Tonga Loa made his debut during the Backlash Premium Live Event earlier this month. Afterwards, fans started wondering when he would make his debut in the ring. He was supposed to debut on SmackDown this week but his match ended up getting pulled.
In case you didn’t know, The Street Profits’ Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins were set to square off against The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa and Tonga Loa. This was set to be Tonga Loa’s in-ring debut, but they ended up botching the announcement big time.
During the May 24th episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Paul Heyman revealed that Tonga Loa couldn’t go through customs, which is why he was unable to make it to Saudi Arabia for the match. Therefore, the scheduled match ended up getting pulled.
As for The Street Profits, they teamed up with LA Knight and defeated Carmelo Hayes and A-Town Down Under. Regardless, we’ll have to wait and see when Tonga Loa will finally make his in-ring debut on WWE television.
