“Need to Look Out”: Fans Warn Cody Rhodes as Roman Reigns Brings His Cousin Backstage at SmackDown

The Samoans in the wrestling world are famous for having an extended family. The introduction of new members to the industry is surprising to the fanbase every time. Even recently, Roman Reigns was spotted with another ‘cousin’ backstage during the last SmackDown show. As a result, fans were surprised to catch sight of another Anoa’i member.

Moreover, everyone started predicting Cody Rhodes‘ reaction to the same. This was because of the experience “The American Nightmare” has had when it comes to ‘The Bloodline’. Although one of their members has had a ‘face turn’, introducing a new one isn’t good news for the former AEW EVP.

Who is Roman Reigns’ newly introduced cousin?

The Bloodline opened SmackDown this Friday. Little did fans know that Reigns was hanging out with one of his other cousins backstage. In reality, the face seen in the picture is another ‘nephew’ of “The Tribal Chief” who appears to be about the same age as the rest of The Bloodline members.

Although WWE didn’t say anything about using the young man as a talent at the Stamford-based company, fans are speculating that he could possibly replace Jey Uso as a member, only to wreak havoc at a potential WrestleMania 40 match between Reigns and Rhodes.

So, while “The American Nightmare” could’ve used Jey’s absence as an advantage, the presence of a new cousin could threaten his chance of winning a potential rematch between him and the Universal Champion.

After a fan account posted the backstage picture on the social media platform ‘X’, fans gathered in the comments to warn the 38-year-old wrestler about how he needs to look out for the new trouble that The Bloodline is brewing for him.

Fans warn Cody Rhodes against Roman Reigns’ potential future tactic

As per many, the two wrestling stars who main-evented WrestleMania 39 could return to the same PLE in 2024. This would help Rhodes ‘complete the story’ that was left incomplete when he couldn’t beat Roman Reigns for his title. Since the main reason behind the same was ‘The Bloodline’s involvement, this new picture left fans urging to talk about how this may affect Rhodes’ storyline.

This one fan opened up by warning Cody Rhodes that he needs to keep all his senses open when he wrestles the “Head of the Table” at WM 40.

Here is a speculation that the challenger won’t get to ‘finish his story’ at the biggest PLE of the year.

An internet user made a hilarious joke about the situation by using a video.

There is a possibility that the WM 39 scene may repeat itself in Philadelphia in 2024.
