The Bloodline has soared to new heights since WrestleMania 40, cementing their dominance across WWE. Their ruthless grip was momentarily loosened last week on SmackDown when Tonga Loa suffered a brutal eye injury. As the WWE Universe braces for a showdown between Cody Rhodes and the new Tribal Chief, Solo Sikoa, at SummerSlam 2024, the stakes have never been higher. Rhodes’ prized championship is on the line, a prize that has driven weeks of relentless conflict.
Allies in the Crosshairs
Rhodes has not walked this treacherous path alone. His allies, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens have become prime targets for Sikoa’s vengeance. The Viper faced a brutal assault, culminating in a devastating slam through the announcer’s table. Meanwhile, Owens managed to strike back last week, temporarily tipping the scales. Tonga Loa’s portrayal of his injury has only intensified the rivalry, drawing fans deeper into the storyline.
A Daring Display: Tonga Loa and the Eye Patch
On the July 19th episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Cody Rhodes set the tone by calling out the Bloodline and Solo Sikoa for their attack on Orton. The interruption by A-Town Down Under led to Rhodes challenging Nick Aldis for a match, contingent on finding a partner. Despite Sikoa’s warning that aiding Rhodes would place anyone on the Bloodline’s radar, Kevin Owens stepped up to the plate.
The victory was sweet for Rhodes and Owens as they triumphed in their tag team match against the former WWE Tag Team Champions. However, their celebration was short-lived. The Bloodline ambushed them, delivering a merciless beatdown. In a surprising twist, Owens managed to momentarily blindside Tonga Loa with an eye rake. Yet, the Bloodline’s dominance prevailed, leaving Rhodes and Owens reeling from the assault.
Social Media Commotion: Tonga Loa’s Eye Patch Becomes Popular Online
At the SmackDown tapings the next week, the Bloodline kept chasing after Cody Rhodes without giving up. A video shared on social media featured Tonga Loa wearing an eye patch, receiving praise from WWE enthusiasts.
