WWE legend to plead with Roman Reigns not to team up with Cody Rhodes at Bad Blood? Impact explored
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes have had a long-standing rivalry in WWE, and their history is written in blood. However, the two bitter rivals will keep their differences aside and form an unholy alliance at Bad Blood to battle a common enemy—The Bloodline. Roman and Cody will team up for the first time to take on Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in a tag team match.
However, amid the tumultuous relationship between the two stars, a WWE veteran might send an alarming message to the Original Tribal Chief. The name in question is Paul Heyman. For years, Heyman has been in Roman Reigns' corner, serving as his Wiseman. Therefore, the Hall of Famer might look to warn Roman Reigns about the potential threat lurking around him.
The 59-year-old could implore Reigns not to team up with The American Nightmare at Bad Blood, stating that the latter could turn on him. Paul Heyman, one of the veterans in this industry, might look right through Cody Rhodes and the latter's true intentions. Therefore, with a cry of desperation, he could try to make The OTC realize that Rhodes is an enemy not to be trusted.
The Wiseman might try to shed light on the history between the two rivals and explain to Roman Reigns that The American Nightmare could still be looking for vengeance. As per Paul Heyman, Cody Rhodes could eventually turn his back on Reigns at Bad Blood, leaving the latter deserted in the ring for The Bloodline to prey upon him.
Hence, Heyman might desperately ask Roman Reigns to back out of the match. While this could just be a prophecy, it could eventually come true at the upcoming spectacle with Cody Rhodes turning his back on the Original Tribal Chief.
Could Roman Reigns go after Cody Rhodes following Bad Blood?
During a video package that was played last week on SmackDown, Roman Reigns expressed his ultimate goal. While talking with Cody Rhodes, The OTC stated that he would come after the Undisputed WWE Championship once he wraps up his business with The Bloodline.
Will he chase Rhodes' coveted title after his tag team match at Bad Blood? The chances of it happening are quite low. Reigns is currently embroiled in a feud with Solo Sikoa, and The Bloodline saga is simmering at a boiling point. Reigns would likely have a major involvement in it in the coming weeks.
A lot of things are expected to unfold in the ongoing storyline, be it Jimmy Uso's return, the reunion of The Usos, or the re-formation of the original Bloodline. Hence, Roman Reigns is unlikely to chase the Undisputed WWE Champion at this point, with The Bloodline saga at a crucial phase.
It will be interesting to see how things shape up in the coming weeks as WWE has revealed Reigns' upcoming schedule following Bad Blood. Things will certainly get interesting on SmackDown ahead of Survivor Series: WarGames.
