Missing WWE Star Spotted In Saudi Arabia Ahead Of Night Of Champions

An interesting name has been spotted in Saudi Arabia.

Despite signing with WWE in July 2024, former NJPW star Hikuleo has yet to be seen on television for his new company. The former Bullet Club member only had his first match in WWE on June 13th, 2025, when he defeated Kit Wilson in a dark match.

He followed that up with another dark match win over Ryan Mattias ahead of the June 20 edition of SmackDown.

There has been no explanation as to why he’s taken eleven months to get in the ring for WWE, but now his ascent to the company’s main roster looks to be imminent.

Hikuleo To Make On-Screen WWE Debut?

As noted by Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Hikuleo has been spotted in Saudi Arabia ahead of the two upcoming tapings in the kingdom. While there’s no confirmation that he’ll appear on either show, it’s highly unlikely that he would be flown over with the rest of the roster if he weren’t going to be used.

There has already been speculation that he could be involved in the United States Championship between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa at Night of Champions.

In a separate report, Johnson stated that a face-off between John Cena and CM Punk will headline the June 27 edition of SmackDown.

Meanwhile, the winner of the King of the Ring tournament has reportedly been revealed. That same report also gave an update on who is scheduled to win the Undisputed WWE Championship match between John Cena and CM Punk.
