.@CodyRhodes has a message for @JohnCena ahead of SummerSlam 😤 pic.twitter.com/69t93OhU9r
— WWE (@WWE) July 26, 2025
Back in the arena, Cody’s music hits and out he comes to the ring. We see clips of last week’s show where there was the contract signing for the WWE Championship match for SummerSlam.
Cody stands in the ring as the fans chant “Cody” and he looks at them. Cody says yesterday, WWE and pro wrestling lost one of its giants in Hulk Hogan. And emotions, feelings regarding it are complicated but what is not complicated are his accomplishments and contributions to WWE, wrestling, entertainment as a whole. They are staggering and indisputable. AS someone who gets to stand in the ring and say he is a WWE superstar, he was the original and he wants to take a moment and say “Thank you Hulk Hogan”.
Rhodes says there are street fights and then there is what is going to happen at SummerSlam. We are not talking about virtue, victory, we are talking about violence. Because that is what virtue demands. Sometimes doing the right thing doesn’t mean doing the right thing. He says the tricky thing is that he does not want to wrestle this John Cena. He does not want to fight a guy who didn’t even want the match in the first place. He doesn’t want to fight the guy who is counting the days until he is out the door, he wants to fight the real John Cena. Because if he is going to stand there and own it, he has to know that he can go through the best and the title that Cena has is the biggest in the business. He says if this is Cena’s last SummerSlam, he wants him to come out like it is his first. To come out talking to Stu, with the title properly on him. They’ll have the hustle and the loyalty but they can beat the respect out of each other.
The fans chant “Cody, Cody Rhodes”. He stands on the second rope and poses for the crowd. He tells them that the reason for wanting that fight against the real John Cena is because he needs to know that this story that they have all been part of is not just fantasy, not just legacy. He needs to know that it meant something, that it was real and the only person who has the answer to that question is John Cena. He tells Cena that he will see him next week. He drops the microphone as his music plays.
We cut to the back and Jacob Fatu cuts a promo. He says he loved Solo but he made him like this. He tried to get him framed, to send him to jail when he told everyone that he is never going back. Last week, Adam Pearce made the Steel Cage match but he does not mind that. Because at the end of the day, he is going to dog walk his ass. In comes The Miz who tells him they have unfinished business. He said he went toe to toe with legends, outlasted monsters, beaten icons. He says he is the main character and that is why he went to Nick Aldis and got a match against him right now. Miz says this is his home town. Fatu looks at him and Miz slaps him. Fatu tells him to “Come on with it” as Miz walks away.
