The Anoa'i family has a rich history in wrestling, and many have worked in WWE over the past few decades. Recently, real-life Bloodline member Afa Anoa'i Jr., fka Manu, teased a return to the Stamford-based promotion.
Over a decade ago, Manu was in World Wrestling Entertainment alongside Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. However, the run was short-lived, and the Samoan star was released at the beginning of 2009 after his last match for the company was aired in 2008 on Monday Night Raw.
In an interview with MuscleManMalcolm, the 40-year-old star was asked if he would ever return to the Stamford-based company. The Samoan star responded that anything could happen in the wrestling business. He also hyped up The Bloodline and added that the role didn't matter and that he proudly represents them already.

"Anything can happen. Anything can happen in pro-wrestling, baby. You know how it is. We're The Bloodline. We ain't going nowhere. Regardless of it on-screen, behind the scenes, or whatever, I ain't going nowhere. The Bloodline is going to be here for a long time," Manu said. [From 01:50 to 02:06]

Afa Jr. always wanted to see Jacob Fatu in WWE
After joining WWE, Jacob Fatu dominated Friday Night SmackDown as Solo Sikoa's Enforcer initially. Later, The Samoan Werewolf carved his path to the top of the midcard and won the United States Championship from LA Knight at WrestleMania 41.
In an older interview with MuscleManMalcolm, Afa Anoa'i Jr. had massively praised Jacob Fatu a year before the 33-year-old had made his presence felt on WWE's main roster in June 2024.
"Jacob's a killer man. Jacob's going to go right to the top. Once he goes wherever it is that he's going to go, you know. No spoilers from me, but whenever he pops up on national TV, he's going to be a killer. He's going to be a top guy. He's going to be the one to reckon with for years to come, that's for sure," he said. [From 7:55 to 8:15]
It will be interesting to see if Afa Anoa'i Jr. appears for WWE again.
