10 HUGE WWE SummerSlam 2021 Predictions You Need To Know
1. Roman Reigns (c) Vs. John Cena
Hopefully, WWE's reasons for revisiting the worked shoot energy of John Cena's 2017 feud with Roman Reigns will be revealed when the company's two biggest stars finally go nose to nose on this year's biggest stage.
As well as flogging truckloads of t-shirts and tickets during the "Summer Of Cena", 'The Champ' has managed to get over a "1-2-3" catchphrase designed to highlight how straightforward a victory over 'The Head Of The Table' could be. Is the character supposed to be as detached and thick as f*ck as this?
Again, hopefully so. Hopefully Reigns monsters Cena at SummerSlam in match not dissimilar to the one another of Paul Heyman's clients had with him seven years ago. 'Big Match John' is still speaking to Reigns as if he's an uncertain and unproven topliner, rather than the guy that has battered every opponent in his path since his 2020 return. This needs not to be a gaining of respect, but a reckoning far more deadly than Roman's other victories and ideally as dominant as Brock Lesnar's iconic 2014 win.
And if it's not that, the "non-response" to CM Punk's AEW debut will be the ultimate in self-sabotage. Cena becoming Universal Champion wouldn't just be kiss goodbye from the the new Champion to his fans, but to a year's worth of painfully hard work. There can be no other outcome.
Winner - Roman Reigns
