The WWE injury issues continue as they show Tama Tonga will be on the sidelines for some time. Bodyslam.net and PWN Cody confirmed that Tonga is dealing with injuries that could require surgery.
The specific nature and timeline for his return remain private. Lanite’s storyline attack on SmackDown last Friday is believed to be an explanation for Tonga’s absence as Tonga is dealing with this private injury.
The news follows a previous injury to Tongaroa, a stable skewer during a men’s wargame match in the Survivor Series in November 2024. The injury occurred when CM Punk hits Loa’s arm with the toolbox.
LOA had surgery and was initially expected to go out for several months. The situation in December 2024 was uncertain, but reports show that he is recovering well and could return to the ring in the summer of 2025.
I hope both stars recover quickly.
