The Backlash Premium Live Event started with a bang as Kevin Owens and Randy Orton squared off against Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga in an intense street fight. This match not only featured high-octane action but also the in-ring debut of Tanga Loa, signaling a new chapter for WWE’s Bloodline storyline. The chaotic bout ended with Tanga Loa’s dramatic appearance, which helped Solo Sikoa secure the win for his team.
Reports from Wrestling Observer Radio revealed that the contract agreements for Tanga Loa and Tama Tonga with WWE were finalized together, but Tanga Loa’s transition was kept secret because New Japan Pro-Wrestling didn’t announce his contract expiration or give him a formal farewell. The agreements were decided on months ago, even though Tanga Loa’s debut seemed to come out of nowhere.
Tanga Loa’s deal and Tama Tonga’s were actually together, it’s just that with Tanga Loa, it didn’t get out because New Japan never announced his contract expiring, they never gave him a farewell. WWE obviously never announces anything like this, but this is not like something from the last two weeks, this deal was decided on months ago.
