WWE SummerSlam 2025: Historic Two-Night Event and Cena vs. Rhodes Rematch

WWE SummerSlam 2025 is set to make history as the first-ever two-night event, taking place on August 2 and 3 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. As WWE’s second-biggest premium live event of the year, fans can expect 12 thrilling matches, with almost every major championship on the line.

The most anticipated clash of the weekend will be the Undisputed WWE Championship rematch between John Cena and Cody Rhodes, which will headline Night 2.

John Cena’s Return to Babyface Status at WWE SummerSlam 2025

One of the most exciting storylines leading into WWE SummerSlam 2025 is the potential return of John Cena as a babyface. Fans are eager to see Cena return to his roots, especially after his controversial heel turn earlier this year.

The WrestleMania 41 match between Cena and Rhodes left many fans disappointed, especially with the interference from Travis Scott, which didn’t quite live up to expectations.

Recent events hint that Cena could be returning to his fan-favorite persona at SummerSlam. At Backlash, Cena showed visible emotion as fans cheered his name during a face-off with Randy Orton, a clear sign of a potential shift.

His recent SmackDown appearance with Rhodes fueled speculation further, with Cena hinting that the WWE Universe would finally see the “real” Cena at WWE SummerSlam 2025.

A Possible Double Turn: Cena vs. Rhodes

An intriguing twist leading into the event is the possibility of a double turn. While fans initially expected Cody Rhodes to go full heel and embrace a darker side, recent changes in his behavior suggest otherwise.

He’s been more aggressive, using ruthless tactics, and his cryptic social media posts have hinted at a transformation. Fans have also noticed him wearing sunglasses similar to The Rock’s, teasing a major shift in character.

If WWE decides to execute this double turn, it could go down as one of the most iconic moments in modern wrestling, comparable to the legendary Austin–Hart double turn at WrestleMania 13.

John Cena’s Heel Turn: A Considerable Setback for WWE

While Cena’s heel turn had its moments, it didn’t land as expected. The storyline lacked the consistency needed to make it feel authentic, especially after key figures like The Rock and Travis Scott were removed from the picture.

Cena’s heel persona never fully resonated with fans, and the lack of momentum left him without direction. As his retirement deadline approaches at the end of the year, a return to Cena’s beloved babyface persona could be the perfect way to send him off.
