Earlier this year, it was reported that former New Japan star Hikuleo had signed with WWE, though he has not yet debuted for the company. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is merely waiting for the right time to debut Hikuleo, likely as part of the Bloodline.

Opinion: This is the kind of change that could go a long way when the debut actually takes place. Hikuleo is another star who could add something else to the Bloodline story, which already has quie the cast of characters.

What do you think of Hikuleo? How would you debut him in WWE? Let us know in the comments below.
