Booker T Predicts Zilla Fatu Will Be the Most Impactful Young Star in Three Decades

Booker T knows a future superstar when he sees one, and he’s got his eyes on Zilla Fatu. After sharing the ring with Fatu at a recent Reality of Wrestling event, the WWE Hall of Famer made it clear that the young talent has everything it takes to take over the business—but he’s not rushing into anything.

On his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T made a bold statement about Fatu’s potential. “Zilla Fatu, he’s gonna be prime for the WWE when he gets there. I just talked to him about WWE and making that move,” he said. “One thing about this kid, he’s not in a rush or anything to make it, but trust me, when he makes it, he’s gonna make the biggest impact that you have seen from any young star to come along in this business perhaps in the last thirty years.”

Fatu comes from wrestling royalty. As the son of the late Umaga and younger brother of Jacob Fatu, he carries the legacy of the Samoan dynasty—a family that already dominates WWE through Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. Fans have been speculating about his arrival in WWE, and with Jacob Fatu making his debut in 2024, it seems like only a matter of time before Zilla steps into the picture.

Unlike many second-generation stars, Fatu didn’t take the traditional route into wrestling. He spent time away from the business due to personal challenges but has since turned his life around. After training under Booker T, he made his in-ring debut in Reality of Wrestling in 2023 and has been making waves on the independent scene ever since. His hard-hitting style and natural charisma have already caught the attention of WWE fans who want to see him in The Bloodline.

For now, he’s taking his time and learning the craft, but if Booker T’s prediction holds weight, Fatu won’t just be another name in WWE—he’ll be a game-changer.

Should Zilla Fatu head to WWE now, or is he smart to wait for the right moment? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
