It’s been over 200 days since Cody Rhodes became an Undisputed WWE Champion. While he’s not been upstaged just yet, he hasn’t been able to maintain a clean sheet either. The 39-year-old suffered a pinfall loss to Solo Sikoa in a 6-man tag match at Money in the Bank.
That said, Sikoa’s father, Rikishi, while speaking on the Off The Top podcast, said he could see his son being the one to dethrone Cody for the title. Backing up his previous claim of Sikoa already resonating to a main event status, Rikishi talked about the next thing that could catapult the current Bloodline leader into a whole other stratosphere. The WWE Hall of Famer underscored how Sikoa pinned Roman Reigns‘ shoulders to the mat at Crown Jewel.
It could very well set Solo up for a similar fate against Cody, as alluded to by the 59-year-old veteran. It’s worth mentioning that Sikoa has joined Reigns, The Rock and Drew McIntyre in an elusive four-name list of stars who’ve pinned Rhodes since his epic WrestleMania return in 2022.

Recently, when he and Roman met at the Georgia Tech field to agree on terms for Bad Blood, The OTC asserted that he’d be coming back for the undisputed title.
Elsewhere, The Rock is also lurking. RELATED“My tights were ripped,” Tiffany Stratton discloses hilarious reason behind her wardrobe malfunction during recent WWE tourOn Raw after WrestleMania XL, the Jumanji actor made it clear that he’d return for Rhodes to kickstart their story. As things stand, The American Nightmare seems to be in a mudhole.
He’s on collision course with an unhinged Kevin Owens, who’s already injured Randy Orton to the point that he’s out of action indefinitely. Fans make mockery out of Rikishi for glazing Solo SikoaQuite unsurprisingly, the wrestling fanatics on the internet took Rikishi to the cleaners for his stance of Solo Sikoa. Fans told the retired WWE great to ease up with that kind of take.
Rikishi and Solo Sikoa (via- WWE) One even said his opinions are atrocious. A fan then quipped that The Samoan Stinker wants his entire family to hold championship belts in WWE. Trolls played their part as well, saying he must be smoking the same “delulu” pack as Mercedes Mone.
