John Cena Will Face Seth Rollins at WWE SummerSlam for the WWE World Heavyweight Title

Rollins looks to defend his WWE World Heavyweight title, while Cena is out to issue some payback for his broken nose.

Video Still.

On August 23, WWE SummerSlam will take Brooklyn by storm, treating wrestling fans to a night they surely won't forget. Rumors have suggested that the evening's line-up will be stacked, and as the date of the event has drawn nearer, the company has only confirmed this assumption to be true. The Undertaker will face-off against Brock Lesnar. Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper will go head-to-head against Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. And one more match has been announced that could turn SummerSlam into WWE's biggest night of 2015: John Cena vs. Seth Rollins, in a winner-take-all showdown that will give the victor the U.S. Championship AND the WWE World Heavyweight title.

According to the WWE, this will be the first time in the company's history that one man has held both titles at the same time. As if this fact wasn't a compelling enough reason to tune-in, we've also got a serious payback factor in play. As you'll likely recall, Rollins was responsible for breaking Cena's nose during the July 27 Raw, delivering one of the most brutal and real injuries in recent WWE memory. It seems unlikely that we should expect to see Cena return the favor, but you can be sure that this match is going to be a sufficiently hype follow-up to one of the year's most shocking in-ring moments.
