independent circuit for the foreseeable future.
Umaga, known as the "Samoan Bulldozer," was a two-time WWE Intercontinental Champion and passed away in 2009. His finisher, the "Samoan Spike," is currently used by his nephew, Solo Sikoa, as a tribute.
