Previous Match John Cena vs Shinsuke Nakamura
John Cena opened this week’s event of SmackDown Live to put Shinsuke Nakamura over just as much as he maybe could. Because this is pro wrestling, someone had to stop to run him down for it.
A week after losing his possibility to win a 17th world championship, John Cena has found his SummerSlam opponent.Match Info

Following an out-of-control melee with Baron Corbin completely on WWE Network last week after SmackDown LIVE went off the air, John Cena kicked off tonight’s show by addressing his loss to Shinsuke Nakamura. Cena quickly shifted his focus, though, as The Lone Wolf made his way onto the stage, and the two Superstars immediately started trading verbal barbs.
The excited exchange between the brash Corbin and the 16-time World Champion led to The Leader of The Conation challenging Mr. Money in a Bank to an unplanned fight, though Corbin didn’t seem too keen on the idea and ongoing to make his exit.
