The Bloodline to expand further, Jimmy Uso returning? - 4 ways Hikuleo can debut at WWE Clash at the Castle Scotland
WWE and pro wrestling in general is a business driven by talented performers. If there are no wrestlers, there is, by default, no wrestling. It is a constant reality for any promoter or booker when trying to keep talent happy or signed to fresh deals.
World Wrestling Entertainment has introduced or re-introduced several big names over the past year or so across all three brands. This includes Tama Tonga, Jade Cargill, Shawn Spears, Ethan Page, Kairi Sane, Carlito, Tonga Loa, and Lexis King, among others.
One name who may soon be debuting for the Sports Entertainment juggernaut is Hikuleo. The big man is the brother of both Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga, two new additions to the Friday Night SmackDown roster. While there has already been speculation on how he may debut, this weekend offers an intriguing opportunity.
The Stamford-based promotion will host Clash at the Castle Scotland this Saturday and there is a chance Hikuleo could debut at the big event. This article will look at a handful of ways the 33-year-old wrestler could amaze audiences if he were to indeed make an appearance at the event.
Below are four ways Hikuleo can debut at WWE Clash at the Castle Scotland.
#4. He could be introduced and anointed by Solo Sikoa
The Bloodline has dramatically changed over the past few months. Roman Reigns and The Rock have taken time away from WWE and Jimmy Uso was forcefully ejected from the faction. Solo Sikoa has since taken over the group.
Upon becoming the de facto leader of the group, The Enforcer of The Bloodline has made a few sweeping changes. He first added Tama Tonga to the stable, who is now known as Solo's Right Hand Man. Tonga Loa has also been added, with the 41-year-old star officially anointed during SmackDown last week.
Hikuleo could debut via another anointment segment. Solo Sikoa could stand in the middle of the ring with his Bloodline brethren during Clash at the Castle and introduce WWE's newest signing and officially reveal he is part of the crew. It would not be a groundbreaking segment, but it would serve the purpose of introducing the big man.
#3. Hikuleo could viciously attack Kevin Owens at WWE Clash at the Castle 2024
Make no mistake about it: Hikuleo is a serious problem for WWE performers. The 33-year-old has around seven years of experience as a pro wrestler, but even more importantly, is a massive human being. The big man stands at 6 foot 8 inches in height and weighs over 260 pounds.
One person in particular who needs to look out for the big man is Kevin Owens. The former Universal Champion has been at war with The Bloodline off and on for four years now, but things are different this time. The beatings are more savage than ever before courtesy of Solo Sikoa's leadership.
Paul Heyman has tried to warn Owens to stay out of The Bloodline's way before something serious happens, but Kevin does not listen. At Clash at the Castle 2024, he could be viciously attacked by the big man and The Prizefighter may finally be sent away for good.
#2. He could help The Bloodline win an unannounced match
Clash at the Castle is WWE's next premium live event following a slew of successful shows throughout the year. Three world title bouts will take place at the event, including Cody Rhodes vs. AJ Styles, Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest, and Bayley vs. Piper Niven.
Two other title bouts are set for the show making for a total of five announced matches. There is a chance Triple H and WWE could add another match to the lineup, that being a last-minute bout featuring The Bloodline.
For example, The Bloodline could battle Kevin Owens and the Street Profits in a Street Fight. If a last-minute match is added to the card, Hikuleo could debut similarly as Tonga Loa did at Backlash France by costing the babyfaces a win. History repeating itself is good storytelling.
#1. Jimmy Uso could return and align with Hikuleo instead
The Bloodline changing so much is certainly a shock to the system. Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman are the only active members who were part of the group when they were at their peak.
Part of this is because Sikoa brutally kicked Jimmy Uso out of the faction. He and Tama Tonga savagely beat down the former Universal Champion and Jimmy has been absent ever since. To be booted by your own brother has to lead to hard feelings.
Jimmy Uso could make his return at Clash at the Castle 2024 and get revenge unexpectedly. Instead of Hikuleo debuting alongside his brothers, he could be brought in by Jimmy to fight his own family. This would truly be interesting with two families at war.
