12 Best WWE Title Changes At SummerSlam
12. WWE United States Championship (2015): John Cena (c) Vs. Seth Rollins
When John Cena and Seth Rollins squared off at
SummerSlam in 2015, both men were title-holders, but that was where the
similarities ended.
Cena was the United States Champion, defending his title on a weekly basis in what often was the best match on Raw. Rollins, by contrast, was a chickens*** WWE World Heavyweight Champion who held onto his title by hook or by crook.
Both titles were up for grabs at SummerSlam in a match that was destined to make history: no man had ever held both titles simultaneously. But in addition to that first-ever moment, the Cena/Rollins match was notable for another reason: It featured the physical prowess of a chair-wielding Jon Stewart, who dropped Cena with a shot, helping Rollins become the first World/U.S. champ.
In the end, Rollins’ reign as a dual champ would only last a month, but he still made WWE history and got a sweet bronze statue out of the deal… that is, until Sting stole and destroyed it.
