Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline is expanding in all ways. After Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, another notable wrestler is on the verge of joining the fan-favorite stable. And it’s not who you think. The entire wrestling universe is still awaiting Jacob Fatu’s heavily rumored Bloodline debut. Fatu has already signed with WWE since WrestleMania. However, the Stamford-based promotion has yet to utilize him in their weekly programming. Speculation has suggested that he hasn’t debuted due to some creative concerns.

Nevertheless, WWE has looked to pastures anew as they have seemingly recruited another star from NJPW.

Is a new Bloodline member looming near? 

Hikuleo, 33, was already among the frontrunners among the potential Bloodline signees. Lady Luck shone brightly on WWE’s prospects of signing the star after reports emerged that his NJPW contract ended on June 9. Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa’s brother, Hikukeo has made waves in the pro-wrestling business with his stint in Japan.

Making a grand NPJW debut, back in 2016, Haku’s non-biological son has come a long way in acquiring a series of honors, including being a two-time Strong Openweight Tag Team Champion. He also made his presence in AEW back in 2021 and wrestled a few matches in Impact Wrestling. Now, Triple H has come calling and the veteran is also ready to give a better edge to his career. A wrestling insider suggested that the WWE is on the cusp of signing the 33-year-old.

The latest report from Dave Meltzer noted, ”We did get a confirmation from the WWE side that Hikuleo is coming in after what appeared to be the farewell scene in the post-match after he had been pinned at yesterday’s Dominion show in Osaka.”

Does that mean a Bloodline entry will come off as a bonus? Well, while the chance is high, WWE can still put him back for the same reason they keep Fatu out of the Samoan family tree to date.

Why Jacob Fatu still didn’t make it to the Bloodline?

Not only Bloodline is transforming but the self-acclaimed leader of the group Solo Sikoa is also rapidly growing and evolving in his career. With the additional responsibility in hand, the former Right-Hand Man solidified his team, bringing two new game-changing factors into the saga and together they are going after some big titles. Some recent reports suggested that WWE doesn’t want to break that spree right now and they are having trepidations about booking Jacob Fatu, as they believe it might be an inhibitor to Solo Sikoa’s glory. 

Also, bringing Fatu to a warm response on the night of SummerSlam could be their plan to make the most out of it. And, for Hikuleo, they can follow the same rule. What’s your take on WWE indicating a new Bloodline entry despite Jacob Fatu being at the top of the rumor? Let us know in the comments.
