Opinion: This is something that WWE has do something every so often and it can offer quite the combination of talent. On one hand you have Anoa’i, who has a good deal of experience on the independent circuit and on the other you have a bunch of people that WWE can mold in whatever way they choose. That makes for some interesting situations and now we get to see where all of this goes.
