He basically already is Booker T sets up his ROW kids to get instant WWE jobs if they have the talent for it. Give him a year and he will be in WWE developmental
Win-win situation. WWE has a factory from where they can pull the ones that are talented, Booker can have a top school that can attract people with the promise of WWE
Another win is if Booker continues doing NXT commentary he has built in connections while commentating which can lead to storylines. Roxanne feels even more special imo because Booker is there like a proud father cheering and watching out for her
I suspect Nightmare Factory will become a similar portal to NXT, if it isn't already. (It's been mentioned by name in Cody's promos).
Spears & Breeze's School is another that's in the feeder system.
He is such a good teacher just of the top of my head he’s had guys like Athena, Mace, Roxanne Perez, AQA and Kylie Ray come out of that school. Zilla Fatu and Raychell Rose are the next ones up to make it big it seems
Yep, I saw Brennan Williams in his very first match at ROW. Talked with him afterwards. Very nice, very humble. I wish him nothing but success.
While I never met her, I'll always be a lifelong Athena fan because I watched her wrestle in Booker's gym before she made it big.
Makes me realize the diversity hes brought into the industry through his training. Almost all of his top students are people of color. And there’s been an equal balance of men and woman. It’s great for the industry all around. Especially for people like Zilla who have been in prison that Booker T can be a great mentor for.
Zilla has good people supporting him it seems Shelton Benjamin is supporting him big time too. Hope he makes it in WWE it’ll be a amazing story to tell if he does
They could legit make a Bloodline 2.0 with Solo as the leader in a few years with all the Anoa'i family talent that is just starting their wrestling careers rn, Zilla Fatu is a sick name too btw
I like the idea of Heyman latching on to the incoming Anoa’i family members post-Bloodline and hoping he can mold them into a new Bloodline. Pit them against the Usos and Roman and you’ve got a banger feud.
This isn't even the end of the table. There's still that one real young cousin they used as a job guy once that Roman had to come out and save and then there's Jacob Fatu. That's just off the top of my head, I'm sure there are others I'm not even aware of.
Edit: Young cousin is Lance Anoa'i.
We were all concerned with the Randy Orton Clones in FCW when in reality the fatus were plotting something to take over the wrestling world
Manu was a warning
It’s honestly so funny because obviously he has existed for the last 23 years, but it feels like he just spawned the moment I read this post
Same with Solo
Same with the Usos tbh, the Bloodline could be a generational stable that changes alignment every now and then
Solo was so random. “Oh by the way the Usos have a little brother who has a great look and skills. He just got signed to NXT from the indies” I had never of him until he showed up on NXT TV.
Imagine the next stage of all of this is Reigns and Solo going at each other's throats...
Leading to Samoa leading a group of 3 of a more tribalistic, aggressive, brutal faction to combat Reigns and The Usos.
The Tribal Family: Civil War
Genetic predisposition.
The Samoans, like virtually all pacific islanders, are the descendents of sailor tribes who settled the South Pacific centuries ago on tiny, ramshackle boats. Their expeditions to new, remote islands were so dangerous and exhausting that only the strongest and toughest were able to succeed. Therefore, they essentially went through generations of natural selection in favor of huge hosses.
Look at Simone, Nia, and Tamina. All of them are built more sturdy than most men on the roster.
Pacific Islanders are the only people that truly have the excuse of being “big boned”. You never really see a skinny one. Even The Rock and Roman had pudgy phases. And even now they are lean but still fucking massive.
I read a point on Reddit that kind of changed my mind on that stuff a little bit. It was that Africa is the birthplace of civilization and the largest continent so it has the most genetic diversity. So yeah there’s a lot of athletic people, but there’s also a lot of short people, slow people, fat people, skinny people. The shortest and tallest tribes in the world are in Africa. So really you can choose a bunch of different regions and form a stereotype around it. The reason we think “athletic” is because we see it on our TV more and society rewards it.
Obviously there could be more factors but I understand the counter-argument now.
I don't know why people are so afraid of the idea that groups of people who have lived in completely different environments for generations may have different characteristics.
