Had Daniel Bryan not gotten injured in 2014 and faced Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, WWE would have had to come up with a plan for John Cena heading into the Biggest Party of the Summer. One of the ideas for him surrounded the Wyatt Family, the Big Show and — wait — Justin Bieber?

According to former WWE writer Kevin Eck, the pop star wanted to get in the ring and wrestle at SummerSlam. An idea floated around of Bieber teaming with Cena and Big Show to take on Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, and Erick Rowan in a six-man tag team match at the event.

However, the proposed match was duly scrapped once WWE could not work a deal out with the singer. The company had dodged a genuine bullet there, as Justin Bieber taking down the Wyatt Family would have instantly killed the stable's momentum. Even seeing Cena and Big Show beat the Wyatts at SummerSlam would have severely compromised their momentum.

There is a lesson to be learned in every failure (unicycles included!!). The lesson here may be U didn’t C ME! Congratulations on the new single! @JustinBieber pic.twitter.com/nnZsULcUjj

Even the thought of this idea is infuriating. It would have been much worse than the previously mentioned plans for Charlie Sheen. Luckily for everybody involved, it did not materialize. Bieber would have likely been booed out of the building in Los Angeles and become, despite being on the babyface team.

Bray Wyatt and John Cena ended up having more conventional matches at SummerSlam 2014, against Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar, respectively.
