Lance Anoa'i has reportedly become the latest member of the Anoaʻi family to sign with WWE. However, reports suggest that he is currently injured, and the creative team has no plans for him to appear on NXT or the main roster.
Given that he has signed with the company and was seen training at the WWE Performance Center, the expectation is that he will show up sooner rather than later. Lance Anoa'i last appeared in WWE in 2019, when he faced Shane McMahon. Following the bout, Roman Reigns came to his aid, saving him from an assault by McMahon and Drew McIntyre.
With that in mind, we take a look at five ways that Lance Anoa'i could return to WWE:
Trending
#5. Lance Anoa'i could become Solo Sikoa's Wiseman
Solo Sikoa has done a great job as the new Tribal Chief of The Bloodline, taking over since Roman Reigns' departure after WrestleMania 40. Amid Reigns' absence, Solo kicked Jimmy Uso and The Wiseman Paul Heyman out of the faction, but the Civil War could turn things around.
With Paul Heyman set to return at some point in the coming weeks or months, Solo Sikoa could bring Lance Anoa'i to The Bloodline 2.0 to deal with Heyman's return.
#4. He could become Paul Heyman's new client
Amid a five-month absence, Paul Heyman has made it clear that he will return to The Bloodline storyline only when he has something significant to offer.
This could be the addition of Lance Anoa'i to the OG Bloodline by introducing him as the new 'Paul Heyman Guy.' Over the years, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and Brock Lesnar have called themselves a 'Paul Heyman Guy' and have emerged as top stars in WWE.
So, becoming a 'Paul Heyman Guy' could be a sign that WWE would push Anoa'i after his debut.
#3. Could replace Tonga Loa at Survivor Series: WarGames
The former Tag Team Champion Tonga Loa has become the weak link of Solo Sikoa's Bloodline. Thus, it will not be a surprise if Solo replaces him ahead of Survivor Series: WarGames.
Especially if Sami Zayn joins The OG Bloodline, Solo will need help from the rest of The Bloodline 2.0 to win the match. On this occasion, replacing Tonga Loa and bringing Anoa'i in could be the perfect move to even the odds against Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Sami Zayn.
#2. Could join The OG Bloodline at Survivor Series
The OG Bloodline will look to recover from their loss at Crown Jewel and beat The Bloodline 2.0 at Survivor Series. To do so, they will need to deal with the numbers game, with Sami Zayn set to join the faction.
Still, if he and Roman Reigns don't get on the same page, The OG Bloodline could go to Survivor Series in search of its fourth member. And this fourth member could be Lance Anoa'i, who can be a last-minute addition and make his debut at the WarGames match.
#1. Lance Anoa'i could make his WWE debut as a tag team with Hikuleo
Hikuleo is another member of the Anoa'i family who signed with WWE and is expected to debut on NXT or the main roster. It is unclear when this will happen, but WWE could have him and Lance Anoa'i show up on RAW or SmackDown as a tag team and get a title opportunity.
That way, their transition could be smoother. If they join the main roster as faces, they could become part of the Civil War by taking on the former Tag Team Champions Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
