News regarding Tama Tonga’s status with WWE following angle with LA Knight from Smackdown
As seen during the April 18th 2025 episode of WWE SmackDown, LA Knight attacked Tama Tonga by slamming a car door into his hand. Tama did not appear on the April 25th show and it appears that the angle was done to write him off television for the time being.
During Sportskeeda.com’s WrestleVotes Radio, the following was said in regards to Tama’s status…
“So in another little injury bit, we are told Tama Tonga has suffered an injury and will be out of action for an undisclosed amount of time. It will be interesting to see if this affects Tonga Loa’s return, as he was on pace for a mid-summer comeback. However, with his brother and tag partner now shelved, his timetable also remains to be seen.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
Bodyslam.net and PWN’s Cody Whoades confirmed that Tama is set to miss some time as his injury could require surgery.
On today’s episode of WrestleVotes Radio, we dive into Kiana James’ impending return, the future of Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga, and what WWE may have planned for the Pat McAfee brand.
