As noted, Shinsuke Nakamura will face John Cena on WWE Smackdown Live tonight, with the winner going on to face Jinder Mahal for the WWE Championship at WWE SummerSlam.

According to PWInsider.com, sources are reporting the current plan in WWE is for Shinsuke Nakamura to face Jinder Mahal at the PPV this month, meaning Nakamura will defeat John Cena on Smackdown Live tonight.

As we noted earlier today, there was a shift in Nakamura vs Cena betting odds, which have Nakamura now a favorite to win, with John Cena +110 vs Shinsuke Nakamura -150.

Additionally, we reported yesterday that John Cena has landed a lead role in the upcoming “Transformers” Bumblebee spinoff movie, and that production on the film begins this week. With Cena landing the high profile role, it’s likely, but not confirmed, that he might need to take more time away from WWE, resulting in WWE going with Nakamura vs Mahal at SummerSlam.
