Booker T is set to face Zilla Fatu on January 11th at a Reality of Wrestling event.

The match for the promotion, which the WWE Hall of Famer owns, will mark his first public wrestling match since he participated in the 2023 WWE men’s Royal Rumble match.

Fan-shot footage from Sunday’s ROW Breakout event shows Fatu challenging Booker on the mic. After asking the crowd whether they wanted to see the match, he agreed.

Zilla Fatu is the son of former WWE wrestler Umaga and is a member of the Anoa’i family. He was trained in part by Booker T.

Fatu, 25, has wrestled for multiple indie promotions including ROW, House of Glory, and Game Changer Wrestling.

However, GCW announced in September that it had “reached an impasse” with him and that they would no longer work with him “for the foreseeable future”.

Booker T, 59, has not wrestled a singles match since January 2019, when he defeated Rex Andrews at ROW The Last Stand.
