Current Plans For Cody Rhodes At WWE SummerSlam 2024
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will put his title on the line at SummerSlam 2024 against an opponent he is very familiar with, it has been reported.
Since finishing the story at WrestleMania 40, Rhodes has proven to be a fighting champion, having already retained against AJ Styles twice at Premium Live Events. Rhodes also retained against Logan Paul at WWE King And Queen Of The Ring in a match that didn't see Paul's U.S. title on the line.
WWE's current plan for SummerSlam 2024 is for Rhodes to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Solo Sikoa, Dave Meltzer reports. It is believed that this will be the main event of the event.
Rhodes and Sikoa are hardly strangers as it was the American Nightmare who handed Sikoa his televised first loss on WWE's main roster. Mere days later, Sikoa got his revenge by costing Rhodes in his WrestleMania 39 main event against then-Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
The two recently crossed paths at WWE Clash At The Castle: Scotland, where Rhodes retained against AJ Styles in an I-Quit match. A post-match attack by Sikoa and the Bloodline was cut short by Kevin Owens and Randy Orton, the latter of whom clearly had an interest in Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Championship.
SummerSlam 2024 will take place at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio. News of the event's location was shared on Logan Paul's ImPaulsive podcast and as pointed out at the time, the show will mark the first time that SummerSlam has taken place in Cleveland since 1996. Other WWE events hosted in Cleveland include No Mercy 1999, Survivor Series 2004, Unforgiven 2008, and WWE TLC 2014.
