'''The Tongans''', formerly known as '''Guerrillas of Destiny''' ('''G.O.D'''), is a Tongan-American [[professional wrestling]] [[tag team]] currently signed with [[WWE]], founded by and consisting of brothers{{refn|group=note|name=a|The two are biologically first cousins, although Tonga and his [[Hikuleo (wrestler)|biological brother]] were adopted by Loa's parents, making them adoptive brothers; they are commonly simply referred to as brothers.}} [[Tama Tonga]] and [[Tanga Loa|Tonga Loa]], who both perform on the [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown]] [[WWE brand extension|brand]] as part of the larger [[The Bloodline (professional wrestling)|Bloodline]] [[Stable (professional wrestling)|stable]].
The brothers first wrestled together in 2008 as '''Sons of Tonga''', a reference to their father [[Tonga Fifita]]. Although the team was originally short-lived, the two reformed as Guerrillas of Destiny in [[New Japan Pro-Wrestling]] (NJPW) from 2016 to 2024, where they became one of the promotion's prime tag teams, winning the [[IWGP Tag Team Championship]] a record [[List of IWGP Tag Team Champions|seven times]], the [[World Tag League (NJPW)#2020|2020 World Tag League]], and the [[NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship]] [[List of NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions|three times]] with various stablemates from [[Bullet Club]], of which the two were [[List of Bullet Club members|members]] until 2022. From 2022 to 2024, Guerillas of Destiny extended into a stable of its own to include their manager [[Jado (wrestler)|Jado]], a third brother, [[Hikuleo (wrestler)|Hikuleo]], and [[El Phantasmo]].
While working for NJPW, Tonga and Loa also appeared in [[Ring of Honor]] (ROH), where they won the [[ROH World Tag Team Championship]], and [[Impact Wrestling]]. They both separately left NJPW in early 2024 and reunited at [[Backlash France]] in May as The Tongans (in reference to their [[Tonga|Tongan]] origins), as part of The Bloodline, which Tonga had joined prior to Loa's arrival. Jado, Hikuleo and El Phantasmo originally continued the Guerillas of Destiny stable without either original brothers, leading The Tongans and Guerillas of Destiny to exist simultaneously for over a month until the latter disbanded at [[Dominion 6.9 in Osaka-jo Hall (2024)|Dominion 6.9 in Osaka-jo Hall]] on June 9, 2024, leaving The Tongans as the sole direct continuation of Guerillas of Destiny.
