Cody Rhodes isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and when asked about the ongoing debate within The Bloodline, he didn’t hold back.
During his interview with TheOneMona, Rhodes was asked who he believes is the true Tribal Chief in WWE, considering both Roman Reigns and The Rock have legitimate claims to the title.
“From a reality standpoint, him and The Rock are both Chiefs—real Chiefs, real,” Rhodes said, acknowledging their cultural significance. But he also admitted it took him a while to fully understand what being a Tribal Chief truly means.
“I feel like I might have been naive and maybe a little uncultured in knowing. It took me a while to kind of catch up. You know, when Mr. Heyman says something, you should probably listen. That him going on about the ula fala and stuff—I don’t think I really fully got it. And now I’m thinking, ‘Oh, it’s not the Million Dollar Title. It is genuine, it is real, and he represents it so well. They both do.’ So, but who’s the real Tribal Chief? I guess you’d have to say Roman is the real Tribal Chief.”
While he gave Reigns his respect, Rhodes wasn’t about to let Solo Sikoa off the hook so easily. “I’m not going to say Solo—it’s a child,” he quipped before taking a slight jab at the enforcer of The Bloodline. “I’ll say all kinds of bad stuff about Solo. But maybe one day. Maybe one day for Solo.”
Rhodes’ comments only add more intrigue to The Bloodline’s ongoing power struggle. With The Rock now involved and Roman Reigns still reigning as Undisputed WWE Champion, the family’s leadership remains a hot topic.
