During WWE Smackdown Live on Tuesday night, a highly-anticipated match between Shinsuke Nakamura and John Cena finally took place with the right to face Jindar Mahal at Summer Slam for the WWE Championship.
But a scary scene nearly unraveled when Nakamura finished Cena with a suplex and Cena landed awkwardly on his neck.

However, Cena was fine, and assured Nakamura everything was all good when he apologized after the match.

“Don’t be sorry”
