A major announcement came for the coming episode of WWE Smackdown on the latest episode of Monday Raw which will also be the final blue brand episode on FOX, this Friday. The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes will respond to Solo Sikoa in a segment to address the challenge already laid out for a title match by the Bloodline leader.
On last week’s WWE Smackdown, a video featuring Sikoa was aired which stated that no matter who wins the WWE Championship match at Bash in Berlin, he would be coming after the Undisputed WWE Championship.
“Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens — I don’t give a damn which one of you wins,” Sikoa said in a promo on WWE Smackdown. “Because whoever is the champion after tomorrow, the Tribal Chief is coming for you.”

The last time Rhodes and Sikoa were seen in a match was at SummerSlam when Rhodes secured the victory after Roman Reigns made his comeback to WWE, and took out Sikoa with a Superman punch. A couple of weeks later, Sikoa and his new version of The Bloodline put down Reigns after Jacob Fatu returned from a brief hiatus. The faction took out Reigns by powerbombing him through the announce table.
Apart from the potential future title match setup, Giovanni Vinci will make his return to WWE SmackDown, this Friday after staying away from action since an injury angle was filmed featuring Ludwig Kaiser and Imperium this April. Vinci then moved to the blue brand in the 2024 WWE Draft.
