Rhodes and Reigns Work Well Together and Top Takeaways of WWE Bad Blood 2024 Results | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Saturday’s Bad Blood main event saw Reigns and Rhodes attempt to set their rivalry aside to take on their shared enemies, Sikoa and Fatu.

The American Nightmare was played to the ring by a marching band and dancers from his hometown of Atlanta, but there was a minor glitch with his quote being played twice at the start of his entrance music. Reigns had a completely different orchestra for his entrance.

The big question going into this bout was: “Can Rhodes and Reigns get along enough to beat a united duo as dangerous as Sikoa and Fatu?”

There was a lot of posturing in an attempt to add some drama to the situation. During the first half, there were long pauses in the action so they could sell and act a bit.

Rhodes and Reigns never came across as best buddies. They did a good job of selling their tension while still appearing to be temporarily united.

Bitter rivals don’t always work well together, but The OTC and The American Nightmare made good on their promise to watch each other’s back. When it looked like the odds were too much, Jimmy Uso returned and helped distract Sikoa so Reigns could spear him for the win.

We even saw Jimmy and Reigns save Rhodes from a post-match beatdown. With Jey holding the IC title and Jimmy officially back in the fold, we could see a reformation of the original Bloodline very soon.

Reigns and Rhodes were able to work together, Jimmy is back, and the main event was a fun ride, but it wasn’t over. The Rock returned and indicated a plan to pursue Reigns, Rhodes or both.

Even if it doesn’t happen again in 2024, Reigns and Rhodes are destined to fight over the title again. It may even be a WrestleMania main event three years in a row.
