In what may go down as one of the most shocking backstage twists in recent WWE memory, it appears that Tama Tonga is on the verge of betraying Jacob Fatu — his supposed Bloodline brother — following their recent victory on SmackDown.
The duo, who had just pulled off a brutal tag team win against Pretty Deadly in a chaotic main event, looked like a united force. The chemistry, the brutality, the dominance — it all screamed Bloodline 2.0. But looks can be deceiving.
Just minutes after the bell rang and their hands were raised in victory, WWE cameras caught exclusive footage in the locker room area that told a completely different story. Jacob Fatu was seen celebrating the win, hyped up and proud of their performance. But Tama Tonga? He was quiet. Distant. And then he said it.
“Jacob, you’re good… maybe too good.”
Before Fatu could respond, Tama blindsided him with a steel chair, repeatedly striking him while screaming, “There’s only one alpha in this Bloodline — and it ain’t you!”
Security rushed in to separate the two, but not before Fatu was left bloodied, clutching his shoulder, as Tama stormed off with a twisted grin on his face.
Why the betrayal?
Sources close to the situation say tensions between Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu have been simmering ever since Solo Sikoa began restructuring The Bloodline. While Jacob has been praised by fans and legends alike as a “future face of the family,” Tama reportedly believes he’s being overshadowed — despite being one of the original enforcers Solo brought in to rebuild the legacy.
“Tama never liked playing second fiddle,” one insider revealed. “He came to WWE to make his mark, not to stand in someone else’s shadow — not even Jacob Fatu’s.”
The WWE Universe is buzzing, with fans taking to social media in droves. Some are praising the move as a masterclass in long-term storytelling, while others are furious, especially those who had begun to see Jacob and Tama as the next dominant tag force in the company.
WWE officials are said to be fast-tracking a Tama Tonga vs. Jacob Fatu match for an upcoming Premium Live Event — possibly at Clash at the Castle — where the two could finally settle their growing animosity in a high-stakes, No Holds Barred encounter.
Meanwhile, Solo Sikoa has remained silent on the matter, though many expect him to address the betrayal next week on SmackDown. Will he support Tama’s ruthless ambition or punish him for attacking family?
One thing is clear: the new era of The Bloodline may be even more dangerous, unpredictable, and chaotic than the last.
Stay tuned — because in the Bloodline, loyalty is earned, betrayal is inevitable, and there’s always another twis
t waiting in the shadows.
