Debuting Star Spotted In Saudi Arabia Ahead Of Night Of Champions
via WWE

WWE is taking over Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this weekend for Friday Night SmackDown and the Night Of Champions premium live event, offering up an opportunity for title changes, returns, surprises, and maybe even debuts. Reports are circulating that a potential debuting star who has yet to surface on the main roster may be in the mix for Night Of Champions 2025 on Saturday, and perhaps even making an impact in one of the marquee title matches on the show.

Hikuleo Has Reportedly Been Spotted In Saudi Arabia

For nearly a year, fans have been questioning where on earth Hikuleo has been, after having signed with WWE back in July of 2024. In recent weeks, the mass of man finally made an appearance, albeit off-screen, competing on back-to-back dark matches prior to Friday Night SmackDown, disposing of Pretty Deadly’s Kit Wilson, in addition to a local enhancement talent. This has sparked discussion over the potential of a Hikuleo on-screen debut - and that might finally be happening in the very near future.

According to a report from PWInsider, Hikuleo has been spotted alongside fellow members of the WWE roster - and he’d be a hard superstar to miss. This is a notable report given that WWE wouldn’t likely waste spots on travel to those who are not going to be appearing on TV for their trip to Saudi Arabia, so this could very well suggest that Hikuleo could get in the mix on television or for the PLE this weekend.

Hikuleo Could Be In Line For Involvement In The US Title Match At WWE Night Of Champions

When it comes to Hikuleo’s potential involvement this weekend, there is an obvious path for him - the United States Championship match between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa. Over the last year, Sikoa has enlisted the likes of Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu, and JC Mateo (formerly Jeff Cobb) to his version of The Bloodline. Hikuleo is notably the brother of Tama Tonga and cousin of Tonga Loa, so aligning with him alongside Sikoa would make the world of sense.

Shenanigans could well be afoot when it comes to the United States Title battle between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa when they clash for the first time ever in singles action at Night Of Champions, and a debuting Hikuleo could lead to a brand new United States Champion, if he does indeed join forces with his fellow family members at the side of Sikoa.
