According to Fightful Select, former New Japan star Hikuleo has signed with WWE after a few weeks of speculation that he was heading to the company. There is no word on when or where Hikuleo may debut. WWE is said to have ha interest in him since January of last year, but a talent signing freeze led him to re-sign with New Japan for another year. Hikuleo, 33 years old, is the brother of Tama Tonga and the cousin of Tonga Loa.

Opinion: This is where things can get all the more interesting as the Bloodline is likely to grow as a result. Hikuleo is a bit different than the rest of the team and it should be interesting to see what he can do. If nothing else, at some point, the Bloodline might have some members of the family going against them, which could make for a nice change of pace, especially if some missing people come back.
