Cody Rhodes emerged victorious over Solo Sikoa from The Bloodline in a match that took place after the conclusion of SmackDown. This outcome corrected a major mistake made during last week’s episode of SmackDown at WrestleMania Kickoff. Cody Rhodes had rightfully earned his place in the main event and officially challenged his opponent. Following the intense press conference, fans eagerly awaited the next move of The American Nightmare. Consequently, he faced off against a member of The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa, in a dark match after the conclusion of tonight’s SmackDown episode.
Cody Rhodes engaged in a battle against The Enforcer, who had seemingly taken a backseat amidst the chaos within his family. Rhodes secured the victory by executing three consecutive Cross Rhodes maneuvers on Solo. Despite making an appearance after the show, it was expected that the 38-year-old would address the live audience during the episode. However, the Head of Creative, [Name], made it clear that he would not allow Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns to exert their influence on WWE.
The duo from The Bloodline is scheduled to appear on next week’s edition of SmackDown, indicating that Cody Rhodes will likely make an appearance as well. Interestingly, Sean Ross Sapp from [Publication] revealed that Rhodes was originally slated to face [Name] instead of Sikoa. With Cody being advertised for Elimination Chamber, it is possible that he may face either one of The Bloodline members at the event.
Cody Rhodes emerged victorious over Solo Sikoa in the post-SmackDown dark match, replacing the originally planned match against Jimmy Uso.
It remains to be seen whether any unexpected twists will impact the singles match between Rhodes and Reigns on the Road to WrestleMania. Undoubtedly, The Rock will intervene and use his corporate influence to ensure that he gets the match he desires.
The WrestleMania Kickoff Show has generated significant excitement among fans for the upcoming marquee event. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson surprised fans by turning heel for the first time since 2003, aligning himself with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. The Great One slapped Cody Rhodes after the latter disrespected his family, resulting in chaos as others, including [Name], also became involved.
The cousins flexed their power, targeting Cody and Seth and even criticizing WWE CCO Triple H. This may have hinted at another match for the Night 1 main event of WrestleMania, where The Bloodline members could face their former rivals.
After several changes to WWE’s original plans, it appears that instead of facing Roman Reigns, The Rock has formed an alliance with him. Therefore, it is not out of the question that a tag team match could take place following the intense confrontation that occurred on Thursday.
