Just when you thought SmackDown was wrapping up nicely, BOOM—Solo Sikoa returned from exile, looking angrier than ever and ready to wreck some dreams. Specifically, Cody Rhodes’ dreams. Because why let the guy have a peaceful night when you can Samoan Spike him into next week?
Jey Uso’s Big Decision… or Lack of One
The night started with Jey Uso soaking in the Royal Rumble glow and deciding whether he wanted to face Cody Rhodes or Gunther at WrestleMania. Sounds like a nice, peaceful moment of reflection, right? Wrong.
Enter Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga, who had other plans—namely, throwing hands. That led to Jey teaming up with Cody for a SmackDown main event against Fatu and Tonga. Because in WWE, every emotional conversation is just two steps away from a tag match.
Cody & Jey Win, But Nobody Goes Home Happy
Fast-forward to the match, and things got wild fast. Jey Uso went airborne, wiping out his cousin over the announcer’s desk, and Cody sealed the deal by planting Tonga with Cross Rhodes for the 1-2-3. Everyone’s happy, right?
Nope.
As Cody stood tall, probably thinking about his next dramatic promo, a hooded figure snuck into the ring and WHAM—Samoan Spike outta nowhere. The man under the hood? Solo Sikoa. And just like that, the WWE Champion was left gasping for air while Solo stood over him like a final boss.
Solo Sikoa’s Revenge Tour Begins
The last time we saw Solo, he was walking away silently after his loss to Roman Reigns in Tribal Combat. No words, no explanations, just a quiet exit while Fatu and Tonga took over. But now? Solo’s back, and he’s not here to chat.
By attacking Cody, he’s reigniting a rivalry that didn’t end well for him last year. He had two failed title shots against Cody, and the last time he was in the ring with him, he and Fatu lost to Rhodes and Reigns. Safe to say, Solo’s had plenty of time to stew on those losses—and judging by how hard he hit that Samoan Spike, he’s done playing nice.
Final Thoughts:
- Jey Uso: Still undecided, probably confused.
- Cody Rhodes: Celebrated too early. Big mistake.
- Solo Sikoa: Back, angry, and clearly not over the past.
- WrestleMania implications? Oh, absolutely.
One thing’s for sure—Cody Rhodes just added another problem to his growing list, and Solo Sikoa is looking to settle some unfinished business. Buckle up.
