Cody Rhodes to return at Saturday Night's Main Event? Possibilities explored
Cody Rhodes has been missing from WWE programming since WrestleMania 41 after losing the undisputed WWE Championship to John Cena. Rapper Travis Scott interfered in the match, leading to John Cena hitting the 'QB1' with the belt and securing the historic 17th World Championship.
The American Nightmare's return has been a heated topic among fans since then, and the buzz is that the day is not far away. Cody Rhodes has been the top babyface in the company since rejoining the promotion nearly three years ago.
Hence, there are a number of questions to be answered in regards to Cody's future pursuits and plans. An interesting speculation running around on social media is that the American Nightmare may return at Saturday Night's Main Event, taking place on May 24, 2025. Let's look at the possibility of Rhodes returning at the special WWE program.

Will Cody Rhodes return to take revenge on John Cena at Saturday Night's Main Event?
John Cena will face R-Truth in a non-title match at the Saturday Night's Main Event. R-Truth is keen to help Cena go back to being the person everyone idolised, including himself. He wants to get the 17-time World Champion back to his senses, even if he has to beat it into him.

Reports suggest that R-Truth will be the initiator of the domino-effect leading to Cena's babyface turn, leaving an intriguing space for WWE to unravel with Cody Rhodes.

The American Nightmare has been due for a heel-turn, and fans have speculated that the 39-year-old wrestler will embrace the darkness, and erupt against John Cena.
According to the official WWE website, Cody Rhodes is featured in the May 23 episode of WWE Smackdown and that happens to be the night before Saturday Night's Main Event. Therefore, he might interfere in John Cena's battle against R-Truth and confirm his aspirations to chase the title again.
However, it must be noted that the former undisputed WWE Champion had been featured previously in programs where was nowhere to be found.
Cody Rhodes' heel turn has been discussed internally, but the management has been against the decision as he has become the 'super-hero' babyface that WWE was desperately seeking. His merchandise sales and connection to the younger audience makes a transition to the dark side even more difficult.

Having said that, WWE can still explore two or three options to bring back the 'QB1' in Saturday Night's Main Event that may create headlines. Firstly, R-Truth may turn Cena into a babyface and Cody could then return for vengeance at the end of the match. Cody can also return to save R-Truth from heel Cena's brutality.
There were rumours going around that John Cena and Travis Scott may team-up at Money in the Bank, with Cody Rhodes and a yet-to-be partner as the opposition. WWE can tie up the events at Saturday Night's Main Event to MITB, with Cody Rhodes in the fray.
Although this is still a speculation, certain reports and notions suggest that WWE may end up going to this road heading up to Summerslam.
