This Saturday, WWE SummerSlam will witness the biggest rivalry of the year. In a battle of the past and present, WWE Universal Champion and current ‘face’ of WWE, Roman Reigns will face the 16-time world champion and WWE icon John Cena.
Reigns have been an indomitable force in WWE since he came back at last year’s SummerSlam. His heel Tribal Chief gimmick and equally vicious Bloodline stable solidified his supremacy.
And what can we say about John Cena? He dominated WWE in the last decade and was the face of the company before Roman. Cena has won almost every single title in WWE history and is tied with Ric Flair for the most world champion reigns at 16.

A few years ago, a transition happened when WWE started bringing up Reigns as the successor to Cena. Back then, fans were furious over the ‘over-saturation’ of Cena and Reigns and both were booed regularly.
But now all has changed. Fans felt the absence of Cena when he left for Hollywood. In the meantime, Reigns became a heel and rose in the ranks. As the top players of the company, both are financially well off. Before their bout, let’s see where both of the superstars stand financially.
