Will Zilla Fatu Join The Bloodline Against 946? Rikishi Drops Major Hint
The Bloodline could be looking for reinforcements as its rivalry with 946 continues to escalate on WWE RAW. Rikishi has fueled speculation about a possible new addition after the faction suffered another setback against Royce Keys and his allies.

The feud has become increasingly personal, with 946 targeting members of the Samoan faction to weaken its numbers. The group previously abducted Solo Sikoa, while Jaida Parker ran over Jacob Fatu with her car on the September 28 episode of RAW before aligning herself with 946. “The Samoan Werewolf” has since been absent from WWE programming following the attack.
Royce Keys also made his intentions clear ahead of the October 5 RAW, warning that 946 would take out The Bloodline one member at a time before going after its ultimate target. The two sides then clashed at Money in the Bank, where The Usos and Sikoa united to fight back against Keys, Bronco Nima, and Lucien Price.
The rivalry continued on the October 12 episode of the Monday Night Show, when The Usos teamed with Sikoa against 946 in a six-man tag team match. The contest descended into chaos, with Jaida Parker interfering and taking out The Usos at ringside. Just as Sikoa appeared ready to finish Keys, a masked attacker struck him with a crowbar.
The mystery man was revealed as Carmelo Hayes, who officially aligned himself with 946. Hayes helped the faction assault Sikoa and The Usos, leaving the group standing tall to close the show.
Following the episode, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi posted a cryptic message on X that sparked speculation about a potential addition to The Bloodline.

Rikishi did not identify the person he was addressing, but given the ongoing attacks on his family, the Hall of Famer could be teasing Zilla Fatu as a potential addition to The Bloodline.
Could Zilla Fatu Join The Bloodline in Its War With 946?
Zilla Fatu is one name that could fit the situation. The son of the late Umaga and a member of the extended Anoa’i family, he made his WWE NXT debut on August 11, 2026, attacking Cruz Montana and Grayson Waller before confronting NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo.
Zilla has since begun establishing himself on the developmental brand. On October 6, he defeated Lexis King, but BirthRight attacked him afterward and crushed his hand against the ring steps. His ongoing issues with the group give him a storyline of his own in NXT, meaning a move to RAW is far from confirmed.
Still, Zilla’s family connection makes him a plausible candidate if WWE decides to expand The Bloodline’s ranks. With Hayes now strengthening 946, the faction could use another powerful ally to even the odds.
For now, Rikishi’s message remains a tease rather than confirmation. Whether it points to Zilla or someone else, The Bloodline’s next move could prove crucial as the rivalry intensifies.
