Jey and Zilla are cousins. On an episode of WrestleVotes on Fightful Select, the following was reported about Zilla:
“It’s expected internally that Zilla Fatu will be on the WWE main roster before long, @WrestleVotes Radio on @FightfulSelect has learned.
Those within the company believe that pairing him with his cousins this early in his WWE run could set the stage for the long term.
We are also told that his WWE Raw vignette was not only to advertise Heatwave, but it also served as a soft introduction of Zilla for those WWE audience members who may not be familiar with him.”
The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso & Jacob Fatu) are featured on the Monday Night Raw brand.
