The time has finally arrived as Hikuleo hits the scene to make his WWE debut at WWE Night of Champions . The Tongan giant was a difference-maker, helping Solo Sikoa secure the United States Championship from Jacob Fatu by interfering in their heated title match.

Earlier in the month, Hikuleo taped a match for WWE Main Event prior to WWE SmackDown against Kit Wilson from Pretty Deadly.

Hikuleo enters the company as a 6-foot-8, 264-pound behemoth with a bright future. Everyone has already caught a glimpse of what he’s truly capable of being a part of the famous NJPW faction, Bullet Club.

Plus, Hikuleo has won significant championships in his young career, nabbing the STRONG Openweight Championship, as well as a couple of STRONG Openweight Tag Team Championships and IWGP Tag Team Championships with El Phantasmo in his time with New Japan Pro Wrestling.

It remains to be seen what Hikuleo is really capable of, but considering what he did tonight on WWE Night of Champions, the future looks bright for the budding monster.
