Nick Aldis to add a massive stipulation to Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa II on SmackDown? Possible twist explored

Solo Sikoa wants another shot at Cody Rhodes and the Undisputed WWE Championship. His first attempt at dethroning The American Nightmare was met with Roman Reigns' return to WWE TV. The former Bloodline leader took down the current leader with a Superman Punch and a Spear which helped The American Nightmare retain his championship.

So far, Nick Aldis hasn't granted The Street Champion a rematch, but SmackDown's General Manager can grant him one on tonight's show. Rhodes is supposed to address Sikoa's demand tonight. However, Aldis can add a stipulation to Sikoa and Rhodes' second encounter which will fill The Bloodline leader with rage.

Aldis can ban The Bloodline from being ringside. This will take away the one advantage Sikoa has over Rhodes. Furthermore, another stipulation could state that if the former NXT North American Champion loses, he cannot challenge for the Undisputed WWE Championship till The American Nightmare is the champion.

The Street Champion has a minimal chance of dethroning the Undisputed WWE Championship. Rhodes' rivalry against the self-proclaimed Bloodline leader can be the gateway to making The American Nightmare one of Roman Reigns' allies against Sikoa. The Original Tribal Chief will need as much help as he can get to take down the heel faction.

Former World Heavyweight Champion believes he should have defeated Roman Reigns and not Cody Rhodes

Superstars such as Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and others tried to dethrone Roman Reigns but failed. Finally, Cody Rhodes pinned The Original Tribal Chief at WrestleMania XL.

Former World Heavyweight Champion Drew McIntyre believes he should have been the one to dethrone Roman Reigns. He could've pinned the former Money in the Bank winner Austin Theory to protect Reigns and The Bloodline's story.

"We should have found a way out of this. Theory could have cashed in, and I could have pinned him because we had to protect The Bloodline and Roman at that time, that's the top story in the company, the top character. And perhaps at that time, I was like, I just feel this is a bad move."

Reigns clashed with McIntyre in 2022 at Clash at the Castle in Cardiff. After conquering The Scottish Psychopath, The Original Tribal Chief was finally dethroned in 2024 by Cody Rhodes.
