Tama Tonga debuted in WWE soon after WrestleMania XL in the absence of the original leader of the stable. He was later on joined by his brother Tonga Loa. Despite the two being Tongans instead of descendants of the Samoan lineage, they were welcomed as new members of the heel stable by both fans and Solo Sikoa.
Now, it appears that they will be introducing their third sibling into the Anoa’i family stable as well. The rumors have been going around about Hikuleo’s addition to The Bloodline and his latest post just adds to the story.

The rumors of Hikuleo’s WWE signing started with the reports that his NJPW contract was coming to a close this June. Reports about the promotion filing trademark for the name “Talla Tonga” increased suspicion among fans as an industry insider connected that name to Hikuleo. Now, the Tongan wrestler posted a picture on his Instagram, potentially as a farewell to his time in the Japanese wrestling circuit. In the image, we can see him standing in the frame alongside an ally, pointing his index finger to the sky, the iconic Bloodline symbol.

This appears to be a hint at the rumors that the internet wrestling community has been receiving. Moreover, both of his brothers ‘acknowledged’ him by liking the post, showing that they oversee his actions. Could this be an informal welcome before Hikuleo joins WWE as Talla Tonga?

If he appears in the Stamford-based company as a wrestler on the main roster, then we may see The Bloodline inviting one more Tongan to finish the booking.
Possibility of Tama Tonga’s father showing up
With the new members getting continuously added to the stable, there are rumors that The Bloodline is set to split into two factions. With The Usos already out of the team because of different reasons, Roman Reigns will join them as he returns to find out that Solo Sikoa has taken over the stable. He might be followed by Paul Heyman due to how loyal he is to his Tribal Chief.

In the absence of a good manager, the new Bloodline might call in King Haku to help them. Although this is a fantasy booking by a podcaster so far, this doesn’t seem too far-fetched with the storyline that is currently going on.
