3 Bloodline family members who were once linked to AEW

The Bloodline is a huge part of WWE and is heavily featured on the company's weekly programming. The members of the group belong to the legendary Anoaʻi family of Samoan professional wrestlers.

While there have been talks of some Bloodline members being signed by AEW in the future, so far only three wrestlers of the family have ever been associated with Tony Khan's promotion. Let's find out who they are:

#1. Rumored WWE star Hikuleo and #2. Wrestling legend King Haku

Hikuleo made his AEW debut at 2021 Fight for the Fallen (which aired as a special Dynamite episode) where he took on Lance Archer in a losing effort. He was accompanied by his father King Haku. During the match, King Haku even tried to interfere and cause a distraction for his son but to no avail.

It has been reported that Hikuleo signed with WWE in July 2024 after his contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) came to an end this summer. The Stamford-based promotion is rumored to introduce him to TV soon as a member of the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline alongside Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa. It is also being said that he will fight under the ring name "Talla Tonga" which WWE has already filed for trademark.

#3. The next generation of The Bloodline: Zilla Fatu

Zilla Fatu was backstage on AEW Dynamite last year in December. He even posted a bunch of pictures with AEW head Tony Khan and several members of his roster like Isiak Kassidy, Daniel Garcia, Nick Wayne, and Chris Jericho.

Fatu, the son of WWE legend Umaga (Eddie Fatu), created a buzz in the wrestling world after his backstage appearance on AEW's flagship show, Wednesday Night Dynamite. Fans began speculating if he could land in AEW. But so far there hasn't been any news regarding Tony Khan adding him to his roster.

Moreover, Fatu has expressed his interest in signing with the global entertainment juggernaut. Earlier this year in May, Zilla did an interview with Joey Franchize on WiLD 94.1, where he was asked whether he'd like to join WWE or AEW. The young star responded by saying that he would like to join the Triple H-led promotion since Bloodline has a long history with WWE and he doesn't want to become the first member to break the cycle and go to AEW.

Fatu has been trained by WWE legend Booker T in his school named Reality of Wrestling. He is currently working for the independent circuit and primarily wrestles for Game Changer Wrestling (GCW).
