    Zilla Fatu’s long anticipated debut WWE’s NXT leaves fans shocked!

    For years, fans have been wanting and waiting for Fatu to join his other family members under the WWE brand, however the time never seemed right until last weekend.

    During last Friday’s House of Glory Show in New York City, Fatu, who was the HOG Crowd Jewel Champion, dropped his belt to his opponent Amazing Red.

    After losing his title, Fatu bid his final farewell to the place he called home and dominated for most of his career. However, things took a turn on Tuesday night’s episode of WWE’s NXT during the main event.

    While Cruz Montana and Grayson Waller were battling it out to see who would become the number one contender for the NXT World Heavyweight Championship, the match was interrupted by the shocking debut of Zilla Fatu.

    It’s clear that Fatu is in NXT for one reason and purpose only and that’s to become the next WWE NXT World Heavyweight Champion.

    Zilla Fatu’s addition to the WWE brand has strengthen the Bloodline and allows him to follow in his father’s footsteps, the late Umaga. His name has been added to the lineage of his cousins, Jacob Fatu, The Usos, Solo Sikoa, and WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns.

    Will the Bloodline become stronger with Zilla Fatu now under the WWE umbrella?

    Tory Lanez’s Divorce Case Dismissed While Behind Bars

    It looks like Tory Lanez and his wife will stay married.

    According to reports, Lanez and his wife are no longer getting divorced after the case was dismissed while in prison. Court documents reveal that a judge dismissed the Los Angeles case due to “lack of movement in the case to bring it closer to a final judgment since it was first filed.”

    Lanez’s estranged wife, Raina Chassagne, filed for divorce in June 2024, after being married for almost a year. In the filing, she cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

    She also asked for full legal and physical custody of their son, Kai, as Lanez is serving a 10 year prison sentence for the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.

    Aside from the dismissal of the case, Raina has taken Kai to visit Lanez in prison and wished him a Happy Father’s Day in June 2025.

    Tory Lanez’s team has not commented on the news of the divorce being dismissed.
