Roman Reigns vs John Cena Universal Championship Match made official for SummerSlam

Roman Reigns vs John Cena Universal Championship Match made official for SummerSlam. The two will face each other in the main event.

John Cena has been looking for a fight against Roman Reigns but the Tribal Chief has not shown any interest. Instead, he chose to accept Balor’s challenge for the title. The two were scheduled to have a contract signing on tonight’s episode of SmackDown but things didn’t go as planned for either of them.

During the contract signing, Corbin rushed in and attacked Balor from behind. He took the Prince to the ringside and demolished him there before getting back to the ring. He picked the contract up and signed it before Cena rushed in and attacked Corbin. The Cenation leader then signed the contract himself while Reigns seethed from his chair at the table.

Paul Heyman later approached Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville insisting that the contract was not legal due to it having Balor’s name on it and Cena’s signature. Pearce and Deville overruled the special counsel and made the match official.

Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
