A real-life member of The Bloodline pulled out of an upcoming show ahead of tonight's edition of WWE SmackDown. Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu are scheduled to battle Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns in a tag team match at Bad Blood next month.
Ahead of tonight's edition of SmackDown, Zilla Fatu, the son of Umaga, took to social media to announce that he will not be competing at GCW Aura tonight in Philadelphia. The 25-year-old was scheduled to battle Matt Tremont in a singles match at the event tonight.
"Won't be performing tonight in philly….." he wrote.
Zilla Fatu shared a cryptic message on social media after Roman Reigns helped Cody Rhodes against The Bloodline last week on SmackDown. Cody Rhodes defeated Solo Sikoa in a Steel Cage match last Friday night but was attacked by The Bloodline following the match. Fatu also recently reacted to Umaga's manager, Armando Estrada, signing a Legends deal with WWE.
Real-life Bloodline member wants to wrestle Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes
Afa Anoa'i Jr. recently shared that he would like the opportunity to square off against Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
The American Nightmare has been battling The Bloodline for a long time now on WWE television. He defeated Roman Reigns to capture the title at WrestleMania XL but is set to team up with The Original Tribal Chief next month at Bad Blood to battle the faction.
In an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Anoa'i Jr. was asked if there was anyone he would like to compete against on the current roster. The veteran named Rhodes and added that they could tell a good story together.
"I'd like to get in there with Cody," Afa Anoa'i Jr. said after excluding every Anoa'i family member. "Because we have a history together. And last time I've seen him in the ring, it wasn't too favorable on my end. So, I think we could tell a good story there."
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes will have a showdown tonight on SmackDown. It will be fascinating to see what the promotion has planned for their tag team match against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at Bad Blood on October 5.
