This week’s episode of TNA Impact Wrestling featured a new promo highlighting Real1 (formerly WWE cruiserweight champion Enzo Amore), who taunted the upcoming Slammiversary Pay-Per-View event this Sunday. In the clip, Real1 announced his intention to attend the show with a special "friend," sparking rumors that this new faction may be aiming to make a significant statement at one of TNA’s biggest annual events.
In particular, Real1 mentioned he would bring along "heavyweight champion Zilla Fatu," the son of the late WWE legend Umaga and a member of the renowned Anoaire Wrestling family. Zilla Fatu holds the fourth rope press ring heavyweight title, a championship within the wrestling promotion Fourth Rope, which was founded in 2024 by rapper West Side Gun and merges music, arts, and culture with wrestling. Additionally, Real1 appeared alongside someone referred to as a "bishop," widely believed to be Joshua Bishop.
