WWE updates: Zilla Fatu debut, Solo Sikoa return, and Crown Jewel status

WWE is managing several talent developments and event scheduling updates. Zilla Fatu debuted on NXT without a name change, as the company reportedly intended for him to keep his established name from the start. Similarly, Elijah Holyfield is being sent to AAA to develop as a standalone superstar for that promotion rather than following the traditional NXT path.

In storyline developments, Solo Sikoa has been forced to rejoin The Bloodline following a loss to Jey Uso on Monday Night RAW. On the event side, WWE maintains that Crown Jewel remains on the 2026 live event calendar, though the company is monitoring geopolitical stability in the Middle East.

Additionally, TikTok star Matt Mathews is scheduled to appear on Monday Night RAW in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 7.
