WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins (c) vs. John Cena
So what’s going to be the build-up for the main event? I think after last week on Monday Night Raw, it looks to be obvious that we’ll see champion vs. champion as World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins will take on WWE United States Champion John Cena.
Ultimately this is a match that I like if neither superstar held championship gold.
Rollins is a great WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Rollins though needs to establish himself better as a legitimate champions which should happen now against John Cena, who is chasing Ric Flair’s record 16 world heavyweight titles.
In the words of Kevin Owens, John Cena’s time is way up and I find it hard to believe that he beats Seth Rollins at SummerSlam. It should be a terrific match and there should be no implications of the United States Championship being on the line. So in September, we should see the return of the United States Championship Open Challenge for Monday Night Raw.
What should we expect for this match at SummerSlam?
I’d say we’ll see the finishing moves for both Cena and Rollins, a lot of counters, high-spots to the outside of the ring and John Cena doing what he does in every match — leg drop off the top rope and the five knuckle shuffle.
I don’t have our Money in the Bank winner Sheamus on the card and this could very well be where he makes his presence known if John Cena is close to winning the match. Also, I don’t think Sheamus holds onto his briefcase as long as Seth Rollins did last year so expect him to cash in the briefcase, sooner of later.
Without the alternate finish I predict that Rollins walks out of Brooklyn still our WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
