Cody Rhodes reacts to Triple H's blockbuster announcement about new era ahead of WWE SmackDown 

Cody Rhodes has reacted to Triple H's announcement ahead of the huge episode of WWE SmackDown, which premiers on USA Network. The Game had previously taken to social media to talk about what Rhodes would have to do.

Earlier in the night, Triple H decided to reveal what was waiting for fans on SmackDown. He said that Rhodes would defend his title against Solo Sikoa as was planned and that it would be in a Steel Cage like it had been decided before. However, he said that the championship match would happen in the very first match to kick off SmackDown's premiere episode and the return to USA Network.

On top of that, he decided to leave the rest of the show a huge mystery for fans.

"Tomorrow night, LIVE from Seattle, @CodyRhodes vs. Solo Sikoa in a Steel Cage for the Undisputed WWE Championship will kick off #SmackDown’s monumental return to @USANetwork at 8/7c. As for the rest of the show… you’ll just have to wait and see."

Cody Rhodes has now reacted to the news that he will be the one responsible for kicking off a whole new era of SmackDown with the premiere. His match against Solo Sikoa will be the first thing viewers of the USA Network see as SmackDown returns.

"The next era of #SmackDown starts tomorrow on the @USANetwork. Couldn’t think of a better way to kick things off!"

Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa has been building up for some time

While the two stars faced each other previously at SummerSlam, this match has been building for quite some time.

Cody Rhodes will face Solo Sikoa in what will be a match to determine if the new Bloodline can stake a claim. Now, with Roman Reigns having returned at SummerSlam and cost Sikoa on that occasion, a steel cage might ensure a fair result this time around.

With the rest of the Bloodline unable to interfere directly, it remains to be seen whether Roman Reigns will have anything to say.
