Cody Rhodes Defeats John Cena in SummerSlam Street Fight to Regain Title – Cody Rhodes closed out Night Two of WWE SummerSlam by reclaiming the Undisputed WWE Championship in a dramatic Street Fight against John Cena. The high-stakes main event delivered a relentless war of attrition, loaded with brutal spots, emotional callbacks, and a flurry of near-finishes.
The match began as a hard-hitting, evenly matched contest, with both men pulling out all the stops. Steel chairs, kendo sticks, and the ringside environment came into play early, setting the tone for a chaotic brawl. The intensity built steadily until the final stretch, which turned into a sequence of escalating signature moves.
Late in the bout, Rhodes gained the upper hand by landing three consecutive Cross Rhodes on Cena. It seemed like the end, but the 17-time world champion dug deep and kicked out to the crowd’s amazement, living up to his “Super Cena” moniker once again. Cena then shifted momentum in his favor, delivering three straight Attitude Adjustments to Rhodes. This time, Rhodes showcased his resilience, kicking out at the last possible moment.
Ultimately, Rhodes sealed the victory with one final Cross Rhodes, pinning Cena to regain the title he lost earlier this summer. This win not only marked the redemption arc for Rhodes but also served as a defining moment in his ongoing main-event run.
After the bell, Cena stood tall in the ring with Rhodes, offering a handshake and a few words of respect to the new champion. The emotional scene was short-lived, however, as Brock Lesnar made a shocking return, interrupting the post-match celebration.
This is the second reign as Undisputed WWE Champion for Rhodes. Cena’s reign ends at 106 days. He made two successful title defenses.
