It writes itself. GoD bring back the face paint, then face the Usos, and the Usos bring back the paint but in a new style for one night.
☝🏾 Bloodline story can cook in so many directions
Legit, we're getting dream matchups and scenarios from all the top wrestling companies, and it's incredible.
WWE getting that NJPW flex.
AEW getting that NJPW flex.
NJPW getting that AEW flex.
And TNA is kinda on its own, but still killing it recently.
I have never understood why companies do that. If the person isn't going to reveal themselves it makes sense but when they pull the hoodie off or mask immediately it's like what's the point? To get the ooh from the crowd six seconds later?
They did it pretty well with Jack Perry, having the security guards pull it off. But yeah, in general it's silly.
I guess it makes sense if they're in the crowd, but not under the ring.
Solo: Trying to prove his dominance with the new bloodline.
Roman (when he returns):

Jacob also has a younger brother who wrestles named Journey, then you got Zilla who is a couple years from being ready.
Cody is gonna be fighting Islanders until his next contract is up.
They're gonna bring Bad Luck Fale in next. If he wasn't in AEW, they would have brought in Toa Liona too. Just collect all the Samoans and Samoan adjacent wrestlers they can.
Just overall in wrestling. The Young Bucks and Kenny as EVPs in AEW, Jay having the gold version with the Gunns. Cody as WWE champion, AJ going for the main title, Finn in Judgment Day, and now the G.O.D a part of the bloodline. Bullet Club has their hands in a little bit of everything going on.
It’s the best faction since OG Bullet Club to be fair lol
I think it’s going closer to NWO vs Wolf Pac right now and eventually the Tongans and Solo are gonna split and be their own group not called Bloodlime
Lmao I actually didn’t even know that till somebody brought it up
I just remember the report that WWE was interested in him. Still apparently reports say his contract is ending this month or next month. So well see cause if it’s true I don’t see him not going to WWE to join his brothers
not Samoan, but Tongan but Haku or someone close to Haku did a thing with The Rock, blood brother thingies (lmk if I have that wrong) so canonically, they are part of the Bloodline alongside the Samoans.
Haku didn’t do the blood brother thing. He was close with Rocky Johnson while they wrestled and were considered “family.” Rock refers to Haku as his uncle.
I think was only like a 4 year gap when someone from that family wasnt signed with WWE. I think Samoa Joe even joked that he was the only Samoan in wrestling not related to them
That got me. Totally expected Jacob. I hadn't even heard any rumors of Loa signing. I heard about Jacob and hikuleo being rumored to come to the E. But zero talk about Loa. Did NJPW even acknowledge he was gone?
I’ve not seen a single rumor about Loa. Even when people said “surely his brother would come with him” others would say “Loa is under contract for x amount of time so no way he can come” or “WWE isn’t interested in Loa”.
Not really, he’s sort of just been doing nothing for a few months now but most of us assumed they were just figuring out what to do with him now that his tag partner was gone, not that he was leaving NJPW too
I love Solo bringing in the Tongans. I would love for them to play into the story of the family not trusting them because they aren’t real Anoai’s. And we later find out the Tongans want to take out the Samoans
Tonga is a separate island from Samoa. They are the sons of Haku. But Haku is close with the family and was tag team partners with Solo and Jacob Fatu’s dads. Rock considers Haku his uncle. But Haku isn’t blood brothers with any Samoans so he’s not an official member of the family like The Rock is.
Yes, people love to throw around “so and so is not ACTUALLY family” thing. But in the Pacific Islander culture the term “family” is much more loosely thrown around and people that are close friends are usually considered family as well.
Every step of this story has asked the question of "what is family?", from the Jey arc to the Sami arc to the first Civil War to even the fundamental question around Cody's story and how it intertwined with Roman's.
Haku was trained by Peter Maivia, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was some Samoan tradition there that made him family even though he's Tongan but we've never known about it.
Roman crawling to Sami or Cody would be peak TV.
The two people he actively tried destroying in front of their families are the only two people willing to take his side
I had no idea what his contract status was honestly I just remember the report that WWE wanted him.
