Jun 13, 2025

As noted before, former New Japan Pro Wrestling talent Hikuleo was scheduled to be in attendance for Friday’s WWE SmackDown show in Lexington, Kentucky. Hikuelo was rumored to potentially be making his official debut at the show.

Prior to the start of Friday’s SmackDown show, WWE held a new taping for WWE Main Event. This taping featured Hikuleo making his official in-ring debut in the company.

Hikuleo competed in a singles match against Kit Wilson, which was won by Hikuleo.

While Hikuleo had been rumored to potentially make an appearance during Friday’s SmackDown show and also potentially be revealed as the newest member of The Bloodline, this was not the case and he only appeared at the Main Event tapings.

This was Hikuleo’s first match since June of 2024 for NJPW.
