Jacob Fatu‘s New Bloodline replacement might make his WWE debut soon.
After months of teasing, Jacob Fatu finally pulled the trigger and betrayed Solo Sikoa at the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, costing his cousin the titular contract. However, it seems like The New Bloodline’s story is only going to get more intense for the upcoming WWE SmackDown episode with the arrival of Hikuleo.
According to PWInsider Elite, Hikuleo is scheduled to be at tomorrow’s SmackDown show located at the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. This report is also supported by BodySlam, which stated that the 34-year-old has transportation set for the upcoming Friday show.
The former NJPW star is also part of the Anoa’i family, having been adopted as the son of Haku and the brother of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
Reports have indicated that he signed with the Stamford-based promotion in June 2024 after his time in Japan. Despite being listed on NXT’s internal roster, he hasn’t appeared for any WWE programming.

The self-proclaimed Tribal Chief was understandably upset after what happened at the recent premium live event. Not only did he lose the chance of becoming a MITB contract winner, but The Samoan Werewolf also ruined the structure of the New Bloodline again.
In a previous Instagram story, the former North American Champion posted a simple and effective reaction to the betrayal by posting a photo of him and Jacob Fatu, but with the United States Champion’s face crossed out.
It will be interesting to see what is next for the New Bloodline in the coming weeks.
