The appearance followed weeks of frustration for the brothers, who recently ended their alliance with Solo Sikoa after a series of losses.
Looking to chart a new path, the duo discussed focusing on family and tag team gold.
Carrying a traditional club, the Hall of Fame-caliber veteran entered the backstage area to issue a direct directive to his sons.
"Don't forget who you are. You are the sons of Haku… Go make them fear us again!"
declared Haku.
The veteran's message immediately altered the brothers' trajectory from serving other leaders to building their own family legacy.

Later in the broadcast, the influence spilled into the ring following a no-contest finish in the tag team championship match.
As a chaotic brawl erupted around ringside involving Damian Priest, Ron "The Truth" Killings, and The War Raiders, Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga ambushed both teams.
Talla chokeslammed Killings into the ring post and hit Priest with another chokeslam, while Tama executed a Cutthroat on Erik.
Haku then joined his sons inside the ring as the trio celebrated over the downed competitors.
They raised both the AAA Men's Tag Team and WWE Men's Tag Team Championships high above their heads to signal their intent to capture the titles.
