The Bloodline is set to take on Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens at WWE Money in the Bank in Toronto.
And while right now, we don’t know who the actual three members of the current four-member Bloodline will be in this match, in the six-man tag, we do sort of expect a possible combination to include Solo Sikoa.
He took things to a new level, as we know, on last week’s SmackDown, as he finally put his hands on The Wiseman Paul Heyman. It was a brutal attack from the new version of The Bloodline with Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa putting The Shield powerbomb on Paul Heyman through the table.
And now the big question is, how will Roman Reigns and everyone else who has been tied to Paul Heyman within this Bloodline story over the years respond?
Though, we may not expect Reigns to return at Money in the Bank, there are still a lot of possible ways this could go.
There is one theory that continues to be bantered about that does make a lot of sense.
I’m not saying it’s going to make everyone happy, but it would make a lot of sense, and that theory has a lot to do with what happened a year ago at Money in the Bank.
If you remember, July 1, 2023, in London, England. It was The Bloodline Civil War, where you had Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa team up to take on Jimmy and Jey Uso in a battle of who will be the ones. That was the tagline. That was sort of what was at stake.
We know there was a somewhat stunning occurrence in the finish of that match, where it was Jey Uso who pinned Roman Reigns to set up their one-on-one match at SummerSlam.
Now though, you have a very somewhat similar dynamic in play here as it is a situation where with this six-man tag, if Solo Sikoa is involved, could that mean you’re going to get a scenario where Solo Sikoa pins Cody Rhodes?
The problem, as I said, is that we don’t know who exactly is going to be on that three-man team for The Bloodline. Who’s going to be the odd man out? You would think that if you’re doing this, you want to have Solo involved, but this could all be a moot point if Solo is not involved in this match, and it is Jacob Fatu and the Tongans against the other three.
I would think that you would want to really push the fact that Solo is not afraid to get his hands dirty and really wants to get his hands on Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens for what they’ve tried to do to The Bloodline.
We saw that huge brawl to start the SmackDown show in Madison Square Garden, which led to Cody, Orton, and Owens being led away by police and all that, which kept them away from what happened at the end of the show with Paul Heyman.
But you would think that Solo would be involved here because this is where Solo can pin one of these guys, specifically Cody, to set up that one-on-one match. That seems to be the biggest indicator of where they’re headed for the SummerSlam main event is Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa for the Undisputed title.
And that is why I would put two and two together and think that is where Roman Reigns returns to get his revenge on Solo, The New Bloodline, however they decide to do it.
But if you’re asking, does Solo really have to pin Cody for them to be able to have the main event? I think that if you tie in the past history, if we go back to last year’s Money in the Bank, it was how they set up the Jey vs. Roman match, and it would make it tying into that same sort of thread with Solo Sikoa doing the same thing here to pin Cody.
Now, there would be a backlash probably from many fans to Solo being the first person to pin Cody since he became champion.
But for the story, as I said, it would make sense.
