3 things that could happen at Tonga Loa’s anointing on WWE SmackDown

On tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown, Tonga Loa is set for his anointment ceremony into the Bloodline, officiated by the current leader, Solo Sikoa. This segment has already rendered excitement among the WWE Universe, who are eagerly awaiting the shenanigans.

The excitement is heightened due to the rarity of such ceremonies in the Stamford-based promotion proceeding as planned.

In this article, we will discuss potential events that could unfold during the anointment ceremony of Tonga Loa on tonight's edition of the blue brand.

#3. Paul Heyman might prevent Tonga Loa's anointment

Despite the absence of Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman is still working with the Bloodline and trying to manage things with Solo Sikoa. There have already been many instances where the Wiseman has expressed his concern about the Tribal Heir's recruitment into the faction. This is especially due to the apparent criminal background of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.

So it's possible that during this anointment ceremony, the Special Counsel might interrupt Sikoa and make one last attempt to prevent Tonga from being officially recruited into the group.

However, it's likely that despite this attempt, Solo will initiate the Tongan star as an official member of the Bloodline. This will also plant more seeds for the impending babyface turn of Heyman, who will later accompany the heroic Roman Reigns upon his return.

#2. Kevin Owens could crash this anointment ceremony

Besides Paul Heyman, Kevin Owens could also be a key figure who might crash Solo Sikoa's ceremony on the upcoming SmackDown. The Prizefighter has already dismissed Solo's version of the Bloodline, referring to it as merely the Tribal Heir and two guys.

Given his stance, the former Universal Champion might interfere in this segment. Such an interruption could lead to a physical altercation between the Bloodline and Owens. This could also lead to the Street Profits making their arrival on the scene to save the Prizefighter. This angle could set up a match involving the Bloodline for Clash at the Castle 2024.

#1. The Bloodline could send a message to Cody Rhodes

The anointment ceremony signifies that Tonga Loa will be declared an official member of the Bloodline. After the completion of this ceremony, it's possible that the faction could send a message to Cody Rhodes.

This assumption stems from last week's backstage segment of the Bloodline, where Solo Sikoa revealed that he has been checking the American Nightmare without his knowledge. Therefore, it is conceivable that the Tribal Heir could use this opportunity to make a statement against Rhodes.
