WrestleMania has barely left the minds of WWE fans but already some are looking ahead to this year's SummerSlam event.

With new champions and new superstars coming out of WrestleMania week, there is a lot of buzz about what new main roster stars like Tye Dillinger, Shinsuke Nakamura and the Revival may be doing in August.

One star missing?

The annual tradition of SummerSlam is often considered as the second biggest event of the year and WWE always brings out the big names for it.

As per Ringside News, One big name that is currently set to miss the event however is the 16 time world champion John Cena.

Cena was victorious at WrestleMania when he and long time girlfriend Nikki Bella defeated the Miz and Maryse before sharing a special moment in the ring.

The newly engaged couple are both expected to take time off from WWE for different reasons and neither have been advertised for any WWE shows through to the end of summer.

Meaning that big match john could be absent from the biggest event of the summer, it would be a big loss for the WWE not to have him on the match card.

SummerSlam isn't until August and plans can always change between now and then and it has to be believed that if there is a chance of Cena appearing, WWE will want to capitalise on it.

Cena and Bella will both be big losses to Smackdown and while both are leaving for different reasons, they could be set to return at the same time.

Cena is leaving WWE to work on projects away from the company including several movies, while Bella is leaving to help her neck recovery.

New star rising

With Cena gone from Smackdown, the brand is seriously lacking in a strong face superstar.

Despite the new WWE Champion Randy Orton and Dean Ambrose forming the two top face superstars on the roster, other mid level characters like Luke Harper and Andre the Giant Memorial winner Mojo Rawley could take the chance to move up the roster.

Smackdown did however get two brand new names to add to their roster on Tuesday night when former NXT superstars Shinsuke Nakamura and Tye Dillinger debuted.

The two fan favourites could easily reach the top of the roster on Smackdown as they have now made their long awaited appearances on the main roster.
