The Anoa’i family is legendary in the wrestling world. For over forty years, this Samoan clan has given WWE some of its biggest stars – think The Rock, Yokozuna, Rikishi, Rocky Johnson, and Peter Maivia.

Could Hikuleo Be the Next Bloodline Star?
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has spilled the beans on Bloodline member Hikuleo. It turns out that Hikuleo is already part of the WWE system. He’s currently training and, good news – he’s not injured. The buzz is that he’ll probably debut in WWE NXT.
“For those asking about Hikuleo, he is in the system. He’s not injured. At some point, he’ll debut, most likely in NXT. But he’s training,” the outlet revealed.
Hikuleo, a second-generation wrestler and the adopted son of Haku, is connected to The Bloodline. He made a name for himself on the independent circuit and was a standout in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) for years. His NJPW stint wrapped up at the Dominion event on June 9.
Earlier reports from PWInsider Elite indicated that Hikuleo was added to the WWE NXT roster behind the scenes. With this fresh update, it’s clear that his debut might be sooner rather than later, adding another exciting chapter to the Bloodline saga. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for Hikuleo!
