Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
Sad thing is that were wasn’t even really competition to sign him. I mean NJPW would have re-signed him, NJPW isn’t really competition to WWE, and AEW wasn’t interested as far as I know. So it’s not like they were signing him just to pry him away from AEW like they’ve done with others and then turned them into just another person on the roster.
With both of his brothers going to WWE, there was a zero percent chance he would have considered signing with AEW.
I'd bet the only reason they signed homie was to use him for The Bloodline story and now that they pivoted and they're done with that shyt they don't know what to do with him![]()
Any plans probably went completely off the rails when Tonga Loa tore his bicep in November (and is still out). Tama Tonga is now out with an injury that needed surgery. Honestly wouldn't shock me if they release all three of them sooner rather than later.
