Vaughan Anoa'i was apparently being eyed by the Stamford-based promotion for recruitment to its star studded roster. However, there has been no official update on any progress in this direction yet.

While some fans may be excited to see another Samoan addition to Triple H's roster in the form of Vaughan Anoa'i, that may not happen anytime soon.

Speaking on Fatu off the Top podcast, Rikishi stated that he was all for Vaughan to try something different than the typical path her relatives chose. He said:

​

"I don't see her [joining WWE and the wrestling business], if in case, with a miracle, she convinced her dad [Black Pearl] and mom to go into the wrestling business. I always tell our kids, 'Go do something else, but always know it's there,''' he said. [17:37-17:57]

Vaughan certainly has the physical ability to be a commendable star in the pro wrestling business. Only time will tell whether she will follow in the footsteps of her cousins to join Triple H's roster some day down the line.
