Cody Rhodes described his upcoming match as more than just a battle for the SummerSlam title—it will be a street fight for the undisputed WWE Championship in New Jersey. During Friday’s “WWE Smackdown,” Rhodes and champion John Cena faced off to sign the SummerSlam contract, which turned into a chaotic brawl. Cena hesitated to sign, citing emotional exhaustion and even trying to leave, but Rhodes forced the issue by attacking Cena and slamming him onto a table, eventually making Cena sign while unconscious. With the contract now signed under these intense conditions, Rhodes revealed the match’s street fight stipulation. Though Rhodes hinted at a possible heel turn, it’s still uncertain if he will fully embrace the role ahead of their SummerSlam showdown. The event takes place in New Jersey on August 2nd and 3rd, but the exact night of their match hasn’t been announced yet.
Fan Take: This intense buildup with high stakes adds a thrilling layer of drama for WWE fans, promising a brutal and unforgettable showdown. Rhodes pushing Cena into a street fight narrative could reshape character dynamics and elevate the overall excitement around the WWE Championship scene.
