There are many professional wrestlers who are simply waiting to make an impact in WWE and one such name is Hikuleo. After signing with WWE earlier this year, fans were waiting to see when he would debut in the company. In the meantime, it appears Hikuleo has been added to the internal WWE NXT roster.
The Bloodline has gone through many changes, with Solo Sikoa taking over as the ‘Head of the Table.’ This also marked the WWE debut of the Guerrillas of Destiny, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, followed by Jacob Fatu joining WWE as well.
Hikuleo ended his time with NJPW at the Dominion event on June 9, which was a big step toward WWE. This move fits earlier rumors, especially because of Hikuleo’s family connection to The Bloodline storyline. Hikuleo had already confirmed in November 2023 that he was in talks with WWE, building excitement for his potential debut.
According to a report by PWInsider Elite, Hikuleo has been added internally to the WWE NXT roster. Naturally, this is a big move for Hikuleo, but it more or less confirms he won’t be joining The Bloodline just yet.
We have also reported on WWE’s plans for Hikuleo’s debut with The Bloodline ahead of Survivor Series. Nonetheless, we will have to wait and see how Hikuleo will fare as part of WWE’s developmental brand, as fans are definitely excited for his impending debut.
