Cody Rhodes to be attacked backstage and replaced by 8-time WWE champion at Bad Blood? Exploring Roman Reigns' potential backup plan

Roman Reigns could have a backup plan at the Bad Blood 2024 Premium Live Event if a former champion decides to attack Cody Rhodes backstage before the match. At the PLE, The Original Tribal Chief and The American Nightmare will take on The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in a tag team match.

Many superstars on the WWE roster were unhappy when Cody Rhodes joined forces with Roman Reigns due to the damage the latter had done to them over the past four years.

Last week on SmackDown, fans saw Kevin Owens have a heated moment with Rhodes. While Randy Orton cooled things off at that time, fans could see The Prizefighter plan a sudden attack on Cody backstage at Bad Blood 2024.

If that happens, many people would feel that Roman is in huge trouble because of the main event of Bad Blood 2024. However, if one knows Reigns well, he carefully plans things keeping every possible outcome in mind.

If Owens takes out Rhodes backstage at Bad Blood 2024, Reigns could bring in Jimmy Uso to partner up with him. There could be a situation where The Original Tribal Chief might keep Jimmy as his backup in case any unforeseen circumstances come to fruition.

Jimmy Uso, who is an eight-time WWE champion, was last seen on the fallout episode of SmackDown after WrestleMania XL when Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga kicked him out of The Bloodline. There are rumors that he is medically cleared to return and could come back at Bad Blood 2024.

WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes heaped praise on Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are arguably the biggest rivals of modern WWE history. For the past two years, the duo has told stories that will be in the books of pro wrestling history forever.

While speaking in an interview recently, Cody Rhodes revealed how Roman Reigns brings out the best in him. He claimed there was a spark or magic when he stood across The Head of the Table in the ring:

"Every now and then, you find somebody that you stand across from the ring, whether you love them, hate them, know nothing about them, know everything about them, that there's a spark, there's a magic. He brings something out of me. When I look at nutrition. When I look at dialing in, when I look at focus, when I look at the structure of a wrestling match, when I look at a premium event, whatever it might be, he brings something out of me that I don't think I knew was there. I would hope I do the same for him."

The tag team match between Reigns & Rhodes and The Bloodline will be the main event of Bad Blood 2024.
