Who is the new member of Anoa'i that can make his debut in WWE?
The Anoa’i family has undoubtedly been the most dominant wrestling family in the history of the sport If a family has members like, The Rock, Yokozuna, Rikishi, Roman Reigns, The Usos, Solo Sikoa, Afa, Sika, Umaga, one can imagine just the passion that flows in the family.
To add to the list of Samoan Superstars, Rikishi recently posted a photo of his fourth son introducing him to the pro-wrestling audience, Solo and the Usos’ brother Jeremiah who goes by the nameofThamikoT. Fatu was introduced by his father, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi on Instagram recently with the caption,
"Another one. Get ready #thamikotuuhetokafatu #Tokollso THAMI KO T. FATU #FatuLegacy for bookings contact link in bio.. tows
The list of accolades by the Anoa’i family are too many to list dating back to the 80s when High Cheif Peter Maivia, Afa and Sika (The Wild Samoans) were the big players in the game. The family name was then carried further by the likes of WWE Hall of Famers, Yokozuna and Rikishi who ruled the 90s along with arguably the biggest drawer in the pro-wrestling business, Dwayne 'The Rock’ Johnson.
Umaga was portrayed as a dominant Somoan bulldozer in the late 2000s who unfortunately passed away before he could reach his fullest potential in WWE. The 2010s saw the rise of the next generation of the Anoa’i family to dominate the tag division of WWE for almost a decade in the form of Jey and Jimmy Usos.
They are currently one of the best tag-team in the sport. 2022 saw the call-up of their younger brother Solo Sikoa to the main roster from NXT, who has been a wrecking force for the Bloodline since his debut in September last year.
Apart from them, the biggest star that the WWE got from this family is the current reigning defending undisputed Universal WWE Champion Roman Reigns. His title reign is set to complete 1000 days which has not been seen in the past 40 years of the championship. It is not at all surprising how successful most of the members from the family have been looking at the level of effort they put into their work.
Yokozuna was known for his skills in the ring despite being over 500 pounds, unfortunately, passed away in 2000 at a very young age. He is still looked upon by all his peers as a great professional wrestler.
Dwayne 'The Rock’ Johnson became one of the top-grossing actors in Hollywood after ruling the most successful era in pro-wrestling along with the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, The Undertaker, Mankind and fellow Samoan Rikishi. Apart from the success in WWE, Rikishi also had brief runs in other promotions such as TNA in the early 2000s.
Looking at the rich history of this family, it won’t be surprising to see Thamiko in WWE and put on a dominant performance just like his brothers and other family members.
