Hikuleo made his WWE debut on Saturday, helping Solo Sikoa win the WWE United States Championship at Night of Champions.
As Jacob Fatu began to dominate the singles match, JC Mateo made his way to ringside from the entrance.
With the referee distracted, a returning Tonga Loa emerged and attacked Fatu. This was not enough for Solo to achieve a three-count, however.
Then Hikuleo made his debut while the referee was again distracted by Loa and Mateo. He was not named by commentary, other than being identified as the brother of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.

He chokeslammed Fatu onto the announce desk after yelling, “You had everything!” This allowed Solo to deliver the Samoan Spike for the win.
Hikuleo, 34, spent the majority of his career, from 2016 to 2024, wrestling for New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
During his tenure in NJPW, he was a long-time member of the Bullet Club faction. He captured the IWGP Tag Team Championship on one occasion with El Phantasmo, and also held the NJPW Strong Openweight Championship.
