On tonight's episode of SmackDown Live, WWE Champion Jinder Mahal demanded to know who his next challenger would be at the SummerSlam pay-per-view. 16-time WWE World Champion John Cena responded by issuing a challenge to Mahal, vowing to become a 17-time World Champion.

However, SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan came out and announced that Cena must face "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura on next week's SmackDown to determine who will challenge Jinder Mahal for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam.
