SummerSlam 2025: American Nightmare Cody Rhodes is gearing up to lock horns with Undisputed Champion John Cena in WWE's next pay-per-view, SummerSlam 2025. Just like WrestleMania, SummerSlam this year will be held across two nights and will feature two main events. The last time both these superstars came face-to-face with each other was when Cena had pinned Rhodes down to win his record 17th Universal Championship.

During the SummerSlam contract signing, Rhodes unleashed himself on John Cena and forcefully made him sign the contract. This move from Cody was unexpected, and nobody saw it coming from him. Cody's recent actions have added more fuel to the fire of rumours that he could turn into something like a Homelander. Cena, on the other hand, is gearing up for the release of the second season of Peacemaker.

Fans have started to speculate that if Cody turns heel, his character will resemble the famous TV series character 'Homelander,' who possesses a deeply flawed, sociopathic personality and has a profound lack of empathy.
