Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Championship is scheduled for Saturday Night's Main Event on December 14, 2024. The singles match puts two former friends in the ring to unload their frustrations with one another and make an attempt to leave with the gold.
However, WWE can add more excitement to the singles match by bringing in a special referee. It happens that WWE RAW is moving to Netflix, and several big names have been advertised for the debut show. One such name within the mix is 16-time World Champion John Cena.
Ahead of January 2025, the Stamford-based promotion can bring back The Champ to the WWE ring at Saturday Night's Main Event, especially since it's a big night for the company. However, instead of cutting a promo or working a match, Cena can be the Special Guest Referee for Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens.
As the Special Guest Referee, one can expect John Cena to be unbiased. However, The Prizefighter has recently claimed that several individuals are working against him. Keeping that in mind, once The American Nightmare secures the victory at Saturday Night's Main Event, Kevin Owens turns his wrath towards John Cena, accusing him of playing favorites.
The baseless accusation could spark a feud between The Champ and KO, establishing John Cena's first rivalry to kick off his retirement tour in January 2025.
The Champ was last seen on WWE TV 160 days ago at Money in the Bank 2024.
Cody Rhodes might bring back the 'Winged Eagle' at Saturday Night's Main Event
The American Nightmare has consistently worked to bring back the iconic 'Winged Eagle' belt. It was retired after WrestleMania 14, and Stone Cold Steve Austin was the last superstar to hold it.
The Undisputed WWE Champion has revealed that he would be thrilled if WWE brought the 'Winged Eagle' back for just one night only. That said, Triple H recently presented him with a mysterious gift but warned Cody Rhodes that it could be used for only one night.
Triple H may finally grant The American Nightmare his wish and allow him to wear the 'Winged Eagle' belt for Saturday Night's Main Event.