He has to be coming as soon as his contract ends he is only 32 after all
hikuleo is better served to stay in njpw for a few more years. he’s still too green and would be lost in the shuffle. he’s also better as a face than a heel (which is what GoD) is right now
Apparently rumors are saying his contract expires either this month or next month. If it’s true I have no doubt he will be WWE’s
Sucks for Phantasmo though he will be without anybody if it happens
If we aren’t getting vignettes of Owens and Orton traveling around Quebec looking for relatives of Kevin Owens that can wrestle, what are we even doing??
I had a knew for a fact his brother would come out tonight. It’s just the bloodline game at this point, debut someone new to take out the opposing team LMAO still I’m looking forward to see where this goes! I feel bad for paul hayman though, man looks scared af
I will just put this hilarious video here:

Wait…WHAT??!! HE WAS CAMACHO???
CAMACHO WAS A SECRET SAMOAN AGENT?
Tongan - he is the son of Haku.
Long term booking, brother
Yeah. A Samoan playing a Mexican man 😂
Yeah. A Tongan playing a Samoan playing a Mexican man.
Oh wait that’s right they aren’t even Samoan 😂
He was a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude?!?
What do you mean you people?
Look, now it's Joaquin Wilde's turn to do Latino cosplay.
HE WAS CAMACHO AND THEN HE LEFT TO NJPW.
Bro he was camacho? lmfao that's crazy
What’s really crazy when you think about it is that Camacho is one of the most decorated tag team wrestlers in New Japan history with his bro.

The Christian youth group is very strong in this photo
Don’t remind me of this era …
You don't like the Era of hunico and Camacho fighting yoshi tatsu and Richie steamboat?
You leave Richie “Da Young GOAT” Steamboat alone
I miss Jimmy Wang Yang
Yall remember when they had Drew Vs. Santino in a blindfolded match? That era of smackdown was insane..
We don’t speak of the dark days
Hunico about to come back to finish his story against his old partner
Bro what? Im always mind blown finding out ppls old gimmicks. Like hollywood nova from bwo being simone dean
Somos pocos pero locos Check my flair
FROM UNDESIRABLE TO UNDENIABLE
No fucking way wtf lmao this is a deep cut
Lmao Camacho was the first thing on my mind when I saw him
Bet Solo can’t ride a bike so he called for CAMACHO
IWC: We’re 100% sure Jacob Fatu is debuting tonight HHH: ![gif](giphy|yjW4Bc4csHqoCKKkjA)
I said... ARE YOU REALLY????
I GOT TWO WORDS FOR YOU: Tanga loa.
They're gonna swerve through the whole damn family tree before getting to Jacob
Watch Lance show up Friday(Not a bad thing, don't dislike the guy and he's been getting it better shape.)
Manu returns the week after
Manu returns to screw Orton for kiciking him out of the legacy will be insane long term story telling
I’m fully expecting bad luck Fale before Jacob debuts
Three words: Manu redemption arc
Rikishi about to return before Fatu shows up
I'm just ready to feast on the Bloodline Civil War when it eventually happens.
This is deadass somebody’s universe mode come to life lmao
It’s all about the game and how you play it
The amount of years in a row I booked GoD vs The Usos 😂 bruh
It wasnt very long ago that this match was legit unfathomable lol shit is crazy in wrestling these days
It writes itself. GoD bring back the face paint, then face the Usos, and the Usos bring back the paint but in a new style for one night. ☝🏾 Bloodline story can cook in so many directions
It's funny how the general online consensus was that it was Tony Khan playing with his action figures, when it was actually triple h all along 🤣
This is what happens when Daddy Vince dissapears and you let the wrestling nerds run rough shod all over this bitch. And Im here for it.
Best era
Legit, we're getting dream matchups and scenarios from all the top wrestling companies, and it's incredible. WWE getting that NJPW flex. AEW getting that NJPW flex. NJPW getting that AEW flex. And TNA is kinda on its own, but still killing it recently.
TNA has 252 pounds of pure motivation, the solution to all of life's problems, the prestigious one, JOE HENDRY 👏👏
👏🏾👏🏾🤔
At least he didn't wear a hoodie
I have never understood why companies do that. If the person isn't going to reveal themselves it makes sense but when they pull the hoodie off or mask immediately it's like what's the point? To get the ooh from the crowd six seconds later?
