WWE SummerSlam 2025 (August 3, 2025) Results: Cody Rhodes defeats GOAT John Cena in brutal Street Fight to win back Undisputed Champion title

The last match of SummerSlam 2025 is the biggest of them all - a Street Fight between John Cena and Cody Rhodes. Cena is the current WWE Undisputed Champion, after he won the title from Rhodes at WrestleMania earlier this year in April.

And now, almost four months since that fateful night in Las Vegas, these heavyweights are ready to face each other once again.

The crowd at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey is excited for this rematch to say the least, especially if Cena has turned Face after his heel run since the Elimination Chamber event. But will a Baby Face and honest Cena be enough to defeat Rhodes, without using any underhanded tactics? Or does the WWE have different tricks up its sleeves this time around? Let's get to it!

Cody Rhodes is the new Undisputed Champion of WWE

After winning the King of the Ring title at Night of Champions, it was a no-brainer that Cody Rhodes would come for the Undisputed Championship and John Cena.

And he is the first one out to the stage before his opponent comes in to loud cheers from the audience, who want to have the real Cena back. The fight is intense from the beginning, as anything goes in this Street Fight.

From Cena throwing the stairs at Rhodes to the latter using a Piledriver that almost finished Cena off, it was the best fight of the night. The two ran the match through the whole arena before Cena carried Rhodes out of the elevator, and hit an AA on Rhodes at the ramp.

Cross Rhodes to AAs to Avalanche AA, nothing seemed to be working tonight, as the two heavyweights looked equally matched. But with a last salute to his hero, the American Nightmare hits a Cross Rhodes to take the win.

John Cena passes on the torch to Cody Rhodes before a surprise entry

Was John Cena turning Baby Face during his last appearance on Friday Night SmackDown another ruse from the company or is Cena really going back to his roots? That had been the question on everyone's mind since the reigning Undisputed Champion claimed that he loved wrestling and would never think of ruining it for real.

The 17-time World Champion, the greatest of all time, John Cena has been the clear crowd favorite tonight. And each time Rhodes tried to pin Cena and he kicked out before the third count, the crowd visibly went absolutely crazy. But the night had to end, and Rhodes won it fair and square, and Cena still won the loudest cheer from the fans. The torch has been passed, without either Cena or Rhodes turning heel, and what a moment that was for wrestling fans everywhere.

The end, though, brought the biggest twist of them all - as after Rhodes finally left, leaving Cena at the center stage amid the fans, a wild card entry shook everyone. None other than the Beast Incarnate - Brock Lesnar came back to confront Cena and that's curtains on SummerSlam 2025.Also Read: WWE SummerSlam 2025 (August 3, 2025) Results: Becky Lynch retains Women's Intercontinental Championship title against Lyra Valkyria and a surprise attack by Bayley
