Zilla Fatu To Face Charlie Dempsey On 9/8 WWE NXT

Zilla Fatu will be in action on Tuesday’s NXT.

In a social media video, William Regal spoke with his son Charlie Dempsey, discussing his history with Umaga, the father of Zilla.

Regal said Dempsey needed to handle things on his own.

Later in the evening, Shawn Michaels confirmed that Dempsey will face Zilla on Tuesday’s NXT.
