One of the potential endings could see an unexpected return of The Rock, who could interfere in this match and cost the former Undisputed WWE Champion. The distraction would to Jey emerging as the winner.

Additionally, WWE could set up Rhodes vs. The Final Boss dream match at SummerSlam 2025. While WWE has previously hinted at this match, it's yet to unfold.

#4. The American Nightmare might beat Jey Uso clean

Cody Rhodes is someone who has won against beasts like Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns in the past. In fact, he ended the Original Tribal Chief's historic title reign. Considering this, it will not be a surprise if Rhodes manages to beat Jey Uso clean on the red brand.

The Samoan star would indeed give tough competition to Cody, but the former Undisputed WWE Champion might somehow manage to get over Uso to secure his spot and advance to the final of the tournament.

#3. The YEET Master might shock the WWE Universe

Jey Uso is a former World Heavyweight Champion and is on a road to redemption to get his title back. Gunther dethroned him, and if Jey manages to win the tournament, he will get a rematch against The Ring General at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

However, this would only be possible if Gunther can beat Goldberg at Saturday Night's Main Event. So, if WWE has plans to set a rematch between Jey and Gunther at SummerSlam, the former Royal Rumble winner may shock the world by defeating Cody Rhodes on the red brand.

#2. The Franchise Player may screw Cody Rhodes again

Cody Rhodes and John Cena's rivalry is still far from finished. The Cenation Leader turned heel and took the Undisputed WWE Title from Dusty's son. Rhodes is now attempting to get the gold back by winning the tournament and facing the 17-time world champion at SummerSlam.

Cena surely does not want to face Cody again due to the risk of losing his title. This is why the Last Real Champion may show up this Monday night to screw Rhodes on RAW, leading to a Jey Uso victory.

#1. The Rock’s next Corporate Champion, Drew McIntyre, costs Cody Rhodes

Drew McIntyre is currently absent from WWE. The Scottish Warrior was ruled out of WWE television due to real-life health issues he was suffering from. McIntyre has done some work in collaboration with The Rock sometime back, which raises the chance of the Scotsman being the next 'Corporate Champion' for The Final Boss.

So, if the Stamford-based promotion wants to introduce Drew as the next associate of The People's Champion, tonight's WWE RAW could be a great opportunity. McIntyre returns and costs Cody Rhodes the spot in the final of the King of the Ring Tournament, setting up a match at SummerSlam where Drew defeats The American Nightmare and solidifies his role as The Rock's champion.
