The dream SmackDown Live match between John Cena and Shinsuke Nakamura was played yesterday i.e. Aug 1. With the victory, John Cena had a chance to give us another grand fight against Jinder Mahal for Summer Slam 2017.
However, the 16 time WWE champion missed the chance to win the title for the 17th time as he lost it out in the battle against Shinsuke Nakamura.
It was a heartbreaking moment for fans who had dreamt to see the epic fight between Jinder Mahal and John Cena at the Summer Slam 2017.
Even John Cena had come out on SmackDown Live last week to give a heads up to Jinder Mahal that he would be his new opponent at SummerSlam.

In the match, there were moments when it looked John Cena will win, however, a few mistakes by Cena and a quick comeback by Nakamura turned John’s victory into a big loss.
John Cena’s sportsman spirit
Best thing about the match was that even after losing out, John Cena remained sane and appreciated Nakamura for his hard earned victory.
John Cena raised the hand of Nakamura as a sign of respect and we really appreciate him for his sportsmanship.
John Cena even did a handshake with Nakamura after his victory.
Jinder Mahal along with the Singh Brothers was present at Cleveland to enjoy the battle from the skybox.
