In a night packed with drama, action, and unexpected twists, WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event saw the much-awaited return of Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare made a thunderous comeback, targeting none other than John Cena and altering the trajectory of WWE’s upcoming Money in the Bank 2025 premium live event.
Cody Rhodes returns just in time
Rhodes had been off WWE television since his heartbreaking title loss to John Cena at WrestleMania 41. His absence had sparked questions about his future, but all speculation was put to rest when "The American Nightmare" stormed into the ring at Tampa’s Yuengling Center, landing a decisive Cross Rhodes on Cena.
Moments earlier, Cena had interfered in Jey Uso’s World Heavyweight Championship match against Logan Paul, nearly costing Uso the title. But thanks to Rhodes' timely intervention, Uso recovered and pinned Paul after delivering a spear - retaining his championship in a dramatic finish.
Following the chaos, Rhodes grabbed a microphone and issued a challenge that electrified the crowd: Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso vs. John Cena and Logan Paul at Money in the Bank 2025. The high-profile tag match adds major star power to the premium live event, which is already building up as one of the year’s most anticipated shows.
While unconfirmed, rumours suggest Travis Scott may also play a role in the event, possibly aligning with Cena and Paul.
Adding to the moment, Brandi Rhodes took to X (formerly Twitter) after her husband’s return, writing, “Sometimes you just need a minute away for target practice. That's enough for a true champ. Now let’s go.” The comment has sparked fresh excitement among fans, hinting that Cody may be on a warpath for redemption.
John Cena’s heel turn continues to draw attention, especially now that he seems to be aligning with Logan Paul. Critics have noted Paul’s act was starting to grow stale, but his association with Cena could inject new life into his WWE run. Cena’s presence also adds much-needed depth to Paul’s character, especially after recent flat performances.
For Rhodes, this return is more than just payback - it’s an opportunity to re-establish himself at the top of WWE’s hierarchy. And for fans, the Money in the Bank tag match is shaping up to be a main event showdown filled with personal stakes, unresolved rivalries, and explosive star power.
As the road to Money in the Bank heats up, all eyes will be on these four megastars - and possibly more.
