With just a blink of an eye, The Bloodline has seemingly roped in yet another member. Having said that, former NJPW Strong Openweight Champion Hikuleo has signed with WWE, per Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful. The 31-year-old is the brother of current Bloodline members Tama Tonga and the infamous Tonga Loa.
Hikuleo was believed to be WWE-bound as soon as he finished up with NJPW in June. He last wrestled El Phantasmo at Dominion. His reported signing comes on the heels of the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline having unbridled influence on SmackDown. Former MLW Champion Jacob Fatu recently debuted in WWE and immediately served his allegiance to The Street Champion.
And who knows if Hikuleo is the one to follow suit next? Even though he’s signed the contract, there’s no date set in stone for his debut. It might take a while. Barring Tonga Loa’s arrival at the Backlash PLE in France, every other member of the rogue Bloodline has emerged on different editions of SmackDown.
Be it Tama Tonga, who first arrived on the scene post-WrestleMania XL, or Jacob Fatu, who made his presence felt in a resounding showing in Chicago, attacking Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton. Everything’s happening in Roman Reigns‘ absence, and he might not be The Tribal Chief anymore.
As declared by Solo a few weeks ago on SmackDown, he has now assumed charge of The Bloodline. If Reigns were to reclaim that distinction, he could try, claimed Sikoa. There seems to be chaos all over the place. There has to be someone to restore order within the Bloodline, and who better than their ex-Tribal Chief to do so?
Will The Bloodline-backed Solo Sikoa upset Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam?
In his first-ever world title shot on the main roster, Solo Sikoa is set to take on Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam. Last week on SmackDown, Sikoa, along with his Bloodline goons, flattened Randy Orton with a vicious assault.
The American Nightmare was restless and couldn’t do anything about his friend being laid down to death. Rhodes now finds himself in a precarious situation. With Bloodline adding new members every now and then, it’s only going to get worse for The Prodigal Son.
What if Hikuleo adds insult to the injury on Rhodes at SummerSlam in his all-important title showdown with Sikoa? The possibilities are endless, just like Roman Reigns potentially returning to get his pound of flesh.
