The Bloodline stands as one of professional wrestling’s most dominant factions, with its influence steadily expanding, particularly in the absence of Roman Reigns. Intriguingly, Hikuleo is poised to join WWE, and recent revelations shed light on the potential direction for his tenure within the company.
Lately, The Bloodline has gone through significant changes, with Solo Sikoa stepping into the role of the ‘Head of the Table.’ This transition also marked the WWE debut of the Guerrillas of Destiny, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa.
We have already reported that Hikuleo wrapped up his tenure with NJPW at the Dominion event on June 9 and that the 33-year-old wrestler is poised to transition to WWE. This move correlates with earlier speculations, particularly considering Hikuleo’s family connections and the ongoing narrative revolving around The Bloodline. Notably, Hikuleo himself confirmed in November 2023 that he had been in talks with WWE, intensifying anticipation surrounding his potential debut with the company.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about WWE’s likely plans for Hikuleo once he debuts in WWE. He pointed out that Hikuleo has been on WWE’s radar for a long time and that he could easily join Roman Reigns’ crew or the other Bloodline members, as they will all take up the main event spots before WrestleMania 41.
”I can’t say for when Hikuleo first started, but once he got fairly good he was on WWE’s radar at that point, and it was just a question of getting him enough experience and I think he’s got it. They don’t have any giants right now, I mean if you really think about it. Braun Strowman is the biggest guy right? And Hikuleo’s several inches taller than him.
Maybe he’s in Roman’s crew, maybe he’s in the other crew there’s room for a lot of islanders in that promotion right now because they’re going to be taking up a lot of the main event spots come WrestleMania and before I think.”
Given Hikuleo’s esteemed lineage as the son of Haku and the younger brother of Tama Tonga, his forthcoming entry into WWE to bolster The Bloodline faction stands as a compelling likelihood. It remains to be seen whether he will end up siding with Roman Reigns or Solo Sikoa once he makes his way to WWE.
