John Cena Contract Signing Announced For WWE SmackDown
Cody Rhodes and John Cena are set to come face to face.
At WrestleMania 41, John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes to claim a record 17th World Championship after a large slice of help from Travis Scott.
Since then, Rhodes has been battling his way back into title contention and became the number one contender for Cena’s title after winning the King of the Ring tournament. This set up a rematch at the first-ever two-night SummerSlam on August 2 and August 3.
Meanwhile, Cena has successfully defended his title against Randy Orton and CM Punk.