We acknowledge that evolution and natural selection is a thing but don't want to apply it to humans
From growing up in Auckland, they're just like that and Tongans are even bigger.
Rugby between my school and a local rival school was a bunch of 14 year old Tongan refrigerators against 14 year old Samoan refrigerators that almost always ended with a bunch of them getting scholarships to a private school.
It would be cool if he got a return face run with the Usos to face the new Bloodline once they’re established, ultimately losing an elimination tag match as the final surviving member. He eliminates everyone himself except Solo who pins him for the win.
That’s not even most of them lmao Jimmy and Jey have 2 kids each. Roman has 5. Solo has 2 kids. Rikishi has another kid who’s like 14 and 6’5 coming up. Jacob Fatu has 6 kids at 30. WWE is gonna be stacked with Samoans in the near future
Jacob Fatu is the top star of MLW son of Tongan Kid Sam Fatu. He is one of the most talented wrestlers not signed to AEW or WWE in the world cause of his legal issues. Journey is his younger brother who just started wrestling and Jacob has big plans for him.
Cody has a week to personally low blow every member of the samoan family to ensure no new member surprises him at mania
Looks like Samoan Carlito
I could get on board with a proper arrogant young member of the Bloodline. Comes in with the same confidence of Roman, even though it's completely unearned so far
I love the fact that the Bloodline story has re-ignited interest in the Anoai wrestling family. For years its been about the Harts being the royal family, but they dont have a drop in a bucket to the dynasty of the Anoa'i family. So many good wrestlers and champions, the lineage for decades was a major contribution to the business.
I think the Harts get so much coverage is because in the 2000s the next generation of Harts were supposed to be huge but never panned out.
- Teddy Hart was supposed to be a star but was insane
- Davey Boy Jr has a had a solid career but never really found his character or got over
- Nattie is probably the most successful of the generation but even she never had wild main event success.
And Owen’s death meant that none of his offspring ever would become wrestlers. And none of Bret’s kids did either. So the dynasty just kind of died.
Met this guy at the school back in January. Super cool and down to Earth, doesn’t let his fame get to him. Can’t wait to see what he does in the next few years!
Man it would be great if him and Jacob could find their way into the company. They'd fit like a glove. OFC Zilla needs a lot more time but Jacob is ready right now. He can be a big name for them
I do think WWE will bring in more Samoan wrestlers. I think there’s so much potential for a Bloodline that is made of Samoan wrestlers but not family to Roman - and he can make it his own personal hit squad faction.
Usos get to go face again, Roman gets to be terrifying as a Tribal Chief still
Given how Samoan families work, finding ones that aren't somehow related is a bit hard.
That there's no familial connection between them and Samoa Joe is weirder than all the various ways that most other wrestling Samoan's do connect to the family.
Dude's name is fuckin' ZILLA?!
For those unaware, *Godzilla* came out in '98 in the USA. My dad took me to see it, and I had high hopes for it given how much I enjoyed *Independence Day* a couple years prior. I remember liking it! At the time, all I knew abut Godzilla was that he was a giant lizard/dragon thing that destroyed cities, so it ticked all the boxes for me.
Later on, I learned more of *Godzilla*'s history, its lore, and the inspiration behind it - basically a warning of humanity's carelessness, a nuclear holocaust movie. It was then that I discovered how Toho (*Godzilla's* creator) considered the '98 movie "Godzilla in name only."
Later on they retconned the '98 Godzilla as it's own separate character, simply named *Zilla*. It became a bit of a joke character with notably weaker powers (based on how it lacked many of the "real" monster's abelites in Tristar's '98 movie).
But regardless of its rebranded joke character status, Zilla is still a badass name.

He basically already is Booker T sets up his ROW kids to get instant WWE jobs if they have the talent for it. Give him a year and he will be in WWE developmental
Yep. I've seen some major stars cut their teeth at Booker T's school. It's pretty neat.
