John Cena & Logan Paul Confront Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso on SmackDown – The May 30 episode of WWE SmackDown set the stage for Money in the Bank, as John Cena and Logan Paul confronted Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso, escalating tensions ahead of their anticipated tag team main event.
Initially billed as a one-on-one face-off between Cena and Rhodes, the segment took a surprising turn when Paul and Uso entered the mix. Rhodes first welcomed Uso, acknowledging his return after falling to Cena at WrestleMania 41. As Uso led the Knoxville crowd in an encore of his YEET celebration, Cena cut him off.
Cena declared that both Rhodes and Uso aspired to be like him but added that only one other man truly exemplifies hustle, loyalty, and respect—Logan Paul. Paul arrived, calling it a historic moment to team with Cena, while Cena further endorsed him, stating, “Logan Paul does WWE better than any professional wrestler.”
With emotions running high, Jey Uso showed no interest in waiting until June 7 for the fight. Rhodes fueled the confrontation with a jab at Paul, joking about him “shining John Cena’s Peacemaker.” A brawl ensued, concluding with the babyfaces standing tall.
As Cena continues his farewell tour ahead of his December retirement, this latest appearance marks another step toward his final in-ring matches. With 22 appearances remaining, fans eagerly anticipate what’s next for the legendary superstar.
