I could maybe see them lumping Tama in with the Bloodline just since he and Roman seem to be kind of bros, going by when they'd regularly rib each other on Twitter, but even then he'd probably be far better off doing his own thing. Yeah, it could go either way. Meng/Haku used to team with Rikishi's twin brother as the Islanders, and Rock has mentioned knowing him since he was like 5, so he considers him an "uncle" and bought him a pickup truck a few years back. Rock also cites Peter Maivia having something to do with Haku's training, but I'm unclear on when this would have taken place, as he was trained by Giant Baba. Maybe he did some shows in the Hawaii territory when he was still green and got some pointers, etc. Could also just be Dwayne stretching the truth in some capacity, hell if I know. So, the Tongans are sorta family in a sense, but not through marriage or blood, sort of like how Jimmy Snuka and his children similarly are treated as family by Rock.

It's not Giulia, apparently she's waiting a while before she heads to NXT

As a man just turning 41 today it makes me happy to see WWE using people up there in age. Priest and Knight for sure.
If this is Tama he isn't a spring chicken either.

Didn't spot Haku on the Bloodline Family Powerpoint Presentation so I guess when Rock said he's an uncle he was being a lot more metaphorical with it. Huh.
Always thought he was considered an honorary member of the family and thus Tama also. I stand corrected.

This is not how I expected Carlee Bright's debut on NXT to go down.

Going by the Youtube channel this whole thing leads to this is pretty much definitely Bo Dallas.

I'm stunned. NXT/WWE has this sort of "surprise factor" that they haven't had in years these days and I love it.

In terms of a major impact player, not that great of a hire.
But, in terms of a gatekeeper on the NXT brand who can serve as a player/coach to help guide and train those in the Performance Center, this is an excellent hire.

I am happy that we are continuing the legacy of Chair Pervert.

That’s what he was brought back for the first time but then the whole “10” gimmick took off and he ended up on the main roster

Very surprised, but I don't mind it at all, especially if he's still the chair pervert. Hopefully he sends Ridge's ass back to SD.

More surprised he got to go back as Shawn Spears rather than being called Tye Dillenger again.
