Lance Anoa’i Joins WWE NXT: Another Bloodline Member Enters The Family Business

One Big Thing

Lance Anoa’i, cousin to Roman Reigns and The Usos, has officially signed with WWE NXT, expanding The Bloodline’s presence in WWE’s developmental system.

Why It Matters

The addition of Lance Anoa’i strengthens WWE’s connection to the legendary Anoa’i wrestling dynasty and potentially adds another layer to The Bloodline storyline, which has been WWE’s most dominant narrative for the past three years.

By The Numbers

• Lance previously appeared in WWE, including a notable 2019 match against Shane McMahon
• He’s a former MLW Tag Team Champion
• This marks the 4th generation of Anoa’i family members in WWE

Key Details

• Lance appears in official WWE NXT photo alongside other new signees
• Notable recruits include:
– Trill Williams (former Miami Dolphins safety)
– Elijah Holyfield (son of boxing legend Evander Holyfield)
– Zaria (formerly known as Delta)

The Bigger Picture

Lance joins NXT at a time when The Bloodline storyline continues to dominate WWE programming. His presence could eventually factor into main roster storylines, particularly given his legitimate family connections to Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Solo Sikoa.

Looking Ahead

Lance will likely start his WWE journey in NXT, where he might cross paths with another recent signee, Hikuleo (brother of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa), who has yet to make his debut.

Bottom Line

Lance Anoa’i’s signing represents WWE’s continued investment in both legacy talent and The Bloodline’s future storyline potential.
