Roman Reigns to replace Jey Uso with 12-time champion in Bloodline vs Bloodline match? Alternate plan for WWE Survivor Series explored
Roman Reigns would be laser-focused on his upcoming match at WWE Bad Blood. Facing off against his cousin and the man who usurped his throne, Solo Sikoa, Reigns would be teaming up with his arch-nemesis, Cody Rhodes. But, once he was done with the match, win or lose, he would have to look toward the future and perhaps Survivor Series.
Scheduled to take place in Vancouver, Canada, the hypothesis is that the WWE Universe would be treated to a Bloodline vs. Bloodline match. Now, one would assume that everyone from the old Bloodline would be involved, including the current Intercontinental Champion, Jey Uso. However, there is a chance that Roman Reigns would replace the leader of the Yeet Movement with a 12-time champion, none other than his tag team partner at Bad Blood, Cody Rhodes.
There are a couple of reasons why this is a possibility. First off, Jey Uso has been carving his own path on RAW and is finally progressing in his singles career. However, perhaps the biggest reason, especially in terms of the storyline, might be the fact that his and Roman Reigns' relationship, at least where it was last left off, seems irreparable. So much so that the Original Tribal Chief might find it easier to trust The American Nightmare than trust 'Main Event' Jey.
What's more, Roman doesn't exactly have a good track record when it comes to his family members. He has been betrayed by Jey Uso before and is now dealing with the betrayal of Solo Sikoa. For all we know, he might not even want any family members involved should he take on Sikoa's Bloodline at Survivor Series. Regardless, as things stand, this is nothing more than speculation.
Roman Reigns has promised to have Cody Rhodes back at Bad Blood
Whether anyone likes it or not, there is a bond forming between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. While it seems like a reluctant partnership right now, the two are mature enough to know that winning is all that would matter come WWE Bad Blood. So, with that in mind, the two had a meeting a few weeks ago in Atlanta to straighten things out.
During the meeting, which took both the WWE Universe and social media by storm, Rhodes wanted to know one thing and one thing only. He wanted to know if the Original Tribal Chief would have his back at Bad Blood. Well, Reigns claimed that he would, albeit begrudgingly.
Granted, Reigns did state that after they handled business at Bad Blood, he would be gunning to win back the title he lost, but a bond had been formed. No doubt, it will probably end in tragedy, but as of now, the two have an uneasy trust between them.
