Add as a preferred source on Google MFT got a major shot in the arm on this week’s SmackDown. A vignette aired with Haku standing alongside Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga, and the Tongan legend slid right into the leadership spot the brothers have been missing since they walked out on Solo Sikoa.
Haku reminded both men whose name they carry and told them to make WWE fear them again, calling them the sons of Haku. The package was short, but the direction was clear: Tama and Talla aren’t Solo’s hired muscle anymore. They’re working under their own family name now, and Haku brings a level of respect nobody else in the group has.
The payoff came later in the night. Damian Priest and R-Truth put the WWE Tag Team Titles up against the War Raiders’ AAA World Tag Team Titles in a title-for-title match that fell apart when both sides put hands on the referee, ending in a double DQ. Everybody kept their belts and the brawl spilled to the floor.
That’s when Tama and Talla hit the ring and wiped out all four men. Talla chokeslammed Priest and dumped him on top of Ivar, and Haku climbed in as his sons held both sets of tag titles over their heads to close the segment.
The run-in also paid off a loss from June. Priest and Truth beat Tama and Talla after Solo cost them the match, and the brothers walked out on him the following week with no direction of their own. Haku just gave them one.
THIS IS CRAZY 🤯

The Stable Is Expected to Be Just as Dominant as The Bloodline
The Bloodline comparison is right there in the structure. A respected family elder calls the shots, Tama is the veteran, Talla is the near-unstoppable giant, and the group already has the WWE and AAA tag titles in its sights.
Haku doesn’t need to work a match to make this thing a threat. He can be the elder who hands out direction, demands results and keeps everyone on the same page. With Tama and Talla doing the work, WWE suddenly has a heel stable that can run SmackDown and fill the hole left by every version of The Bloodline.
