Honestly, I never thought he was. Mostly because Tai was never really involved in the Ozluminati stuff, which seemed to be the prerequisite for being a Wizard of Oz allusion, and then later because they told us we haven't been introduced to the Cowardly Lion yet. Tai was shown on screen and talked about in the past, and yeah we didn't get an official speaking introduction to him until after they gave that statement, but I took the scene with him waiting for Ruby to finish talking to Summer and turning to look at him as a character introduction. That scene was before they made the Cowardly Lion statement.
