Jeff Jarrett Says Cody Rhodes Should Return In June Before Defeating John Cena At WWE SummerSlam

Jeff Jarrett predicts the path back for Cody Rhodes.

Following his loss to John Cena at WrestleMania 41, Cody Rhodes has not shown face on WWE programming, leaving many fans to believe that he is taking some well-deserved time off.

With his absence, fans are already started to speculate on a possible return for Rhodes and when it could happen. On the latest edition of his My World podcast, Jarrett predicted that Rhodes could return in June before facing Cena again at SummerSlam.

“Is Cena going to carry it through December? I doubt it. Where do they want the most views or streams if you will, I’m assuming SummerSlam. I would give Cody — We got the May premium live event and the June premium live event and then SummerSlam is July at MetLife. I’m talking out loud here, I think that’s the cadence. I think you bring him back for June on TV and he stakes his claim that I’m getting the title back and you’ve got to run one opponent in there that makes sense — we’ll call him the beatable heel that has some credibility. Cody wins that and then he wins at SummerSlam and we’re off to the races and you have a fourth quarter babyface run of Cena and they keep counting down the dates and they keep counting down the cash register with all the merch. He does his 10 to 12 week swan song on TV, but I think Cody, wherever TKO wants the most streams, you put him in that event and he is victorious.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Jarrett talked about his current standing in AEW and his recent feud with MJF. Check out his full comments here.
