Popular WWE Superstar Could Return Sooner Than Expected: Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes has been conspicuously absent from WWE television since his shocking Undisputed WWE Championship loss to a newly heel John Cena at WrestleMania 41 in April 2025. Now, reports suggest his return could be on the horizon, potentially at the upcoming Money in the Bank Premium Live Event. Rhodes' journey over the past year has been a rollercoaster for the WWE Universe. He triumphantly defeated Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 in 2024 to "finish the story" and capture the Undisputed WWE Championship, a deeply emotional moment for him and his fanbase. His reign was a celebrated one, but it came to an unexpected end at WrestleMania 41. There, John Cena, embracing a darker persona, dethroned Rhodes to begin his own record-breaking 17th World Title reign. Since that pivotal night, Rhodes has been away from WWE programming, presumably regrouping after the significant loss. Fans have been eagerly awaiting his return, largely expecting him to seek retribution against Cena and reclaim his championship. Initially, much of the speculation surrounding Rhodes's comeback pointed towards a more extended absence. Some observers believed his return might be strategically timed for a major summer event like SummerSlam in August, allowing for a significant rebuild.

During a recent Q&A on Sportskeeda's WrestleBinge, WrestleVotes provided an update on Rhodes' status for the June 7th Money in the Bank event in Los Angeles, noting he is still scheduled for the show. The annual Money in the Bank event, with its career-altering briefcase, is still a few weeks away. Rhodes' potential involvement, even in a non-wrestling capacity, would undoubtedly generate significant buzz and could kickstart his next major storyline. It is important to note that while Rhodes has been locally advertised for SmackDown events as early as May 16th, WWE has not officially announced these appearances on their television programming. "The American Nightmare" was previously removed from other locally advertised tapings during his current hiatus. Therefore, the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event in Los Angeles on June 7th currently stands as the most concrete reported timeframe for a potential Rhodes return.
