Next Man Up: Bloodline Member Injured, Replacement Wins Important Match

It can happen to anyone. Injuries are among the worst things to happen to wrestlers at any time, as you never know when you are going to see someone put on the shelf for any amount of time. Some injuries are more obvious than others, but what matters is that they keep a wrestler out of action. That is the case again with a current WWE Superstar, though a replacement was on hand.

This week on SmackDown, General Manager Nick Aldis announced that Tonga Loa suffered an eye in jury on last week’s show, meaning that he would not be allowed to compete in the show’s gauntlet match to crown new #1 contenders to the WWE Tag Team Titles. As a result, Jacob Fatu took Loa’s place and went on to win the match with partner Tama Tonga. There is no word on how long Loa will be out of action or what specifically happened to his eye.

Loa has done well in WWE. Check out his time in the company so far:

Opinion: This is something that happens every so often and hopefully Loa is back in the ring sooner than later. There is always the chance that this is little more than a scratch or something similar, which should be able to heal up with time. Loa made a big impact upon his debut a few months ago and has followed it up by doing things rather well. Once he gets healthy, he can do more of just that.

What do you think of Loa so far in WWE? What is next for the Bloodline? Let us know in the comments below.
