8 Best Candidates To Face WWE Champion Dean Ambrose At SummerSlam 2016

5. John Cena

Or why not have John Cena go up against Ambrose? What bigger opponent for the current WWE Champion could there be than The Face That Runs The Place?

It might not make everyone happy, but positioning Cena as the top contender to Ambrose's title makes great sense. Cena is still the top guy in the company, and a win for Ambrose against him with the title on the line would do wonders for Ambrose's credibility as champion.

Keeping Cena and Styles in mind, one interesting option would be to put both Styles and Cena up against Ambrose at SummerSlam in a triple threat match. This way you have your three top guys all vying for your top championship in a fascinating match that would main event any show on the calendar.

The fact that WWE just headlined a show with a triple threat match makes this unlikely, but it is still an interesting option.
