The Bloodline may be the hottest act in WWE but that doesn't mean every member of the group is picking up wins week in and out. Tama Tonga, for instance, has been on the losing side for the past couple of weeks.

During a recent episode of BrowDown on Backstage Pass, Vince Russo slammed WWE's booking of Tama Tonga, explaining how the former Bullet Club star had been reduced to enhancement talent:
"They've made Tama Tonga a jobber. He's the jobber of the group. And after he does the job, Fatu comes in and gets the heat. It's every single show. We know now that Solo's going to come back. Solo's going to be the baby face and Fatu is going to be the heel." [From 04:02 onwards]

Russo may have a point. Tama Tonga lost to LA Knight in singles action last week on WWE SmackDown. This week, he took the fall in The Blooline's tag team match against Damian Priest and The Megastar on the blue brand.

Solo Sikoa's absence seems to have put the entire spotlight on Jacob Fatu, who was announced as a participant in the Men's Royal Rumble match this week on SmackDown. It remains to be seen if Tama Tonga shows up during the match as well.

About the author
Manik Aftab
Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.
Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.
He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.
While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.
When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