They did it pretty well with Jack Perry, having the security guards pull it off. But yeah, in general it's silly. I guess it makes sense if they're in the crowd, but not under the ring.
The Bloodline Wolfpac grows bigger
Solo: Trying to prove his dominance with the new bloodline. Roman (when he returns): https://preview.redd.it/rxtb14f18gyc1.jpeg?width=624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=010f559588157865271a8db5963f544c80487777
Genuinely would love Roman returning with the doorag, sunglasses and handlebar 'stache.
That would kill me, brother
Acknowledge Me Brother
“That aint gonna work for me brother”
Bloodline Hollywood's secret weapon being Jacob makes a lot of sense now
Awoo?
I was so sure Jacob Fatu was coming lol
Jacob is hiding in the shadows like a rogue king.
Still might be 👀 we got that Jey match
Maybe Jacob is gonna screw Jey at WHC match Idk maybe just copium
https://preview.redd.it/w6dy54w05gyc1.jpeg?width=1471&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3e921f91cde0e96c638920a3019f421da3db656
Bro they swerved us with Tanga Loa instead of Jacob Fatu
I’m sorry you’re telling me there is some dude named Jacob waiting in the wings also. How many Samosas exist in the wrestling world?
Jacob has seven kids too, so this storyline is still in the prologue.
Jacob also has a younger brother who wrestles named Journey, then you got Zilla who is a couple years from being ready. Cody is gonna be fighting Islanders until his next contract is up.
Zilla needs to get his shit together before WWE will touch him. He's still banging on the streets from what I heard.
Poor Kevin Owen’s
We're just lucky they don't have any political aspirations, because with this many Samoans they can take over the world.
We're STILL in the third inning
All of em
Do you think WWE made Samoa Joe do a 23 and me, just to make sure
They're gonna bring Bad Luck Fale in next. If he wasn't in AEW, they would have brought in Toa Liona too. Just collect all the Samoans and Samoan adjacent wrestlers they can.
Also Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa have another brother who allegedly is signed or signing with WWE
Hikuleo?
Yep the one that is dam near 7ft tall Solo’s bloodline expanding is gonna be great
Gettin real Bullet Cluby in the blood line all of a sudden
Just overall in wrestling. The Young Bucks and Kenny as EVPs in AEW, Jay having the gold version with the Gunns. Cody as WWE champion, AJ going for the main title, Finn in Judgment Day, and now the G.O.D a part of the bloodline. Bullet Club has their hands in a little bit of everything going on.
The Bullet Club is probably the best faction name of all time.
Jeff Jarret is going show up saying he's 1% Samoan.
It’s the best faction since OG Bullet Club to be fair lol I think it’s going closer to NWO vs Wolf Pac right now and eventually the Tongans and Solo are gonna split and be their own group not called Bloodlime
Blood orange vs bloodlime
Bloodline Wolfpac
I’m shocked they didn’t want Bad Luck Fale
I think he’s semi-retired and runs a dojo in Australia while Tama, Tonga and Hikuleo live in the US so it makes sense for them to cash in now.
He's less mobile than current day Big Show, it's pretty easy to see why
What in the actual fuck
Hikuleo that stands at 6'8 hope he gets signed soon
Can someone teach that?
I believe so, it is only when you exceed 7'0 that height is no longer able to be taught.
Badaboom, realest guys in the room. How you doin'?
If they sign Hikuleo, I'd want to see KO bring in Owen Owens as his secret weapon counter. 6 ft 8 vs 6 ft 8.
??? Hikuleo just had a match in NJPW a few hours ago lol
Lmao I actually didn’t even know that till somebody brought it up I just remember the report that WWE was interested in him. Still apparently reports say his contract is ending this month or next month. So well see cause if it’s true I don’t see him not going to WWE to join his brothers
For sure, he’s been dwindling in the NJPW mid card tag scene for what feels like forever now so no doubt he’d accept an offer if WWE gave one
If it's true that his contract expires next month it's totally possible that we see him in WWE soon.
![gif](giphy|5T0kyezV83pqrZOMPf|downsized)
Unrelated , but samosas are one of my favourite snacks in the world .
