Cody Rhodes sends a message to Roman Reigns after he makes a major promise to him ahead of WWE Bad Blood

Roman Reigns has promised to back Cody Rhodes at the upcoming WWE Bad Blood Premium Live Event. On SmackDown this week, the two long-term rivals came face-to-face ahead of their showdown against The Bloodline.

Rhodes and Reigns have a long history with one another. At WrestleMania XL, Reigns was dethroned by the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion, who ended The Original Tribal Chief's historic title reign. The year before, the two collided in the main event of WrestleMania 39, with Reigns emerging victorious and retaining the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

​

On X/Twitter, Rhodes sent a message moments after their segment aired on SmackDown.

​

"Let’s see if you’re a man of your word, @WWERomanReigns #WWEBadBlood," wrote Rhodes.

Check out Cody Rhodes' tweet:

At the SummerSlam Premium Live Event, Reigns returned for the first time since losing to Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. Upon his return, he cost Solo Sikoa the Undisputed WWE Championship against The American Nightmare.

Several weeks later, Reigns was taken out by The Bloodline before returning to SmackDown after Rhodes' Steel Cage Match against Sikoa. He once again took the fight to The Bloodline before joining forces with Rhodes to fight a common enemy.

At Bad Blood, Reigns and Rhodes will face the Bloodline duo of Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.
