Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns will team up to face Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at WWE Bad Blood. Reigns made a return during the premiere of “WWE SmackDown” on USA Network, aiding Rhodes after his victory over Sikoa in a cage match. Following the match, Rhodes was attacked by Sikoa, Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa.
Earlier in the evening, “SmackDown” General Manager Nick Aldis announced the match between Rhodes and Reigns against Sikoa and Fatu for the premium live event, provided both Rhodes and Reigns agreed. Rhodes initially expressed his reluctance, stating he was “done with the Bloodline” and had no intention of signing the contract. Reigns, wanting to handle the matter in the ring, interrupted Aldis and took the microphone. He emphasized his dominance, declaring himself the sole tribal chief.
“Let’s make one thing clear,” Reigns asserted. “Whether I have my family’s ulafala or not, I am the tribal chief. I’m not just the original tribal chief; I am the only tribal chief. This is my ring, my show, and my WWE.”
