In the ongoing battle for wrestling supremacy, AEW President Tony Khan has been on a signing spree, snagging top talents to bolster his roster. Meanwhile, WWE’s CCO Triple H has also been quietly acquiring new talent. Amidst this talent wars, a fascinating name has emerged: Hikuleo, the towering NJPW star and younger brother of Tama Tonga.
With rumors of a potential Bloodline civil war brewing in WWE, Tony Khan should seize the opportunity to sign Hikuleo and deny WWE the chance to capitalize on the entire Samoan family.
Hikuleo’s connection to The Bloodline through his brother Tama Tonga makes him an attractive prospect for WWE. However, AEW has a history of poaching top NJPW talents, including Will Ospreay and Kazuchika Okada. The 6’6″ Hikuleo would be a significant coup for AEW, offering a unique blend of size, strength, and athleticism. Moreover, at 33 years old, he is still in his prime, with plenty of room for growth and development.
Tony Khan has been injecting youth into his roster, and Hikuleo would be an excellent addition. His towering presence would make him an imposing figure in the AEW terrain, which generally features smaller talent. Moreover, his potential to thrive in AEW would be significantly higher than in WWE, where he might get lost in the shuffle.
There’s another compelling reason for Tony Khan to sign Hikuleo – his own safety. Following his recent attack by Jack Perry and The Young Bucks, Khan might need a bodyguard to accompany him in his ongoing feud with The Elite. Hikuleo’s size and strength would provide the necessary protection, and his signing could spark a compelling storyline.
Imagine Hikuleo clashing with The Young Bucks, Jack Perry, or even Kazuchika Okada, providing him with a significant arc early in his AEW tenure. This could be the catalyst for a series of exciting matches and storylines, giving Hikuleo the platform to showcase his skills and charisma.
As the wrestling terrain continues to shift, Tony Khan would be wise to snatch Hikuleo from WWE’s grasp. By doing so, he would not only deprive WWE of a valuable asset but also create a new wave of possibilities for his own promotion. The question is, will Tony Khan seize this opportunity, or will WWE swoop in to snatch Hikuleo? Only time will tell.
