4 WWE stars who should help Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton against The Bloodline following SmackDown attack

WWE Friday Night SmackDown aired last night, and it was an intense episode. Several feuds and stories were furthered, but it was the main event segment that left fans in disbelief.

The Bloodline came out, and Solo Sikoa taunted Roman Reigns before making it clear he wants Cody Rhodes and the Undisputed WWE Championship. The American Nightmare proceeded to join him, which eventually led to a physical confrontation.

Randy Orton tried to help Cody, but in the end, Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa proved to be too much for the pair. This led to Cody Rhodes being tied up in the ropes while Orton was beaten down, brutalized, and put through the announce table.

It's clear that Cody and Randy can't handle these four men alone. This article will take a look at a handful of performers who could potentially step up and unite with the top stars to take down the unstoppable group. This includes a tag team who felt their wrath, an absent adversary of the faction, and a surprise selection who isn't known for his bravery.

Below are four WWE Superstars who should help Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton against The Bloodline:

#4. Johnny Gargano & #3. Tommaso Ciampa, the WWE Tag Team Champions, have a bone to pick with The Bloodline

#DIY is one of the best tag teams in the world. The team is comprised of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. The duo joined forces during their time in NXT. They went on to have a memorable feud on the developmental brand but reunited on the main roster last year.

The talented duo of The Blackheart and Johnny Wrestling has had a big few weeks on SmackDown. Last week, the pair defeated A-Town Down Under to win the WWE Tag Team Title. The duo retained the gold against the former champions this week.

Unfortunately, the pair didn't have a great time after their win. Jacob Fatu came out and decimated both men in a riveting fashion. As a result, they will surely want to script redemption. As a result, they may volunteer their services to The Viper and The American Nightmare.

#2. Austin Theory could turn babyface and help them out

Austin Theory has long been one of WWE's most cocky and annoying stars, but despite that, he has proven to be successful. A-Town's Finest is a former WWE Tag Team Champion, United States Champion, and Money in the Bank winner.

In the past few weeks, there has been significant tension between Grayson Waller and Austin Theory, and the former is likely to turn on his tag-team partner in the coming days.

If that is indeed the plan, what better way to be a babyface than by uniting with Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes? Beyond that, Austin was also laid out by Fatu, while Grayson ran away. A-Town's Finest would want revenge, and he can align with the two top names of SmackDown to achieve his goal.

#1. Kevin Owens could save the day when he returns

Kevin Owens is one of the best pro wrestlers in the world. He has long been a top brawler who can also do extraordinary high-flying despite his size. As a babyface, fans love the grumpy but likable performer. He's also a former Universal Champion, which helps solidify his WWE legacy.

Unfortunately, The Prizefighter missed this week's SmackDown due to personal reasons. Owens recently revealed that his mother was hospitalized. While he didn't want to take time away, Randy Orton urged him to miss SmackDown this week to be with his family.

When the former Universal Champion does return, however, he will likely unite with Orton and Rhodes again to take on The Bloodline. The three of them lost to the heel faction at WWE MITB 2024, but Owens is a key part of the puzzle regardless and should absolutely have Randy and Cody's backs moving forward.
