Solo Sikoa has set his sights on getting another shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes in the Stamford-based promotion. The self-proclaimed Tribal Chief had already made it clear before Bash in Berlin that he would be coming after the winner of the Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens match.
With Rhodes still holding the title, it seems likely that Sikoa intends to challenge Cody once again, with Bad Blood 2024 being a prime stage for this encounter.
However, if this scenario unfolds, it's possible that Kevin Owens might go on hiatus from WWE. The Prize Fighter has a long history with The Bloodline, dating back to Roman Reigns’ heel turn during the pandemic era. Owens has been at odds with the faction for years, and if Solo Sikoa receives another title opportunity, KO could express his frustration with this decision.
This frustration could push him to step away from Friday Night SmackDown altogether, feeling disillusioned with the decision. This could serve as an angle to put the 40-year-old star on a break. Upon his return, the former Universal Champion might come back with a villainous character.
Even his heel turn is something many fans expected to happen at Bash in Berlin, though it didn’t materialize.
It will be intriguing to see how things play out on the upcoming episode of SmackDown, especially how Kevin Owens reacts if Solo Sikoa secures another title opportunity against Cody Rhodes.
How Kevin Owens could return if he went on hiatus after the announcement of Cody Rhodes vs Solo Sikoa match?
If the above scenario comes to fruition and Kevin Owens goes on hiatus, The Prize Fighter could likely make his return at Bad Blood 2024. For those unaware, Bad Blood 2024 is scheduled for Saturday, October 5, 2024, live from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
Owens could return to initially aid Cody Rhodes in his battle against Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline. However, after Cody successfully retains the Undisputed WWE Championship, Owens could shockingly turn heel and viciously attack the American Nightmare. This turn would set up a new feud between the two, with Kevin Owens positioned as a villainous force.
Additionally, if Owens assists Rhodes in retaining the Undisputed Championship, it would allow Cody to defeat Sikoa once again without damaging the momentum of The Bloodline. Rhodes previously overcame the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief at SummerSlam, with Roman Reigns making a surprise appearance.
It remains to be seen how Cody will survive this time if their showdown takes place at the upcoming Premium Live Event.
