At WWE Money in the Bank 2025, Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso got a modicum of revenge on John Cena and Logan Paul. So, too, did R-Truth.
In his first match since WrestleMania 41, Rhodes defeated WWE’s ultimate-yet-unlikely heel duo when he planted with a Cross Rhodes finisher in front of a raucous crowd inside the Intuit Dome after R-Truth made his shocking return to WWE. While that wasn’t exactly bull-blown revolution after Rhodes’ WWE title loss to Cena two months ago, it was perhaps a small taste of things to come.
And of course, it was an incredible moment for Truth, who had reportedly parted ways with WWE only to show up in Inglewood amid major fan backlash to his apparently short-lived departure.
A rare bout pitting WWE’s two world champions on opposing sides, Rhodes and Uso were the overwhelming crowd favorites in Los Angeles, and once Truth showed up, you just knew that the babyfaces were going to end the show on a high note.
After the way Cena vs. Rhodes had been booked heading into Money in the Bank, it was necessary for Rhodes and Uso to pick up a pivotal win. Yet, no one expected Truth to play such a key role in that win.
Rhodes appears to be back in contention for Cena’s WWE Championship while Uso will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against former champion Gunther on this week’s Raw.
WWE Money in The Bank 2025 Results For John Cena and Logan Paul vs. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso
WWE once planned for this match to feature rapper Travis Scott in either tag team or six-man action before the global star reportedly got cold feet.
As it turns out, that was the right call. Paul and Cena made for quite the villainous duo, giving fans a fantastic performance against Uso and Rhodes that started off slow but got red hot by the conclusion of Money in the Bank. Among the biggest highlights of the match were: Paul’s amazing springboard moonsault through the announce table, Truth’s unforgettable return and Rhodes pinning Cena.
What began as a slow and somewhat boring match really picked up about halfway through when Cena and Paul began to have some miscommunication. That paved the way for Cena and Uso to get back on track and for Truth to show up and save the day.
Now, Rhodes can say that he pinned Cena, Cena can say that he beat Rhodes, and Cena will potentially have both Truth and Rhodes to deal with in the weeks ahead.
Best Booking For John Cena And Cody Rhodes After WWE Money in the Bank 2025
John Cena Vs. Cody Rhodes At WWE Night of Champions 2025
In just three weeks, WWE will return to Saudi Arabia for Night of Champions, where traditionally all WWE titles are defended.
The question is: Does WWE really want to do Rhodes vs. Cena II in Saudia Arabia? Well, that isn’t as far-fetched as it might sound. WWE, after all, is reportedly considering hosting WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia at some point, possibly with a rebranding of “Super WrestleMania.”
With WWE potentially bringing its biggest show of the year to Saudi Arabia, don’t be surprised if Cena vs. Rhodes II takes place there too after Rhodes pinned Cena at WWE Money in the Bank 2025.
John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes at WWE SummerSlam 2025
The other top option for a second Cena vs. Rhodes match is WWE SummerSlam 2025, which will be a two-night event for the first time in history.
SummerSlam is arguably WWE’s second biggest pay-per-view outside of WrestleMania, making it the ideal stage for a match of great magnitude like Cena vs. Rhodes is. Given what transpired at WWE Money in the Bank, a Cena vs. Rhodes rematch is all but a certainty, perhaps with Truth involved in some capacity.
It’s a popular theory that Rhodes will ultimately win the WWE title back from Cena. While SummerSlam 2025 would be a fantastic fit for that title rematch, it’s unlikely that WWE will be able to extend the feud that long without it getting too boring. The Cena vs. Rhodes feud hasn’t really clicked so far, and their WrestleMania 41 was underwhelming too.
While they had a better performance at WWE Money in the Bank 2025, Night of Champions is much closer and therefore a much likelier option than SummerSlam for their expected rematch.
Best Booking For Jey Uso After WWE Money in the Bank 2025
Sami Zayn Costs Jey Uso the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on Raw
Uso jumps right back into action in two nights when he defends his world title against Gunther, the man he beat to win the championship at WrestleMania, on Raw on Netflix.
Is it likely that Uso drops the title mere weeks after winning it? No. But there have been some subtle and obvious signs that Uso’s buddy Sami Zayn is going to turn on Uso in the near future. Zayn, of course, has never held a world title in WWE and has made it very clear that he wants to win a world championship for the first time.
After WWE Money in the Bank, Uso is reigniting his feud with Gunther, but he may actually be starting off a feud with Zayn. Whether Zayn costs Uso the world championship or attacks him afterward, a Zayn vs. Uso world title feud feels inevitable. It’s just a matter of when.
Goldberg Attacks Gunther, Helps Jey Uso Retain World Heavyweight Championship
If Uso does retain his WWE World title on Raw as expected, one possible way to accomplish that is by getting some help from WWE legend Goldberg.
Yes, Goldberg is expected to return soon to kick off his retirement run, which reportedly could take place next month in Atlanta. Goldberg’s likeliest retirement match opponent is none other than Goldberg, which might explain why WWE is booking Uso vs. Gunther on Raw in the first place.
The scenario is an easy one to envision and to book: Goldberg returns toward the end of the match, costs Gunther the bout and the world title, and then, the two stars build toward a retirement match next month.
After Uso’s big win alongside Rhodes at WWE Money in the Bank 2025, his momentum is soaring, and he’ll likely get a big assist from Goldberg to keep it going on Raw on Netflix.
