-- Former NJPW wrestler Hikuleo has signed with WWE according to a report by fightfulselect.com. The long-time New Japan veteran finished up with the promotion in June and at that time was strongly rumored to be headed to WWE to join the Bloodline. While his departure was not confirmed, he has not been seen in NJPW since and the assumption was that his deal expired in June and he was gone.
-- With the 6'8" Hikuleo headed to WWE, he will join his brothers and new signings Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa there but no start date for him has yet to be confirmed. Tama Tonga is technically his biological brother and the two of them were adopted by former WWE wrestler Haku, whose biological son is Tonga Loa. WWE has reportedly been interested in Hikuleo and his brothers dating back to 2023 but with the Vince McMahon fiasco and an unofficial hiring freeze, this pushed everything back.
