Hikuleo’s New WWE Ring Name Revealed, Photos Of Blake Monroe’s WWE NXT In-Ring Debut, News On SmackDown & More
Hikuleo has a new name in WWE.
At WWE Night of Champions 2025, Hikuleo made his official debut, aligning with Solo Sikoa and joining the growing ranks of the New Bloodline alongside his brothers Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, as well as JC Mateo (formerly Jeff Cobb). He played a pivotal role in the event, ambushing Jacob Fatu and setting up Sikoa to land a Samoan Spike and win the WWE United States Championship — his first title on the main roster.
While commentators Michael Cole and Wade Barrett didn’t mention his name during the broadcast, they did reference his background in Japan. It wasn’t until the post-show that his WWE name was revealed via a lower third graphic during Sikoa’s promo – “Tala Tonga.”
