In a shocking turn of events on “WWE SmackDown,” the wrestling world was left reeling as Jacob Fatu unleashed a ferocious assault, paving the way for the announcement of a blockbuster match: Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa at WWE SummerSlam.
The Chaos Unleashed
The night began with DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) successfully defending their newly-won tag team titles against Austin Theory and Grayson Waller. However, their celebration was short-lived. Out of nowhere, Jacob Fatu stormed the ring, delivering a devastating onslaught on both DIY and their opponents. Fatu’s array of powerful moves left the crowd in awe and set the stage for the arrival of Solo Sikoa and the New Bloodline.
Sikoa’s Bold Declaration
As Sikoa entered the ring, the arena erupted with chants of “We Want Roman,” reflecting the audience’s desire to see the legendary Roman Reigns. Sikoa, however, was undeterred. Grabbing a microphone, he demanded the fans acknowledge him, boldly claiming that even Reigns would acknowledge his supremacy upon his return. The intensity in Sikoa’s voice reached a fever pitch as he turned his attention to the Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes.
“It’s Cody Rhodes’ turn to acknowledge me,” Sikoa declared, his voice dripping with confidence and challenge. Before he could finish his statement, Rhodes’ entrance theme, “Kingdom,” blared through the speakers, and the champ made his way to the ring.
The Challenge Accepted
Cody Rhodes, never one to back down from a fight, stood face-to-face with Sikoa. The tension was palpable as Rhodes agreed to defend his title against Sikoa at SummerSlam. “If it were up to me, the match would happen right now,” Rhodes proclaimed, ready for a fight then and there. The New Bloodline, however, had other plans.
As the faction surrounded Rhodes, the champion showed no fear, throwing punches at each member. Just as Rhodes set up Sikoa for his signature move, Cross Rhodes, Jacob Fatu delivered a punishing superkick, halting Rhodes in his tracks.
Orton’s Valiant Effort
The situation escalated as the beatdown on Rhodes intensified. Just when it seemed all hope was lost, Randy Orton’s music hit, and “The Viper” sprinted to the ring. Orton managed to deliver an RKO to Sikoa over the second rope, but the numbers game soon caught up with him. With Rhodes’ arms tied in the ropes, he could only watch helplessly as Orton took multiple superkicks from Fatu and the New Bloodline. The assault culminated in Orton being powerbombed through the announce desk, leaving him motionless.
A Statement Made
As Rhodes struggled to free himself, he was met with a brutal Samoan Spike from Sikoa. The New Bloodline stood tall, raising their index fingers in the air, a clear symbol of their dominance. They stood over Orton’s broken body and in front of Rhodes, who lay defeated and bound.
The Road to SummerSlam
With SummerSlam on the horizon, the WWE Universe is abuzz with anticipation for the clash between Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa. The events of “WWE SmackDown” have set the stage for what promises to be an epic showdown, with high stakes and personal vendettas fueling the rivalry.
