Former NJPW star Hikuleo was signed months ago as a new rumored member of the Bloodline. A new report has revealed if WWE plans to have him appear on television anytime soon.
The Bloodline has been the center of top storylines in WWE for the last five years. During that time, the faction saw an influx of talented stars from the Anoa’i Family. These include Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. All of them have either fought against or side by side with star relatives, Roman Reigns and The Usos.

Another wrestler who has long been rumored to join the faction is NJOW veteran Hikuleo. According to previous reports, he signed with WWE last year but has yet to make his debut on television. He has been speculated to arrive on the scene for a long time with some rumors claiming he would compete in NXT.
However, a new report points to a potential debut on the main roster at “anytime.”
Is Hikuleo headed to the WWE main roster soon?
“I can see him debuting anytime,” Dave Meltzer claimed on a new edition of Wrestling Observer Radio. “He’s been under contract for like, not quite a year, but it’s a long time he’s been there. And for whatever reason, they’ve made the call not to debut him.
“They don’t want to debut him on NXT too early, if at all. So maybe they’re just kind of keeping him, trying to get him up to speed, so to speak. But yeah, he’s been there for a long time.”
Hikuleo was a notable performer in New Japan Pro Wrestling and other promotions in recent years. He left NJPW in June 2024 and was reportedly added to the WWE’s internal NXT roster. Furthermore, he also carries the rich lineage of the Anoa’i Family, being the adopted son of Haku and brother of current WWE stars, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
