    Zilla Fatu, "WWE NXT"

    Zilla Fatu joins The Collection fresh off the biggest moment of his career — his surprise WWE debut on the August 11, 2026 episode of NXT, where he crashed the No. 1 Contender's match and dropped Samoan Splashes on both Cruz Montana and Grayson Waller. The 26-year-old son of the late Umaga got his start right here in Houston under Booker T at Reality of Wrestling, debuting at Summer of Champions IX in 2023 before building his name on the indies with GCW and House of Glory. He closed that chapter on August 7, dropping the HOG Crown Jewel Championship to Amazing Red in a farewell send-off. Brad and Zilla get into carrying the Fatu name, his father's legacy, the road from ROW to the Performance Center, and what's next in NXT. The Collection is hosted by Brad Gilmore.
