Tama Tonga’s WWE debut with the Bloodline faction has sparked backstage reactions that shed light on his impact within the company.
Since his arrival on the April 12 edition of SmackDown, where he filled in for Jimmy Uso under Solo Sikoa’s directive, Tonga has been involved in significant matches. Notable among these was his victory alongside Solo Sikoa in a Street Fight against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton at WWE Backlash, as well as his impressive performance in the semi-finals of the 2024 King of the Ring tournament.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Tonga’s contributions have surprised many backstage, with consensus emerging that he’s among the company’s top talents:
“Tama Tonga’s one of the best guys they’ve got. He’s been working great. Everyone’s been surprised at how good he was. I think they knew he was good, but he’s really turned it on.”
“One of the things with the guys when they come from Japan, they’re just used to a faster style so they stand out more when they come in, because they’re working that more relentless, more physical, more intense style, and that’s what he’s been doing.”
In a further development, Tonga’s brother and former NJPW star, Tonga Loa, has also been incorporated into the Bloodline faction, marking an expansion of their presence within WWE.
As the Bloodline continues to dominate WWE storylines, the addition of Tama Tonga and now Tonga Loa only amplifies their power and influence. Fans and insiders alike are eager to see how these new dynamics will unfold, promising more thrilling developments and high-stakes matches in the weeks to come.
