There is speculation about whether Cody Rhodes’ upcoming projects will impact his match at SummerSlam. Known as American Nightmare, Rhodes is set to star in a live-action Street Fighter film that will start production later this year.
As Rhodes prepares to face John Cena for the WWE title on SummerSlam night, many have questioned if his future commitments might influence the match’s outcome. According to a recent update from Fightful Select, Rhodes is involved in a film about Rome’s ruler, possibly featuring Hiruki Goto, expected to begin filming in September.
However, Rhodes is not anticipated to spend much time on set, and insiders suggest that filming will not disrupt the WWE storyline. This gives WWE officials the flexibility to award the title to Rhodes at SummerSlam without concerns about his filming schedule affecting future plans.
The final decision will be revealed during the event, as WWE is keeping the plans for the two main matches under wraps. For those interested, updates on the first night’s main event and wrestling community reactions are available as well.
Fan Take: This news is significant for WWE fans because it highlights how the company balances its storylines with its performers’ external commitments. If Rhodes does reclaim the title, it could signal WWE’s confidence in him as a central figure, potentially shaping the sport’s future narrative.
