One day after SmackDown, Cody Rhodes took to Twitter and posed a question to his adoring fans and asked a very intriguing question. He wrote:

“What’s a good song for this moment? Took a lot to make it happen. 3 weeks away! @usbankstadium”

Rhodes is known for being very cinematic in the buildup to his fights. So, it will be interesting to see which song he comes up with and what suggestions he is taking.

TKO reacts to Cody Rhodes and CM Punk confrontation

Cody Rhodes and CM Punk brought the whole wrestling world to a standstill as the two of them came face to face on SmackDown. It was immediately after the confrontation that their match at SummerSlam was made official.

A lot of fans were eagerly waiting for the match between the American Nightmare and the Second City Saint for a long time. So when their match for SummerSlam was finally made official, TKO, which owns WWE, also reacted in the same way that the fans would.

Commenting on a video between Cody and Punk, TKO’s instagram account commented with a shocked emoji. It is very unusual to see the owners comment on a match announcement, but it just goes to show how much fervor this rivalry has.

Both CM Punk and Cody Rhodes have long been rumored to take on each other, but it did not come to fruition until now. SummerSlam 2026 is going to be a blockbuster show.
