The Rock Sends Message to Zilla Fatu Ahead of NXT Title Match

The Rock has shown his support for fellow Bloodline member Zilla Fatu ahead of the young WWE Superstar’s first major championship opportunity.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has remained closely connected to his extended Samoan wrestling family even when he has not been directly involved in WWE storylines. His latest message came after WWE NXT shared a training video featuring Zilla Fatu ahead of his upcoming title match.

The Rock Sends Message To Zilla Fatu

WWE NXT recently shared a training clip of Zilla Fatu on social media. In the video, Fatu could be seen working on his triceps as he continued preparing for his upcoming championship opportunity.

The post caught the attention of The Rock, who left a short but encouraging message for his family member.

“Time to eat fam.”

The phrase was seemingly used as a show of support, encouraging Fatu to perform at his best when he steps inside the ring for his first WWE title opportunity.

Zilla Fatu Set For Huge NXT Championship Match

Zilla Fatu is scheduled to make his WWE in-ring debut at NXT Heatwave in a massive Fatal Four-Way match for the NXT Championship.

The match will see Fatu challenge reigning champion Tony D’Angelo alongside Cruz Montana and Grayson Waller. A victory would immediately make Fatu a major name on the NXT roster.

Fatu’s path to the championship match has been anything but ordinary. He made his WWE debut only a few weeks ago and quickly made an impact by attacking Montana and Waller during their No. 1 Contender’s Match.

His involvement dramatically changed the situation and eventually helped set the stage for the upcoming four-way championship contest.

The Rock Could Be Heading Back To WWE

While The Rock’s latest message was directed toward Zilla Fatu, speculation about the Hollywood star’s own WWE future has also continued to grow.

The Rock has recently been linked with an upcoming WWE tryout in Honolulu. The speculation intensified after WWE reportedly deleted and reposted an announcement for the event featuring an updated promotional graphic.

The revised graphic included The Rock alongside Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, adding fuel to speculation about a potential Bloodline-related appearance.

WWE Tryouts In Honolulu Fuel Bloodline Speculation

The reported WWE tryouts are scheduled around the company’s October 16 and October 17 live events at Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu.

WWE has not officially explained the reason for The Rock’s appearance on the promotional material. However, his inclusion alongside several members of his real-life family has naturally attracted attention from wrestling fans.

The Rock has deep connections to Polynesian wrestling, while Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso and Zilla Fatu are all part of the wider Anoa’i and Fatu wrestling family.

Hawaii could therefore provide an appropriate setting for another appearance from The People’s Champion, although his exact involvement remains uncertain.

What Could Be Next For Zilla Fatu?

For now, Zilla Fatu’s attention will be on his NXT Championship opportunity. The young star has already made an impression since arriving in WWE, and defeating Tony D’Angelo, Cruz Montana and Grayson Waller would give him a remarkable start to his in-ring career.

The Rock’s public support could also add extra attention to Fatu’s championship debut, particularly because of their real-life family connection.

Whether Fatu leaves NXT Heatwave as the new NXT Champion remains to be seen. Meanwhile, fans will continue watching closely for any further signs of The Rock’s potential WWE return.
