SummerSlam is always one of WWE’s marquee events, but the wrestling promotion has even bigger plans than usual, according to the latest rumors. Set to take place on Aug. 21 at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, SummerSlam 2021 is expected to be on par with WrestleMania.
As WWE plans to host its largest crowd of the year, the company is targeting a special main event. That means potentially bringing back John Cena, who hasn’t appeared on WWE TV since WrestleMania 36 on April 5, 2020.
There have been multiple reports that WWE wants a match between Cena and Universal Champion Roman Reigns to headline SummerSlam. Cena won his first world title in 2005 and was the face of the company for the next decade. Reigns has since become WWE’s top star, competing in the WrestleMania main event in five of the last seven years.
