Cody Rhodes' return to WWE has sent ripples across the wrestling world once again — and this time, he's back with more than just a Cross Rhodes. After his surprise comeback at Saturday Night's Main Event, WWE made it official on RAW that Rhodes will team up with Jey Uso to take on John Cena and Logan Paul at the upcoming Money in the Bank event on June 7.
But that wasn't the only announcement involving The American Nightmare. The company also revealed that Rhodes will be launching a brand-new podcast, 'What Do You Wanna Talk About?', set to premiere this Wednesday.
Cody Rhodes vs John Cena, Logan Paul Heats Up
Rhodes had been off-screen since his crushing WrestleMania 41 loss to John Cena. But in a dramatic twist, he returned just in time to rescue World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso from a two-on-one ambush during the recent main event.
Cena, who had shockingly aligned himself with Logan Paul, tried to help the social media star snatch the title - but Rhodes wasn't having it.
His timely intervention ended with Cena getting hit with a Cross Rhodes and Rhodes officially challenging the duo for a tag match. WWE confirmed the match on RAW, instantly making it one of the most anticipated clashes at Money in the Bank.
Cody Rhodes new podcast premiere is set
Alongside the in-ring storyline, Rhodes is stepping into a new arena - the world of podcasting.

'What Do You Wanna Talk About?' will be available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and WWE's YouTube channel, with new episodes airing every Wednesday. His first guest? None other than his wife, Brandi Rhodes.
The show is part of a larger initiative between WWE and Fanatics. Initially scheduled to debut in April, the podcast was delayed - likely due to Rhodes taking time off. With his return now complete, the podcast offers fans a different glimpse into his journey and perspectives beyond the squared circle.
WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry praised Rhodes' return, calling it 'one of those unexpected moments that makes you a fan again.' Meanwhile, behind the scenes, MVP shared a story of how last-minute match changes - involving Rhodes, have become part of WWE's high-stakes environment.
With the new podcast, a major match at Money in the Bank, and the momentum from his return, Cody Rhodes seems poised to be one of WWE's central figures this summer - both in the ring and behind the mic.

Nikki Bella confirms WWE return, hints at Liv Morgan feud ahead of Evolution 2
Image via WWE Former Divas Champion and WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella is officially back in the WWE spotlight. Making her first appearance on Monday Night Raw since the 2025 Women's Royal Rumble, Nikki was greeted with both cheers and chaos as her segment was interrupted - and cut short, by Women's Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan. Liv's surprise attack, capped off with her signature Oblivion finisher, seemed to signal the beginning of a potential high-profile feud heading into the all-women's Evolution 2 premium live event on July 13 in Atlanta. Instagram update confirms ongoing storyline Days after the ambush, Nikki addressed the moment in a social media post. 'This reality show diva is still on cloud nine 🤩 Annnnd still feeling that ObLIVion…,' she wrote, while confirming her next appearance will be on RAW in Green Bay this Monday. Nikki's return to in-ring action has generated buzz, especially considering her last televised singles match took place back in 2018 - at the first Evolution, when she faced Ronda Rousey in the main event. While the Liv Morgan face-off sets up a likely singles match, rumors suggest the storyline could take a different direction. With Liv currently holding tag team gold alongside Raquel Rodriguez, and the Bella Twins previously expressing interest in chasing the Women's Tag Team Championships, a tag team bout could be on the cards. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트, 지금 시작하세요 [자세히 보기] 임플란트 더 알아보기 Speculation is already swirling about a possible return for Brie Bella, Nikki's sister and longtime tag partner. WWE hasn't officially confirmed her involvement, but with the Tag Titles last defended in April, a Bella Twins comeback match at Evolution 2 would certainly draw attention. Nikki Bella training for a serious comeback According to RAW veteran Natalya, Nikki has been training privately with both herself and Tyson Kidd in preparation for her return. Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling, Natalya noted that Nikki had been working hard behind the scenes for months leading up to her comeback. Natalya reacts to 'Paige in WWE' rumors During her RAW promo, Nikki Bella name-dropped Roxanne Perez, congratulating her through Liv Morgan for winning her Queen of the Ring match. Perez later responded on social media: 'Thanks for the congrats, didn't need it though @NikkiAndBrie 👑🥰 #QueenRox.' The brief mention has sparked speculation over a possible future storyline between Bella and Perez, especially with WWE focusing on merging its legends and new stars more fluidly. With Nikki confirmed for RAW next Monday in Green Bay, all signs point toward a heated build-up with Liv Morgan. The possibility of Brie Bella returning to even the odds also looms large, especially if tag team gold becomes part of the storyline. Whether Nikki stays solo or brings back the Bella Twins, one thing's certain, Evolution 2 is shaping up to be a must-watch event for the women's division. Also Read: When is the WWE Draft 2025?
