Cody Rhodes to respond to Solo Sikoa on WWE SmackDown

Cody Rhodes is heading to SmackDown.

It was announced during Raw that the final SmackDown on Fox this Friday will see Cody Rhodes respond to Solo Sikoa. On last week’s show, a video was shown of Sikoa saying that no matter who wins the WWE Championship match at Bash in Berlin, he is coming after the Undisputed WWE Championship.

“Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens — I don’t give a damn which one of you wins,” Sikoa said. “Because whoever is the champion after tomorrow, the Tribal Chief is coming for you.”

Rhodes went on to defeat Owens to retain the title in the opening match of Saturday’s premium live event in Berlin.

The last time Rhodes and Sikoa met was at SummerSlam when Rhodes scored the win after Roman Reigns made his return to WWE, taking out Sikoa with a Superman punch. Several weeks later, Sikoa and his Bloodline got the better of Reigns after Jacob Fatu returned, taking out Reigns by powerbombing him through the announce table.

Here is the updated card for SmackDown:

  • Tag match involving The Bloodline, DIY, and The Street Profits
  • Giovanni Vinci returns
  • Cody Rhodes to respond to Solo Sikoa
