According to a report from PWInsider, John Cena is scheduled to be part of a six-man tag match at the live event in Shanghai, a match that will see him team up with Finn Balor and Bobby Lashley to take on Constable Baron Corbin, Elias, and Jinder Mahal.

Other matches for the show could give some indication to the direction of the show at SummerSlam since Roman Reigns is set to take on Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins is taking on Dolph Ziggler and Titus Worldwide look set to face The Revival.

What's next?

John Cena is also advertised to be part of the Australian Super Show-Down on October 6th, where he will be in the same building as The Undertaker for the first time since The Greatest Royal Rumble, but it is unknown when Cena will return to WWE TV to pick up a lengthy feud.
