Cody Rhodes' Perfect WWE SummerSlam Opponent Isn't Roman Reigns
It seems inevitable that Cody Rhodes will collide with Roman Reigns on his quest to finally win the WWE World Championship, but there's another essential name that the «American Nightmare» must prove himself against before he's ready. Despite winning back-to-back victories over Seth Rollins at both WrestleMania 38 and WrestleMania Backlash, Cody is officially slotted in to face Rollins once more—this time inside the confines of WWE's most brutal match type, Hell in a Cell. Given Rhodes' penchant for bloodying his signature, platinum blonde hair in big marquee matches, his finale with Rollins is likely to be a gruesome show-stealer when the two collide on Sunday, June 5 at WWE's eponymous Hell in a Cell event.
Assuming Cody Rhodes is able to move on from Seth Rollins after their next encounter, the immediate focus will be on WWE's July Money in the Bank special. Cody is all over the branding for the show, so a featured spot in the annual Money in the Bank ladder match is likely. The build to that show generally stands on its own, however, with each qualifying competitor focused on taking home the coveted Money in the Bank briefcase. Keeping that in mind, it's likely that Cody's next major singles rivalry will culminate with an important match on July 30 at SummerSlam, and there's one important name that would be perfect as Cody Rhodes' SummerSlam opponent: the 16-time world champion John Cena.
