Zilla Fatu Teases NXT Appearance as He Aims to Seek Revenge on Ricky Saints

Zilla Fatu is determined to seek revenge on former NXT Champion Ricky Saints after the latter robbed him of a potential Reality of Wrestling Championship victory last month. And he’s not afraid to show up on NXT in the future to achieve his objective.

In December 2025, Fatu battled Danny Limelight, Ryan Davidson, and Will Allday in a four-way match for the ROW Championship at an event titled “Subzero.” In the closing moments of the match, a masked man took out Zilla with a Spear, allowing Danny Limelight to retain the title. The masked man later revealed himself to be Ricky Saints.

In a recent interaction with Denise Salcedo, Zilla Fatu said that Ricky Saints, or in his words, Ricky Skanks, is number one on his hit list. The real-life Bloodline member said while he was initially not aware of Saints, he has been doing his research on the NXT star and might even show up on WWE’s developmental show to seek retribution.

“On my last Reality of Wrestling show, I had business to do with Danny Limelight, and I was so close to getting my world championship back. So close! And then, guess what? I go for my Spike, I’m about to bring us home, I’m about to bring my belt to mama Zilla, and the next thing you know, blackout. I just got the air fucking speared out of me. And yes, it was Ricky Skanks. I didn’t know who he was, but I started doing my research from that day all the way to now, and guess what? Ricky Skanks—he’s number one on the hit list.

“I’m gonna get my get back. I’m not just at home, just sleeping and not doing anything. I’ve been putting in hours and hours trying to get my body right, my mental right, and it’s all going to be for Ricky Skanks. Next time, I won’t make the same mistakes as I made last year. Because last year, in 2025, I was so in love; I was so in love with everybody and guess where that got me to? Nowhere. So this year, 2026, I’m not trusting nobody, and I’m not showing no more love to anybody.

“You guys will catch me on NXT getting my get back on Ricky Skanks, but first, you never know. I might catch him at a Walmart; I might catch him at Waffle House; I might catch him at Whataburger. You never know, because if I catch him before then, he’s not going to make it to NXT.”
