WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi recently issued a stern warning to the WWE locker room regarding Tama Tonga, the latest addition to The Bloodline.
Tonga made a dramatic debut on SmackDown, aligning himself with The Bloodline by attacking Jimmy Uso. Solo Sikoa then announced Tonga as his MFT (Main Force Tag team), showcasing a more ruthless side by targeting Kevin Owens in subsequent episodes. Rikishi, on his Rikishi Off The Top podcast, discussed Tonga’s background and the dangers he poses.
Rikishi Warns WWE Locker Room About Tama Tonga’s Arrival
“I know him since he was a baby, young. So, we all know the history of his father. He’s one of the baddest, toughest guys in the industry that’ll really rip off your nose, rip your ears off, probably throw it on a barbecue grill, and eat it if he wanted to. That’s how tough Haku is. And Tama Tonga, boy, he’s pretty tough. When I say pretty tough, that dude’s handsome, I mean look at him, he’s got a body like a GOD, right? But inside, man, that dude, boy is just that dark dark black heart in there,” Rikishi expressed.
He further emphasized the sinister nature lurking beneath Tonga’s exterior, cautioning WWE talent to be wary of his potential for brutality.
“That dark Tonga in heart that’s ready to just, you know, hit you with the spike if he had to. So, if I was anybody in the WWE, I would say TMD, I would say in the WWE that they need to look out and watch out for Tama Tonga cause the Tonga man is coming.” [From 05:36 to 06:39]
