“4x champ or 4 people or 4 horsemen….. ??? @CodyRhodes are you thinking what I’m thinking 👀,” she wrote.

Sami Zayn defeated Cody Rhodes and Gunther at Night of Champions 2026 to capture the title. He was supposed to defend the title against Rhodes nine days later on RAW, but Gunther attacked the former AEW star before the match.

CM Punk returned as Rhodes’ replacement and defeated Zayn to become champion. Finn Balor won a Fatal 4-Way match on SmackDown and will be facing Sami Zayn at SummerSlam to determine the number one contender for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Cody Rhodes gets into confrontation with major WWE star on SmackDown

Damian Priest and Cody Rhodes had a heated backstage confrontation during this past Friday’s edition of SmackDown.

Priest told Rhodes that the majority of the locker room was tired of seeing the same stars at the top of the card. The Archer of Infamy claimed that he was going to take the title from either Rhodes or Punk down the line.

“Not surprised you said that [Rhodes claiming he would be champion at the end of SummerSlam]. You know I respect you. And I have respect for [CM] Punk. But me, matter of fact, the boys, we’re sick of the same people being the faces of this brand. I’m gonna be the number one contender. Whether it’s you or Punk, whoever stands as champion after SummerSlam gets dropped. End of story,” Priest said.

It will be fascinating to see if Rhodes can defeat Punk at SummerSlam to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship once again.
