In a thrilling bout on WWE SmackDown, Tama Tonga, the newest member of the Bloodline, made history by winning his first singles match since joining the Stamford-based promotion. This significant win propels Tonga to the next round of the coveted King of The Ring Tournament, with the finals set to take place at the King and Queen of the Ring PLE later this month.
The match, initially scheduled against Bobby Lashley, saw a last-minute substitution when Lashley was pulled due to an injury. Angelo Dawkins, a member of the Pride stable, stepped in to replace Lashley, but it was Tonga who dominated the match from the start, showcasing his versatility and cunning ring presence. Dawkins made a valiant effort to mount a comeback, but Tonga’s ruthless nature took over, sealing his victory.
The turning point of the match came when Tanga Loa and Solo Sikoa brutally attacked Montez Ford, who was at ringside, creating a significant distraction that allowed Tonga to capitalize and claim the win. This strategic move echoed the Bloodline’s infamous tactics, demonstrating their ability to bend the rules to secure a win.
Tama Tonga’s rapid rise to fame can be attributed to his recent alignment with the Bloodline, following his impressive debut on TV just a few weeks ago. His participation in WWE Backlash, where he emerged victorious alongside Tanga Loa against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton, showcased his potential and hinted at a promising future.
As Tonga advances to the next round of the King of The Ring Tournament, fans can expect more intense matches and thrilling encounters. With the support of the Bloodline, Tonga’s momentum is bound to continue, and it will be exciting to see how far he can go in this prestigious tournament.
