3 predictions for Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes' alliance for WWE Bad Blood

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are two of the biggest rivals in WWE, having a long-standing bitter history. However, the former nemeses will form an unlikely alliance at Bad Blood to battle a common enemy—The Bloodline. Reigns and Rhodes will join forces to take on Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in a tag team match at the upcoming spectacle.

However, their unexpected alliance has several underlying factors that might create tensions between the two. The American Nightmare might be doubtful of his tag team partner's true intentions, which might lead to internal conflicts. On the other hand, The Original Tribal Chief, who never looked eye-to-eye with Rhodes, might try to prove that he does not require the latter to handle The Bloodline.

Let's look at three predictions for Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes' alliance for WWE Bad Blood.

#3. Cody Rhodes may not align with Roman Reigns' plans

Cody Rhodes has spent the last two years of his WWE career fighting Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. Therefore, he might not be able to trust his former nemesis, as the fear of betrayal could be harbored within him. Despite forming an alliance within The OTC, The American Nightmare may not be able to align with the latter's plans.

While taking on The Bloodline, Rhodes might not let his guard down, as his eyes could be fixated on Reigns the entire time due to a premonition stemming from his past. The reigning Undisputed WWE Champion might be reluctant to follow his tag team partner's potential plans as the two never had a good relationship to trust each other.

Hence, Cody Rhodes might not be able to come on the same page with The OTC, which might become the biggest hurdle in their alliance.

#2. They may try to outdo each other

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes have never been on the same page. However, they have been somewhat forced to team up against Solo Sikoa's version of The Bloodline on SmackDown. While The OTC wants to teach Sikoa a lesson for betraying him, Rhodes wants to put an end to his saga against The Bloodline.

However, the two superstars might outdo each other while battling the members of the heel faction, as both have desperately been seeking vengeance from the Sikoa-led group. Just as one of them tries to charge at Sikoa, the other might push him aside and try to do the same, which might eventually lead to tensions between Reigns and The American Nightmare during the match.

A battle for supremacy between the two top stars could lead to internal conflicts within their tag team, putting their alliance in jeopardy.

#1. Roman Reigns may pay no heed to Cody Rhodes

Roman Reigns made an emphatic statement last week that he does not need Cody Rhodes' help in dealing with The Bloodline. The OTC feels that his rivalry with Solo Sikoa is a family affair that only he should put an end to. Hence, it is possible that the former Universal Champion may pay no heed to Rhodes despite the alliance.

The Head of the Table could warn the current Undisputed WWE Champion not to get involved between him and Sikoa, even if they would be on the same team. His refusal to take help from his former nemesis may strain their alliance and create animosity. Roman Reigns could try to take down The Bloodline by himself during the match without letting Cody Rhodes tag in, as he considers it 'family business.'
