Following Jacob Fatu’s betrayal of Solo Sikoa at Money in the Bank 2025, fans have wondered if The Bloodline, as we knew it, is finished. However, as per a new report, a new member of the Tongan family could be on his way up to the main roster and could appear on the upcoming episode of SmackDown.
For months, dissension was being teased within The Bloodline, with the United States Champion not getting along well with other members of the stable, especially Solo Sikoa. Though it looked like The Samoan Werewolf was helping Sikoa bring the MITB contract down, he stunned fans by pulling him down at the last moment.
Fatu then proceeded to brutalize Sikoa, which effectively ruled him out of the match. While fans were already excited to see the aftermath of the shocking turn of events on SmackDown, WWE is now seemingly planning another massive angle. As per PWInsider, Hikuleo, who has reportedly been under contract with the company for close to a year now, could be backstage at this week’s Friday night show.
Check out the post below.
Going by the reports, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Triple H potentially introduce him to fans as soon as this week. It’ll also be interesting to see if he aligns with Solo Sikoa‘s Bloodline or joins forces with Jacob Fatu, who’s on his own now.
