Is Hikuleo’s Real Name Talla Tonga & What’s His Relationship With Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa?

The Bloodline continues to assert dominance in the wrestling realm despite Roman Reigns’ and The Rock’s absences. Thanks to the timely takeover of Solo Sikoa as the new Tribal Chief. It eventually appended the likes of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa as the two pillarstones of the new revamped Bloodline. The formidable trio has been spreading terror in the house ever since.

Despite their already impressive numbers, the stable could add a new member soon with Hikuleo arriving from the land of the rising sun.

Who is Talla Tonga, the expected Bloodline member? 

The real-life brother of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa has reportedly signed with WWE after wrapping up his NPJW commitments at the Dominion event on June 9. The ever-shifting Blloodline dynamic and his familial connection with the new members could accelerate his potential Blloodline debut. Blazing it up even more, WWE filed an official trademark for him, and here’s how it bears a crucial significance.

The monikers inside the ring shape up the wrestler’s role to a great extent. Hence it becomes their parallel identity even outside the ring. Recently Tama Tonga earned an intimidating nickname ‘MFT’ at the hands of his Tribal Chief. But the meaning of it was largely vague. Although Tonga has later clarified that it denotes, ‘‘Mother F’n Tonga”, WWE replaced it with a discerned name, the ‘Right-Hand Man’, to Sikoa. Likewise, his brother Tonga Loa was referred to as ‘Infamous Tanga Loa’. Now, coming to the other Tangoan brother, the unofficial Bloodline member, Hikuleo, got his trademark of Talla Tonga on June 11.

If we track down the origin of it, we can spot the middle name of Hikuleo (Tautuiaki Taula Koloamatangi) as ‘Talua’, making more sense of his new trademark. Also, the last name, ‘Tonga’, clearly indicates that he is going to be an indispensable part of the Bloodline.

Let’s have a quick look at Hikuleo’s esteemed family lineage.

Hikuleo’s connection with the Tangoan lineage: Explained

Hikuleo is the other adopted son of Haku, the half-brother of Tama Tonga, and the adopted brother of Tonga Loa. Although the gifted wrestler belongs to the Tangoan ethnicity, he was born and brought up in the US. He started pursuing his wrestling career in Japan in 2016 as Leo Tonga. His wrestling blood eventually started to bear fruit as he cemented his stature in NPJW as a member of the Guerrillas of Destiny faction. It was the time when his ‘Hikuleo’ identity came into existence. In Tangoan mythology, Hikuleo stands for ‘the goddess of the world”(Havea Hikuleʻo).’

Now, it will be interesting to see if Talla Tonga can outdo both Leo Tonga and Hikuleo alongside the other Tangoan brothers by his side. What’s your take on Hikuleo’s new nickname and its significant connection to his family line? Let us know in the comments.