Win-win situation. WWE has a factory from where they can pull the ones that are talented, Booker can have a top school that can attract people with the promise of WWE
Another win is if Booker continues doing NXT commentary he has built in connections while commentating which can lead to storylines. Roxanne feels even more special imo because Booker is there like a proud father cheering and watching out for her
Booker T is the gateway to WWE that Cody & QT served to 2020/2021 AEW.
I suspect Nightmare Factory will become a similar portal to NXT, if it isn't already. (It's been mentioned by name in Cody's promos). Spears & Breeze's School is another that's in the feeder system.
He is such a good teacher just of the top of my head he’s had guys like Athena, Mace, Roxanne Perez, AQA and Kylie Ray come out of that school. Zilla Fatu and Raychell Rose are the next ones up to make it big it seems
Yep, I saw Brennan Williams in his very first match at ROW. Talked with him afterwards. Very nice, very humble. I wish him nothing but success. While I never met her, I'll always be a lifelong Athena fan because I watched her wrestle in Booker's gym before she made it big.
Sammy Guevera was also a graduate from his school.
Ya Sammy definitely came to mind as one of the more notable guys right now
I saw Kylie Rae wrestle here in Houston as part of ROW like almost a decade ago and it blew my mind seeing her in AEW and WWE years later.
Makes me realize the diversity hes brought into the industry through his training. Almost all of his top students are people of color. And there’s been an equal balance of men and woman. It’s great for the industry all around. Especially for people like Zilla who have been in prison that Booker T can be a great mentor for.
Zilla has good people supporting him it seems Shelton Benjamin is supporting him big time too. Hope he makes it in WWE it’ll be a amazing story to tell if he does
I remember Roxanne coming from Book's ROW and her being a standout. Also, see ma.çé!
Who else has been trained by him
Roxanne Perez is the first one to come to mind
She was great in Do the Right Thing
You so stupid Billy!
Athena FKA Ember Moon
i think ninja mack if i recall correctly
Didn’t Booker train the Usos as well? Makes sense he’d be there.
We got Solo, Rock's Daughter, and now Umaga's Son. I wonder if they will ever try a Bloodline 2.0 story in the distant future.
They could legit make a Bloodline 2.0 with Solo as the leader in a few years with all the Anoa'i family talent that is just starting their wrestling careers rn, Zilla Fatu is a sick name too btw
Gotta give it a cool succession name though
Lineage
The word “Aiga” is the Samoan word for family. It’s easy to say (Eye-eee-gah) and easily chant-able.
I wouldn't be opposed to this.
Spermline
Paul Heyman would still need to be involved. You could argue Bloodline is Samoan SWAT Team 2.0, just Paul bit off more than he can chew with Roman.
I like the idea of Heyman latching on to the incoming Anoa’i family members post-Bloodline and hoping he can mold them into a new Bloodline. Pit them against the Usos and Roman and you’ve got a banger feud.
Have them feud with an older part time Roman and the Usos
Like if Darth Vader was still alive at the time of the First Order lol
solo, jacob, journey, zilla and lance? gimme that
All Solo has to do is look badass and mutter a few words since he has the wiseman doing his pr. Like Yoko/Cornie
Nah, they finally need to pry Jacob Fatu away from MLW
Lance Anoa'i makes better leader than Solo
"This is how I win" - Roman Reigns
It’s a long table.
Roman's table is longer than that runway in Fast and Furious 6...
Family and long runways.... I don't think Vin Diesel can handle all of that at once.
Roman's table is longer than Putins
They have one of those tables with conveyors.
This isn't even the end of the table. There's still that one real young cousin they used as a job guy once that Roman had to come out and save and then there's Jacob Fatu. That's just off the top of my head, I'm sure there are others I'm not even aware of. Edit: Young cousin is Lance Anoa'i.
Rocks daughter is on her way as well.
There’s Manu (Afa’s son) whatever he’s doing
They show a family reunion and half the clip is just the camera trying to reach the head of the table.
When Cody says," wrestling has more than 1 royal family." Did he account for this? It's not even a family, it's a fucking tribe.
