"He needs to be careful"- Real-life Bloodline member jokingly addresses alleged beef with Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes has been under The Bloodline's radar for a while now. Recently, reigning WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax jokingly addressed her alleged beef with Rhodes and stated that The American Nightmare was on her hit list.
Cody Rhodes' saga with The Bloodline started in early 2023 when The American Nightmare stood up against Roman Reigns and the original version of the faction. Cody defeated the Original Tribal Chief at WrestleMania XL to finish his story. However, his story with the heel faction has continued since then, as new faces have emerged as the Undisputed WWE Champion's challengers.
In an interview on Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez, Nia Jax jokingly addressed her beef with Cody. Notably, the two were photographed together backstage with their respective championships at SummerSlam 2024. Later, the real-life Bloodline member took to her Instagram account and jokingly said she agreed to get photographed with the erstwhile Stardust because they were champions and that she had not forgotten what Cody had said about her family.
During the interaction, The Irresistible Force stated that while Cody Rhodes was a ''charmer,'' he was also a ''politician,'' adding that the 39-year-old was on her list.
"You know, I have to respect Cody [Rhodes] because we're both champions right now. But, listen, Cody knows; he knows that he's definitely on my list, and he needs to be careful. He's a charmer. I call him a politician. So, he's over there trying to be political with me, but I always keep my eye on that guy," Jax said. (From 01:15 to 01:37)

Nia Jax and Cody Rhodes could appear and compete at WWE Bad Blood 2024
Another chapter was added to The Bloodline's story when Solo Sikoa created his army to take down The American Nightmare and bring the Undisputed WWE Championship back to the faction.
However, it didn't go as planned at SummerSlam 2024, as Roman Reigns returned to lay out his former Enforcer during the Bloodline Match, enabling Cody Rhodes to retain the title. Last week, Rhodes again retained his gold in a Steel Cage Match against the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief.
Later, The American Nightmare agreed to team up with the Original Tribal Chief at Bad Blood in Atlanta. The two megastars of Friday Night SmackDown will team up for the first time against The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. Meanwhile, Nia Jax could also compete at the PLE.
On the recent edition of SmackDown, a tag team match was announced for this Friday, with Bayley and Naomi set to lock horns with Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax. The star who pins the heel tag team would face The Irresistible Force for the WWE Women's Title at Bad Blood.
However, if Bayley or Naomi take the pin, the losing star would be forced to leave the brand. It'll be interesting to see how the story unfolds this week.
