I think him putting over GUNTHER would be a hell of a match.
Who would you like to see Cena work with at the event?

Gunther, Theory or Balor. Balor. And they can set it up quite easily. "My name should have been on that contract and you know it!"

Someone he can beat. His last win at a big 4 PPV was 5 years ago against Corbin. Since then he’s been essentially squashed by Undertaker, Fiend and Roman. He desperately needs something resembling a big win if he’s to be credible in future attraction matches.
Theory is perfect. Both because it's already the match being teased and also because Theory is someone who can easily take a loss. I'd have Cena beat Theory for the US title at Summerslam then drop it to Balor before he goes back to Hollywood to pay off their thing from last year. Or if Balor is above the US title at this point then have him screw over Cena in a match with Priest, who wins it.
Cena v Gunther would be a great match but Gunther shouldn't be losing right now and I really think Cena should be winning his next match too. If Cena is available I'd maybe do that match at Wrestlemania. At least then hopefully it would be on the back of Cena winning at Summerslam and not on a huge losing streak. And Gunther ideally will be well into a hugely dominant IC title reign by then. That story would be perfect actually. The IC is the one title Cena has never won and he has to beat this killer for it, puts up a great fight but just comes up short. That’s a great story, I just think Summerslam is too early to tell it. A win over Cena should be the culmination of a huge push, not essentially the beginning of one.

Theory and to be honest, it probably should be.
I can't really think of any fresh interesting matches for Cena apart from him.

I kind of want them to just give him a heel to beat and to do a simple good vs bad storyline since crowds cheer him now, something that isn't "gee I looked at the script and those writers sure give you preferential treatment BITCH" *loses at PPV*

Gunther, Theory or Balor. Either of the first two would be great if they had them go over, but I feel like if he's matched up with Balor WWE is going to want Cena to win. It wouldn't kill Balor's career or anything but it would be a waste of Cena's limited appearances.

Gunner I’d prefer win but he’s not really at that level yet (plus Cena seems to be returning to Raw). Cena needs to win sometimes when he comes back or the returns have less meaning.

Super Cena vs. The DEMON Balor would be great. I've no interest in Theory, though that's probably what will happen.

Someone like Balor or Edge. Just not Theory. He's not ready yet. There's no point in doing it if Cena is just going to win. But in my view, Theory beating Cena doesn't put Austin over that much. It will more be a sign of where they see Cena. It will be like when Evan Bourne beat Jericho on PPV. It was a nice little win for Evan but my takeaway there was that Jericho just wasn't seen as someone worth protecting anymore. Cena eventually should put someone over again like he did with Roman. But he needs a win first.

But he needs a win first. Balor and Edge will surely be facing each other at Summerslam though. I guess it's possible they do it at MITB instead but I think that beating was to write Edge off for the next month or so so I think they will save it for Summerslam. I think Theory is perfect. He’s not too big of a name that he would look bad losing to a part-timer. And just wrestling John Cena at Summerslam is automatically the biggest match of his career and good experience for him. Really it’s just about a feel-good moment for Cena fans after years of him getting his ass kicked when he returns. You could have him beat Omos or another random midcard heel but I think Theory would be the better match and is the guy who would benefit the most getting a marquee match with Cena.

My opponent? Frankly I'm not even sure I'm booked to work Summerslam at this time.