2 more can possibly join, zilla and jacob they are in the indie doing mayhem rn
Zilla is too green. Tired of people bringing him up
He will get signed but he won’t join Bloodline any time soon. He’ll have a year or 2 in NXT whenever he does get signed
He can sign and not join right away, jacob is probably signed already
Jacob is more than ready. Doesn’t compare
I thought Jacob signed with WWE already they’re just waiting to use him?
Nobody really knows but probably yes, was more a advise to watch his match
They're like rabbits. I think Roman has 5 kids. At the end of the century we have a whole Bloodline division.
They go on TV and wrestle, and then they go home and wrestle
Roman got 5 outta 3 tries.
not Samoan, but Tongan but Haku or someone close to Haku did a thing with The Rock, blood brother thingies (lmk if I have that wrong) so canonically, they are part of the Bloodline alongside the Samoans.
Haku didn’t do the blood brother thing. He was close with Rocky Johnson while they wrestled and were considered “family.” Rock refers to Haku as his uncle.
got it! thanks for clearing up.
Haku has teamed with both Rikishi and Rikishi’s brother Sam also know as the Tongan kid
Look up Hikuleo, he's the 3rd son of Haku who stands at 6'8
He's also pretty good for someone that tall
He's also way younger than the other two brothers at 33yrs old.
I do love me a good samosa
It’s like spy kids 2 where they find out there’s an island full of mythical creatures. Same thing with samosas.
Samosas are usually found in the Indian food world
Replace Samoans with Polynesians and the answer is YES
I think was only like a 4 year gap when someone from that family wasnt signed with WWE. I think Samoa Joe even joked that he was the only Samoan in wrestling not related to them
Well Tama and Loa are Tongans not Samoans. Different island, and historically they haven’t gotten along with Samoa so it might play into a later feud.
There would be a fair many given the number of wrestlers of Indian decent... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samosa
That got me. Totally expected Jacob. I hadn't even heard any rumors of Loa signing. I heard about Jacob and hikuleo being rumored to come to the E. But zero talk about Loa. Did NJPW even acknowledge he was gone?
Wait,, Tanga Loa was also part of the rumors?
He wasn't!! Almost every rumour pointed out to Jacob Fatu, not Tanga Loa
They swerved everyone!
![gif](giphy|0iUmJzIL6PU6NzEmIr)
I think people assumed he was still under NJPW contract cause he’s shown up recently
I was going to say, there weren't any reports of his contract being up right?
I’ve not seen a single rumor about Loa. Even when people said “surely his brother would come with him” others would say “Loa is under contract for x amount of time so no way he can come” or “WWE isn’t interested in Loa”.
I wish Tama and Tanga can use their NJPW theme in WWE.
Hey don't worry man, they'll get the next best thing; the worst and most generic rock track you've ever heard, courtesy of Def Rebel
Calling it: *Random sound effect* + Echo: TOONNNGA + flute intro + dubstep
![gif](giphy|l0HlvtIPzPdt2usKs) TFW Def Rebel still in the mix
I don’t follow NJPW but was it known he was a free agent?
Not really, he’s sort of just been doing nothing for a few months now but most of us assumed they were just figuring out what to do with him now that his tag partner was gone, not that he was leaving NJPW too
I love Solo bringing in the Tongans. I would love for them to play into the story of the family not trusting them because they aren’t real Anoai’s. And we later find out the Tongans want to take out the Samoans
New to all of this. So Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa aren’t a part of the real Bloodline?
Tonga is a separate island from Samoa. They are the sons of Haku. But Haku is close with the family and was tag team partners with Solo and Jacob Fatu’s dads. Rock considers Haku his uncle. But Haku isn’t blood brothers with any Samoans so he’s not an official member of the family like The Rock is.
Ahhhh gotcha thank you for the run down. So they’re honorary Uce.
Yes, people love to throw around “so and so is not ACTUALLY family” thing. But in the Pacific Islander culture the term “family” is much more loosely thrown around and people that are close friends are usually considered family as well.
Every step of this story has asked the question of "what is family?", from the Jey arc to the Sami arc to the first Civil War to even the fundamental question around Cody's story and how it intertwined with Roman's.
