Last week’s SmackDown concluded with Solo Sikoa launching a surprise attack on Cody Rhodes following Rhodes’ victory over Kevin Owens at Royal Rumble. Based on recent patterns, Rhodes may approach SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis this Friday to request a match against Sikoa at Elimination Chamber.
Rhodes has previously secured matches through Aldis, including his clash with AJ Styles at Clash at the Castle and his recent encounter with Kevin Owens. The unresolved tension between Rhodes and Sikoa, stemming from Sikoa’s SummerSlam performance against Roman Reigns, adds credibility to the potential matchup.
The current direction suggests this confrontation could materialize, particularly given Sikoa’s ongoing championship aspirations and his desire for redemption after the SummerSlam defeat.
