Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this whole Tonga Loa eye situation, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a wild ride. I started noticing some buzz online about Loa and this eye injury, especially after that crazy brawl on SmackDown. I was like, “What’s going on here?”
So, first thing I did was jump on the search engine and start looking around. I saw a few things mentioning that Tonga Loa had been sporting an eyepatch recently. Eyepatch? That’s serious! I had to know more. I found some stuff saying that during that all-out brawl with Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens, Owens went straight for Loa’s eye. Ouch! That’s gotta hurt. It looked pretty brutal, and they said Loa was selling the injury for the rest of the show. That’s a dedicated performer right there, I thought.
Then I started looking for more details. I figured, if he’s wearing an eyepatch even at house shows, it’s gotta be more than just a storyline. I dug a bit deeper, and I came across some footage showing Loa with the eyepatch during the July 26th SmackDown tapings. It was wild, that really got me thinking that this wasn’t just for show.
Here’s what I pieced together:
- During the brawl on SmackDown, Kevin Owens attacked Tonga Loa and went after his eye.
- Loa was seen selling the eye injury throughout the rest of the segment.
- He’s been spotted wearing an eyepatch at house shows and even during tapings.
It’s wild how things can go down in the wrestling world. I mean, you think it’s all scripted and planned, but then something like this happens, and you realize these guys are really putting their bodies on the line. I did some more reading and found out this wasn’t even Loa’s main issue at the moment – he’s currently out because he tore his biceps and will need to recover for seven to eight months! I also found out that Tonga Loa’s real name is Tevita Tu’amoeloa Fetaiakimoeata Fifita and that he is part of a group called The Bloodline. It turns out that another member of The Bloodline is named Tama Tonga, whose real name is Alipate Aloisio Leone, and they are both Tongan-American professional wrestlers. You learn something new every day! I’ll keep an eye out for more updates on Tonga Loa’s condition, but it seems like this eye injury, and especially his torn bicep, is a real deal, not just part of the show. I hope that he can rest and heal up both his eye and bicep without issue.
