On last night's SmackDown, Solo Sikoa was mere seconds away from being assaulted by Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Kevin Owens. However, Fatu made his surprise debut and helped Sikoa by putting down the babyface trio. He even hit a big splash on Rhodes after placing him on the announce desk.
Tonight, Cody Rhodes defeated Shinsuke Nakamura in a title match at a live event. After the contest, the 38-year-old announced that he had suffered two broken ribs. Judging by the fact that The American Nightmare competed in a full-fledged match against Nakamura, it looks like the injury is part of the storyline.

The Samoan Werewolf was one of the most popular wrestlers on the independent circuit before he joined the global juggernaut. Hence, viewers are excited to see what he does next in the coming weeks.
As for Rhodes' "injury," only time will tell whether it is real or he's simply keeping kayfabe alive.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
