The original plan heading into this year’s SummerSlam event would have seen Jinder Mahal defending the WWE Championship against John Cena, however that doesn’t appear to be the case anymore.
Dave Meltzer reported on the latest installment of Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE appears to be building towards a match between Cena and AJ Styles at SummerSlam this year. Meltzer indicated that the planned match between Cena and Mahal may still take place at a later date but they aren’t doing it now.
