7 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE SmackDown (31 May - Results & Review)

5. As Solid As They Come

Beating The Street Profits was a sweet introductory match for Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins showed a ton of aggression throughout, which helped, but Bobby Lashley's pals were only out there to put The Bloodline's mercenary recruits over and sell how threatening they are to everyone else.

It worked.

Ford and Dawkins might deserve a cheeky little pay bonus, 'cause they went above and beyond to make Tama and Loa look like devils. The Profits didn't just take a kicking and turn things into some elongated squash (they got their licks in), but the pair knew when to lay out and let Bloodline brutes get some heat on them.

This was a win both Tongas needed. Now, they can go back to Solo Sikoa with a wicked smile, and ask Paul Heyman if he still thinks they're too reckless to work out as fully-fledged faction members. TV matches that deliver in-ring and carry some storyline purpose are the best.
