[Photo] Bloodline member bandaged up in Japan; still reeling from brutal Kevin Owens beatdown
WWE Superstar Kevin Owens' beatdown of a current Bloodline member has seemingly forced the latter to bandage up during WWE's tour of Japan. The name in question is Tonga Loa.
On last week's episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens teamed up to face A-Town Down Under's Grayson Waller and Austin Theory, which ended in Rhodes and Owens' favor. After their match, The Bloodline appeared to take out The American Nightmare and his teammate. However, KO brutally attacked Tonga Loa's eye, and the latter was seen holding it throughout the segment.
During WWE's house show in Osaka, Japan, Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga defeated the team of Kevin Owens and LA Knight. However, a fan noticed how Tonga Loa was wearing an eye patch during the live event, taking his injury selling to another level. They recently took to X (Twitter) to upload a photo of the 41-year-old star.

Tommy Dreamer wants The Bloodline's Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga to win the WWE Tag Team Championship
During an edition of the Busted Open podcast, Tommy Dreamer mentioned that Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa have a rich history as a tag team in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW).
Dreamer also mentioned that the Triple H-led promotion should put the WWE Tag Team Championship on the Tongan brothers.
"If we go history, we go with the brothers. They were tag team champions in New Japan, [and] had a great, successful run. I don't know where you go. I think I'd pattern it after what The Bloodline was given the two, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, I'd put it on them. They're the established brothers' tag team. And, you know, Jacob Fatu is now kinda just playing the role of Solo cuz Solo is playing the role of Roman. And you have all your pieces together," he added.
Many fans believe Roman Reigns will return at SummerSlam to start a feud with Solo Sikoa's Bloodline. It will be interesting to see what the Stamford-based promotion has planned for the villainous stable's future.
