This article lists 5 of my favorite Summer Slam matches of Cena

5. Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena(c) for the WWE Title (Summer Slam 2014)

Lesnar destroying Cena

Well, as a match, this was one of the worst worked matches in Cena’s career as well as the worst title defense by him. Lesnar as expected dominated mostly and there was very little offence from Cena. Facing a trained MMA guy is a tough job and this match was an example of it. In that Cena took 16 German suplexes and F5s and showed that he is ready to go through any challenges to retain his spot as the top-notch of the company. This match also helped in enhancing Lesnar’s character as an Unstoppable Beast.

4.  John Cena vs. Edge (c) for the WWE Title (Summer Slam 2006)

Cena vs Edge 

John Cena looked determined and tough throughout this match. There was stipulation that Edge will lose the title even via DQ. There were several distractions by Lita and the match ended when Edge struck Cena with a brass knuckle when the ref was distracted. Though Cena lost the match it was an awesome encounter between them that I always love to see.

3. John Cena(c) vs. Randy Orton for WWE Title (Summer Slam 2007)

Whenever these 2 men are fighting, they give us something amazing and entertaining. In this match Cena successfully defended his title against Orton. The chemistry between these two is another reason why their matches are awesome. This match showcased the skills and talent of these 2 young wrestlers at that time and promised the WWE Universe that they will be on the Top Someday.

2. John Cena(c) vs. C.M. Punk(c) for Undisputed WWE Championship with Triple H as Guest referee (Summer Slam 2011)
