Hikuleo may be next seen on Tuesday nights.
In July, it was reported that Hikuleo was believed to have signed with WWE. Instantly, most assumed that the 33-year-old would be joining up with his brothers Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa on Friday Night SmackDown as part of The Bloodline, however it now appears as if that isn’t the case when it comes to Hikuleo in WWE.
Per PWInsider Elite, it’s believed that Hikuleo has been added to the internally to the NXT roster.

With this, it now seems as if Hikuleo could very possibly be calling NXT his home when it comes time for his WWE debut. For now, it’s unclear when or where the company have earmarked for his arrival, but it appears the former NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion will be separate from The Bloodline in WWE.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on the plans for Hikuleo in WWE as soon as we hear more.
