On the upcoming edition of WWE SmackDown, wrestling superstar Bobby Lashley will face the newest member of The Bloodline. Following the conclusion of the first round of the King of the Ring tournament on WWE RAW, WWE SmackDown will commence the second round this week.
WWE SmackDown also features a stacked match card. This week on the King of the Ring Tournament, AJ Styles will face Randy Orton, Baron Corbin will take on Carmelo Hayes, and LA Knight will go against Santos Escobar. Additionally, the fourth match will feature Bobby Lashley and the newest addition to The Bloodline, Tama Tonga.
Last weekend, Tama Tonga won his debut WWE match. At WWE Backlash, Tama Tonga and Solo Sikoa defeated Kevin Owens and Randy Orton in a street fight. The match also saw another member, Tonga Loa, joining The Bloodline recently.
On the other hand, in his last match, Bobby Lashley competed in a number one contender’s triple threat match for Cody Rhodes‘ WWE Undisputed Championship but lost.
Bobby Lashley’s message to The Bloodline ahead of WWE SmackDown
Bobby Lashley has conveyed a message to The Bloodline ahead of his upcoming match with Tama Tonga. During a recent episode of WWE’s The Bump, he discussed the King of the Ring tournament and his opponent Tama Tonga. Lashley expressed confidence, stating that Tonga should be nervous as he has not faced anyone with him before. He feels well-prepared and believes he is overdue for a significant win.
It will be intriguing to observe if The Bloodline becomes involved in the match, possibly leading to a faction-versus-faction showdown. The Bloodline, comprising Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa, could potentially square off against The Pride, consisting of Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits. This matchup might occur at the premium live event at the WWE’s King & Queen of the Ring tournament in Saudi Arabia.
