A top 25-year-old star has been linked to WWE about potentially joining The Bloodline. However, former superstar Afa Anoa'i Jr., known as Manu, thought that Zilla Fatu signing with the largest wrestling promotion in the world right now would be a mistake.
Fatu recently made headlines after Game Changer Wrestling announced that it was cutting ties with the real-life Bloodline member. It led to rumors that the son of Umaga would be joining WWE.
However, Fightful Select (H/T: WrestleZone) reported that Fatu has not signed with the company and is still working on the independent circuit. He's advertised to wrestle for Limitless Wrestling, Great Lakes Championship Wrestling, and HOG Wrestling in the next month.

"They need to let him develop. I don't know why everybody's so quick to rush him there. The kid's brand new in the business. He has a lot of developing to do. He has a lot of maturing to do, but the sky's the limit for him. It's only a matter of time before he turns up somewhere. … He's still learning, so it'll be a process, but eventually, I'm sure he'll turn up somewhere on the national level," Afa Jr. said.
Zilla Fatu teased joining WWE after former star signs Legends Contract
Former WWE manager Armando Alejandro Estrada, who was the manager of Umaga at the start of his run, announced last week that he signed a Legends deal with the company. It led to speculation that he could be the new wise man for Solo Sikoa's Bloodline.
Zilla Fatu also teased the possibility of working with Estrada after sharing his post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
It's been confirmed that Fatu and Estrada will be working together, but not in WWE. They are set to appear at Great Lakes Championship Wrestling on December 7 for its Blizzard Brawl event.
