The second main event for SummerSlam was announced last
night on Smackdown and much to the surprise of no one it
will feature CM Punk defending the WWE Championship against
Cody Rhodes.
The match was set up during the opening segment of the show,
with Rhodes interrupting the new champion after Punk said he
would defend against anyone.
The last time the two were in the ring together the night
after WrestleMania 42, Cody Rhodes told Punk to just “say
when” and this time, the roles were reversed, with Cody
choosing SummerSlam.
And just like that, the highly-anticipated Punk vs Rhodes
match was booked for SummerSlam, and with tickets selling
badly, or rather, not selling, WWE is hoping that big
matches like this one will move the needle.
