Real-life Bloodline member is ready to join WWE, says Rikishi

WWE has signed several stars who have direct and indirect ties with The Bloodline. Meanwhile, Hall of Famer Rikishi thinks that there's room for another star from The Anoa'i Family, and he's ready to join the company.

Zilla Fatu has established himself as a rising star on the independent circuit and made waves across promotions where he captured titles. There's a high chance that the second-generation star will make his way to the Stamford-based promotion sooner rather than later.

Speaking on the Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, Rikishi Fatu spoke highly of Zilla Fatu. During his conversation, Fatu thinks the second-generation star is ready for WWE's main roster and doesn't mind if he skips the developmental brand. While he could end up on NXT, the Hall of Famer stated the roster would only benefit from having a talent like Zilla, regardless of the shows.

"Solo [Sikoa] went through it [NXT], but I already knew that Solo was already ready in case he needed to go to the next level. And I feel the same way for Zilla [Fatu]. I think it's not a bad thing if he goes to NXT. I think it's a good thing. I think it's a good thing for those that are down there that are not up into the big show yet to get to know who Zilla Fatu is," Fatu said. (From 25:55 to 26:20)
