WWE Rumor Roundup - Legendary star rethinking retirement, Veteran wants to work with Bray Wyatt, SummerSlam main event revealed (29th May 2021) 

#3. WWE planning a massive match for SummerSlam 2021

As announced by WWE, SummerSlam 2021 will take place on Saturday, August 21st, and speculation about the company's plans for the massive event are already starting to do the rounds on the internet.

Andrew Zarian of Mat Men was the first to reveal that WWE could be planning a significant match for John Cena.

Dave Meltzer addressed the rumors in a recent Wrestling Observer Newsletter, where he confirmed that there are indeed talks to have John Cena vs. Roman Reigns in a Universal title match for SummerSlam.

Of course, a clash of such magnitude will be the marquee main event of the pay-per-view if it ends up getting booked. However, WWE has not locked in on the match just yet as there is still a long way to go before a final call is made.

"The leading rumor is Roman Reigns vs. John Cena for the Universal title. We do know that as of last week, they were in talks with Cena, that were not finalized, to appear on the 7/16 Smackdown show in Houston," Meltzer noted.

John Cena and Roman Reigns have had a brief program in the past, but the storyline and character dynamics are entirely different this time around. John Cena last appeared at WrestleMania 36, and the Cenation Leader is admittedly eager to make his WWE return.

A massive SummerSlam 2021 main event in front of fans against Roman Reigns sounds like the best possible scenario for John Cena's comeback. What do you think?
