Cody Rhodes has been SmackDown's one of the biggest attraction ever since he dwelled on the blue brand after winning the Undisputed WWE Championship. He is set to team up with Roman Reigns and battle The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at Bad Blood 2024. However, a recent announcement has left many people wondering if Rhodes would leave SmackDown and move to RAW after the spectacle.

The speculations arose in light of his upcoming schedule, where he is advertised for multiple appearances on Monday Night RAW this month. The American Nightmare will make his presence felt on the October 21 and October 28, 2024, episodes of the red brand. However, his appearances will be for the dark matches that will take place after the show.

Cody is not leaving SmackDown anytime soon, as he holds the coveted Undisputed WWE Championship on the brand. He will show up on Monday Night RAW later this month to compete in dark matches. With RAW set to be a two-hour show for the remainder of 2024, WWE would need extra things to entertain fans in attendance after the show goes off the air.

Is Triple H getting overconfident? Here are the signs!

As the main attraction and a beloved fan favorite, Rhodes will show up to entertain the live fans in Philadelphia and Hershey on October 21 and October 28, 2024, respectively, following the episode of RAW. However, he will remain part of SmackDown and will continue his storylines.


Will Cody Rhodes' story with The Bloodline end after WWE Bad Blood 2024?

Ever since Cody Rhodes returned to WWE in 2022, The Bloodline has been a pivotal part of his run. He has been entangled in storylines with the heel faction for the majority of his time. This is set to see another layer unfold at Bad Blood 2024, where The American Nightmare will team up with Roman Reigns to battle Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.

However, will Rhodes' story with The Bloodline end after the spectacle? It does not look like it. The reigning Undisputed WWE Champion might still be entangled in the complex web of the stable even after Bad Blood 2024. Rumors are swirling that Cody Rhodes could be part of a massive match this year at Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event, involving Sikoa and his stable.

He is rumored to team up with Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens to battle The Bloodline in the Men's WarGames Match at the PLE. There is a good possibility of this match happening in case WWE decides to delay the potential plans of the reunion of The Usos and Reigns and the resurgence of the original Bloodline.

This is just a rumor at this point, however, and there are no official reports regarding this as of now. Regardless of how things unfold, Cody Rhodes' saga with The Bloodline is expected to continue even after Bad Blood 2024.
