3 Matches for John Cena at SummerSlam 2019

John Cena had spent the major part of 2018 outside of WWE working on movies, commercials, and TV Shows. And, the story has been the same in 2019 as well. This year, "The Franchise Player" has made just a handful of appearances in WWE. The last time we saw him was at WrestleMania 35.

However, we still don't know whether John Cena will be back and the extent of his return is still unknown. Also, the question looms around; will he compete at the Biggest Party of the Summer? Whether it's on Raw, Smackdown, SummerSlam, Super ShowDown or any other show, John Cena is going to need someone to work with, and that's where WWE needs to be careful of.

Who are the possible contenders "The Face that runs the Place" could face at Summerslam 2019? Let's throw out some ideas of who could make for a perfect competitor for the Company's Franchise Player.

#3 Drew McIntyre

John Cena can face Drew McIntyre this year

In the latest WWE NEWS, if Vince McMahon is looking for someone worthy enough to have a rivalry with John Cena and get a big stroke out of it, one of the best wrestlers on the list has to be "The Scottish Psychopath".

Most people don't remember but John Cena and Drew McIntyre have faced each other in WWE before. This happened back at Bragging Rights in 2010, where John Cena and David Otunga defeated Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes for the WWE Tag team Championships. That was a total different Drew McIntyre compared to the one we see every week.

Drew McIntyre is one of those Superstars who have a bright future ahead of them. And, Vince McMahon is waiting for the right opportunity to pull the trigger on McIntyre's long due push. So, a match with John Cena could help him to become a much bigger deal.

#2 Lars Sullivan

Sullivan has been unstoppable since his debut

In the latest WWE NEWS, John Cena has made a career out of facing big, tall and strong men like Mark Henry, The Great Khali, Big Show, and the others. The only exception between the John Cena of today and the John Cena of 2008 is that the John Cena of today is ready to put over younger talents.

Lars Sullivan is a young WWE Superstar who has a big future ahead of himself and to face someone like John Cena and to beat him would surely help him to fix his position in the WWE as he has just made his debut on the main roster.

John Cena would also feel comfortable while facing Sullivan, as Cena knows a thing or two about how to fight against someone much bigger than him; get knocked down and try to fight back and win. So, if creatives are serious about pushing Lars Sullivan to the main event scene, this could be the best opportunity to convince the fans that he deserves it.

#1 The Undertaker

Rematch between the two?

The Undertaker is currently scheduled to face Goldberg at WWE Super ShowDown, taking place on June 7 in Saudi Arabia. The Undertaker and John Cena weren't involved in any wrestling match at this year's WrestleMania. Many fans predicted that John Cena and The Undertaker could face each other again after their squash match at WrestleMania 34.

Well, the current scenario suggests that The Undertaker is not done with wrestling and seems to be featuring in more matches than the one at Super ShowDown. So, there is unfinished business between John Cena and The Undertaker which can be settled at SummerSlam 2019.

For more than a decade, a match between two of the biggest stars in the wrestling world was hyped. It seemed like it was finally going to take place, but the end result wasn't that satisfying as most fans went home unhappy. In case, Vince McMahon doesn't find any other opponent for Cena at SummerSlam, he can return to a past feud which would be a box office.
