The Bloodline disrupts Tag Title Match in WWE NXT Invasion.
Earlier today, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill hinted at a possible appearance on “WWE NXT.” While Belair and Cargill did not make it to the show, their male counterparts took the opportunity to make their presence known.
In the opening match of this week’s “NXT,” Axiom and Nathan Frazer defended their NXT Tag Team Championships against “WWE SmackDown” stars Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, known as the Street Profits. Despite a strong effort from the Street Profits, Ford’s pinfall attempt on Frazer was interrupted by the unexpected arrival of The Bloodline’s Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa, who hold the WWE Tag Team Championships under the Freebird rule.
Tama Tonga made the first move, pulling Ford out of the ring and sending him crashing into the steel stairs. As Dawkins rushed to defend his partner, Jacob Fatu charged at him. Tonga Loa then entered the ring, taking out Axiom with a clothesline and Tama suplexing Frazer. The Bloodline concluded their assault with a Swanton Bomb from Fatu onto Dawkins.
For Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu, this was their debut on the “NXT” brand, while Tonga Loa made his return. Previously known as Camacho, Loa competed in over thirty “NXT” matches between 2012 and 2014, with his last appearance being a tag team match against The Ascension at a June 2014 “NXT” live event.
