Potential New Bloodline Member Set To Debut On WWE SmackDown

WWE SmackDown

A new superstar may get introduced to The Bloodline storyline on this week’s SmackDown.

Solo Sikoa, the faction’s leader, suffered betrayal at the hands of Jacob Fatu at Money in the Bank PLE.

The Samoan Werewolf, along with his stablemate JC Mateo, made his presence felt during the men’s MITB match after Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed interfered on behalf of Seth Rollins.

After clearing the ring, Fatu helped Sikoa climb the ladder, but stopped him midway, attacked him, and later, put him through a ladder by the ringside.

Rollins ultimately grabbed the MITB briefcase, a second in his WWE career.

With one less member representing The Bloodline now, Solo Sikoa is in search of a replacement, and WWE may have found just the right man.

Hikuleo May Join The Bloodline On SmackDown

The Bloodline’s number has significantly dwindled; the legitimate injuries to Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga have kept them out, too.

With only Sikoa and Mateo now part of the faction, they may need backup soon.

Former New Japan Pro Wrestling star Hikuleo is expected to make his official WWE debut this week and join the pair, according to a recent report from PW Insider.

Hikuleo is the son of former wrestler Haku. He was trained by the Dudley Boyz and made his professional in-ring debut in 2016 with NJPW.

According to Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam, he signed with the Stamford-based company last year.

The 34-year-old star’s accomplishments in NJPW also include winning the tag team championship with El Phantasmo. Whether or not he crosses paths with Jacob Fatu remains to be seen.

In the meantime, fans are expected to be awed by the introduction of the 6’8 behemoth likely to take the company by storm.
