The Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, was attacked by Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline following his successful title defense against AJ Styles at Clash at the Castle: Scotland. The Bloodline, who were not in action at the event, appeared in Scotland for this week’s SmackDown. Sikoa, who has been leading the faction in Roman Reigns’ absence, kicked out Jimmy Uso and added Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa to the group.
Cody Rhodes has a long-standing history with The Bloodline, having been involved in a lengthy feud with them. He defeated Roman Reigns, ending his historic title reign of 1,316 days, and was the first man to defeat Sikoa cleanly in a singles match on the main roster. However, the dynamics have changed since their last encounter, with Sikoa now leading the Bloodline in Reigns’ absence.
Rikishi, Sikoa’s father, reacted to the shocking turn of events by sharing the entire clip on his Instagram story. Rhodes and The Bloodline have a history in WWE, and it has been reported that Sikoa could be next in line to face Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Champion. The seeds for this match were planted at Clash at the Castle: Scotland, and the build-up is expected to continue on the upcoming edition of Friday Night SmackDown.

At Clash at the Castle, Rhodes successfully defended his title against Styles in an “I Quit” Match, but his celebration was short-lived as Sikoa and The Bloodline launched a sneak attack on the champion. Randy Orton and Kevin Owens came out to make the save for The American Nightmare, as the trio managed to fight back against The Bloodline. Rikishi’s reaction to the shocking turn of events shows the potential for a significant feud between Rhodes and The Bloodline, specifically Sikoa.
The Bloodline was not in action at Clash at the Castle, but they were present in Scotland for this week’s SmackDown. Sikoa has been leading the faction in Reigns’ absence, and his first deed as the interim leader was to kick out Jimmy Uso and add Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa to the group. Rhodes has a long history with Sikoa and The Bloodline, and their recent confrontation at Clash at the Castle indicates that a new feud may have begun for the Undisputed WWE Champion.
The WWE Universe was left stunned when Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline attacked Cody Rhodes after his victory at Clash at the Castle. Rikishi, Sikoa’s father, quickly reacted to the shocking turn of events by sharing the entire clip on his Instagram story. With Sikoa potentially being the next in line to face Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Champion, the seeds for this match were planted at Clash at the Castle, and the build-up is expected to continue on the upcoming edition of Friday Night SmackDown.
