A real-life member of The Bloodline has developed a bad reputation outside of WWE. Longtime wrestling veteran Konnan reacted to the rumors of Zilla Fatu being hard to work with on the independent circuit.
Fatu, the son of the late great Umaga, began his wrestling career last year after training under Booker T in Houston. He has been working on various indie promotions like Reality of Wrestling and Game Changer Wrestling. However, GCW recently parted ways with Zilla and announced he won't be appearing for them in the future.
Speaking on the latest episode of the Keepin' It 100 podcast, a fan asked Konnan about his thoughts on Zilla Fatu and if he thinks he's going down the same path as Teddy Hart.
The former WCW World Television Champion admitted that he doesn't know a lot about Umaga's son but it's not a good look if he's developing a bad reputation given that his real-life Bloodline uncles, cousins, and ancestors are very respected for being easy to work with.
"I don't know nothing about this guy whatsoever if he has a bad attitude or not. But if you're getting already a bad rep early on in your career, that's not good. The one thing we know about most almost every Samoan, they're all good workers. They're not hard to deal with unless you try to f*ck them over," Konnan said. [From 02:22 to 02:44]

In addition to GCW, Zilla Fatu also parted ways with Reality of Wrestling last year due to an issue with Booker T. It was recently resolved and Fatu has returned to the Houston-based promotion. He's also advertised to appear in HOG Wrestling, Limitless Wrestling, and Great Lakes Championship Wrestling.
Zilla Fatu wants to join The Bloodline in WWE
It's no secret that the ultimate end game for Zilla Fatu is to join WWE and hopefully be part of The Bloodline. Fatu is still developing his skills on the independent circuit but it won't be surprising to see him join his cousins and uncles in the biggest wrestling company in the world.
Speaking to Joey Franchize last May, the 25-year-old star admitted that he wants to sign with WWE and not join AEW.
"WWE, uce. That's the main one. Like I said, back to what I was saying with my family, my family got a long history with WWE. So at the same time, I don't want to be the first Fatu or Anoa'i to go to AEW. I don't want to break that cycle. But it just gotta make sense because everybody's journey is different. My journey's different. My story's way different from Solo's, from The Usos', from Roman and Jacob. So my story, I got a whole 'nother chapter," Zilla said. [H/T: Fightful]

The Bloodline storyline is still ongoing after four years and entered a new chapter. Roman Reigns will be teaming up with Cody Rhodes to take on Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at WWE Bad Blood on October 5th.
