Anoa’i Family Member Addresses Rumors About Joining WWE Bloodline Faction

WWE

An Anoa’i family member has addressed rumors about him potentially joining Roman Reigns’ Bloodline faction in WWE.

There have been several changes to the Bloodline lineup this year, with the likes of Sami Zayn, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso leaving the group, but Jimmy Uso aligning himself with Roman Reigns once again.

Speaking with WrestlingNews.co, Lance Anoa’i noted that even his friends have been hearing rumors about him possibly returning to WWE to join the top faction:

“So I have a friend, he goes, ‘Oh, man, are you going to Saudi?’ I said, ‘No.’ He goes, ‘Oh, man, I’m reading all over the Internet that you’re running in and you’re costing LA Knight.

“I heard also you’re costing Cody where he’s not finishing his story at WrestleMania.’ I said, ‘Man, you know, Philadelphia’s only an hour away, so you just never know.”

Squashing any rumors about him having discussions about joining the Bloodline, Lance said:

“No, no discussion at all. Nothing at all, I haven’t heard from them. Like I said, I talk to my cousins every day.

“I don’t know if they got something brewing that I don’t know about, but I just gotta keep preparing myself and be ready when that time comes, and I’m ready to go. We don’t know nothing yet. I’m hoping.

“I want to be with them, but at the moment, I’m just enjoying watching them and watching everyone succeed. I guess my career is still young, so man, I got plenty of juice ready, and ready to go.”

Pitching a dream match, he noted:

“I think NXT could sure use a Samoan in there. We need Jimmy, Solo, and Roman versus me, Jacob [Jacob Fatu], and Jey Uso. There’s my dream match.”

Lance has competed as an enhancement talent on several occasions for WWE, most recently wrestling on the May 27, 2019 edition of Raw against Shane McMahon.

Lance and Roman Reigns are first cousins once removed, with Lance’s grandfather (Afa Anoa’i) and Reigns’ father (Sika Anoa’i) being brothers, and former Wild Samoan tag partners.
