WWE star Shinsuke Nakamura has sent a message to Tama Tonga following his post-match attack on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
With Nakamura attempting to lure Tama Tonga away from the MFTs over the past few months, Tama chose his side on the May 22 SmackDown episode.
Following Shinsuke Nakamura’s loss to Talla Tonga, Tama Tonga stopped Solo Sikoa from attacking Nakamura, only to drop the Japanese star himself with his Cut Throat.
Nakamura has now sent a message to Tama Tonga in a new video shared on Twitter by WWE Japan.
Calling Tama a coward, Shinsuke said:
“Tama! I’m disappointed in you. So that’s who you really are, huh? I see who you are now. I do things my way. You’re gonna be a coward? I’ll do it my own way.”

With Shinsuke Nakamura previously attempting to make Tama Tonga see reason, his new comments suggest that he will now attempt to take down the MFTs himself, Tama included.
The MFTs now just consist of Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga, following the departures of Tonga Loa and JC Mateo in early-May.
With such a big change, it would make sense for Tama Tonga to ultimately leave the trio and disband the faction, making way for something new.
If Shinsuke Nakamura and Tama Tonga do eventually join forces, we could see this duo bring more stars in to create a new stable to dominate SmackDown.
