WWE's new Samoan signing could debut before Survivor Series, says Bill Apter: "I've known him since he was a baby" (Exclusive)

The Samoan dynasty keeps growing in WWE as reports suggest the company has signed another Anoa’i family member, former MLW star, Lance Anoa'i. Bill Apter opened up about Lance Anoa’i and what fans should expect from the real-life Bloodline member.

Having wrestled on the independent circuit for over a decade, Lance Anoa’i has undoubtedly worked hard to secure a reported WWE contract that, as Fightful revealed, was signed a while back.

Bill Apter has known Samu's son since he was a child and praised Lance's in-ring work during the latest episode of Smack Talk.

The respected journalist had kept track of Lance Anoa’i throughout his run on the indies and was looking forward to seeing him soon inside the WWE ring.

Both the current versions of The Bloodline require a fifth member for their upcoming WarGames match and Apter wouldn't mind seeing Lance potentially debut before Survivor Series.

"I predicted that. He has been in the indies for about 12 years and I've known him since he was a baby. He is the son of Afa's son Samu. He is a very good worker, looks great, works great in the ring, and for them to bring him out and introduce him somewhere in the next week or so before the Survivor Series. I think that would be great. But who's going to be on the Babyface team? Who is going to be the fifth guy there? Is there another Samoan out there? Well there are, there are hundreds of them out there." [From 21:34 onwards]

The Fightful report stated that Lance Anoa’i is currently injured and there aren't any updates on when he could get cleared.

Survivor Series takes place at the end of November and despite the obvious injury setback, there could be a slight possibility of Lance joining the Bloodline saga.
