This version of <strong>Solo Sikoa<\/strong>, backed by <strong>The Bloodline<\/strong> 2.0, is a different level of threat for Rhodes.<\/p>\n<p>Upon winning the title from <strong>Roman Reigns<\/strong> at <em><strong>WrestleMania 40<\/strong><\/em>, Rhodes might have thought his days of dealing with The Bloodline were over. But that was so far from the truth, as the worst was yet to come.<\/p>\n<p>Coming off of the aforementioned <em>WrestleMania<\/em>, Sikoa took advantage of Reigns&#8217; absence and appointed himself the new Tribal Chief. To solidify his position, he acquired <strong>Tama Tonga<\/strong>, <strong>Tonga Loa<\/strong>, and <strong>Jacob Fatu<\/strong> to be part of his stable.<\/p>\n<p>In previous months, Rhodes has had assistance from <strong>Kevin Owens<\/strong> and <strong>Randy Orton<\/strong> in dealing with this Bloodline. But, at <em>SummerSlam<\/em>, Rhodes and Sikoa are set to meet in one-on-one action, and the gold will be on the line.<\/p>\n<p>It can be expected that Sikoa will have a trick or two up his sleeve, as he tries to assert his dominance by claiming the top title in the promotion. Rhodes has been known to be crafty and, as seen at <em>WrestleMania<\/em> this year, there are also several other Superstars who want to see Rhodes at the top &#8211; and they could also play a role in maintaining that.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa \u2013 Road to SummerSlam 2024: WWE Playlist\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fMPH2NZKMTY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>King and Queen of the Ring Look To Trade Crowns For Titles<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>The <em><strong>King and Queen of the Ring<\/strong><\/em> event occurred on Saturday, May 25 earlier this year. The event saw <strong>Gunther<\/strong> defeat Orton to be crowned the King of the Ring, whilst <strong>Nia Jax<\/strong> vanquished <strong>Lyra Valkyria<\/strong> to become the Queen of the Ring.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It was confirmed then that the two winners of the tournaments would get to challenge for the top titles on their respective brands at <em>SummerSlam<\/em>. This leads to Gunther&#8217;s opponent being <strong>Damian Priest<\/strong> and Jax being set to challenge <strong>Bayley<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For Priest, he has to focus on the formidable threat that is Gunther while also dealing with the problems plaguing <strong>The Judgement Day<\/strong> right now, including the love triangle between <strong>Rhea Ripley<\/strong>, <strong>Dominik Mysterio<\/strong>, and <strong>Liv Morgan<\/strong>. Priest will need to have all his attention directed to Gunther, as he remains the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion at 666 days.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Jax is no stranger to gold, having held the Raw Women&#8217;s Championship once and the WWE Women&#8217;s Tag Team Championship twice. In this era, however, she is yet to claim gold, and this is something she looks to change at <em>SummerSlam<\/em> at the expense of Bayley.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Priest and Bayley will need to make sure that they come right at <em>SummerSlam<\/em> because, for Gunther and Jax, it&#8217;s all about trading the crowns for a major championship.<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<h3>Liv Morgan And Rhea Ripley Fight For More Than Gold<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Morgan won the Women&#8217;s World Championship at <em>King and Queen of the Ring<\/em>, and this was part of her &#8220;Liv Morgan Revenge Tour.&#8221; With Ripley out of the way due to injury, Morgan began to move into Mami&#8217;s territory and began making a play for Mysterio.<\/p>\n<p>This was all thwarted by the return of Ripley on the July 8 edition of <em><strong>Raw<\/strong><\/em>. Since then, Ripley has reclaimed Mysterio, and now she looks to regain the Women&#8217;s World Championship that she never lost.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Women&#8217;s World Championship is what is on the line at <em>SummerSlam<\/em>, it feels like more than just that is up for the two Superstars to lose. With Mysterio firmly by Ripley&#8217;s side, Morgan will be looking to do all that she can to keep the gold.<\/p>\n<p>The question is: Will Ripley be happy with just Mysterio if she does not get the gold? More than that, what is Morgan willing to do to keep the title?<\/p>\n<p>We might just find out the answers to this at <em>SummerSlam<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rhea Ripley challenges Liv Morgan at SummerSlam: Raw highlights, July 15, 2024\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3pTqd6o8VqY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Seth Rollins Facilitates CM Punk and Drew McIntyre&#8217;s Clash<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2024\/07\/31\/match-point-cm-punk-vs-drew-mcintyre\/\" target=\"_self\">feud between <strong>CM Punk<\/strong> and <strong>Drew McIntyre<\/strong><\/a> has been building for months. At <em>SummerSlam<\/em>, the pair finally get to meet in the ring and &#8211; as if this couldn&#8217;t be any more heated &#8211; an interesting factor has been thrown into the bout.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seth &#8216;Freakin&#8217; Rollins<\/strong> has been made the special guest referee for this bout (and we&#8217;ve already gotten one iconic outfit from it!). With Rollins having long-standing issues with both Punk and McIntyre, he can be expected to be impartial&#8230; Or he could just choose to screw both of them.<\/p>\n<p>On the July 29 edition of <em>Raw<\/em>, Rollins, Punk, and McIntyre had an in-ring segment where they addressed each other. This only elevated this match and made it a must-see bout, as it will be interesting to see how the trio engage each other during the match.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see how much control Rollins will be able to have, as well as how much damage Punk and McIntyre manage to inflict on each other. One thing that is for sure is that this feud is just beginning at <em>SummerSlam<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FULL SEGMENT: Seth Rollins, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre meet ahead of SummerSlam: Raw, July 29, 2024\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hHhxsIrx8vs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<h3>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/span><\/em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/em><\/a><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> for more on WWE SummerSlam and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
