The new Undisputed Champion to appear live and more has been announced for the August 8 WWE SmackDown, which will continue to focus on the fallout from the first-ever 2-night SummerSlam.
The main event of SummerSlam night 2 saw Cody Rhodes defeat John Cena in a street fight to win back the WWE Championship and bring Cena’s record-breaking 17th reign to an end. The American Nightmare will appear live on SmackDown with his newly won championship to address his victory and what’s next for him now that he is once again the top star on the blue brand.
Additionally, John Cena will appear live in what will be the latest stop on his retirement tour. Now that Cena is no longer the WWE Champion, the Hollywood star will address the remainder of his farewell appearances in WWE. It should be noted that a returning Brock Lesnar attacked Cena to close out SummerSlam, which is likely to be addressed on the show. At the time of writing, Brock Lesnar is not advertised to appear on SmackDown.
While not announced, it is likely that more matches for Clash in Paris on August 31 will be announced given that the show is only a couple of weeks away.
The Following Has Been Announced For The August 8 WWE SmackDown:
- John Cena to appear live
