With John Cena set to defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam, a potential high-stakes stipulation is being explored to prevent a controversial outcome. Given Cena’s established heel tactics since his return, there is consideration for a rule where if any outside party interferes on his behalf, he would be stripped of the championship.
This measure would be designed to neutralize potential interference from allies like Travis Scott, who played a role in Cena’s victory at WrestleMania 41.
The use of such a stipulation is not without precedent in WWE. A similar condition was imposed during the championship match between The Rock and CM Punk at Elimination Chamber in 2013 to prevent The Shield from getting involved.
Adding this rule would significantly raise the tension for the main event, forcing Cena to defend his record-setting 17th world title without the underhanded methods that have defined his final run. This angle, however, remains entirely speculative and has not been confirmed by WWE officials.
