The go-home "WWE SmackDown" before SummerSlam 2025 warmed up Newark with quite a surprise. Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena opened the night to set the table for his big rematch against Cody Rhodes, but instead of the Cena we've seen for most of 2025, he reverted to his iconic "Super Cena" ways.

Cody Rhodes is once again undisputed WWE champion. Rhodes outlasted John Cena in a lengthy, hard-fought SummerSlam Night 2 main event on Sunday to regain the championship he lost to Cena at WrestleMania. But it was Brock Lesnar's return to WWE after the main event that will be the main talking point for many.

Cody Rhodes defeated John Cena in a Street Fight in the main event of Night 2 of SummerSlam on Sunday to regain the Undisputed WWE Championship and avenge his loss at WrestleMania 41.
