Cody Rhodes is officially back, and he didnt waste time making his presence felt.
The WWE Saturday Nights Main Event special on May 24 at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida featured Jey Uso defending the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Logan Paul in the nights main eventbut the real shocker came when Cody Rhodes made his surprise return to WWE television.
As the match neared its climax, the referee was pulled from the ring by John Cena, who then ambushed Jey Uso with a beatdown in the middle of the ring. Just as Cena and Logan Paul looked to steal the win, Codys music hit to a thunderous reaction. Rhodes stormed the ring, hit Cena with a Crossroads, and tossed him out, clearing the way for Jey Uso to nail a spear and frog splash on Logan Paul for the win.
This was Codys first appearance since WrestleMania 41, where he lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cena. After the match, Rhodes grabbed a mic and made his message crystal clear: John, Logan well see you at Money in the Bank. He then confirmed that he and Jey Uso would team up at the June 7 Premium Live Event in Los Angeles.
Codys return was long expected. WWE sources had already indicated that Rhodes would be back before Money in the Bank and would once again be a central figure on WWE television all summer long. With his return now official, and a new feud forming with Cena and Logan Paul, the American Nightmares next chapter is off to a fiery start.
