The Bloodline has been the most dominant force in WWE for years now. The group has primarily featured members of the Anoa'i family or those linked to the family tree in some shape or form.

Some members of the real-life Bloodline aren't yet in the Stamford-based company. For example, Sean Maluta, Lance Anoa'i, and Zilla Fatu, the son of Umaga, are notable names who represent the family outside of RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.

In what could be big news, it was recently revealed that Zilla Fatu will no longer be working with Game Changer Wrestling, the biggest promotion he competes in. Many believe that this could mean the son of the legendary star could be heading to WWE.

If Zilla does cross over and join the biggest pro wrestling company on earth, there are a few different ways he could debut that would be exciting. This article will take a look at a handful of ways it may happen, including via the formation of a brand new Bloodline.

Below are four ways Zilla Fatu can debut in WWE:

#4. He could be Roman Reigns' Enforcer

Roman Reigns is back on WWE television, and he has a few major goals. The Original Tribal Chief, first and foremost, wants to take his Ula Fala back and reclaim his spot as the rightful Head of The Table.

Beyond that, Roman is also looking to regain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Unfortunately, both of those goals are difficult for Reigns right now, as he is on his own. His only ally currently is Cody Rhodes, who is also arguably Reigns' greatest rival.

This could be where Zilla Fatu comes in. The son of Umaga could show up in the coming weeks and become Roman's Enforcer. While it would still be two men against the world, they could be a major threat together.

#3. Zilla Fatu could join Jacob Fatu in The Bloodline

While Roman Reigns would certainly hope to get at least some of his family members on his side, that may not happen. Instead, if Zilla Fatu is signed to WWE, he may opt to join Solo Sikoa's version of The Bloodline.

Solo Sikoa's version of The Bloodline is currently a four-man group. In addition to Solo, the group also features Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. The Samoan Werewolf may be the deciding factor in Zilla's decision.

Jacob and Zilla have worked as a tag team on the independent circuit in the past. Hence, Zilla reuniting with Jacob on the biggest stage in pro wrestling would make a lot of sense. Who knows if he even has a relationship with other family members? There is no doubt he has had one with The Samoan Werewolf.

#2. He could form a new version of The Bloodline on WWE NXT

While it is fun to fantasy book Zilla Fatu on the main roster with the likes of Roman Reigns, Jacob Fatu, and others, it is important to remember that Zilla is quite new to pro wrestling. Even if WWE signs him, Fatu is still a rookie.

As a result, he may debut on NXT instead of on Friday Night SmackDown. While this might seem disappointing to some, it could open up an interesting opportunity: Zilla could form his version of The Bloodline on the developmental brand.

Tama Tonga's half-brother, Hikuleo, is reportedly signed to the Sports Entertainment juggernaut. If someone such as Lance Anoa'i or Sean Maluta also gets picked up, Zilla could form an NXT family of sorts. Zilla, Hikuleo, Lance, and maybe even Maluta could be a dominant force on the brand.

#1. Zilla could appear on RAW with Jey Uso

Jey Uso is currently not involved with The Bloodline saga on WWE TV. While the rest of his family and those associated with the family are at war on SmackDown, The YEET Master is on RAW.

However, things haven't been easy for Main Event Jey on the red brand. He is currently dealing with several threats. This includes The Judgment Day, thanks to his association with The Terror Twins, and reigning Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker.

If Zilla Fatu does join WWE, he could end up appearing on Monday Night RAW and uniting with Jey away from the rest of their family. If Zilla joins Jey and The Terror Twins, it could mean huge trouble for The Judgment Day moving forward.
