Amidst the tumultuous landscape of the WWE, the Bloodline stands as a formidable force, its ranks bolstered by the recent arrival of Solo Sikoa. This formidable faction, joined by the enigmatic Wyatt Sicks, has sent a shiver down the spines of WWE enthusiasts.
The Bloodline's dominance was further cemented with the thunderous debut of Jacob Fatu, the Werewolf, on the June 21st edition of SmackDown. Fatu's devastating assault left an indelible mark on the WWE Universe, particularly on Cody Rhodes, who bore the brunt of the Werewolf's fury.
Rhodes, ever the valiant warrior, revealed the extent of his injuries at a recent live event in Bloomington, Indiana. Speaking to the WWE faithful, Rhodes disclosed that Fatu's vicious attack had left him with two broken ribs. The scars of the encounter were evident, as Rhodes sported tape around his waist.
Rhodes' revelation underscores the gravity of Fatu's assault. The Werewolf's unbridled ferocity also left its mark on Kevin Owens, who endured a Samoan Drop on the unforgiving steel steps. Randy Orton, too, felt the wrath of the Bloodline, succumbing to a bone-jarring Spear through the barricade.
Rhodes' confirmation of his injuries casts doubt on his ability to compete in the near future. However, his determination to perform at the live event, despite the excruciating pain of two broken ribs, suggests that he may be willing to push himself to the limits at Money in the Bank.
Whispers abound that a tantalizing showdown between Rhodes and Sikoa is being meticulously crafted as the main event of SummerSlam 2024. Sikoa, having assumed the mantle of the Tribal Chief in Roman Reigns' absence, has vowed to exact retribution on Rhodes. With the Bloodline standing firmly behind him, Sikoa is poised to emerge as the ultimate challenger for Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Championship.
Dave Meltzer, the esteemed wrestling journalist from Wrestling Observer Radio, has hinted at the possibility of Sikoa headlining SummerSlam, squaring off against Rhodes for the coveted WWE title. The anticipation surrounding this potential clash is palpable, but the question remains whether Rhodes will be physically able to withstand the rigors of Money in the Bank before facing Sikoa at SummerSlam.
Intriguing rumors have surfaced online, suggesting that Rhodes may join forces with fellow adversaries Kevin Owens and Randy Orton to wage war against the Bloodline in a colossal six-man tag team match. As the WWE narrative unfolds, the future remains shrouded in uncertainty, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this captivating saga.
