Spoiler: Absent WWE Star Spotted Ahead of SmackDown in Cincinnati, Ohio

WWE Friday Night SmackDown is live tonight from Cincinnati, Ohio, and Hikuleo is backstage at the event—further solidifying his role in WWE and his alignment with The Bloodline.

PWInsiderElite.com reported that Hikuleo is in town for tonight’s SmackDown. His appearance ties directly into the ongoing MFT storyline with Solo Sikoa, raising questions about his possible involvement in the main event.
