Roman Reigns is expected to be back on WWE airwaves soon, and he could have a new member in his version of the Bloodline.
One of the top stories on WWE Smackdown since April has been the rise of Solo Sikoa into a leadership role for the Bloodline. The younger brother of Jimmy and Jey Uso has taken control of the faction by force and recently tossed out wise man Paul Heyman.

One of the key parts of his usurping the throne from Reigns is bringing in new, dangerous members to the group. Over the last couple of months, former NJPW stars Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa have joined the faction. As well as independent star, and relative, Jacob Fatu.
There have also been rumors for months that another NJPW veteran, Hikuleo, could also sign with the company. Well, on Friday, Fightful Select reported that sources confirmed to them that Hikuleo has indeed put pen to paper on a WWE contract. He finished his obligations to New Japan a month ago.
Hikuleo’s WWE signing is confirmed, is joining Roman Reigns’ Bloodline next?
Reigns is not going to be a member of Sikoa’s Bloodline. This means he is badly outnumbered in a potential battle against them. Many expect The Usos to eventually reunite and mend fences with the former Tribal Chief. However, that still leaves them down a man in the fight. That is why it is a near-lock Hikuleo joins the OG version of the group led by Reigns.
Bringing Sami Zayn back into the fold would be a lot of fun. But the NJPW veteran is a talented prospect who could be groomed into a worthwhile member of the roster under the tutelage of Roman Reigns and the Usos. It is unclear when Hikuleo will make his debut with the company.
