WWE Announces Tonga Loa Is Out Indefinitely Due To Torn Bicep Sustained At WarGames

The fallout from WWE Survivor Series: WarGames continues to take its toll on Solo Sikoa’s New Bloodline faction, with another key member now sidelined due to injury. Following the brutal WarGames main event this past Saturday, WWE confirmed on SmackDown that Tonga Loa has suffered a torn bicep and is out indefinitely.

During Friday’s SmackDown, WWE displayed both a scan of Loa’s torn bicep and footage of him wearing a sling. It was also revealed that the former WWE Tag Team Champion has already undergone surgery to begin the recovery process. While there’s no clear timeline for Loa’s return, torn biceps typically require several months of rehabilitation, leaving a significant hole in Solo Sikoa’s New Bloodline moving forward.

Loa is just the latest casualty from Survivor Series: WarGames. As reported earlier, Bronson Reed sustained a serious ankle injury, which WWE also addressed during the SmackDown broadcast, while Jimmy Uso is dealing with a broken toe. Despite speculation about Jacob Fatu suffering a scare during the chaotic match, he appears to have avoided any significant injury.

The WarGames match saw Solo Sikoa’s New Bloodline—featuring Sikoa, Tanga Loa, Tama Tonga, Jacob Fatu, and Bronson Reed—come up short against Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, and CM Punk. With three members of Sikoa’s group now banged up, the faction is already showing signs of strain as they attempt to establish dominance under Solo’s leadership.

Interestingly, Tonga Loa’s absence was felt immediately during SmackDown. The show opened with Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga attacking Apollo Crews backstage—without Loa in tow—suggesting the group is wasting no time in carrying out their agenda despite the mounting injuries.

For fans, this latest injury raises questions about how the New Bloodline will regroup and adapt in Loa’s absence. Will Solo Sikoa look to bring in reinforcements, or will the remaining members of the group step up to fill the void? One thing is certain: The battle between Roman Reigns’ Bloodline and Solo Sikoa’s New Bloodline is far from over, but injuries could force a shift in strategy for the faction.
