Picture of Bloodline member Tonga Loa and his scars following brutal WWE SmackDown beatdown surfaces [SPOILER]
A picture of Tonga Loa from next week's taped episode of WWE SmackDown has surfaced online. The blue brand filmed the July 26 episode following last Friday's episode due to the company's upcoming tour of Japan, so there are quite a bit of spoilers available online.
"The Infamous" helped The Bloodline take out Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens this past Friday on WWE SmackDown in Omaha, Nebraska. Loa suffered an eye injury after Owens relentlessly attacked his eye during the post-match brawl.
The 41-year-old WWE Superstar sold the injury throughout the entire attack on Rhodes and Owens. He was even having difficulty putting his right arm up to point to the sky to end the show.
In the photo uploaded by a fan on X, formerly known as Twitter, Tonga Loa's selling reached a new level. Loa was seen sporting an eye patch like a pirate, which can be seen on next week's episode of WWE SmackDown.
In addition to the segment with The Bloodline on next week's episode, Loa is scheduled to team up with brother Tama Tonga and participate in the Tag Team Turmoil to determine the No. 1 contender for the WWE Tag Team Championships currently held by Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa.
Tonga Loa sends a message to Kevin Owens
While Tonga Loa will sell his eye injury next week on the blue brand, he sent a message to Kevin Owens following this Friday's episode. WWE's camera crew caught up with The Bloodline after the show went off the air.
Here's what Loa said:
"It ain't over, KO! It ain't over!"
The Bloodline has been on a roll since WrestleMania XL despite the absence of Roman Reigns. Solo Sikoa has completely taken over the group and brought in new members. Sikoa is also set to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
There have been rumors of a potential return for Reigns at the event, but there could be another twist coming. WWE has reportedly signed Hikuleo, who is the real-life younger brother of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. The company also recently trademarked the name Talla Tonga, which could be reserved for the former NJPW star.
