We are just hours away from the road of WrestleMania 40 to begin. The 2024 Royal Rumble has an interesting line-up and fans are quite eager to see stars clash at the Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. One of the main attractions of the night is a Fatal-4-Way match between Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, & LA Knight. However, before Knight faces the Tribal Chief, he has to lock horns with the Enforcer of the Bloodline, Solo Sikoa on the 01/27 episode of SmackDown. While Sikoa has proven himself as an unstoppable force against John Cena at the 2023 Crown Jewel, he might not be able to prevail against the Defiant One.

LA Knight’s win might be important for the story

In the last few episodes of SmackDown, fans saw why Roman Reigns is still the Undisputed Champion. On two occasions, fans witnessed him laying waste to Orton, Styles, and Knight. This has helped in striking fear in the hearts of his foes. Apart from that, fans have realized that Reigns can deal with the three all by himself and with not much help from his cousins, Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso.

In The Bloodline stable, Sikoa is considered the most formidable one and stars think twice before they lock horns with him, Even though he has been on a losing streak, he has laid waste to John Cena and he ended up having surgeries following the 2023 Crown Jewel. And this might act as the perfect stepping stone for Knight.

While the 41-year-old star has been in the pro wrestling business for a long time, he is still considered a rookie compared to Orton, Styles, & Reigns. If he ends up defeating Sikoa in the most brutal way possible on Friday night, it will help establish him as a force to reckon with even by Reigns.

However, this might not be the only reason why Knight might prevail over Sikoa this Friday.

Dreams being shattered

On the December 15, 2023 episode of SmackDown, fans saw Roman Reigns announcing his next heir for the Head of the Table. Reigns snubbed Jimmy Uso and declared Sikoa as his successor. While Reigns saw potential in him, Sikoa has been struggling to deliver on it. Fans have seen Sikoa having a losing streak which The Tribal Chief might have not expected from his successor.

Last week fans saw some tensions growing between Reigns and Sikoa. While Sikoa took the blame that night, he might not be doing it every time. Sikoa’s defeat this Friday might make Reigns lash out at him, thus starting a chain reaction that might lead to the fall of the Bloodline. Fans might get to witness Sikoa betraying Reigns at some point, thus setting up things for the rivalry between the two. And who knows, Sikoa might end up becoming the next Undisputed WWE Universal Champion after this? Who do you think will win? Solo Sikoa or LA Knight?
