Cody Rhodes' reign continues.
In the main event of WWE SummerSlam 2024, Cody Rhodes defended the Undisputed WWE Championship against Solo Sikoa in a Bloodline Rules match. Rhodes and Sikoa battled it out in a hard-fought bout. Rhodes was on the verge of victory when Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa ran in and attacked him. They ganged up on Rhodes, but Kevin Owens and Randy Orton both returned, as they had been out of action since The Bloodline took them out.
