WWE Keeping Cena vs. Cody Finish Complete Secret — Are We Hours Away from the Biggest Swerve in SummerSlam History?
With just hours until the Night Two main event of SummerSlam 2025, WWE is playing this one extremely close to the vest. A new report confirms that the finish to Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena — and the entire creative direction surrounding it — is being kept a total secret, even from much of the internal team.
According to Fightful Select, the result and “general happenings” of the match are under a strict need-to-know-only lockdown. Writers and producers have allegedly been intentionally left in the dark about key plot points and potential twists. As of Sunday morning, even staff hadn’t been told whether The Rock will appear.
The silence is deafening — especially considering the massive tonal shift on this past Friday’s SmackDown, where John Cena seemingly returned to his babyface roots after months of villainy. That appearance came just one day after Wrestling.News ran the bold prediction:

In that piece, we questioned whether Cena’s smile was genuine — or the calm before a thunderous betrayal. Now, WWE’s unusual secrecy only throws more fuel on the fire.
All of this follows the jaw-dropping twist from SummerSlam Night One, where Seth Rollins revealed his injury was a work and cashed in Money in the Bank to steal the World Heavyweight Title from CM Punk. That moment set a high bar for Sunday’s main event — and expectations are now off the charts.

The real story isn’t just that WWE is keeping secrets — it’s what they’re hiding. The company wants speculation. They want us second-guessing Cena’s alignment and wondering if The Rock will walk through that curtain. And based on internal buzz, it seems WWE is preparing for a moment that rivals or exceeds Saturday’s cash-in shocker.
Whether it’s Cena turning again, The Rock showing up, or Cody getting robbed, fans might be witnessing the most unpredictable main event since WrestleMania 17.
