The Bloodline Captures Tag Team Titles During 8/2 WWE SmackDown

WWE’s go-home episode of SmackDown on August 2 introduced several unexpected developments ahead of SummerSlam, culminating in a significant title change in Cleveland.

Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa arrived in Cleveland as the SmackDown tag team champions, but the Bloodline was determined to claim the gold. The two teams clashed in a title match against Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga. Despite Gargano receiving a huge ovation from his hometown crowd, he and Ciampa were unable to secure the victory.

The Bloodline now holds the WWE Tag Team Championships. Following the title win, Solo Sikoa took the titles and placed them on his shoulders, posing for the cameras. This victory gives the Bloodline a considerable momentum boost as they approach SummerSlam.

The episode of SmackDown began with Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes agreeing to make their Undisputed World Title match a Bloodline Rules contest. With Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu now holding titles, the dynamics of the match could shift dramatically. The Bloodline appears to be riding high on a wave of confidence.

This title victory marks Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga’s first championship reign in WWE. Both wrestlers spent much of their careers outside WWE but joined the company as part of the Bloodline storyline. Their celebration in Cleveland hints at more to come.
