Hikuleo is the brother of Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa!
Roman Reigns has been on a long hiatus since WrestleMania 40. The Tribal Chief left the Bloodline alone and this caused a huge change in the faction. Solo Sikoa, who was once claimed to be the Tribal Heir by Roman Reigns, claimed himself as Tribal Chief and started making his own rules for the Bloodline. Solo Sikoa has kicked off all the existing members in the faction and recruited several new faces from the Anoa’i family, who are claimed to be extremely dangerous.
Solo has been unveiling new Bloodline members one after another on various occasions and now has Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu by his side and has been trying to overcome Roman Reigns. As most of them are waiting for Roman to make his return, the rumors suggest that he won’t be coming back alone, but with a mighty debutant.
Roman Reigns to return with Hikuleo?
According to the latest report by PWinsider, Roman Reigns is expected to make his WWE return at the 2024 SummerSlam PLE. Following that multiple sources also believe that Roman could be back at SummerSlam, but they are unsure about his in-ring participation.
As Roman’s return has been merely confirmed from the backstage reports, there is a big rumor circulating his return claiming that Roman won’t be coming alone, as he could bring Jimmy Uso and Hikuleo (Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa’s brother) by his side. The rumors suggest that Roman along with Jimmy & Hikuleo could interfere during the Cody Rhodes vs Solo Sikoa match and cost Solo his championship match.
This being said, Hikuleo is currently a free agent and has not been contracted by WWE yet. The 6 foot 8 star has previously worked for NJPW, where his contract expired in early July 2024. Since WWE hasn’t signed him and is not building any storylines for him, his appearance is likely to not happen by SummerSlam.
However, WWE’s recent trademark filings on the name ‘Talla Tonga’ give hope that he could potentially return as a surprise package. There is no other person more suitable for the name ‘Talla Tonga’ than Hikuleo, as he is the brother of the Tongans.
All these are just speculations and rumors and nothing is confirmed yet. We need to wait until there is an official announcement or until SummerSlam 2024. Are you excited about the 2024 SummerSlam PLE? Share your thoughts in the comments.
