Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day.
• On tonight’s SmackDown, Chelsea Green lost to Bianca Belair. After the show went off the air, Chelsea listed the following excuses for her loss:
“I truly only lost tonight because:
1) I travelled across the continent
2) I was absolutely jet lagged
3) My spray tan was terrible
4) I was severely dehydrated
5) My protein intake was lacking
6) The ref was definitely bias… clearly”

• In June, Bodyslam reported that former NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion Hikuleo was likely leaving New Japan Pro-Wrestling for WWE. On Friday, Fightful Select confirmed with WWE sources that Hikuleo has indeed signed with the company, making the long-rumored move official.
He is expected to join The Bloodline alongside his brothers Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, with whom he previously teamed in NJPW as part of the Guerrillas of Destiny stable.
Although Fightful couldn’t confirm Hikuleo’s start date, WWE has not rushed to introduce new Bloodline members immediately after signing them, as seen with Jacob Fatu’s delayed debut. WWE had been interested in Hikuleo since January 2023, but an informal hiring freeze led him to sign a one-year extension with NJPW, which expired last month.
Hikuleo is also a former STRONG Openweight Tag Team Champion and IWGP Tag Team Champion with his partner El Phantasmo.
