Uncle Howdy Defeats Tama Tonga, Gets Lantern Back On WWE Smackdown

The Wyatt Sicks have their lantern back after Uncle Howdy defeated Tama Tonga on Friday night’s episode of WWE Smackdown. Friday night’s show saw Howdy battle the MFT member after Tonga had questioned why they were fighting so hard for the lantern. Sikoa told Tonga to go and fight for the lantern, warning him not to mess it up.

Howdy and Tonga battled for a little over seven minutes, with Howdy getting the win after Sikoa tried to get a cheap shot but the referee noticed it. Tonga yelled at Sikoa, and Howdy took advantage of the distraction to hit Sister Abigail to win.

After the match, Sikoa and Tonga argued before Tonga grabbed the lantern and put it down for Howdy. You can see a clip from the post-match segment below.

The MFTs stole the lantern, which is a symbol for the Wyatt Sicks, on the January 9th episode of WWE Smackdown. The two groups have been feuding over it since.

"You don't need this. It's messing with your mind."
