"I like it" - WWE legend comments on Roman Reigns vs. John Cena rumors at SummerSlam [Exclusive]
There has recently been a lot of talk of a potential WWE return for John Cena to challenge WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at SummerSlam.
During this week's edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, the legendary Dutch Mantell gave his take on a potential Cena vs. Reigns SummerSlam main event. Mantell said he liked the idea and felt that a marquee match of such caliber ensures the pay-per-view tickets will sell out:
"I like it. You have got [John] Cena who they have not seen in a year or two. I think you got a marquee match and I think they will fill it up. And I think in Vegas, the people are used to this lockdown, this quarantine we've all been under, they're ready to get out. They're ready to go. So if they pack that undercard, they will have a sellout. They may have a sellout anyway because of the event - SummerSlam. SummerSlam and WrestleMania, these are big events regardless of what's on the card. Some of these WrestleMania cards I've seen really aren't that exciting. But, it's WrestleMania or it's SummerSlam, let's go, it's history."
