Tanga Loa Helps Tama Tonga, Solo Sikoa Beat Randy Orton, Kevin Owens at WWE Backlash

Bloodline members Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga defeated Randy Orton and Kevin Owens in a tag team match at WWE Backlash on Saturday.

SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis made this a Street Fight after a frenetic start before the opening bell even rang.

That helped pave the way for the debut of Tanga Loa, the newest member of The Bloodline. He pulled the referee out of the ring as Owens was moments away from victory.

In the wake of Roman Reigns dropping the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 40, sweeping changes took place within The Bloodline.

Seemingly against the wishes of both Paul Heyman and Reigns, the latter of whom has not been seen on WWE programming since ‘Mania, Sikoa took it upon himself to add a new member to the group.

On the first SmackDown after The Show of Shows, he noted that losing has consequences in reference to his brother, Jimmy Uso, who was defeated by Jey Uso at WrestleMania.

That led to Tonga making his WWE debut by attacking Jimmy from behind. Sikoa put the exclamation point on kicking Jimmy out of The Bloodline by putting him down with a Samoan Spike.

One week later, Sikoa made it clear that he was targeting Owens, and Tonga ingratiated himself to Solo by pulling KO down the ramp and leaving him a bloody mess.

Owens fought back the following week, and while it looked like he was going to be on the wrong end of a two-on-one beatdown once again, Orton made the save.

Leading up to WrestleMania 40, Orton and Owens struck up a friendship and teamed together on a few occasions. They also both faced Logan Paul in a Triple Threat match for the United States Championship.

On top of their issues with Paul, Owens and Orton each have a history with The Bloodline as well, which prompted them to fight on a united front.

Owens and Orton are two of the best singles wrestlers in WWE, but their star power was not enough to overcome familial ties of Sikoa and Tonga, who scored a massive victory for The Bloodline at Backlash.

And the stable has grown even stronger with the addition of Tanga Loa.
