On Sunday, June 29, eight men will compete at “Money in the Bank,” attempting to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, in a ladder match. These eight men are John Cena, Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio, Cesaro, Bray Wyatt, Sheamus, Roman Reigns, and Kane.
As noted, whoever walks out of the event champion, will likely face Brock Lesnar at “SummerSlam.” This notion was further established when WWE asked its fans who they would like to see Lesnar challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at “SummerSlam.” Fans had the choice of seven WWE Superstars, all of who were in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Ladder match at “Money in the Bank.” Kane was the only member of the match not part of the poll because he was a late addition to the match, being added on the June 23 edition of “Monday Night Raw.”
Despite being rumored to face Lesnar at “SummerSlam,” Daniel Bryan was not part of the poll. While his “SummerSlam” status remains in question, Bryan will be appearing at “Money in the Bank.” The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion will be on the kickoff show, airing on the WWE Network and other platforms such as YouTube, this time around.
The notion that Lesnar will challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship has been all but confirmed. A poster for the 2014 edition of “SummerSlam” has leaked on Amazon.com. The poster seems to shed light on who Lesnar will face at the event. John Cena, the odds-on favorite to become champion on June 29, joins “The Beast Incarnate” on the poster.
Below is the 2014 “SummerSlam” poster:
Following Brock Lesnar’s return to WWE in 2012, his first match was against John Cena. The two duked it out at “Extreme Rules” in an Extreme Rules match. In the end, Cena pulled out the victory with an “Attitude Adjustments” to steel steps.

Editor’s Note
This match is definitely set in stone and will be for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Expect Cena to reign supreme at “Money in the Bank,” and try not to get too jammed-up.
