Cody Rhodes will acknowledge Solo Sikoa as the true Tribal Chief, should The Bloodline leader dethrone Rhodes as WWE Champion this week.
On this Friday’s episode of WWE SmackDown, which will serve as the show’s premiere on the USA Network, Rhodes will defend his title against Sikoa in a Steel Cage match.
Speaking on the “SmackDown Lowdown,” Rhodes raised the stakes for his impending title match with Solo Sikoa. He said,
“I’d be a fool to say I was not concerned [about what Solo Sikoa is capable of inside a steel cage.] I’d be a fool to say I didn’t have a little trepidation, a little fear about it, but I have been in many a steel cage and Solo Sikoa has never been in one.
“We said it out there, right the Ula Fala, The Bloodline revolves around that thing. Well, the WWE revolves around this, the Undisputed WWE Championship. If Solo Sikoa is Tribal Chief enough to defeat me, however he does it, I’ll stand in that ring in front of God, in front of the whole world, and I’ll acknowledge him.”
Rhodes retained his title against Sikoa at WWE SummerSlam 2024 thanks to the timely interference of Roman Reigns, in his first appearance since WrestleMania 40.
Reigns hasn’t been seen since being taken out by Sikoa’s Bloodline on a recent episode of WWE SmackDown.
