Cody Rhodes: If Solo Sikoa Is Tribal Chief Enough To Beat Me, I’ll Stand In The Ring And Acknowledge Him
Cody Rhodes will acknowledge Solo Sikoa in the middle of the ring if Sikoa is man enough to take the WWE Title away from him.
Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa will clash in a WWE SummerSlam rematch on September 13’s WWE SmackDown. However, this time, the match will be held inside a steel cage.
This stipulation should theoretically mean that Sikoa will be alone and have to claim the WWE Title. If he can do that, Cody Rhodes says that he will acknowledge Sikoa as “Tribal Chief” in front of the whole world.
“I almost have a soft spot for Solo Sikoa,” Cody explained while speaking with Byron Saxton on the WWE SmackDown LowDown. “A legacy wrestler in a faction where everybody is saying, ‘No, I’m the guy.’ Every fan is pointing out and saying, ‘No, he’s the guy.’ I feel for Solo Sikoa. I don’t know what I was thinking, challenging any of them to a fight because the truth is, if you are wrestling, if you are fighting any member of The Bloodline, you are fighting them all. So there is nothing more perfect. There is nothing more destination for this type match than a steel cage.
“I’d be a fool to say I was not concerned [about what Solo Sikoa is capable of inside a steel cage.] I’d be a fool to say I didn’t have a little trepidation, a little fear about it, but I have been in many a steel cage and Solo Sikoa has never been in one,” continued Cody. “We said it out there, right the Ula Fala, The Bloodline revolves around that thing. Well, the WWE revolves around this, the Undisputed WWE Championship. If Solo Sikoa is Tribal Chief enough to defeat me, however he does it, I’ll stand in that ring in front of God, in front of the whole world, and I’ll acknowledge him.”
While Cody is content acknowledging Solo Sikoa should he lose the WWE Title, one person looming over this entire situation is Roman Reigns. At this link, fans can learn more about what Paul Heyman foresees for the future of this storyline.
