A compelling development has surfaced regarding the potential expansion of WWE’s Bloodline faction following today’s NJPW event.
In recent times, the Bloodline has been undergoing significant transformations, notably with Solo Sikoa assuming the pivotal role of the ‘Head of the Table,’ accompanied by the debut of the Guerrillas of Destiny, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa in WWE.
While Tama and Tonga, both sons of the legendary wrestler Haku, have made waves in WWE, another member of this prestigious wrestling lineage has been making waves in NJPW. Hikuleo, a standout talent in NJPW, shares the same esteemed heritage as Tama and Tonga.
Earlier reports indicated that Hikuleo’s contract with NJPW was set to extend into June. However, following today’s NJPW Dominion event, an intriguing incident occurred. Hikuleo and his partner El Phantasmo suffered defeat in a high-stakes match, being the first team eliminated by the eventual winners, TMDK. After the event, a notable moment unfolded as Hikuleo embraced ELP and Jado before departing the press conference.
This pivotal match has sparked widespread speculation that it could signify Hikuleo’s final appearance in NJPW. Reports have been circulating suggesting WWE’s keen interest in him since January, despite a period when the company refrained from making new hires unofficially.
