Another Anoa'i Family Member Hoping To Make WWE Return
Could we see another Anoa'i in WWE?
Feb 23, 2024
WWE absolutely loves the Anoa'i family and multiple generations of the family have competed for the company. The influence of the family arguably has never been stronger with The Rock, Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sikoa making up The Bloodline on WWE TV, while Ava, Jey Uso, and Naomi (through marriage) are other Anoa'i family members outside of the faction on WWE programming every week. The Rock is even part of the TKO Board of Directors.
Speaking with WrestlingNews.co, another member of the family in Lloyd Anoa'i has revealed they are hoping to land a job in WWE as a producer.
Addressing the modified Tribal Court segment from the January 23, 2023 episode of Raw, Lloyd (AKA LA Smooth) said:
"I was supposed to be there. They had us all coming in and one of us got sick. They wanted everybody there. They couldn't get everybody there. They changed the plans and all that. I'm trying to go back as a producer with them. I actually did the package for SummerSlam with my family. That was a great opportunity. We'll see what happens. Hopefully, somewhere down the line I can go back and be a producer and retire with that. I'm still wrestling but going on 37 years, I put in a lot of time."
Lloyd Anoa'i wrestled for WWE in the 1990s as Tahitian Savage and Fred Williams. He also had brief runs in Eastern Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling as Samoan Warrior and LA Smooth.
