There has been no confirmation as of now. However, it seems this is the possible direction for this rematch. Besides, there is a huge chance of Roman Reigns returning at SmackDown Season Premier, which might make this lackluster match captivating for the fans. Therefore, he might once again cost Solo Sikoa and help Cody Rhodes win the match against the crooked Bloodline.

Bad Blood will be taking place in Atlanta. It is the hometown of the Undisputed Champion. Therefore, Rhodes is likely to have a match. He might have another star step up as his challenger down the line. However, for Sikoa, a singles match with the Tribal Chief is seemingly the plan for him.

Speaking with Inside The Ropes, the Undisputed Champion thanked the team he had who helped him for WrestleMania XL. Although he didn’t reveal the actual plan for the show, he openly claimed that it would have made fans pretty much angry. Rhodes called it The Rock’s plan for the show and said it wouldn’t have worked.

If people knew the real plan for me, they’d be even more angry. I can’t share the real plan for you, The Rock plan, whatever it may be. That was going to be on my mind in terms of how do we make that work? How do we accomplish that? I had a really good team of people around me.
