10 SummerSlam Matches That Almost Happened
8. John Cena Vs. Roman Reigns - 2016
A rumoured match from 2016 now, as in a different universe we could have been moving towards a 'dream' match between WWE creative's two favourite playthings, Roman Reigns and John Cena. The coronation of Reigns as WWE Champion happened at the climax of WrestleMania 32, and his monster push was set to continue throughout the summer.
After steamrolling his opponents, Reigns was slated to come up against The Face That Runs The Place at the Biggest Party of the Summer, in a match that I'm sure had Vince McMahon giddy with glee. It would have been presented as the biggest match in the history of SummerSlam, making any fan over the age of 15 perform a series of questionable hand movements.
As it transpired Reigns continued to go down like a wet fart, and one failed drugs test later he found himself sans belt. Cena transitioned instead into a dream feud with AJ Styles, and everyone lived happily ever after.
Until 2017...
