WWE SummerSlam 2025: Is Cody Rhodes turning Heel against John Cena? Possibilities Explored
SummerSlam 2025 could see John Cena and Cody Rhodes in the most intriguing storyline WWE's ever constructed, and Cody could turn heel in the process. As the stakes have never been higher, and permanent changes to personalities are just around the bend, fans are anticipating a massive double-turn in the making. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This includes SummerSlam 2025, the first two-night SummerSlam in WWE history, which will take place at MetLife Stadium on August 2 and 3. John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes- Street Fight for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Cena captured the title from Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 in an ending controversial by design, with interference and nefarious tactics, being a rarity in his career, defining the heel turn as a 16-time world champion. John Cena's return to babyface leaves the door open for Rhodes John Cena confronted Cody on the SmackDown go-home episode to SummerSlam and, after some bravado, delivered an impassioned promo about the way he has been acting as of late. He confessed to having lost his way by getting in line with outside influences and said the "real John Cena" was now back. And with that, Cena seemed to completely reclaim his babyface persona, believing there would need to be lots of room for firsts as they entered the final stretch leading up to their big showdown in SummerSlam. With this change in Cena, it has raised some questions about the status of Cody Rhodes. Now, the people's champion and the man (the "American Nightmare") who was supposed to finish his story, Rhodes, finds his career at a crossroads. Those actions and increasingly aggressive tone lately, most notably during his ongoing rivalry with Randy Orton, have raised some eyebrows. Also Read: Cody Rhodes inching toward a darker persona? Rhodes has publicly said on several occasions now that he has no plans on working heel, but fans and pundits alike are reading between the lines. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now His fans know where this dark turn is headed; his body language, his subtle taunts at the crowds, along with the chance of surprise interference during the match. Some, still, even speculate that one or more of Cena's other former allies may join forces with Rhodes just in time to turn the feud and push Cena into a necessary, and overdue, full character change. If WWE does this double-turn (turning Cena back into a full-on babyface and turning Rhodes into a top-tier heel), it will be a monumental creative decision that will rank among the biggest of the year. With a Street Fight at play, expect total carnage. This leaves plenty of room for outside meddling, jaw-dropping plot developments, and heartbreaking drama.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 Predictions: Is John Cena losing the WWE Undisputed Title against Cody Rhodes?
Images via WWE: John Cena and Cody Rhodes For the first time, WWE SummerSlam is expanding into a two-night spectacle, making history this weekend at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. As the company's second-biggest premium live event of the year, the two-night showdown is set to go down on August 2 and August 3. A total of 12 matches are currently confirmed for the weekend, with nearly every main-roster championship up for grabs. However, the most anticipated and unpredictable clash is the Undisputed WWE Championship rematch between John Cena and Cody Rhodes, set to headline Night 2. Will John Cena Finally Turn Babyface at SummerSlam 2025? The WrestleMania 41 clash between Cena and Rhodes didn't quite live up to expectations. With just Travis Scott interfering on behalf of 'The Cenation Leader,' the match fell flat, leaving many fans disappointed. Now, WWE seems determined to course-correct and deliver a more authentic version of Cena as his retirement tour continues. Signs of a baby face return have been in motion for weeks. At Backlash, Cena was visibly emotional as fans chanted his name during his face-off with Randy Orton, hinting at a potential shift in character. His recent SmackDown segment with Rhodes only added fuel to the speculation, as he appeared to suggest that the WWE Universe will finally see the 'real' him at SummerSlam. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses In Lebakgede Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo All signs point toward him embracing the heroic role he's played for over two decades. FULL SEGMENT: The real John Cena returned in face-off with Cody Rhodes: SmackDown, Aug. 1, 2025 Interestingly, this could also pave the way for a major double turn. While fans initially expected Rhodes to go full-on 'Codelander' on the road to WrestleMania, he may now follow through. Subtle changes in his demeanor, like more aggression, ruthless tactics, and cryptic social media posts, have hinted at a darker edge. He even teased fans by wearing sunglasses similar to The Rock's and hinted that his "offer" to the champion is still on the table. If WWE pulls the trigger, this could lead to one of the most iconic double turns in modern wrestling, possibly on the same level as the legendary Stone Cold Steve Austin–Bret Hart switch at WrestleMania 13. A Considerable Failure of John Cena's Heel Turn Could Force the WWE to Bring Him Back to His Roots Yes, and it's clear that John Cena's heel turn didn't land as intended. It was a bold, creative swing, but the execution never quite clicked. The storyline lacked consistency, and once both The Rock and Scott disappeared from TV, the momentum fizzled out. Cena was left without direction, and the heel persona never gained the emotional depth it needed to truly resonate with fans. At this point, a return to what made Cena successful for so many years feels necessary. That said, it wouldn't be fair to label this entire heel run a failure. It gave fans several standout moments, especially his clashes with CM Punk and Orton, which avoided simply recycling old rivalries. The added challenge of Cena's looming retirement deadline at the end of the year also placed added pressure on this storyline to deliver.

Bringing Cena back to his babyface roots and dropping the title to Rhodes could be the most fitting way to let him say goodbye, as the beloved hero fans have known for decades.

SummerSlam 2025: CM Punk to beat Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, but not leave with the title?
CM Punk is set to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2025 on August 2. The match will be the main-event of Night 1, which means it will close the show. The placement of this bout on the card suggests that it will end on a shocking note as is the case with most featured bouts. Take John Cena and Cody Rhodes' WrestleMania 41 match for instance. Its finish saw Cena beat 'QB1' with help from Travis Scott and capture the Undisputed Championship. Given this trend, one can expect the unexpected when Gunther locks horns with CM Punk as well. Seth Rollins to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase at SummerSlam 2025? Seth Rollins has not been seen on WWE programming since he picked up an 'injury' during his match against LA Knight at Saturday Night's Main Event last month. This was described as a legit setback, which would see him miss an extended period of time. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, journalist Dave Meltzer confirmed that the WWE had planned an injury angle with Rollins. The plan was for him to cash-in his Money in the Bank contract on the winner of Gunther and Punk's match after being absent from WWE programming with an injury. Meltzer added that it is not clear whether the company still plans to go in this direction. He, however, did not explicitly rule out the possibility of a cash-in. That said, everything will eventually depend on the nature of Rollins' injury. If he is fir or the injury was a 'work', one can expect him to cash-in at SummerSlam. However, if 'The Visionary' is not cleared, WWE may take a different route to ensure a shocking finish. Is Bron Breakker WWE's 'plan B'? Bron Breakker has been Seth Rollins' ally since the night after WrestleMania 41. His association with the former Shield member has essentially propelled him to the main event scene. In fact, he recently called himself 'the leader' of the group in Rollins' absence. Given this, there is a possibility of Paul Heyman using his 'influence' to give 'The Badass' an opportunity to cash in the briefcase. That said, in either case, the cash-in is likely to happen on CM Punk as he has a history with Rollins and his faction. This suggests that 'The Best in the World' will beat Gunther to capture the gold this Saturday. He, however, may not leave as the champ. SummerSlam will be held at MetLife Stadium on August 2 and August 3. To stay updated on the stories that are going viral, follow Indiatimes Trending.