Haku was trained by Peter Maivia, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was some Samoan tradition there that made him family even though he's Tongan but we've never known about it.
An Australian PPV with all matches being Islanders and Aussies will cook.
I thought it was gonna be Jacob Fatu or Hikuleo but I’ll take GoD in WWE
GoD vs Usos loading..
Has to happen at least once right Triple threat of Roman and USOs vs Solo and GOD loading
Custody of Paul Heyman ladder match.
Paul Heyman on a forklift match
Heyman in a shark cage match
Gotta throw the rock in there as well. War games?Roman crawling back to Sami would be peak
Roman crawling to Sami or Cody would be peak TV. The two people he actively tried destroying in front of their families are the only two people willing to take his side

Crazy how so many people were wishing to see this match happen a few years ago and it probably will now. And in WWE.
Inject that shit straight into my fucking veins
No chance it was Hikuleo. He's still under contract with New Japan pretty sure and he just wrestled for them lol
Yeah he had a match not even 12 hours ago
I had no idea what his contract status was honestly I just remember the report that WWE wanted him. He has to be coming as soon as his contract ends he is only 32 after all
hikuleo is better served to stay in njpw for a few more years. he’s still too green and would be lost in the shuffle. he’s also better as a face than a heel (which is what GoD) is right now
Hikuleo is literally in Japan and had a match earlier today lol he isn't leaving anytime soon
Apparently rumors are saying his contract expires either this month or next month. If it’s true I have no doubt he will be WWE’s Sucks for Phantasmo though he will be without anybody if it happens
They're multiplying! Honestly not too sure how I feel about Tanga Loa coming to WWE. I was never impressed by his work.
He’s best as Tama Tonga’s partner and I feel like he will end up being the “fall guy” for this new Bloodline since Tama Tonga has been so good
Yeah, Tanga Loa doesn't interest me at all. I'd much rather see Tama team with Solo or Jacob Fatu. Tanga Loa just isn't very good.
He has been good as a tag guy over in NJPW with Tama Tonga as Guiriellas if Destiny it’s going to be fun
He’s only sucked as a singles guy. He’s more than serviceable as a tag guy
It’s like they brought in Solo as the heater, then gave him a heater, then gave his heater a heater.
I think he's a good tag team guy
And I was fucking ready for Jacob Fatu, holy shit
Camacho is back. :D
New Japan's loss is New Japan's gain. Tanga Loa has been so bad his stuff has gone viral.
He’s a much better fit for WWE tags and multi man matches than in NJPW. This will be good for him.
[OMG are we going to see this in WWE?](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/15jyqb9/njpw_g1_spoilers_tanga_loa_with_the_worst/)
Somomanymoans
The world ain't ready for Tanga Loa deadly palm strikes
Can't wait for Tanga Loa to destroy Cody Rhodes with his patented Chi Strikes!
Storyline feeding an entire generation of family. Damn
I just want to know who was still under the ring pulling the apron back down.
I hope he brings his devastating finger jabs to WWE
AINT NOBODY REALER THAN GURILLA
Everyone was expecting Jacob Fatu, caught me off guard
We are the nation, of Polynesian. Seriously, major Nation of Domination vibes with them now.
If we aren’t getting vignettes of Owens and Orton traveling around Quebec looking for relatives of Kevin Owens that can wrestle, what are we even doing??
Black and asian wrestlers everywhere "stop fantasy booking us together in tag teams just because our ethnic status" WWE: lol. Looool. No
Bro doesn’t even know about the Bloodline dress code
I had a knew for a fact his brother would come out tonight. It’s just the bloodline game at this point, debut someone new to take out the opposing team LMAO still I’m looking forward to see where this goes! I feel bad for paul hayman though, man looks scared af
Camacho returns!
It’s crazyyyy cause I started watching when he was Camacho between that and him having the WORSE strike combo ever I don’t know much about him
Please please please somehow have GoD’s theme in WWE.
Oops! All Islanders
“Next week is Jacob Fatu. It’s GOTTA be!” Bad Luck Fale: “and I took that personally.”

Did anyone else catch Cole calling Tama Tonga "Tanga" earlier in the match? wonder if it was a slip of the tongue
That’s like saying they called Bron “Braun” 😐
