Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa to Face Off Under New Conditions at SummerSlam

WWE only had one episode of SmackDown remaining before SummerSlam on August 2, and they prepared a significant show in Cleveland. Fans filled the venue, with many having tickets for the major event on August 3. Cody Rhodes vs Solo Sikoa was kicked up a notch as a Bloodline Rules match.

Cody Rhodes is set to defend his Undisputed World Title against Solo Sikoa at SummerSlam. The match could feature several developments, including the potential return of Roman Reigns, as WWE has a creative plan for his comeback. The episode kicked off with a face-to-face confrontation between Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Cody called out Solo, who entered the ring alone.

The crowd erupted in “We Want Roman” chants before Solo could address them, showing they didn’t want to acknowledge him. Cody referenced that both he and Solo are little brothers in their families. However, once the Bloodline drama is settled, the bell will still ring. Solo interrupted, saying, “Are you done? Because you’re wasting my time.”

Cody declared himself a true WWE champion, unlike the fake Tribal Chief Solo. Rhodes emphasized that he paid his dues and intends to avenge Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. He reminded Solo of his victory over Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. Solo responded by acknowledging Roman’s weakness but asserting, “I’m not weak, I’m the opposite of that, I’m dangerous.”

Solo proposed making their SummerSlam match a Bloodline rules match. As Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and Jacob Fatu approached the ring, Rhodes stood firm, calling Jacob Fatu a “dumb son of a bitch.” Cody accepted the challenge for the new stipulation.

The SummerSlam card promises intriguing developments, particularly with the Bloodline rules match introducing new possibilities for intense action. With the crowd chanting for Roman Reigns, fans anticipate his presence at the event.
