During Saturday’s WWE Backlash: France pay-per-view event, The Bloodline (Tama Tonga & Solo Sikoa) (w/ Paul Heyman) defeated Randy Orton & Kevin Owens in a Tag Team Street Fight.
Owens was about to pin Tonga before the debuting Tanga Loa got involved. Owens nailed Tonga with a brainbuster off the top rope onto a pile of chairs. He went for the cover, but Loa pulled the referee out of the ring.
Loa struck Owens and Orton with the steel steps, leading to Sikoa and Tonga’s victory.
While Solo’s group emerged victorious, his cousin, Jey Uso failed to score a win in Lyon. Uso lost to WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest at the event.
Jey was shown preparing for his match backstage when Sikoa, Tama, and Tanga came in. They looked at Jey before walking away. Heyman looked at Jey, shook his head, and left with the heel group.
For those of you who don’t know, Tanga Loa wrestled for WWE from 2009 to 2014 before signing with TNA.
In 2016, Loa signed with NJPW and was a regular performer in the company.
As of this writing, Loa is currently signed to WWE and is part of the SmackDown brand alongside The Bloodline.
