Paul Heyman has shared his thoughts on a notable independent wrestling star, believing WWE should sign him at the very first opportunity to do so.
With Heyman’s previous ties to members of the Anoa’i/Fatu family, the veteran name has commented on the possibility of a rising star from this bloodline joining WWE.
During an interview with MuscleManMalcolm, Paul Heyman was asked for his opinion on Zilla Fatu, and WWE potentially signing him.
Believing that WWE would be remiss if they didn’t bring Zilla Fatu aboard, Heyman said:
“I think WWE would be remiss if WWE doesn’t sign Zilla Fatu at the very first opportunity to do so.”

Zilla Fatu is notably the son of the late Umaga, and first cousins to The Usos, Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.
Training with Booker T at Reality of Wrestling, Zilla Fatu made his in-ring debut in July 2023.
There has been a lot of speculation about Zilla potentially signing a WWE contract since then, with the crowd at the January 6 New Year’s Evil NXT special chanting for him in a segment with Ricky Saints.
Zilla Fatu previously commented on this crowd reaction, calling it a humbling and special experience.
It would make sense for WWE to eventually hire Zilla Fatu, with there being many stars and family members for him to potentially align with.
Following Paul Heyman’s praise, it would be interesting to see the Wiseman paired with the up-and-comer, with Heyman able to pass on his wisdom, as he has been doing with Vision faction members Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, Austin Theory and Bronson Reed.
