WWE Raw Summary and Highlights
Cody Rhodes – John Cena
The 16-time WWE World Champion, John Cena, entered the ring as the London crowd unleashed with “John Cena Sucks!” chants. Cena grabbed the mic, but before he could, Cody Rhodes’ music hit and the American Nightmare was here! The O2 Arena erupted as Cody made his way to the ring, with the crowd still singing his song even after the music cut off.
Rhodes took the mic and came face-to-face with Cena, the “Cody, Cody Rhodes” chants shaking the arena. He told Cena he’d listened to him talk for two weeks, but now it was his turn. Cody mocked Cena’s past insults, even poking fun at himself and his “Stardust” days.
Cody then reminded that Cena would be facing ‘Stardust’ at his final WrestleMania, he then taunted Cena about how ‘Superman was really dead’. As “Let’s go Cena, Cena sucks” echoed through the arena, Cody called Cena out for lying to the fans, and the “You sold out!” chants rang loud. Cena fired back, saying he wouldn’t “punch down” to Cody’s level.
Cena claimed Cody was protected for too long, and now it was time for him to bury Rhodes like he had buried everyone else. Cena tore into Rhodes, saying he didn’t bury talent, he was talent, and he buried mediocrity. He called Cody “underwhelming” and claimed that the crowd’s chants were nothing but a crutch for his “mediocre” act.
Cena said that Rhodes was too polished and rehearsed, playing to the crowd, while he had earned his success through hard work. The “Cody, Cody Rhodes” chants roared again as Cena laid into Rhodes, calling him a “16-year-old” still terrified of public speaking, and a “mediocre” talent who tricked the fans. Cena bragged about being the last true champion, saying he made empires for billionaires, while Rhodes just stole from their kids.
Cody shot back, saying Cena was the company’s creation and that the crowd had chosen him, not Cena. He reminded Cena that the guy who chose him wasn’t even in the office anymore. Rhodes then fired off, saying Cena still hung around Zac Efron and wished he was 16, while he himself was never afraid to speak the truth.
Rhodes threw a final shot at Cena, saying Cena didn’t leave WWE better than he found it and asked, “Who sold out to The Rock?” Cody admitted Cena was still his hero, but called him a “piece of sh*t”, and the crowd followed suit with “piece of sh*t” chants. Cena snapped, claiming he had worked harder than Cody and had never been given the same protection.
Cena declared he didn’t leave because no one else was worthy to carry the company, and he was always here, despite the garbage WWE handed him. He said he built empires for billionaires, while Cody only took from their kids.
Cena tried to leave, but Cody stopped him, reminding Cena that no crowd had ever chanted “You can’t wrestle” at him. As the crowd chanted it, Cena stepped back into the ring, and the tension was palpable. The two were face-to-face, ready to explode, until Cena turned around to throw a cheap shot.
But Cody was ready, catching Cena and hitting a devastating Cross Rhodes, leaving Cena flat on the mat as the crowd roared with “Cody, Cody Rhodes” chants. Cody tossed the “Last time is now” towel on Cena and posed with the title, marking his territory as the future of WWE.

Now, Gunther turned his focus to Jimmy, throwing him violently into the barricade. The Ring General laughed at Jey, who was helplessly trying to break free, and mocked him further. Jey yelled that he would beat Gunther, but the Champion remained unmoved.
As Jimmy tried to get back into the ring, Gunther took him down once again with the title. Gunther mocked Jey some more as Jimmy struggled to get to his feet. Turning his attention back to Big Jim, Gunther delivered another brutal powerbomb on the mat, while Jey, still zip-tied, helplessly tried to break free.

Finally, security and officials rushed in, pleading with Gunther to break the hold. Adam Pearce stormed into the ring, furious as he yelled at Gunther who was covered in Jimmy’s blood as he flaunted the title with a sadistic grin.

However, Pearce disagreed, saying there was no one better to compete next week than El Grande Americano. Gable tried to plead his case, but Pearce stood firm.

Logan stated that he forgave Styles for what happened in Madison Square Garden, but he had not forgotten and warned Styles not to try that again. Styles mentioned that he had a daughter too and could relate. He forgave Paul, which left Paul confused as he asked what he was being forgiven for.
Styles fired back, saying he had forgiven Paul for being the “biggest douchebag in WWE”. He then pointed out that while Logan had all the talent, it would only get him so far unless he figured out what he truly wanted to do with it. Styles and Logan continued to exchange words, and Styles revealed that he had his gear on, standing in the middle of the ring.
