Well folks, hold onto your championship belts and tighten those laces, because WWE is about to unleash a stipulation so wild, it makes a three-ring circus look like a bingo night at the local VFW. In an unprecedented move, the legendary “Bloodline Rules” match is making a grand return at SummerSlam in Cleveland, Ohio. That’s right, the city known for Rock and Roll and undefeated seasons (in losing) is about to witness a wrestling showdown of epic proportions.
During Friday’s “WWE SmackDown,” Solo Sikoa, flanked by his entourage of the Bloodline, threw down the gauntlet at the feet of Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Picture it: Rhodes sauntering into the ring, full of bravado, calling Sikoa a “self-appointed tribal chief.” That’s like calling a selfie stick the best invention since sliced bread. Rhodes made it clear: he’s the Undisputed Champion, and if he somehow loses (spoiler alert: he won’t), he’ll be gunning for revenge like a caffeinated cowboy at high noon.
Rhodes reminisced about beating Roman Reigns in this same stipulation, implying that Reigns was about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. But Sikoa wasn’t having it. Oh no, he declared himself not just strong but dangerous. Dangerous like trying to eat a bowl of soup on a roller coaster.
The stakes skyrocketed when Sikoa proposed making their SummerSlam bout a Bloodline Rules match. Enter Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa, strutting down the ramp like they owned the place. Rhodes, in a move that might have come from watching too many action movies, accepted the challenge. This is the same stipulation where Rhodes previously squared off against Reigns, who had Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in his corner. Talk about a family reunion with more drama than Thanksgiving dinner!
So get ready, Cleveland. The Bloodline Rules match is coming, and it’s going to be more electrifying than a toaster in a bathtub.
