In the report, Meltzer said, “I don’t know if they will be signed but there has been talk internally in WWE of late about Richard Holliday because of the story of his beating cancer. And, in Tama Tonga, who there has been talk about for some time.”
Not just the report, but the 40-year-old former ‘Bullet Club” member Tama Tonga also confessed a few months ago that WWE has been showing interest in him.
Tama Tonga has been doing great in the New Japan Pro Wrestling. He has 13 title reigns there and fans are swooning over his in-ring performance. So it is pretty obvious that Triple H would be interested in bringing him to his roster.
