Baron Corbin vs. John Cena

A couple of weeks ago, after Smackdown went off the air, Baron Corbin attacked Shinsuke Nakamura after he beat John Cena to become the number one contender for Jinder Mahal’s WWE Championship. Cena would return to the ring to make the save, and put Corbin through an announce table.

So, it looks like Corbin and Cena will be involved in a feud that will culminate at SummerSlam. With Cena leaving after SummerSlam to film the new Transformers movie, we likely won’t be seeing much of him after the event. And it looks like even when he does return. Which will probably be before the Royal Rumble, he’ll be a part of the Raw brand to face Roman Reigns.

So, this will likely be a one-off feud, which means Corbin should go over. If Corbin does win at SummerSlam, then him cashing in on that night makes the most sense.

Fresh off a win over John Cena, and continuing his feud with Shinsuke Nakamura, who is likely to win the WWE Championship later that night. Corbin could walk out as the big guy on Smackdown.