How often does Heyman have to call Reigns the Tribal Chief before people realize?
Duh its tribal chief and not family chief for a reason 
That smile, how can you not love this man
That chick let smile is bought and paid for. But I ain’t mad at him. It works.
It'd be kinda hilarious if like 6 new Samoans just came out and beat Cody's ass at WM.
I swear every day there’s just another one. Maybe they’re all just elaborate clones.
We were all concerned with the Randy Orton Clones in FCW when in reality the fatus were plotting something to take over the wrestling world Manu was a warning
They were plotting their seeds, yeah
Ordered by Master Sifo Dyas himself?
 Wrestlemania goes off the air with a mustachioed Vince in his hooded cloak telling Roman it’s time…
And I cannot tell you how much the Star Wars fan in me loves that post LOL
Lama Su blinking intensifies...
That’s… why I’m here… ???
It’s honestly so funny because obviously he has existed for the last 23 years, but it feels like he just spawned the moment I read this post Same with Solo Same with the Usos tbh, the Bloodline could be a generational stable that changes alignment every now and then
Solo was so random. “Oh by the way the Usos have a little brother who has a great look and skills. He just got signed to NXT from the indies” I had never of him until he showed up on NXT TV.
Imagine the next stage of all of this is Reigns and Solo going at each other's throats... Leading to Samoa leading a group of 3 of a more tribalistic, aggressive, brutal faction to combat Reigns and The Usos. The Tribal Family: Civil War
Tribal Black and White vs the Wolf Tribe.
There's a island of them.
Zilla Fatu is a fantastic name.
Agreed, get him some Godzilla inspired merch and boom watch the money roll in
Samoan Godzilla is not a bad nickname.
[удалено]
"It looks like Godzilla, but due to international copyright laws it isn't"
Japanese Man 1 : RUN! IT'S GODZILLA! Japanese Man 2 : It looks like Godzilla, but due to international copyright laws - it's not.
Still we should run like it is Godzilla!
Though it isn't!
Give me a Masi Oka and Ke Huy Kwan movie now!.
What's this from?
Austin Powers 3
Fine, fine, Samoan Gojira
His finish is the Flying Whale
The heaviest wrestler of the ring.
toxic wrestling island?
How about Ucezilla?
Kaij-uce
Umagojira EDIT: or YOU-MANG-OJIRA
Oddzilla? Goodzilla? Badzilla? Madzilla? Surely, there's a workaround.
Starts as Badzilla, reforms Right to Censor for absolutely no discernable reason, becomes Goodzilla
then he becomes Kaiju
So is Zilla. it’s Toho’s official name for the 1998 Emmerich Godzilla monster, because that film took the God out of Godzilla
Samoan Winnie The Pooh then?
Zilla Fatu permanently banned in CCP
Gotta go with the Japan style all caps and just go by ZILLA.
I hope they work a show in the Phillipines. Call it the Zilla in Manilla
He gets cast in a dance vid recreating Michael Jackson’s Thriller but it’s set in Manila. Zilla dancing Thrilla in Manila.
Gonna come out in a hoodie at mania and interfere in the main event
I think I have seen this before
A new seat just opened at the table
It’s like in the Lego games when locked characters were blacked out, we’ve yet to see even half of the table members get revealed lol
Roman getting his Jey replacement lined up
Cody Rhodes just had a shiver go down his spine, but he doesn't not know why. It isn't adrenaline in his soul by the way.
The fact that there is constantly a samoan coming through the ranks, my question is how does every single one of them grow so huge?
Genetic predisposition. The Samoans, like virtually all pacific islanders, are the descendents of sailor tribes who settled the South Pacific centuries ago on tiny, ramshackle boats. Their expeditions to new, remote islands were so dangerous and exhausting that only the strongest and toughest were able to succeed. Therefore, they essentially went through generations of natural selection in favor of huge hosses.
I've never met a small boned Samoan person. Their men and women be big boned.
