Cody Rhodes secured his place in the semi-finals of the 2025 King of the Ring tournament with a victory in a Fatal Four-Way match during the June 13 broadcast of WWE SmackDown. His advancement moves him one step closer to the final, with the winner of the tournament receiving a championship opportunity at SummerSlam.
The identity of his opponent for the semi-final round will be decided on WWE RAW. A qualifying match is scheduled between Jey Uso, Bronson Reed, Rusev, and Sheamus, with the victor advancing to face Rhodes later in the week on SmackDown.
A victory for Jey Uso in the qualifier would create a compelling semi-final contest, pitting him against his recent associate, Cody Rhodes. The two competitors would have to put their established alliance on hold for a chance to advance in the tournament.
