Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa.
• During an interview on the FLAGRANT podcast, Cody Rhodes talked about leaving WWE in 2016 and not signing WWE’s non-compete contract.
The American Nightmare said WWE could have sued him for that:
“It was a huge gamble because I could have been sued. You know, to this day, I don’t think I’ve ever signed the contract (non-compete); I never signed anything after that and it was sent to my house.
I could have been sued, probably should have been sued, but I needed to take a very big risk, and a very big gamble and in that moment, I felt I’d earned it.
I thought, hey, the respect they have for my family, all that I’ve done, never slipped up here once, done everything you asked. Give me this one. Let me ride off, and okay, we’re not gonna chase him.”

• • The new Bloodline defeated the original Bloodline at WWE Crown Jewel 2024. Solo Sikoa pinned Roman Reigns to pick up the win for his team.
During the post-show, Solo had the following to say about his victory:
“I feel happy because Roman got kicked in the face by his so-called family member, Sami Zayn. Sami Zayn tried to trick me, tried to trick The Bloodline, but obviously it didn’t work.
Another thing, why is it shocking? Why is it shocking that I beat Roman Reigns? I was supposed to beat Roman Reigns. I came out on top.
I’m the real OTC. I’m the real Head of the Table. This is my Bloodline, this is my family, this is my show. Another thing, who’s the real Tribal Chief?”
