Fatu delivers a blunt response after earning his first NXT victory
Summary
– Zilla Fatu defeated Tristan Angels for his first victory in NXT
– BirthRight approached Fatu afterward and invited him to join the group
– Fatu rejected the offer before BirthRight attempted to attack him
Zilla Fatu picked up his first victory in NXT before making it clear that he wants nothing to do with BirthRight.
Fatu battled Tristan Angels during the September 1 episode and overcame some early resistance before taking control of the match. After Angels missed a step-up enzuigiri, Fatu responded with a superkick and a massive Samoan drop. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Fatu then connected with the Triple Z and scored the three-count, officially earning his first NXT victory.
His celebration was quickly interrupted when BirthRight appeared and welcomed him to NXT before presenting him with an offer to join the group.
BirthRight argued that Fatu shares their connection to wrestling lineage and suggested they could run NXT together. They also claimed Fatu would struggle to become the top member of his own family with names such as Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu, and Solo Sikoa ahead of him.
The group promised that joining BirthRight would allow Fatu to become the “main one” while giving him protection from enemies throughout the NXT locker room.
Fatu listened to the pitch before delivering a simple answer.
“More like hell no.”
BirthRight reacted badly to the rejection and attempted to pursue Fatu.
The confrontation came after an important night for Fatu, who bounced back from his NXT Championship defeat at Heatwave by defeating Angels.
Fatu has repeatedly called himself the main one since arriving in NXT, and his response to BirthRight made it clear that he has no interest in joining another group to reach that position.
