It finally happened — after nearly a year of waiting, Hikuleo has officially made his WWE debut, and it couldn’t have come at a more chaotic time for The Bloodline.

During the June 28th Night of Champions Premium Live Event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu went to war for the United States Championship. The personal feud has been brewing for months, ever since Fatu turned his back on Sikoa, and tonight the bad blood boiled over.

The match got physical from the opening bell. Sikoa started strong, but Fatu fought back, landing a brutal German Suplex that Sikoa shook off to return the favor with one of his own. Things escalated fast when JC Mateo tried to interfere, only for Tanga Loa to show up and lend a hand to Solo.

That’s when things really exploded. Tama Tonga and his brother Hikuleo stormed the ring, destroying Jacob Fatu at ringside. Their interference allowed Solo Sikoa to secure the win and capture the United States Championship — adding more fuel to the ongoing Bloodline civil war.

Hikuleo’s arrival has been a long time coming. The 6’8” powerhouse signed with WWE back in 2024 after an impressive run in New Japan Pro Wrestling, where he built a reputation as a dangerous enforcer. As the younger brother of Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa, Hikuleo’s roots in the Anoa’i family tree run deep — making him the perfect addition to Solo Sikoa’s version of The Bloodline.

The timing couldn’t have been better. With the Bloodline storyline heating up again, adding another dominant family member raises the stakes and shifts the power dynamic in Solo’s favor.

What do you think — did WWE wait too long to pull the trigger on Hikuleo, or was this the perfect debut? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
