John Cena and Cody Rhodes will size each other up one last time before WWE SummerSlam. On Sunday, Rhodes and Cena will write a street fight sequel to their WrestleMania 41 main event. They share their final statements tonight on SmackDown.
Cena has been the undisputed WWE champion since beating Rhodes at WrestleMania. Rhodes earned a rematch by winning the King of the Ring tournament, guaranteeing him a world title match at SummerSlam. Cena tried to talk his way out of the match, but Rhodes forced him to sign with an added street fight stipulation. The rivals have one last chance to speak with each other before the weekend’s big match.
Three matches are set for the night before SummerSlam. Damian Priest and Aleister Black collide after growing tension, Jimmy Uso wrestles Talla Tonga — Solo Sikoa’s new insurance policy — and Zelina Vega tries to win back the women’s United States title from Giulia.
CBS Sports is with you all night with recaps and highlights of all the action from Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
