Amazon.com may have spoiled some key WWE summer storylines as it recently released a photo of the SummerSlam 2014 DVD cover with Brock Lesnar and John Cena on the front of it, giving away a possible match at the event for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

It was rumored that the WWE was planning on having Lesnar go after the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam on Aug. 17 and the company even released a survey asking fans who Lesnar should go after if he opted to wrestle for the title at the biggest event of the summer, and this picture makes it seem as though Lesnar vs. Cena will headline the summer show.
Updated MITB Card After Another Match Is Added
There were reports that Lesnar would take on Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam for the gold, but the WWE was forced to take the belt off of Bryan and put it on the line in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at this Sunday's event from the TD Garden in Boston, which is near Cena's hometown of West Newbury, Mass.
If the DVD cover is any indication, Cena is likely going to win the match this Sunday at Money in the Bank when he goes up against Randy Orton, Kane, Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt, Sheamus, Cesaro and Alberto Del Rio for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Cena has reportedly been the favorite to win the match ever since it was announced that the title would be on the line in lieu of a contract good for a WWE World Heavyweight Championship shot. The favorite to win was originally Cesaro when it was for a briefcase but the WWE has changed its plans now that the title is up for grabs.
It was also rumored that a heel would win the match, but those plans also seem to have changed since the WWE is looking to give Lesnar a title shot at SummerSlam on Aug. 17 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The WWE is looking to make Lesnar a focal point of storylines late this summer and into the early fall since he is coming off of the heels of ending The Streak on The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX on April 6. The company wants to treat SummerSlam as worthy of being the second biggest event of the year and it seems that a Lesnar vs. Cena match is the way they're leaning.
Lesnar and Cena last battled at Extreme Rules 2012 in a very good match, and the WWE knows putting its biggest face against a monster like Lesnar should sell some more tickets and WWE Network subscriptions. There has been speculation that Lesnar will win the belt at SummerSlam and then stick around for a month and lose it at September's Night of Champions.
While the leaked DVD cover may prove to be nothing more than a coincidence, it seems to be a telling sign that Cena will win the Ladder Match on Sunday and eventually go on to face Lesnar with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line at SummerSlam in August.
