Cody Rhodes had an incredible face-off with Roman Reigns this week on SmackDown. It added more hype to their match against The Bloodline at Bad Blood. However, it seems like not everyone is happy about this alliance, including a former Universal Champion.
The individual is Kevin Owens, who has been at loggerheads with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline for years. Following his main event match, the Solo Sikoa-led faction ambushed him. The American Nightmare rushed to the ring to save his friend. Regardless, the Prizefighter was spotted contemplating turning his back on the Undisputed WWE Champion.
That moment left fans scratching their heads as once again the former United States Champion teased his heel turn. It was speculated that the Canadian star might snap into his villainous side at Bash in Berlin. Although he managed to keep his cool even after his loss, he’ll definitely be having second thoughts about his friendship with Rhodes following him joining sides with The Tribal Chief.
The Undisputed Champion has a lot of problems to deal with currently. He has got the word from the Needle Mover that he’ll be watching his back at Bad Blood. However, Reigns has also made it clear that after The Bloodline business is settled, he is coming for the coveted title.
Brandi Rhodes reacted to the segment involving Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns on SmackDown
Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns graced the field of Georgia Tech to clear the air. The two were involved in a deeply personal rivalry in the past that culminated at WrestleMania. However, their stories being intertwined yet again has brought the two enemies closer. After the segment, Brandi Rhodes opined on what she had witnessed on SmackDown.
The former WWE ring announcer posted a GIF of the character Jim Halpert from The Office saying, “What is going on?” Brandi was clearly confused by what had unfolded between her husband and Reigns. Last week, she hinted at being against the alliance.
Only time will tell how this storyline progressed from here on. There are some rumors that suggest that the Undisputed Champion might join the original Bloodline to take down Solo Sikoa’s faction at Survivor Series as well.
