Although there are no signs in sight of Cody Rhodes losing the Undisputed WWE Championship, Rikishi feels one man is ready for the moment.
Roman Reigns, Jey Uso & Jimmy Uso vs. The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, & Tama Tonga) took place at the WWE Crown Jewel Premium Live Event from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Solo hit two samoan spikes to Reigns twice for the win.
Since then, Sami Zayn has joined Reigns and The Usos as they will meet the Bloodline at Survivor Series in the WarGames match later this month. On his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi stated that since Sikoa is a made man now, he could dethrone Rhodes as the top SmackDown champion.
Rikishi stated, “Well, like I mentioned [on] the last podcast we had, Solo’s a made man. For that to happen, there’s definitely, we see plans within this kid that you know what can be the next level for him. We talked about, does he need a belt? Well, after this one-two-three on Roman, I can see maybe Solo being the one to take it off of Cody. I talked about maybe Roman will come back and take it off of Cody. But after seeing that [Crown Jewel pinfall], you beat the GOAT. I believe it was two or three spikes, but now, it’s like okay, you beat the GOAT, now you’re considered the GOAT. The GOAT-slayer.”
