An independent wrestling star has responded to fans chanting their name during a recent WWE event, fueling speculation about a possible WWE signing. The rumors intensified after former NXT Champion Ricky Saints attacked Zira on Reality of Wrestling’s Sub-Zero show last December. At the NXT New Year’s Evil event on January 6, Ricky Saints—who is the son of the late WWE icon Umaga—noted the crowd’s enthusiastic chanting of Zira’s name.
In an interview with Dennis Salcedo, Zira shared her reaction:
“It felt incredible. It was such a humbling and amazing moment for me and everyone involved. When I began, I had no idea where my wrestling journey would take me.”
She added, “It’s surreal to hear fans shouting my name on TV. I only found out the next day when friends and family sent me videos of the crowd chanting at NXT. It was truly a special and humbling experience.”
Zira Fatu also addressed the ongoing rumors regarding her potential WWE debut, which you can read about in more detail here.
Fan Take: This development is exciting for WWE enthusiasts because it signals fresh talent gaining genuine fan support, which keeps the roster dynamic and unpredictable. If Zira officially joins WWE, it could bring a new wave of energy and storytelling potential to the promotion, benefiting the sport as a whole.
