When Is Zilla Fatu's First Match In WWE?
Zilla Fatu made his first WWE appearance on the August 11 episode of NXT. It was so great to see him finally land with WWE and I'm rooting for him as much as I have any young superstar who has found their way there. He attacked Grayson Waller and Cruz Montana, thereby blowing up the No. 1 Contenders match. Fatu could have his first match on an episode of NXT on August 18 or even August 25, but I'm expecting a Fatal 4-Way at Heatwave with Fatu battling Waller, Montana and the champion Tony D'Angelo.
Jason Powell reached the same four-way conclusion at Pro Wrestling Dot Net.
Will Roman Reigns Show Up at Ola de Calor?
It's a longshot, but with the final for the tournament to face Reigns set for the day after the PLE, WWE could drive even more viewers to the August 31 episode of Raw that will determine the OTC's next title challenger.
Reigns is announced for Raw on August 17 and August 31, not for Edinburg.
