Aug 19, 2017 at 1:35 PM
John Cena was unable to win the number one contender’s spot for the WWE Championship. He was pinned by the new contender, Shinsuke Nakamura in a clean way. The latter one emerged victorious in a contest that was promoted as the dream match.
Despite the loss, Cena is the franchise player of the company and hence quite expectedly pitted in another contest. Once the match between Cena and Nakamura concluded, Baron Corbin tried to deliver a sneak attack on the latter one. But, it was Cena who turned out to be the saviour by putting Corbin through the table.
It set up the match between John Cena and Baron Corbin at the biggest event of the summer. With some altercations on the social media, the feud between these two has already heated up. Nikki Bella also entered the equation via comment exchange on Twitter to get the fans involved more to it.
Now, in case you don’t know, John Cena had picked up a knack for losing matches at Summerslam. He has a record of losing six straight matches at the biggest stage of the year. Last time, he won a game at this particular event was in 2010.
For the rest of the years, his record is as follows,
Loss against CM Punk in 2011 (WWE Championship match)
Loss against CM Punk and Big Show in 2012 (WWE Championship match)
Loss against Daniel Bryan in 2013 (WWE Championship match)
Loss against Brock Lesnar in 2014 (WWE Championship match)
Loss against Seth Rollins in 2015 (WWE and United States Championship match)
Loss against AJ Styles in 2016
According to the reports of wrestlingINC.com, this losing streak of John Cena will finally be over at this year’s Summerslam. He will come out victorious against Baron Corbin. If Nikki does stay in his corner, then she might turn out to be a help for him.
The reports also suggest that Cena will be moving to Raw once Summerslam gets concluded. He will have Samoa Joe as his next opponent on the flagship brand. So, before facing Joe in a dream match, he will gain some momentum by defeating the Lone Wolf.
