Add as a preferred source on Google Solo Sikoa appears to have fully lost control of the MFT on the episode of WWE SmackDown set to air on June 26, which was taped Tuesday, June 23, at The O2 Arena in London.
During the taping, Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga told Solo they will no longer stand by his side, seemingly bringing the stable to an end, at least for now.
The split had been teased since last Friday’s SmackDown. At the time, Tama made it clear that Solo’s family issues were getting in the way of the group’s interests. Talla also stressed that the MFT’s priority was the WWE Tag Team Championship, not another war with Roman Reigns and The Usos.
Later on the same show, Damian Priest and R-Truth defended the tag team titles against Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga. Solo appeared during the match, ended up distracting his own partners, and opened the door for Truth to roll up Tama.
The situation got worse on this week’s RAW, also held in London, when Solo interfered in the match between LA Knight and Jimmy Uso, contributing to Jimmy’s loss. In other words, instead of trying to get his own stable back on track, Solo once again inserted himself into The Bloodline’s conflicts.
It is worth remembering that this week’s SmackDown was taped in advance because of WWE’s European schedule.
WWE itself announced that the London show would take place on June 23, one day after RAW in the same arena, while the USA Network and Netflix broadcast will air as usual on Friday.
