Lance Anoa'i discussed the possibility of signing with WWE
In recent months, The Bloodline has recruited several new members, including their latest addition, Jacob Fatu. During The Samoan Werewolf's time in Major League Wrestling (MLW), he teamed up with Lance Anoa'i.
While speaking in an interview with WrestlingNewsCo, Lance was asked about the possibility of joining WWE. He stated that there has not been any discussion regarding signing with the Stamford-based company but he was focused on preparing himself when the time comes.
"[There's been] no discussion at all, nothing at all. I haven't heard from [WWE]. Like I said, I talk to my cousins every day. I don't know if they got something brewing that I don't know about, but I just got to keep preparing myself, and be ready for when that time comes, and I'm ready to go," Lance Anoa'i said.
