Check out the full extent of WWE's quality photography above. You can see a celebrating Cody Rhodes glancing up to the tron high above the ring as an insincere (and bloody dangerous) Solo Sikoa applauds behind him on the stage. That led to a brawl between Cody and The Bloodline before he was saved by Kevin Owens and Randy Orton.

Big ol' six-man tag incoming.

Casting Solo as Cody's rival for MITB is a solid plan. Sikoa will be able to brag in advance about doing something the so-called "Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns couldn't at WrestleMania 40, and that'll further exasperate a totally depressed Paul Heyman before Roman's grand return to action.

Naturally, Solo will fail in his bid to wrestle the WWE Title away from Rhodes, but he's ready for a one-on-one PLE main event vs. someone the standing of Cody. Watch his stunning heel work opposite KO from SmackDown for proof of that.

Heyman is about to get the blame for Solo's shortcomings.
