Real-life Bloodline member's name to be changed when he debuts in WWE (Exclusive)
The Bloodline has been the major focus of WWE storylines over the last few years. This angle has taken several twists and turns and currently stands at the point where Solo Sikoa is leading the group while Roman Reigns has been fighting to get back control.
Back in July 2024, reports emerged that another Samoan, Hikuleo, had signed a contract with WWE. Later, wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer confirmed that news and mentioned that the former IWGP Tag Team Champion could appear on NXT.
This week during a Q&A session, WrestleVotes mentioned that WWE was already drawing out plans for the star. They detailed that the company trademarked the name "Talla Tonga" for him, indicating that he could join the new Bloodline. WrestleVotes also noted that plans could change at any time, but it would be surprising if the star didn't show up on TV soon under the trademarked moniker.
"Sure. I don't know when he'll (Hikuleo) debut. I don't necessarily know if it'll be a main roster debut. But you know they did trademark that name Talla Tonga, and I think it's earmarked for him. You know, things can change, but I'll be surprised if he showed up on TV, and that's not how they referred to him as." [From 10:11 - 10:28]
The new Bloodline currently has to deal with Roman Reigns and The Usos at Crown Jewel. The match was made official after this week's episode of RAW.
With Survivor Series 2024 just a month away, it will be interesting to see if Solo Sikoa plans on adding more members to the faction to strengthen their ranks.
