Within the phrases of Cody Rhodes: it isn’t only a match for the title at SummerSlam. In New Jersey, it will likely be a Avenue Combat for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
The primary occasion of Friday’s episode of “WWE SmackDown” noticed what was speculated to be a proper contract signing rework right into a full-out brawl as Rhodes laid his fingers on champion John Cena. By the point the present closed out, the contract was signed — notably, by drive — and the stipulation was clear: Rhodes’ entitled King of the Ring title alternative towards Cena might be one within the streets.
Rhodes and Cena met to signal their SummerSlam contract, however Cena appeared uncharacteristically flighty as he invited Rhodes to sit down. Cena initially refused to signal the contract, underneath the guise of an undisclosed Netflix film schedule. Cena cited his “emotional [exhaustion]” as his purpose for pulling out of SummerSlam earlier than making an attempt to depart. Rhodes’ mood flared because the King of the Ring adopted Cena to tug him again within the ring, and a brawl ensued as Cena threw Rhodes into the metal steps. Cena tried to strike Rhodes along with his title, however the challenger rocked the champion with some kicks earlier than the Undisputed WWE title fell into his fingers.
Rhodes did what he couldn’t do at WrestleMania 41: he struck Cena with the championship. Rhodes put Cena by means of a desk with a Splash with finality, and compelled an unconscious Cena to signal the contract. As soon as Cena’s title was on the contract, Rhodes introduced the contract’s stipulation. Whereas Rhodes has hinted at a quickly approaching heel flip, it’s unclear whether or not Rhodes might be an official heel in his upcoming SummerSlam program.
SummerSlam might be hosted in New Jersey by means of August 2 and three. It’s unclear on which evening Rhodes and Cena’s match will happen.
