“Very Proud”: Tama Tonga’s Father Haku Gives First Impression of MFT’s Role in The Bloodline

Tama Tonga surprised wrestling fans with his WWE debut. Ever since his last contract had ended, there were speculations of him being WWE-bound. However, not much was confirmed until Solo Sikoa introduced the Tongan wrestler to the fans as the latest Bloodline member. He replaced the older Uso while The Tribal Chief was on a break.

His electrifying debut marked some interesting changes in the power dynamics of The Bloodline, making it a memorable moment on SmackDown after WrestleMania XL. Recently, his father had the opportunity to share his feelings about what he thinks of his son’s big WWE debut.

Tama Tonga made his father proud

Haku appeared on CBS Detroit for a short interview alongside another fellow wrestler. When the interviewer arrived at King Tonga, his first question was about the former wrestler’s adopted son. The Friday Night SmackDown episode in which Tama Tonga debuted, took place in Little Caesar’s Arena in Detroit, so the topic was bound to come up. When asked about what he thinks of the debut segment, Haku replied, “Very proud. To have that opportunity in this great country, America.”

The wrestling legend feels grateful that he and his son received the opportunity to become respectful pro wrestlers in the US. This leaves him feeling proud of the ‘MFT’. All this while, the interviewer didn’t ask Haku to share his thoughts on what his son has been doing in the promotion. Merely a week in as a Bloodline member, the Bullet Club founder is already wreaking havoc for his co-stars.

Recently, Tama Tonga supported the new Bloodline leader in beating down Kevin Owens and offering some final blows in a ruthless in-ring segment. A WWE legend has spoken on the same.

WWE legend talks about Tonga and Solo Sikoa’s guideline breach

The Stamford-based company started crossing the TV-PG guidelines when The Rock returned to the promotion this year. His promos started including more than one ‘F-bombs’ and blood. WWE had distanced itself from both of these things over the years. But now that it was back, it restricted itself only to the feud in which Dwayne Johnson was involved.

Now even after he went on a hiatus, WWE is continuing the bloody promos. On Friday Night SmackDown a week after Tama Tonga’s debut, he was caught in a promo alongside Solo Sikoa, beating up KO.

Mark Henry talked about the bloody promo on his podcast and shed light on how WWE could be changing permanently, taking gradual steps towards being more open. All of these changes after Tama Tonga’s debut are bound to make his father feel proud.
