This week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown is set to air live from the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, NC and it’s a highly anticipated show. Randy Orton is expected to address his heel turn from last week, The Bella Twins will be challenging Nia Jax & Lash Legend for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles, and The MFTs will be defending the WWE tag Team Titles against R-Truth and Damian Priest. Tama Tonga is one half of the current WWE Tag Team Champions, and ahead of SmackDown it’s being reported that Tama has been fined.
Andrew Zarian is reporting the word going at SmackDown is that Tama Tonga was fined by WWE for posting a video of rehearsals last week. It’s being said that the fine was significant, and WWE has an unwritten rule about not recording during rehearsal.
