Major star can't challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship for major reason, says veteran
Cody Rhodes captured the Undisputed WWE Championship after defeating The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL. While The Bloodline must be interested in regaining the title, a wrestling veteran believes the group's current leader cannot challenge The American Nightmare for a significant reason.
The superstar in question is Solo Sikoa. The Enforcer took control of The Bloodline as Reigns went on hiatus following his defeat at the Show of Shows. Last Saturday, he and his new associates, Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa, attacked Rhodes following the latter's victory over AJ Styles at Clash at the Castle before Randy Orton and Kevin Owens saved the Undisputed WWE Champion.
On the latest episode of the Gigantic Pop podcast, wrestling veteran Matt Morgan addressed whether Sikoa should now challenge Rhodes for the title. The TNA legend claimed no one would buy Sikoa as a legitimate threat to The American Nightmare.
He pointed out the current leader of The Bloodline's 39-match losing streak following his win over John Cena at Crown Jewel:
"No one's buying that. Nobody's believing that. This guy's won one match [two televised matches] since he beat Cena," he said. [17:13 - 17:19]
Ex-WWE host predicts a six-man tag team match at Money in the Bank
While addressing The Bloodline's attack on Cody Rhodes at Clash at the Castle on The Wrestling Matt podcast, former WWE host Matt Camp predicted that The American Nightmare would team up with Randy Orton and Kevin Owens to square off against The Bloodline at Money in the Bank.
Camp pointed out that there is no reason for the company to book the Undisputed WWE Champion in another title match for the upcoming premium live event:
"By getting Cody and Randy close to each other now, I think it's, to me, easy to point to the idea of Cody, Randy, and KO against The Bloodline at Money in the Bank. It's only three weeks away. There's no reason to force another Cody title defense. This is not necessary. Save it," he said.
Camp claimed that Orton could turn on Rhodes during the six-man match or destroy him on the following episode of SmackDown. Meanwhile, he stated that he would have no problem with The Viper dethroning The American Nightmare at SummerSlam only if the 44-year-old brought out his "worst meanest heelest version." It would be interesting to see if that scenario happens.
