WWE Filmed Footage Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes Celebrating Atlanta Roots Ahead of Bad Blood 2024

Roman Reigns is undeniably one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling history, but before stepping into the ring, he had a football career. WWE is now leveraging that connection to Georgia, recently filming footage featuring Reigns and Cody Rhodes in anticipation of their upcoming Bad Blood match.

During the September 13 episode of WWE SmackDown, Reigns made a dramatic return to confront The Bloodline after Cody Rhodes triumphed in a cage match against Solo Sikoa. Reigns quickly joined forces with the Undisputed WWE Champion, and together, they fended off The Bloodline, albeit for just a brief moment.

Later in the show, Nick Aldis announced that Cody and Roman would team up to face The Bloodline at the upcoming WWE Premium Live Event, Bad Blood. Initially, Cody was hesitant, declaring he was done with The Bloodline. However, an attempted sneak attack by Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga during the main event forced Cody’s hand, leading him to sign the contract and officially team with Reigns.
