Sure! Here’s a rewritten version of the content:
I was quite surprised by John Cena’s unexpected babyface turn during "SmackDown" tonight. Although it didn’t occur in the opening segment, I’ve thought it over and I must admit I liked it. Part of the appeal was its unpredictability; typically, WWE’s go-home shows shouldn’t be predictable leading into a major event. Honestly, I found it refreshing, especially since Cena’s previous run had been poorly received, and it seems that era has finally come to an end.
Cena’s subtle mention of The Rock was a nice touch when he acknowledged making a mistake five months ago by opting for shocking television instead of substance. There’s been increased buzz about Dwayne Johnson this week, possibly reignited by Cena’s return to a more authentic character. I’m not sure if WWE officials are savvy enough to involve The Rock in the SummerSlam storyline, but it could elevate things if they do.
As for Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam, I sensed a change in momentum tonight. While there weren’t any shocking double turns, the tension still builds as Rhodes celebrated with some beers in China, leaving the door open for what’s to come. I appreciate that tonight left us with more questions than answers, making SummerSlam all the more intriguing.
Cena truly shone tonight when he addressed Rhodes, saying, "It’s just the platinum rapper here to kick your a** this weekend." I usually don’t enjoy many heel promotions, but Cena fired things up in a way that I appreciated. Frankly, I’m glad Cena ensured Scott wasn’t featured prominently.
In my view, instead of having Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Jerry Roll, and Randy Orton dominate the brawls, the show could have been more effective by centering on Cena’s uplifting moment with the fans following his surprising turn. The entire segment left a lasting impression, setting the stage for what’s to come this weekend.
