A member of The Bloodline has posted about being ruled out of proceedings for facing Roman Reigns at WWE Crown Jewel. The news was broken by Michael Cole on SmackDown this week.
At WWE Crown Jewel, the team of Roman Reigns, Jey, and Jimmy Uso, are set to face the Bloodline. In a match that has been coming for some time, the return of Jey Uso and his joining Reigns' side again with his brother Jimmy has added new dimensions. With the Original Bloodline facing the new Bloodline, it's guaranteed to be a huge six-man tag team match. However, with only six stars in the tag team match, one Bloodline member had to be excluded from the contest, and it was Tonga Loa.
Michael Cole addressed the issue and revealed that Tonga Loa would not be taking part in the match against Reigns. Instead, he would be "lurking" nearby, while Tama Tonga, Jacob Fatu, and Solo Sikoa compete.
Roman Reigns will still be outnumbered thanks to Tonga Loa, and on top of that, Sami Zayn was seen speaking to Solo Sikoa. It remains to be seen if the star plays any role in the Bloodline at the event, given the star's history with the faction.
