Arn Anderson has made a surprise appearance during WWE SummerSlam as part of Cody Rhodes' grand entrance. Cody Rhodes is walking into WWE SummerSlam with one of his biggest challenges as the Undisputed WWE Champion yet as he faces off against Solo Sikoa in a Bloodline Rules match. It's gotten even more intense as the weeks have rolled on as it was clear that while Cody was able to defeat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 earlier this year, he still has yet to free himself from the targeting of the Bloodline. But this time around he's got help from some major allies. 

Before the match even began, Cody was getting some help from some surprising faces. WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson made his return to the WWE as part of Cody's walk to the ring. Heading out to the match in an extended backstage segment, Cody passed by members of his team getting him ready. This included a returning Anderson, who was able to coach Cody ahead of the match one more time to remind him that while he's facing off against the Bloodline, he's got friends and family of his own.
