He's in. There are certain wrestling families which have stuck around for several generations. These families will keep popping up with new members being added over and over again, often to quite the successful results. It can be a big deal when another member of the family is brought in, and now it seems to have happened again in WWE, though you wouldn't have noticed it yet.

A Twitter user named MuscleManMalcolm recently posted an image to Twitter showing independent star Lance Anoa'i in NXT gear at an NXT event. It was then stated that Anoa'i had signed with NXT, with Fightful Select reporting that the story is true, though Anoa'i is currently injured. There are currently no plans for Anoa'i to debut on television, as he is expected to be out of action for the foreseeable future. Anoa'i is part of the Anoa'i family and is the son of Headshrinker Samu.

Opinion: The family continues to grow and at this point it isn't even a surprise that WWE is signing another member. There are so many of them around but at the same time, most if not all of them are rather good at what they do. Anoa'i is someone with some experience on the independent circuit and bringing him into the WWE fold is far from the worst idea. It just might take a bit for that to happen.
