It’s all there for WWE at SummerSlam when it comes to John Cena and Cody Rhodes, as it feels like they have left them the ability to pivot in whatever direction needed seamlessly.

There’s really no bad outcome here. Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky are both mega-over babyfaces that the crowd would love to see win the belt back, and Naomi is doing the best work of her entire career as the heel champion. You could tell a compelling story with any of these three winning the belt.
