Lance Anoa’i, son of Samu and cousin of Roman Reigns, has confirmed his arrival in WWE through a social media post featuring Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels. The third-generation wrestler signed with WWE last summer but has remained off television due to an undisclosed injury.
The Future is looking Bright!
The 32-year-old wrestler previously appeared on WWE programming as an enhancement talent, including a notable appearance on Monday Night RAW in 2019 during Roman Reigns’ rivalry with Shane McMahon. The latest post, featuring the NXT logo in the background, indicates his path in WWE will begin under Shawn Michaels’ guidance.
Rikishi initially confirmed Lance’s signing through a Facebook post last year. The timing of his in-ring debut and potential involvement with either of the current Bloodline factions remains to be determined.
