In a dramatic turn of events on the October 16, 2024, episode of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns shocked fans and fellow superstars by losing his composure and unleashing a vicious assault on Solo Sikoa and teammate Cody Rhodes. The chaos erupted during a high-stakes tag team match that saw Reigns team up with Solo Sikoa to take on Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu. However, what began as a competitive showdown quickly devolved into mayhem when tensions within the ring boiled over, causing Reigns to lash out.
The trouble started when Cody Rhodes got in Roman Reigns’ way during a critical moment in the match. Rhodes inadvertently blocked Reigns’ path while going for an attack on Jacob Fatu, causing the Tribal Chief to lose his cool. Frustrated and enraged, Reigns turned his fury towards Cody, hitting him with a brutal Superman punch, leaving fans stunned and commentators questioning his motives. The unexpected attack on his own teammate left Cody dazed and allowed Jacob Fatu to briefly take control of the match.
But Reigns wasn’t finished. The chaos only escalated when he shifted his rage to his own cousin, Solo Sikoa, who tried to intervene and calm the situation. Instead of cooling down, Reigns doubled down on his fury, delivering a series of punishing blows to Sikoa. The vicious assault on his family member left Solo reeling on the mat, as Reigns unleashed spear after spear with no regard for the damage he was causing.
The crowd watched in disbelief as Roman Reigns’ actions spiraled out of control. For years, Reigns has dominated WWE as the Tribal Chief, leading the Bloodline with an iron fist. Yet, his behavior on SmackDown seemed to mark a significant shift, with many questioning whether he has finally lost his grip. The once unified Bloodline appears fractured, as Reigns’ brutal attack on his own partner and family member suggests deep-seated issues within the faction.
After the match, Reigns’ rampage continued backstage, where he smashed equipment and vented his anger at anyone who crossed his path. His outburst has raised questions about the future of the Bloodline and whether Roman Reigns can still lead his faction effectively. With Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes now on the receiving end of his wrath, it remains to be seen if the cracks within the Bloodline can ever be repaired.
This latest incident underscores the growing unpredictability surrounding Roman Reigns. The pressure of maintaining his historic championship reign seems to be pushing him to the edge, and the WWE Universe is left wondering if his actions were a calculated power move or a sign of a champion unraveling under the weight of his own expectations.
As SmackDown concluded, it was clear that the fallout from Roman Reigns’ breakdown would have far-reaching consequences, not only for his own future but also for the entire WWE landscape. Fans will be eagerly watching to see how this explosive situation develops and what it means for the fate of the Bloodline.
