Zilla Fatu was the second person invited to the John Cena Classic tournament after receiving a personal invitation from Cena himself during NXT last night.

Cena told the young Fatu that he wrestled a lot of Samoans throughout his career, including Rikishi, The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Solo Sikoa.

“And I absolutely loved your father,” Cena said regarding Umaga.

He said it was an honor for him to give Zilla this opportunity to participate because his family did a lot for him, a comment which made Zilla tear up.

Zilla thanked Cena, saying that he’s blessed that he’s giving him this opportunity and hugged him to end the segment.
