The Bloodline could invite one more wrestler to join the faction after the two Tongan brothers and the notable figure in question is Hikuleo. Speculation has arisen online regarding the NJPW wrestler joining his siblings by their side in WWE. One sign that has led fans to speculate is that his contract with the Japanese promotion ends in June with no updates about re-signing.

Since his connections with the Stamford-based company appear to be getting more concrete with time, an industry insider has shared his opinion on the storyline that WWE could be cooking for him.

WWE tipped to be careful with Hikuleo’s involvement

A few days ago, news broke out on the internet regarding a new name for which WWE has filed a trademark. The name was reported to be “Talla Tonga”. During a recent Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez connected the new name to Hikuleo as he is also “tall“. He suggested that the trademark was filed for him as he could sign with the leading wrestling promotion with his NJPW contract ending this month. Afraid about The Bloodline’s future in the promotion, Alvarez said, “Talla Tonga, is just preposterous. I was watching that WCW special. And, you know, they were talking about how, how many people do we need this NWO? Just keeps expanding… It was gigantic. And then, you know, they had a couple of other people, and then it stopped. It stopped being good at that.

The Wrestling Observer podcaster is afraid that Hikuleo’s involvement in The Bloodline could sacrifice quality for quantity. Alvarez suggested that perhaps too many cooks in the kitchen could spoil the broth. Currently, the only confirmation we have on the subject is the dots that Bryan Alvarez connected between the name Talla Tonga and Hikuleo’s height.

If the speculations are correct, then WWE may try to even out the odds.

A Tribal battle could soon transpire in the squared circle

Ever since he lost the title at WrestleMania XL, fans have been booking for Roman Reigns to get kicked out of his own family stable. There’s a rumor that his involvement with The Bloodline may end after he returns to find that Solo Sikoa and the Tongan brothers have taken over. This is when The Tribal Chief could face an ejection and turn face along with The Usos. This would make a solid three vs. three scenario. However, since Jacob Fatu could also make his way to the WWE and potentially help out his cousins, it would make sense that WWE added one more wrestler in The Bloodline to even out the two sides.

Do you think Hikuleo’s involvement could create a mess as Bryan Alvarez mentioned?
