John Cena Will Allegedly Lose WWE Title To 9-Time WWE Champion

John Cena has been a dominant force since his victory over Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, becoming a 17-time world champion.

Since then, Big Match John has successfully defended his title against top contenders like CM Punk at Night of Champions and Randy Orton at Backlash, confirming his stronghold on the championship.

However, recent commentary from wrestling analyst Sam Roberts on Notsam Wrestling suggests that John Cena’s reign may come to an end soon. According to Roberts, 9-time WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is poised for a triumphant victory over The Last Real Champion.

Sam Roberts Believes Cody Rhodes Would Tap Into His Darker Side To Beat John Cena

John Cena will put his Undisputed WWE Championship on the line against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam this weekend. Sam Roberts believes the 1-time WWE Champion will defeat Cena at WWE’s biggest summer party to reclaim the title, but the victory may not be the straightforward, heroic win fans expect.

The inaugural Crown Jewel Champion is known as a principled babyface. He has traditionally shied away from underhanded tactics during matches. Yet, Roberts points out that Rhodes’ recent character shift, where he vowed to stop hesitating, could influence the nature of his victory.

The pressure to secure a win and regain the championship belt might lead The American Nightmare to act differently, perhaps bending his moral code.

Roberts said, “I feel like Cody’s gonna win the title. I think Cody’s going to win the title, but it’s not going to be the clear-cut celebration that it was the first time. I think the championship may start corrupting Cody Rhodes. That’s kind of where I’m at.” [58:10 – 58:28]
