Grayson Waller reacts to Zilla Fatu's debut on WWE NXT

"

Unlike most big recent additions to NXT like Mariah May, EVIL, and Mike Santana (who weren’t named in their first appearances before being introduced soon thereafter as Blake Monroe, Naraku, and Cruz Montana), WWE hyped Zilla Fatu by that name when he debuted last night (Aug. 11), and promoted his debut on social media the same way. If that wasn’t enough to convince you he wouldn’t soon become “Ucey McFang” (h/t M.G0MeEZ) or “El Hijo del Umaga” (h/t Josh Jagler*), this new WWE Shop listing should convince you: But that wasn’t the most interesting thing regarding the newest future Bloodline member to sign with WWE. I’m still on the fence with Grayson Waller’s new NXT gimmick as a straight-shooter who regularly drops pipe bombs, so his reaction to Zilla’s introduction having been at his and Montana’s expense last night caught my eye… Just what WWE needs, another overrated Uce Just what WWE needs, another overrated Uce — Grayson Waller (@GraysonWWE) August 12, 2026 Is Zilla Fatu “another overrated Uce” who shouldn’t get to keep his pre-WWE name? Will Waller get over a WILD CARD? Let us know what you think in the comments below, Cagesiders. * And as I told Josh in the Cageside “offices”, I’m stealing this and will be using it from time-to-time.
