Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes (Street Fight)
The highly anticipated WrestleMania rematch is set for SummerSlam, where Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena will defend the title against Cody Rhodes in a colossal Street Fight.
At The Showcase of the Immortals, Cena captured the title from Rhodes in controversial fashion and later retained against Randy Orton at WWE Backlash and CM Punk at WWE Night of Champions. The self-professed "Last Real Champion" has promised to ruin wrestling by finishing his farewell tour and taking the championship with him.
Not if Rhodes has anything to say about it, though. The American Nightmare won the 2025 King of the Ring Tournament at WWE Night of Champions by defeating Orton in the final and is laser-focused on beating Cena to take back the Undisputed WWE Title and save the industry.
Despite Cena trying to back out of the match, Rhodes managed to get The Greatest of All Time to sign the contract, before revealing that the match will be a Street Fight.
Don't miss SummerSlam on Saturday, Aug. 2, and Sunday, Aug. 3, streaming live at 6 ET/3 PT on Peacock in the United States and on Netflix everywhere else.
