SummerSlam 2025 ended with John Cena and Cody Rhodes in a spectacular match for the Undisputed WWE Championship, and a surprise emerged at the end.

At one point, Cena came up through the elevator shaft on the entrance way with Rhodes on his shoulders and walked him back to the ring. That exhausted him enough for Rhodes to take advantage. He removed a bottom turnbuckle and blasted him over the head with the steel piece.
