As Tama Tonga advances to the King of the Ring tournament quarterfinals, the MFT has yet to deliver his first promo. Staying silent, much like Solo Sikoa did, fans wondered what could be the reason for this persona. Comparing him to his work in NJPW, it is clear this was a choice to stay silent. Moreover, fans wondered why Tonga does his head-jerking movement during backstage segments. Does all this add up to the mystery of his character, or does it have a deeper meaning?

Tonga was in action on WWE SmackDown. He faced LA Knight in the quarterfinals of the King of the Ring tournament. Winning the match with some help from The Bloodline, he has progressed to the semi-finals.

When talking about Tonga’s silent appearance in the WWE, one need not look any further than his adoptive father, Haku. Despite delivering a few promos in his career, Haku was always the strong, silent type. Tonga may be following in his footsteps in what could be a tribute to his adoptive father. As far as the backstage head movement and noises are concerned, they are part of his gimmick, which will be explained later. Fans have also noticed him doing this in NJPW.

Even his brother Tonga Loa has yet to speak. Fans speculate that this will follow Solo Sikoa’s storyline, where he didn’t speak much as the enforcer of The Bloodline. Tonga is currently the MFT to Sikoa, which basically makes him the enforcer. Fans are waiting to see where the WWE takes this storyline and who will be the first to feud before Roman Reigns returns to take The Bloodline back. Another revelation was made that Sikoa is in contact with Reigns.

The speculated storyline for Reigns upon his return is teaming up with The Usos. While their sibling feud was enjoyable, fans love the two together. The brothers’ chemistry is unmatched. However, the WWE is waiting for Reigns to make his return before reuniting them.

If Reigns sees the new Bloodline 2.0, he will require backup to face the young Samoan warriors. There are also rumors that Jacob Fatu will be debuting sometime soon. However, no confirmation has been provided as to when. What do you think of Tonga’s silent demeanor? Tell us in the comments down below.
