The Bloodline has grown another member stronger after a former NJPW champion made a shocking return to WWE!

In the opening match of WWE Backlash France, Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga of The Bloodline faced off against Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. Just minutes in, however, the bout broke down into a brawl outside the ring, causing various officials to appear to break it up.

SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis made his way onto the stage and, in an attempt to quell the chaos, announced that the match would now be contended under No Disqualification rules.

The new stipulation upped the brutality of the match significantly with tables, chairs, kendo sticks and more. In the end, it looked like Owens and Orton had overcome The Bloodline after Owens hit a Fisherman's Driver on Tonga through several chairs.

As Owens went for a pin and looked set to get the win, however, a hooded figure pulled the referee out of the ring. The individual quickly revealed themself to be Tanga Loa, Tama Tonga's real-life brother and long-time tag team partner in The Guerillas of Destiny.

Tonga quickly took down Orton and Owens with a set of steel steps before Sikoa took advantage, hitting Owens with a uranage followed by a Samoan Spike to pick up the win. Afterward, the trio stood tall over their fallen opponents, making it clear Loa had joined the fold of The Bloodline.

Like his brother Loa was most recently part of New Japan Pro-Wrestling and last competed for the promotion on March 31st where he unsuccessfully challenged Great O'Khan for the King of Pro-Wrestling Championship in a two-out-of-three falls match.

Unlike his brother, however, Loa was previously a part of WWE with this appearance marking his return to the company after almost a decade away. Loa, better known for his main roster run as Camacho, last competed for WWE at the original NXT TakeOver where he lost to Adam Rose.

Kevin Owens, who was in the match, recently confirmed when his WWE contract is set to expire.

Although Randy Orton lost the match, he has given his thoughts on the hot WWE Backlash crowd.
