Julia Hansen/Iowa City Press-Citizen / USA TODAY NETWORK

Roman Reigns is going to continue his rivalry against Solo Sikoa and his version of Bloodline in Bad Blood. The last time they encountered each other was in the SmackDown arena, where Sikoa was brutally dominated. Before Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes showed up against Bloodline in Bad Blood, WWE decided to have a conversation between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns before the marquee event.

WWE showed a video of Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns meeting on the football field at Georgia Tech. Roman Reigns used to play for the Yellow Jackets team there. Georgia Tech is in Atlanta and that is where the Premier event will take place.

Joint Forces For Bad Blood

Everyone is waiting for October 5 because Rhodes and Roman Reigns, who used to be fierce rivals, have teamed up against shared enemies in the Bloodline. In Atlanta, Rhodes talked about important things that would affect their partnership in the future. Cody Rhodes asked different questions from “The Big Dog” as to whether he was going to betray him or not.

He also took a promise from Roman Reigns that for his loyalty he’d support him. They both agreed on everything except for one thing. The Undisputed WWE title Roman Reigns made it clear that after they defeat Solo Sikoa he will fight for the Undisputed Title.

Return Of Roman Reigns

Rhodes and Reigns have a brief rivalry as they had serious brawls before and at that time Reigns was the champion but Rhodes somehow managed to dominate him and take the universal belt. Rhodes has been the champion since WrestleMania XL ending the long era of Roman Reigns ruling over the ring dominating every single rival and becoming the Universal Champion.

Roman Reigns attended the funeral of his father and solved his problems clearing his way to WWE. Reigns returned after being away for over four months after losing the belt. He surprised everyone and helped WWE earn millions of views and earned more than a million dollars just with his return. He interfered in Rhodes’ match against Solo Sikoa, helping Rhodes keep his title.

Later, on the September 13 episode of SmackDown, Rhodes defended his title against Sikoa in a steel cage match but was attacked by Jacob Fatu and others. Roman Reigns again had to interfere to save the title for Rhodes.

Final In Bad Blood

Sikoa after being dominated by the duo asked WWE to immediately set up a tag team match between him and the duo at Bad Blood. The interesting thing is that only Sikoa and Jacob Fatu are going to be their opponents, so there will be a higher chance of other members interrupting. Because of that, we might also see some unexpected faces. Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes have signed the contract but we will have to wait for the upcoming matches whether they will support each other or not.
