John Cena and Cody Rhodes Set for WWE SmackDown Return Ahead of Money in the Bank

WWE’s May 30 edition of SmackDown just got even bigger—John Cena and Cody Rhodes are both heading to the blue brand this Friday.

WWE confirmed that the Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena and former champ Cody Rhodes will both appear live on SmackDown, just over a week before they collide in tag team action at WWE Money in the Bank. Rhodes is currently set to team with Jey Uso in a blockbuster tag match against Cena and Logan Paul.

The announcement immediately fired up fans across social media, with many speculating on what kind of confrontation might go down between Cena and Rhodes before they square off.

Along with Cena and Rhodes’ appearances, the May 30 show will feature two major qualifying matches for the Money in the Bank ladder bouts. On the women’s side, Nia Jax, Naomi, and Jade Cargill will face off in a triple threat. The men’s qualifier will see Carmelo Hayes, Jacob Fatu, and Andrade go to war for a briefcase opportunity.

Plus, WWE confirmed that “Bianca Belair returns” on this episode—though they’re keeping details about her segment tightly under wraps.

With major stars appearing and Money in the Bank spots on the line, this Friday’s SmackDown could shape the entire summer for WWE.
