The card for SummerSlam continues to heat up as the WWE has confirmed a title-for-title winner-takes-all clash between Seth Rollins and John Cena.
10 Things We Want To See At WWE SummerSlam
The Architect laid out the challenge two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW, just one week after legitimately breaking the Cenation leader's nose, and now it's official.
Rollins will place his WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line while Cena's United States Championship will also hang in the balance on Aug. 23 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Cena appeared on the WWE reality show Tough Enough on Tuesday and intimated that the match will go down. Prior to the appearance, Cena hasn't been seen on WWE television since he was struck in the face by an errant knee from Rollins.
Rumors swirled after the injury that Cena may not be able to compete at SummerSlam, but with some assistance of a "Yes" chant by Daniel Bryan, the 15-time World Champion said he would accept the challenge.
The WWE then released a statement on its website saying the title-for-title clash is on in the Big Apple.
"The stakes have never been as great as they will be at SummerSlam when WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins faces United States Champion John Cena," the company wrote on WWE.com. "The winner takes all, and for the first time in WWE history, one Superstar will control both titles."
The WWE is going all-out to make SummerSlam a huge event as this bout will co-headline the event with Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker, which is a rematch of their memorable battle at WrestleMania XXX.
The company has revealed seven bouts for the card and four titles will be up for grabs at The Biggest Party of the Summer, which for the first time in history will span four hours.
With less than two weeks until the show, SummerSlam appears as though it's going to live up to its reputation of being the second biggest event of the year.
