10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 2013 Facts
4. Cena Pushed For The Match With Bryan
WWE could release a DVD of just John Cena's SummerSlam matches against wrestlers who were once indy darlings. The bouts with Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins, and AJ Styles makes a helluva set. Such talents get the most out of Cena, and to be fair, Cena gets some of the best matches out of those world-class performers. Because he is one himself.
Cena, not being blind or stupid, recognized Bryan's value as a possible main event player. It was Bryan who revealed that Cena pushed to wrestle him at Money in the Bank 2013, telling Vince that he felt, "it was the biggest match WWE had at the time."
McMahon apparently felt that if Cena was so sure that the match was monumental, then they needed to do it at SummerSlam instead. And that's how some wrestlers use their clout and pull for the greater good.
