Elsewhere in WWE, WrestleVotes on Fightful Select learned that internally, it is expected that Zilla Fatu will be on the WWE main roster before long. Those within the company believe that pairing him with his cousins this early in his WWE run could set the stage for long-term success.WrestleVotes was told that the Zilla vignette that aired on Monday Night Raw was not only designed to help promote NXT Heatwave, where Fatu will be challenging for the NXT Championship, but it also served as a soft introduction of Fatu for those WWE audience members who may not be familiar with him.The idea is to establish that family connection now, as opposed to waiting until it is time to call Zilla up to the main roster.
