Zilla Fatu has arrived in WWE NXT, making a statement as he laid out both Cruz Montana and Grayson Waller during their match. Tuesday night’s show featured Montana and Waller battling in a #1 contenders match when Fatu showed up and broke up the match in his first appearance on the brand.

The two stars were fighting for a shot at the NXT Championship with Tony D’Angelo looking on from commentary. At almost 13 minutes into the match, Waller was down and Montana was getting ready for Spin the Block when Fatu slid into the ring behind him and hit a Samoan Drop. The crowd popped loud for Fatu as the bell rung, and Fatu then laid out Waller with a Superman Punch before going up top for splashes to both men.

Fatu then pointed at D’Angelo and said he wanted his title, as D’Angelo looked on. You can see clips from the match below.

Fatu, who is a member of the Anoa’i Family that includes The Bloodline, received a send off from House Of Glory at their show over the weekend. He has been wrestling for three years and is a former HOG Crown Jewel Champio and 4th Rope Heavyweight Champion.
