Latest on Hikuleo

The Bloodline angle continues, but two names still haven't appeared on WWE TV.

In 2024, Fightful Select had reported that both Hikuleo and Lance Anoa'i had been signed to WWE deals. Shortly after Lance signed, it was known that he was injured and would be out of action well into 2025. We've not heard of that changing.

Hikuleo hasn't wrestled since the June 9, 2024 show that saw him lose the IWGP Tag Team Titles. However, we were told that he has been on the WWE internal roster for months. When we asked main roster creative sources we're told that they were made aware he was signed, but he wasn't factored into creative plans upon him being signed. We're working on an update about his status, but he is listed in the company internally.

Wwe has more to spend. More shows. A pc development. And more signed then any other company.

every company does that

Collin Ingram

Agreed especially on that last part

Absolutely. Another downside of big wrestling companies

Seems as if both companies have been doing this lately, which is just bad business. Not to mention it hurts the smaller promotions who can really use talent.

Todd Silvers

Wwe just signing everyone with no plans

I have a feeling the Rock will use him in the Rhodes/Cena fight at WM. It would make sense not to use anyone from either faction of the Bloodline until that whole thing sorts itself out. But just a theory.

Put him and Lance on Evolve, let them be Jacob Fatu heaters. You have them in your tag team and you can have Tama Tonga do singles stuff in either mid card or NXT, while Jacob Fatu wins those top titles. That's what we need

Matthew Brownlee

Ouch. Sounds like a "don't call us, we'll call you" kind of thing

Alicia Williamson

They probably signed him to keep him away from AEW, which is crazy because they just holding this guy for nothing. Just release him if you not gonna use him. He could probably return to NJPW

Adrian Carpenter

So basically they just signed him for nothing

Unknown

Think we’re looking at another Eric Young situation
