Cody Rhodes says John Cena passes the torch to him and so much more at SummerSlam in 2025

“John had a been a mentor to me for about 2 years. I drove John around. I’d sit by him when he’d get the call from Joe Hickey about the merch he sold that night. I’d listen to him talk about partners. I’d listen to him when he’d talk to the boss. We’d talk about wrestling ourselves. He’d talk about my match. He was just a true, real mentor.

He is such an evolved storyteller now and such a unique artisan from when he was just a wrestler. I really, really value the promos, the talking about them, the It was like being part of a TV series.

Just the king of preparation and taught me that if you’re going to wear the crown, you also have to be very, very, very prepared.

He didn’t just come back and say, ‘Hey, I used to drive this guy around. I trust that he’s the guy now.’ No, he put me through it. We didn’t have to get to SummerSlam. We got to SummerSlam because John Cena said it’s right to do this at SummerSlam and um that’s as real as it gets.

It felt like like a passing of the torch but it it also felt like a passing of the belt moment because I mean he’s literally handing me the title.

I won’t tell you what he said to me uh cuz I always wanted to keep that he obviously John likes to respect the business and uh I won’t say it, but I will tell you what I said to him was I told him I’m sorry it took me so long.”

Solo don't give a F*k about Tribal Combat's rule!

Can't believe nobody is talking about this. Brock Lesnar pulled out the Scott Steiner math last night. 😭

"One plus one... you're done, b***h!!"
"One plus one..."

The camera instantly cutting to Bron Breakker right after that was comedy gold.

That Mask vs Mask match reminded me of something.

If Rey Mysterio's retirement ends with Dominik defeating him in a Hair vs Mask match in AAA, I'm not sure any wrestling fan is making it through that segment without feeling something.

In WWE, it would be a huge moment.

In AAA, it becomes something else entirely.

The emotion, the tradition, the importance of the mask, and the fact that it's his own son standing across from him would make it one of the most powerful stories wrestling could ever tell.

It just hits differently in AAA.

The ROMAN REIGNS Effect:

• Jacob Fatu suddenly has a clear direction again, and somehow looks even more dangerous now that he’s operating under the Tribal Chief.

• Seth Rollins has a real target. Instead of spinning his wheels in random feuds, he’s focused on the biggest prize possible: taking down Roman Reigns.

• LA Knight is right back in the Bloodline orbit, which is exactly where he belongs if we’re being honest. Those stories bring out the best reactions, the biggest moments, and keep him firmly in the spotlight.

• Jey Uso now has the freedom to chase Cody Rhodes and the WWE Championship without being tied down by Bloodline drama every week.

One return.

Multiple storylines elevated.

Multiple stars given purpose.

OPEN YOUR EYES. LOOK AROUND.

CINEMA IS BACK. 🍿

notice the space between them 👀

Imagine being named one of the top three wrestlers in the world for four consecutive years—so highly regarded that Kenny Omega, one of the greatest wrestlers in the world and in history, says he would make you a star.

You choose to go to WWE because it's your dream, only to be treated like a jobber.

A nightmare for many. A reality for Giulia.

Roman Reigns, Jimmy, and Jacob were very serious during the acknowledge ceremony. But Jey Uso was just having fun.

Rhea Ripley got a new tattoo in Italy. Her grandparents names ❤️
