Hikuleo Joins WWE NXT Roster

Hikuleo, the former NJPW star and brother of Tama Tonga and Tango Loa, has officially signed with WWE and is currently listed on the internal roster for NXT, marking a strategic decision by WWE to develop his skills before a main roster debut. This move contrasts with his family members, who joined directly on the main roster, and is expected to enhance the ongoing Bloodline storyline in the future. His last match was in June 2024 at NJPW's Dominion event, and he has previously held multiple championships in NJPW. Meanwhile, concerns have been raised regarding Jimmy Uso's absence from WWE programming, with speculation around his health, although reports suggest he is 'fine' and absent for creative reasons. Additionally, Zilla Fatu, another member of the Fatu family, recently missed events after a pay dispute with GCW, clarifying he is not signed with WWE. Fans are eagerly awaiting Hikuleo's debut in NXT, especially given the Bloodline connections.
