This week's SmackDown is set to heat up as Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline 2.0 take center stage, with the 31-year-old going head-to-head against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship inside a steel cage.

The outcome of this match will set the stage for the Bad Blood 2024 Premium Live Event. With Roman Reigns making an appearance this week, there's a lot that could unfold, and plenty of exciting scenarios to look forward to for the October event.

Here are three predictions for The Bloodline at WWE Bad Blood 2024:

#3. Solo Sikoa appoints Rikishi as his new Wiseman

Solo Sikoa could surprise everyone at the event by introducing his father, Rikishi, as his new Wiseman.

The Hall of Famer's ties to the Anoa’i family give him some serious credibility, making him an ideal mentor for Solo Sikoa. Rikishi’s involvement could add a ton of authenticity and emotional layers as Wiseman. Plus, having someone like him around could elevate Solo’s status and stir up some fascinating family drama in The Bloodline.

Once Rikishi steps into the role of the Wiseman, he might try to convince his other sons, Jimmy and Jey Uso, to join Sikoa. Even though the 58-year-old could give it a shot to sway The Usos, they might still choose to back Roman Reigns, which could amp up the tension and cause some major rifts, setting the stage for intense confrontations and fresh storylines.

#2. Solo Sikoa reveals The Rock as the real Tribal Chief

At Bad Blood, Solo Sikoa could announce that the true Tribal Chief has always been someone else. He was just there to recognize that fact and act as his Enforcer.

As Sikoa's words echo through the arena, The Rock’s entrance music could hit. The Final Boss could stride confidently to the ring as Solo extends the Ula Fala to him. Solo’s gesture would symbolize his pledge to serve as The Rock’s enforcer, solidifying The Rock’s position as the Tribal Chief while marking Solo’s commitment to uphold his legacy.

#1. Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso face Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga

As mentioned above, Roman Reigns is set to appear on this week's SmackDown, where he might declare his intentions to pursue Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and their tag team championships. Additionally, he could tease that his partner will remain a mystery until the big reveal at Bad Blood.

The mystery partner could then be revealed as Jimmy Uso. This twist might set the stage for an epic clash with Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga for the tag team titles at the Bad Blood PLE. Fans would be buzzing with excitement, waiting for some intense matches and new storylines to develop after the dust settles, all leading up to the Survivor Series Premium Live Event, where everything will finally be settled.
