John Cena and CM Punk will collide, perhaps for the last time, and something big is brewing for Night of Champions. Appearing at the WWE SummerSlam kick-off event, Cena kept coy about plans, but teased big things to come in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“If you’re enjoying what we’re doing on TV right now, then you have to watch Night of Champions — it’s going to be effing great. If you liked SmackDown, I promise you’ll like the next one even more. We’re cooking up something special. Don’t miss it.”
Michael Cole attempted to pry more details out of the Undisputed WWE Champion, but he refused, saying he was not there to spoil the show. Cena was similarly cagey when pressed about what changed in him to cause his heel turn from March of this year.
CM Punk was also at the kick-off event and had plenty to say about his opponent. These appearances have left fans wondering if Cena’s words were the typical WWE hype bravado, or if something special is indeed coming to Night of Champions.