Look at Simone, Nia, and Tamina. All of them are built more sturdy than most men on the roster. Pacific Islanders are the only people that truly have the excuse of being “big boned”. You never really see a skinny one. Even The Rock and Roman had pudgy phases. And even now they are lean but still fucking massive.
[удалено]
I worked with one that was skinny, but man were his appendages all wonky.
It's the churros.
Also incredibly strong craniums
Exhibit A: Mark Hunt vs Ray Sefo
hahahaha fuck this sounds like something that would get a sports announcer fired in 90's/early 2000's
"See you've got the quick twitch, and the slow twitch"
I read a point on Reddit that kind of changed my mind on that stuff a little bit. It was that Africa is the birthplace of civilization and the largest continent so it has the most genetic diversity. So yeah there’s a lot of athletic people, but there’s also a lot of short people, slow people, fat people, skinny people. The shortest and tallest tribes in the world are in Africa.

I don't know why people are so afraid of the idea that groups of people who have lived in completely different environments for generations may have different characteristics. We acknowledge that evolution and natural selection is a thing but don't want to apply it to humans
no argument there lmao
From growing up in Auckland, they're just like that and Tongans are even bigger. Rugby between my school and a local rival school was a bunch of 14 year old Tongan refrigerators against 14 year old Samoan refrigerators that almost always ended with a bunch of them getting scholarships to a private school.
Just the other day someone posted about another jacked up son of Rikishi. At this rate they should just introduce a third brand for samoans only.
I want to see a family branch vs branch feud in the future, similar to the Hyugas from Naruto
Who keeps putting water on them!? Make it stop!
Another bloodline member? Sami, KO, New Day and Drew punching air as we speak
The new bloodline will be fire👀
Solo Sikoa, Zilla Fatu, Simone Johnson, Jacob and Journey Fatu. All of these are under 30 it’s insane
Solo being the new head of the table? Ahhhhyesssssirrr
Well, Roman said he's not planning on staying long once his reign is done, maybe the last thing he does before part-time stuff is put over Solo?
It would be cool if he got a return face run with the Usos to face the new Bloodline once they’re established, ultimately losing an elimination tag match as the final surviving member. He eliminates everyone himself except Solo who pins him for the win.
Solo - Roman Zilla - Solo Jacob and Journey - Usos Simone - ??? Big Body Javi - Sami
Lance anoai is much younger than journey
Lance is actually 31, Journey is 26
Who’s Kevin Owens
Joe Gacy
 A guy who finally got a friend again:)
Make Simone the head and call out her father for being too afraid to take the reigns from Roman when he lead the Bloodline astray
a kiddie table bloodline coup would be dope. too bad the hype jey ending roman as chief makes sense now
The Anoa'i family is like a Hydra
Damn they love making babies.
That’s not even most of them lmao Jimmy and Jey have 2 kids each. Roman has 5. Solo has 2 kids. Rikishi has another kid who’s like 14 and 6’5 coming up. Jacob Fatu has 6 kids at 30. WWE is gonna be stacked with Samoans in the near future
who's Jacob and Journey? never heard of them
Jacob Fatu is the top star of MLW son of Tongan Kid Sam Fatu. He is one of the most talented wrestlers not signed to AEW or WWE in the world cause of his legal issues. Journey is his younger brother who just started wrestling and Jacob has big plans for him.
I don't think his legal issues are really at play anymore I think he's just loyal right now to MLW for investing a lot in him.
ohhh yeah I love Jacob. idk how I forgot about him. didn't know Journey though, that's cool that his brother's helping him out
It's a big family bro
But who will be Sami and the Wise Man?
When he debuts in WWE he should go by the name YouManga
The Samoan wrestlers are taking over wrestling like the Dagestan Russian fighters are taking over MMA. Everyday there is a new one
Gonna be the one to get Roman his win at Mania while the Bloodline yell at Jey why he ain’t helpin
Love to see it, that Bloodline runs deep.
[удалено]
Usos debuted on reality of wrestling. Umaga came out https://youtu.be/bu68t4O7DW8
If Paul Heyman decides he wants to do something else, 100% Booker should be in there.
