NXT ON USA: Report: Hikuleo added to NXT roster


Posted on 9/23/124 by Colin Vassallo



PWInsider.com is reporting that Hikuleo has been added to
the NXT roster on internal documents, suggesting that the
former NJPW star will land in the black and gold brand
before getting the main roster call up.

The 33-year-old is the brother of Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa
and the adoptive son of Haku. Due to his family history, he
was expected to be joining The Bloodline upon his arrival.

It was reported back in July that he signed with WWE after
an eight-year stint with New Japan Pro-Wrestling where he
was the NJPW Strong Openweight champion, NJPW Strong
Openweight Tag Team champion, and IWGP Tag Team champion.

Hikuleo has a few AEW appearances under his belt too, with
his latest one coming on the June 1, 2022 episode of
Dynamite.
