WWE may have to be patient for their next Samoan Superstar.
Zilla Fatu, son of WWE legend Umaga, has long been rumoured to be WWE-bound, with many fans pitching for the company to bring him in as part of The Bloodline.
Whilst WWE have reportedly had their eyes on Fatu for some time, the man himself believes the time isn’t quite right just yet, revealing in an interview with Chris Van Vliet that he still feels as though he has more to learn when asked if he’s ready to make the move.
“No. I thought I was. No, I think I still have more time to grow. I’m still green. I still have a long way to go, man. So I think when the timing is right, and not only that, when I feel right, just like the same feeling I had in prison, that I was tired, that I didn’t change my life, I’m just waiting for that feeling, and once that feeling pops up, that’s when I’m gonna start pushing for it. But for right now, I’m just being patient and just waiting, just grinding, enjoying the process, enjoying the journey, and just learning as I go and always be the student in the game. And I think, time will tell, and I think the fans will play a big role in that. So I’m just working like WWE never had their eyes on me. I think having that mindset, I think I’m gonna get there. I know I’m gonna be there. I think it just takes repetition, and it takes time, and I think where I’m at today, my brand is only going to excel. It’s only going to excel because, like I said earlier, we’re still figuring it out every day and brainstorming every day.”

Zilla will face off with Bully Ray in a HOG Crown Jewel Championship rematch for House Of Glory on September 4th, with the WWE Hall of Famer having captured the title from the rising star on August 1st.
The 25-year-old is also the current and inaugural 4th Rope Heavyweight Champion. Fatu recently represented the promotion at TNA’s Slammiversary.
