10 New Directions For WWE Champion Roman Reigns
5. Building Towards Cena At SummerSlam
WWE should start putting down the ground work now for a Roman Reigns / John Cena feud. It is a generational clash, the old franchise versus the new franchise. The long build, to get over how important is is, needs to start now.
The direction can be teased and teased, finally culminating in a match at SummerSlam 2016. It would be like Hulk Hogan versus The Ultimate Warrior for this generation. Would the fans boo both men and sabotage it? No, the crowd would be able to recognise it as a clash of big names. Both men generate some of the biggest reactions on the roster, positive or negative, they always have a big match feel to their work. It is money, hence a direction that WWE definitely need to move towards.
Plus, Reigns winning is the formal confirmation that he's the new franchise star.
