Backstage News On John Cena And The WWE Title, MITB & SummerSlam News

By Marc Middleton

As of this weekend, John Cena is not booked for a match at WWE's Money in the Bank pay-per-view on July 15th. A source told The Wrestling Observer that they do not expect Cena to be added to the RAW Money in the Bank Ladder Match either.

The latest word on Cena's SummerSlam plans is that he will be going after WWE Champion CM Punk in the co-main event. WWE will reportedly be focusing on Cena-Punk and Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H as the SummerSlam main events this year.

Plans always change this far out but advertising for WWE's Night of Champions pay-per-view in September suggest that Cena would not win the WWE Title at SummerSlam. WWE is teasing that Cena will challenge for the WWE Title at Night of Champions, which takes place from his hometown in Boston.

Cena is expected to spend the latter part of 2012 in the WWE title picture.
