Undisputed WWE Championship Match: John Cena (c) vs. Cody Rhodes

For half a year at this point, Cody Rhodes has been trying to climb the mountain to meet John Cena at the top. After a crushing defeat to Cena, who secured his record-breaking 17th world title, Rhodes has been on the redemption road trying to restore WWE’s honor, as well as winning back his most prized possession, the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Rhodes would pin John Cena at Money in the Bank, then go on to become King of the Ring by defeating his longtime friend and mentor Randy Orton. The “American Nightmare” is on his way to being undeniable once again. Of course, it’s not that easy.

Standing in front of him is, arguably, the “Greatest of All-Time.” John Cena’s reign of terror saw him defeat the likes of Orton, CM Punk, R-Truth, and, of course, Cody Rhodes to kick things off. Cena is determined to hold on to the title and claim the moniker of “Last Real Champion,” once his retirement tour is over.

What Cena doesn’t know is that the Rhodes from WrestleMania 41 isn’t the same Cody Rhodes now. Cody has the biggest chip on his shoulder, evidenced by his willingness to exact punishment on Cena to make their SummerSlam match official on SmackDown.

If it’s not clear, then it is now; Cody Rhodes will stop at nothing to become Undisputed WWE Champion once again, and he’s challenging the “real John Cena” to put up or shut up in their Street Fight this Sunday night. A rematch for the ages, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Undisputed WWE Championship Street Fight to main event night two of WWE SummerSlam 2025!

Prediction: John Cena

WWE Women’s World Championship Match – Triple Threat: Naomi (c) vs. Rhea Ripley vs. IYO SKY

Talk about the right place and the right time. Naomi saw the opportunity at WWE Evolution 2025. She took it, stunning the professional wrestling industry by claiming the WWE Women’s World Championship from former champions IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley by cashing in Money in the Bank.

Naomi was cold and calculated, and she said it herself, she warned everyone to “proceed with caution,” but they didn’t, and now she’s Women’s World Champion, and she’s only getting started. Rhea Ripley did not like that one bit, stating that Naomi made it onto her list by ruining her plans of becoming champion after getting the short end of the stick all year.

IYO SKY would also stake her claim, saying that Ripley should get in the back of the line since, as the former champion, she’s owed a rematch. Of course, WWE gave the fans what they wanted, setting up a three-way dance between champion Naomi, IYO SKY, and Rhea Ripley. Three of the baddest women in professional wrestling collide on night two of WWE SummerSlam!

Naomi has the momentum, IYO SKY has the experience, while Rhea Ripley has the motivation, but there can only be one. Who will it be?

Prediction: Naomi
