A WWE debut is supposed to create a major moment, which happened at Backlash, but new footage shows Tanga Loa botch it.

Backlash headed to France and let us say, it was a smashing success. There were no dream matches, but everything from start to finish was superb wrestling. Also, the crowd was so intense, they made the building shake. Someone, should probably check its structure to make sure everything is okay. The match opened with new The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga) taking on Kevin Owens and Randy Orton.
Rather quickly, the match become no disqualification and nobody was complaining. That might be the best tag team match to ever open a WWE pay per view, or premium live event. They fought all around the arena before heading to the ringside area. Owens seemingly had the match won before Tanga Loa debuted. He stopped the referee’s three count before attacking Owens and Orton. Some shots to the head via the steps was enough for The Bloodline to leave victorious.
Video Of Botch
On live TV, the spot seemed fine. Although, new footage is popping up on social media. Basically, Loa was late getting to the referee. Therefore, the ref had to really drag the count out and even appears he might have initially not hit the mat three times. Thankfully, what almost all WWE fans witnessed looked great.
Loa and Tonga have worked together before as part of the Bullet Club in NJPW. Together, the brothers were known as the Guerrillas of Destiny (G.O.D.). With Roman Reigns off TV, Solo is running The Bloodline and based-off Paul Heyman’s expressions, he does not feel safe around the current form of the stable. Although, Reigns turning face and going against Solo seems like the next logical step. So, did the botch from Tanga Loa at Backlash blow his WWE debut or was the spot saved?
