Will John Cena & Cody Rhodes appear on WWE SmackDown tonight (August 8, 2025)?

Tonight’s episode of SmackDown will emanate from Montreal!

The 2025 edition of WWE SummerSlam concluded this past weekend and edged its place in the history books being the biggest and the first-ever two-night SummerSlam, a format previously reserved only for WrestleMania.

In the main event of Night 2 of the show, John Cena defended the WWE Championship in a street fight against Cody Rhodes. In contrast to their clash at WrestleMania 41, the street fight saw both men push each other to the limit.

However, in the end, Rhodes managed to land two back-to-back Cross Rhodes to pin the 17-time WWE World Champion and regain the title.

Tonight, WWE will deliver the fallout show of Friday Night SmackDown. The fallout show of the Blue brand is set to air live from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Will John Cena & Cody Rhodes appear on WWE SmackDown tonight?

Yes, both John Cena and Cody Rhodes will make an appearance on WWE SmackDown tonight. The two stars are advertised for an appearance on tonight’s show and will likely engage in new storylines.

New challengers will likely rise to stake claim and get a shot at the current Champion, names like Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton are likely to confront Rhodes and kick off a feud which could end in a title clash at the upcoming PLEs.

On the other hand, John Cena, after losing the title in the main event, was attacked by a returning Brock Lesnar, who made his return after two years and took out the former Champion with a vicious F5.

With few dates currently left on John Cena’s retirement tour, tonight’s appearance will likely be used to build towards the reignited feud, which might culminate in a clash between the two veterans.
