WWE There were two new WWE Bloodline monikers revealed by Paul Heyman to kick off tonight’s June 7 edition of SmackDown.
To open tonight’s episode of SmackDown, an in-ring segment from the Bloodline 2.0, helmed by Solo Sikoa.
With the ‘anointment ceremony’ in the ring, Paul Heyman reulcantly declared that there were brand new names to reflect the designations of two recently added members.
Heyman shared that he was there to inform the Louisville crowd that Tama Tonga would now be known as ‘Tama Tonga – the Right Hand Man’.
Corey Graves later noted on commentary that it felt ‘dirty to say’, as fans may recall that the ‘Right Hand Man’ moniker was previously bestowed upon Jey Uso in the original Roman Reigns-led version of the Bloodline.
Also given a new nickname was Tonga Loa, who Paul Heyman repeatedly referred to as ‘The Infamous’ Tonga Loa.
Standing between Tonga and Loa, Paul Heyman seemed particularly concerned for his safety.
With Tama Tonga telling Heyman that they saved him last week from Kevin Owens by orders of the Tribal Chief, their intimidation of him seemed clear as Tonga reminded him they could have left him to get destroyed by Owens.
Eventually Kevin Owens would run in, but after the Bloodline kept the numbers advantage in the melee, the Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) who also have had run-ins with the Bloodline, ran out to make the save.
After the commercial break, Solo Sikoa was shown shouting at Paul Heyman in a backstage segment and demanding that the previously brokered match Heyman had announced be changed to a three-on-three match.
He punctuated his threat by noting that if Paul Heyman didn’t get that done, that tonight’s main event would be in the Bloodline locker room featuring Tama Tonga versus Paul Heyman.
The six-man tag match was later made official.
