Tonga Loa has made an impact in WWE since arriving at Backlash France and is now slated to work his first match back in the company.
Loa’s return happened when The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga vs. Kevin Owens and Randy Orton occurred, as Loa came out to pull out the referee during a pin attempt. Solo followed up with the Samoan spike for the win. Loa previously worked for WWE from 2009 to 2014 under the Camacho name, where he was mostly used as a lower-tier star. He had a run with Hunico as a tag team.
While Tama and Loa have joined The Bloodline, Jimmy Uso has been kicked out of the group as Solo has taken over the leader role of the faction since Roman Reigns is not around after taking time off from WWE television once he lost the Undisputed WWE Title to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL.
WWE has announced that the former NJPW wrestler is slated to team up with Sikoa to take on The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) next week on SmackDown. Here is the updated card for the show:
King of the Ring Semifinals: Randy Orton vs. Tama Tonga
Queen of the Ring Semifinals: Bianca Belair vs. Nia Jax
The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa and Tonga Loa) vs. The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford)
AJ Styles meets with SmackDown GM Nick Aldis.
Non-Title Match: Women’s Champion Bayley vs. Chelsea Green
