Update On Hikuleo's WWE Status, Speculation On Why He Has Not Debuted Yet

There’s a reason for that. With so many stars on the WWE roster, it can be difficult to find something for everyone to do. This includes stars who are still waiting to make their debut after signing, as it can take time for the company to find the right way to bring them up to television. That appears to be the case again with a recently signed star, but now we might know more about why WWE is waiting.

Last year, it was reported that WWE had signed former New Japan star Hikuleo, who is a member of the Anoa’i Family. However, he has yet to debut and there have been no hints that it is coming anytime soon. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE may not want him to debut too soon on NXT, assuming that is where he is put at all. WWE may also be just trying to get Hikuleo “up to speed” before debuting him. This is only speculation at this point though and is not being reported as fact.

You might need to get to know him. Check out Hikuleo:

Opinion: This is where things can be interesting as we get to wait and see what is going on with Hikuleo. We very well may be waiting a good while to see him, but that could make for a nice moment when he finally shows up. Hikuleo has a nice reputation in New Japan and I could go for seeing how he does in WWE, especially if he happens to be the next member of the Bloodline.
