Fans at the Little Caesars Arena in midtown Detroit were not expecting SmackDown to be that explosive. The Bloodline was ready to make a statement after their massive loss at WrestleMania XL. Despite Roman Reigns not being present; the debut of Tama Tonga made a loud impact on the show. But who is he, and what’s his personal life like?
Tonga debuted by beating down and kicking out Jimmy Uso. For now, Solo Sikoa seems to be running The Bloodline, much to Paul Heyman‘s dismay.

Alipate Aloisio Leone, a.k.a Tama Tonga, is a Tongan-born professional wrestler. The adoptive son of wrestling legend Haku, he gained notoriety in New Japan Pro Wrestling. He was also part of the Bullet Club and worked in Impact Wrestling. While his career in the industry reads like an open book, his personal life does not. Despite knowing that he is married, no one seems to know who he’s married to.

Tonga tied the knot in 2017 in a very private ceremony. Only he and his wife’s family were in attendance. Following this, he has kept his family away from the public’s prying eyes. The NJPW star has not even revealed her name or how they ended up together. This showcases Tonga’s respect for his family and his choice not to reveal much. As for his family, he has an adoptive brother named Tevita and a biological one named Taula. Both have wrestled in NJPW. As for children, that is a mystery, too. There are no pictures of his family life, only speculations and rumors. Maybe while with the WWE, he may divulge this information.
Nevertheless, Tonga has made a splash upon his debut but the prime question emerges over whether Roman Reigns was kept in the loop for the former NJPW star’s debut.
Does Roman Reigns know about the new member of The Bloodline?

With Tonga joining The Bloodline, there is no word whether Roman Reigns is aware of this. While he did mention by orders of the Tribal Chief, Sikoa’s actions speak otherwise. What was set out to be just an address to the fans on SmackDown turned into the exile of Jimmy Uso.

Heyman was seen trying to call Reigns, only for Sikoa to take away the phone and smash it. This indicated that Sikoa was the one calling the shorts. However, it could also be Dwayne Johnson, who brought Tonga into the group to execute his orders. This has been an exciting turn of events in The Bloodline’s story. What do you think?
