The world of professional wrestling is known for its high-flying action, intense rivalries, and dramatic storylines. However, sometimes it’s the behind-the-scenes moments that steal the show. Last night’s SmackDown episode was no exception, as a hilarious backstage clip featuring Tama Tonga, the newest addition to The Bloodline, had fans and wrestlers alike in stitches. Among those who couldn’t resist the humor was former AEW star Joey Janela, who reacted to the amusing moment on Twitter.
The clip in question showed Tama Tonga, gearing up for his match against LA Knight, making strange sounds and grunts in the locker room. The unusual noises, which resembled a mix of animal calls and primal screams, left many in the wrestling community giggling. Joey Janela, known for his own eccentric personality, was quick to chime in on the fun, acknowledging the humor in the situation.
Tama Tonga, along with his brother Tanga Loa, has been making waves since joining The Bloodline, a faction led by Solo Sikoa in the absence of Roman Reigns. With Paul Heyman’s guidance, the group has been on a dominant streak, taking down top superstars like Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. Tama Tonga, in particular, has been impressive, racking up three consecutive wins in his first three matches, including a Street Fight victory at Backlash and a successful singles debut against Angelo Dawkins in the King of the Ring tournament.
The Samoan superstar’s winning streak continued last night, as he defeated LA Knight in the second round of the King of the Ring tournament. His next challenge will be a daunting one, as he faces off against Randy Orton in the finals of the SmackDown bracket. Meanwhile, on the RAW side, Gunther and Jey Uso will clash to determine their representative in the overall tournament finals.
As the wrestling world looks forward to these exciting matchups, the lighthearted moment between Tama Tonga and Joey Janela serves as a reminder that, amidst the intense drama and rivalries, there’s room for humor and camaraderie in professional wrestling.
