While the fifth member is yet to be named, the WWE Universe has been anticipating Lance Anoa'i joining the faction. The latter recently signed with WWE and has been seemingly sidelined with an injury lately.

During a recent Off The Top Live with fans, Rikishi addressed Lance Anoa'i's signing with WWE NXT and stated that he was proud to see the star finally make it to the Stamford-based company after much hard work. Not only that, but the Hall of Famer also stated that injuries are a part of the game, adding that he was happy to see a new journey in his nephew's life.

“I’m so proud of my nephew. Lance has put in the work for a minute. He’s been out there in the independent circuit, and he’s been ready. Finally now, the company sees fit to sign Lance up. And injuries take a play in this entertainment sport of ours. You can be ready and get ready to come, and who knows, you tweak your knee, and you have to get knee surgery or whatever the case may be... But I’m very happy that Lance is onto the next journey of his life in professional wrestling,” said Rikishi [39:36 onwards]

Who would join The OG Bloodline as the fifth member?

While the fifth member mystery continues to be solved for Roman Reigns' faction, it seems Seth Rollins would reunite with his former Shield brother to take on The Bloodline.
