Roman Reigns Reportedly Replaced By New Bloodline Member As Cody Rhodes’ Next Opponent

Cody Rhodes and The Bloodline had a feud that went back and forth for over a year. It all ended when Cody Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns in a one-on-one match for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 40. It seemed at the time that the feud between the two parties was over but it isn’t the case.

A new report from Wrestling Observer has emerged, which reveals that Cody Rhodes will have another big feud with The Bloodline as Solo Sikoa will be the next challenger for the Undisputed WWE Championship after Clash at the Castle. The report states, “The next ‘big destination’ match right now for Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes appears to be Solo Sikoa”.

Solo Sikoa, currently the Head of the Table at the Bloodline, has been unstoppable and ruthless. If he takes on Cody Rhodes for the Universal Championship title, it will mean he indirectly replaces Roman Reigns in a rematch for the Championship. Reigns would have been anticipating a rematch upon his return.

The match between Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes will probably be held at Money in The Bank PLE before Summerslam. But wait, isn’t Roman Reigns rumored to return at SummerSlam?

Can Cody Rhodes V/S Solo Sikoa be a match to set up the return of Roman Reigns?

Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa will have a feud at Money in the Bank and it is anticipated that Roman Reigns will also return from his hiatus near this time before Summerslam. Reigns has not been seen in WWE since WrestleMania 40 where he lost his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes.

The WWE appears to be preparing for the return of the Tribal Chief. His comeback is much anticipated by the fans, as the current Bloodline is not well received. Since Solo Sikoa took over as Head of the Table, Bloodline has been too harsh on others and fans have hated this part.

It will be fascinating to watch how Roman Reigns reacts to the fact that Solo Sikoa has included Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa in the Bloodline and excluded Jimmy Uso while Reigns was away. And all this happened in the presence of ‘The Wise Man’ Paul Heyman. Plenty is in store for the WWE Universe once the Tribal Chief returns.

What do you think about WWE’s move to replace Roman Reigns with Solo Sikoa for a match with Cody Rhodes? Let us know in the comments.
