At some point soon, John Cena loses the US Championship to Kevin Owens and, after losing his rematch against the new US Champ, turns his pursuit back towards the WWEWHC. Cena claims that the WWE Universe deserves a real hero to represent the company instead of a coward who hides behind the Authority’s skirt like Seth Rollins, and formally challenges for the WWEWHC.

The two of them headline numerous PPVs throughout the year, beginning at SummerSlam 2015. In that match, Cena wins via DQ due to interference from the Authority. At Night of Champions, Rollins wins following a roll-up while grabbing Cena’s pants. At HIAC, Rollins uses numerous weapons and pins Cena clean in the middle of the ring.
