Zilla Fatu made an immediate impact by targeting the NXT Championship on the August 11 episode of WWE NXT.
Grayson Waller and Cruz Montana competed in the main event to determine who would challenge Tony D’Angelo for the title at Heatwave.
Montana appeared ready to secure the opportunity after dropping Waller with his Spin the Block clothesline.
Before Montana could make the cover, Fatu stormed into the ring and brought the match to an unexpected end.
Fatu attacked both competitors and delivered Samoan Splashes to Waller and Montana.
After leaving them down, he turned his attention toward the commentary desk, where D’Angelo was watching the match.
Fatu confronted the NXT Champion and announced that the new champion had arrived.
His interference prevented Waller and Montana from determining a winner while placing Fatu directly in the championship picture.
The appearance came shortly after Fatu lost the House of Glory Crown Jewel Championship to Amazing Red.
Fatu received a send-off from the House of Glory crowd following the match, creating speculation about the next step in his career.
That next step now appears to involve D’Angelo and the NXT Championship.
No championship match between Fatu and D’Angelo has officially been announced.
