When Roman Reigns returned at SummerSlam and confronted Solo Sikoa, it was clear his battle with The Bloodline's new leader would lead to several shocks and surprises. One such surprise took place on last week's episode of SmackDown, where it was revealed Reigns would be teaming up with Cody Rhodes.
At the Bad Blood PLE on October 5th, the former rivals will come together to face Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. When the match became official, some were excited, but others raised doubts about pairing Reigns and Rhodes together due to their complicated history, which headlined the last two WrestleManias.
However, if anything, Roman Reigns needs Cody Rhodes by his side if he wants to finish his story. In this article, we will look at the reasons why.

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes will come full circle
The rivalry between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes was one of the best feuds in modern-day wrestling. While the rivalry had several epic moments, their two matches at WrestleMania 39 and WrestleMania 40 will go down as some of the most memorable matches in history.
Both superstars won one match each in this rivalry, and it would be safe to say they experienced several emotions while it lasted. However, when they team up at Bad Bood, they will go from being rivals to being teammates. This will help them come full circle.
Teaming with Cody Rhodes gets The Rock involved
Roman Reigns teaming up with Cody Rhodes and potentially beating Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at Bad Blood will allow The Rock to enter the story. Seeing Roman team up with Cody, The Rock could take objection, which would set up a feud between him and Reigns.
However, along with this feud, it will also help set up a rivalry between Cody Rhodes and The Rock. This would be extremely beneficial as both these feuds are something that will most likely happen in the near future.
Teaming up with Cody Rhodes will benefit Roman Reigns
Reigns has become a babyface since returning at WWE SummerSlam. By teaming up with the ultimate babyface in Cody Rhodes and doing righteous things, Reigns will only gain more fans, which will benefit him since WWE is now trying to establish him as a good guy.
For all one knows, this could lead to WWE fans cheering for Reigns more than The American Nightmare. Therefore, due to all these benefits, Reigns needs to team up with Rhodes if he wants to finish his story.