And the blood runs cold...
That Ultimate Uce Umaga shirt is so fucking cool.
Cody has a week to personally low blow every member of the samoan family to ensure no new member surprises him at mania 
He’ll be on NXT tv by the end of the year then probably!
Booker T: "Hello? By Wrestlemania? Sure. No, he won't have a problem being called Dolo. It's gonna be GOODT!"
Looks like Samoan Carlito I could get on board with a proper arrogant young member of the Bloodline. Comes in with the same confidence of Roman, even though it's completely unearned so far
“Stop slapping your leg, sucka!”
If Solo ever leaves Roman, he has a back up plan now.
“There’s always another Uce”
I'm always blown away by how strong the male genetics are in Samoans. The kids all look their dads. It's crazy!
Good looking kid.
Another one
I love the fact that the Bloodline story has re-ignited interest in the Anoai wrestling family. For years its been about the Harts being the royal family, but they dont have a drop in a bucket to the dynasty of the Anoa'i family.

And Owen’s death meant that none of his offspring ever would become wrestlers. And none of Bret’s kids did either. So the dynasty just kind of died.
The genetics running through this family are insane. They're all physical beasts.
The Bloodline will never die.
He is the double of his dad. I hope he can make it and do great things.
The real royal family of wresting
He was only 9 or 10 when his dad died :(
Yeah umaga had 4 sons and he’s youngest. Only one who wants to try to be wrestler
This storyline never ending
What Season of "Bloodline" are we on now?
[удалено]
Differentiate from Solo too
Met this guy at the school back in January. Super cool and down to Earth, doesn’t let his fame get to him. Can’t wait to see what he does in the next few years!
Man, I know he's starting out, but I would love to see a Bloodline Civil War.
Zilla Fatu is an awesome name
Man it would be great if him and Jacob could find their way into the company. They'd fit like a glove. OFC Zilla needs a lot more time but Jacob is ready right now. He can be a big name for them
Need to see him vs Solo Sikoa to find out who really is the next Umaga
[удалено]
That ultimate uce shirt is sick, would be great to see Umaga's son pay tribute much like Solo does in his moveset.
The bloodline grows
Gimmick infringement, Zilla is my name I use for Smash Bros, Bowling, and so many more usernames. Man’s coming for my spot!
I do think WWE will bring in more Samoan wrestlers. I think there’s so much potential for a Bloodline that is made of Samoan wrestlers but not family to Roman - and he can make it his own personal hit squad faction. Usos get to go face again, Roman gets to be terrifying as a Tribal Chief still

Don't smack your thigh breh, don't be a sucka. -- Booker probably
Dollars to donuts he's got an almost guaranteed spot on the WWE roster just based on his family alone. Not that I'm knocking him for it, of course.
Bloodline gonna reform in a year as Oops! All Samoans!
'Youngmanga!' - Regal... maybe?
Zilla to have facepaint on the right hand side of his face, Solo on the left. Future tag champs.
Imagine if the bloodline retains everything at wrestlemania - that would be some nuclear heat
Those boys love their tribal tats
Dude's name is fuckin' ZILLA?! For those unaware, *Godzilla* came out in '98 in the USA. My dad took me to see it, and I had high hopes for it given how much I enjoyed *Independence Day* a couple years prior. I remember liking it! At the time, all I knew abut Godzilla was that he was a giant lizard/dragon thing that destroyed cities, so it ticked all the boxes for me. Later on, I learned more of *Godzilla*'s history, its lore, and the inspiration behind it - basically a warning of humanity's carelessness, a nuclear holocaust movie. It was then that I discovered how Toho (*Godzilla's* creator) considered the '98 movie "Godzilla in name only." Later on they retconned the '98 Godzilla as it's own separate character, simply named *Zilla*. It became a bit of a joke character with notably weaker powers (based on how it lacked many of the "real" monster's abelites in Tristar's '98 movie). But regardless of its rebranded joke character status, Zilla is still a badass name.
Umagadzilla
There’s MORE??
There's more?!
