At the Sub-Zero event in Texas City, a WWE star notably assaulted former Reality of Wrestling (ROW) champion Zira Fatu. The event, hosted by Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling on December 20th, 2025, featured a high-stakes four-way match for the ROW World Title, with Fatu facing Ryan Davidson, Danny Limelight, and Will Allday. Towards the end of the match, it seemed Fatu was about to secure his third ROW Championship; however, a hooded individual appeared, interrupted his Samoan spike, and struck him with a spear. The masked attacker was later unmasked as former WWE NXT Champion Ricky Saints.
Saints, who recently turned heel on WWE TV by costing Jevon Evans his NXT title shot against Oba Femi, is now aligned with Limelight, the reigning ROW Champion. Following the interference, Fatu warned Saints on Twitter, hinting at ongoing tension and potential clashes. He tagged WWE NXT in his tweets, suggesting a possible WWE crossover, though it’s uncertain if Fatu will appear on WWE programming after the incident.
This was not Fatu’s first attack this week; he was previously targeted by a cousin at a House of Glory event in New York City. The incident at Sub-Zero continues to escalate the drama around Fatu and Saints, setting the stage for future developments in both independent and WWE wrestling scenes.
Fan Take: This incident shines a spotlight on the blurred lines between indie wrestling and WWE, emphasizing how rivalries can transcend promotions and build major storylines. For WWE fans, it hints at exciting crossover potential and evolving character arcs that could add depth to future wrestling narratives.
