WWE SummerSlam is all set to take place on August 2 and 3 as the biggest party of the summer will be held for the first time across two days. All the main titles are set to be defended with John Cena vs Cody Rhodes and CM Punk vs Gunther expected to be the main events of the event.
Get ready for the ultimate wrestling spectacle of the season — WWE SummerSlam is set to light up MetLife Stadium in New Jersey with high-octane action! For the first time ever, this iconic Premium Live Event will be spread across two action-packed nights, featuring a loaded match card filled with WWE’s biggest superstars.
Nearly every major title will be on the line, with the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship matches headlining Night 1 and Night 2, respectively. In a highly anticipated showdown, John Cena is set to put his WWE title on the line against Cody Rhodes in a brutal Street Fight. Adding to the suspense, Cena showed a dramatic shift in attitude during the final SmackDown before the event — teasing fans with the possibility of a major twist. And if rumors are true, The Rock could make a shocking return and shake things up in a big way.
CM Punk and Gunther will be battling it out for the World Heavyweight Championship and to stake claim to the title of ‘Best In The World.’ Both men have been on a roll in recent months but there is the big shadow of Seth Rollins hovering above them. The Visionary has been out injured, but rumours do suggest it could be a ruse to help him cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase and become champion.
Apart from this, Roman Reigns and Jey Uso will face off against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, while Jelly Roll will make his WWE debut as he partners Randy Orton in their match against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.
Naomi will have her work cut out against Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley while Jade Cargill would aim to dethrone Tiffany Stratton and become the new WWE Women’s champion.

2025 WWE SummerSlam matches — Night 1
World Heavyweight Championship — Gunther (c) vs. CM Punk: Punk won a gauntlet match on Raw to become No. 1 contender to Gunther and the championship. Things got complicated in the title picture when Seth Rollins suffered a knee injury, taking the Money in the Bank contract holder out of action for the foreseeable future. Punk now has another chance to win championship gold since returning to WWE.
WWE Women’s Championship — Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Jade Cargill: Cargill’s win over former world champion Asuka is one of the biggest of her career. By winning the match, Cargill guaranteed a SummerSlam title match with SmackDown’s world champion. Stratton held that title, but had to get through Trish Stratus at Evolution before turning her attention to the Queen of the Ring.
Randy Orton & Jelly Roll vs. Drew McIntyre & Logan Paul: Jelly Roll makes his wrestling debut against social media influencer Paul, but both celebrities are equipped with experience. Orton will team with the country singer, while McIntyre sides with Paul. The feud started on the July 10 episode of SmackDown after Paul interrupted Jelly Roll’s performance and attacked Orton. Things escalated at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Jelly Roll helped Orton beat McIntyre, but ate a Claymore kick for it.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships — The Judgment Day (Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez) (c) vs. Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair: 14-time women’s world champion Flair leveraged her reputation to book a tag team title match against Judgment Day at SummerSlam.
Roman Reigns & Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed: Reigns returned to save Punk and Uso from Breakker and Reed after the Raw gauntlet match. With Rollins sidelined, Breakker and Reed needed a focus, and a tag match with Reigns and Uso fits that bill quite nicely.
Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross: Zayn has had long-running issues with Kross, with Kross trying to get Zayn to embrace his darker side. This led to a series of attacks on Zayn across weeks of Raw. Now, the two will look to end things at SummerSlam.
2025 WWE SummerSlam matches — Night 2
Undisputed WWE Championship — John Cena (c) vs. Cody Rhodes (Street fight): Cena and Rhodes are running back their WrestleMania main event. At Night of Champions, Rhodes defeated Randy Orton to win the King of the Ring tournament. Rhodes’ reward was a match against his brand’s world champion at SummerSlam. Cena defeated CM Punk that same evening to retain the undisputed WWE title, setting up a rematch this summer. During their contract signing, Rhodes forced Cena to agree to a street fight.
Women’s World Championship — Naomi (c) vs. Iyo Sky vs. Rhea Ripley: Ripley and Sky were having an incredible match at Evolution when Naomi cashed in the Money in the Bank contract and won the title. One night later, Adam Pearce made the SummerSlam triple threat match official, saying the women could “make magic” and help the box office.
Women’s Intercontinental Championship — Becky Lynch (c) vs. Lyra Valkyria: Lynch and Valkyria have had a long feud over the title. After a triple threat match also involving Bayley was won by Lynch at Evolution, Bayley and Valkyria had a two-out-of-three falls match to determine who would face Lynch at SummerSlam. Valkyria got the win and the chance to get revenge on Lynch.
United States Championship — Solo Sikoa (c) vs. Jacob Fatu (Steel Cage match): Sikoa attempted to frame Fatu for a car crash. After learning about Sikoa’s deception, Raw general manager Adam Pearce, filling in for Nick Aldis, booked Sikoa vs. Fatu in a steel cage.
Intercontinental Championship — Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. AJ Styles: Mysterio has been hiding behind a doctor’s note declaring him medically unfit to compete. That has allowed him to retain his belt without having to face Styles. Pearce made it clear that the second Mysterio was cleared, he would be booked into a match with Styles. That day came and the two will meet for the title on Night 2 of SummerSlam.
WWE Tag Team Championship — Wyatt Sicks (c) vs. #DIY vs. Street Profits vs. Fraxiom vs. Motor City Machine Guns vs. Andrade & Rey Fenix (TLC match): A late addition to the card, it has not officially been announced whether this will be on Night 1 or 2, but Night 2 makes sense as it would place six matches on each night. After the SmackDown tag division was built into a fine group, the Wyatts came along to win the titles. All the teams have been looking to tear each other apart for months and Nick Aldis announced that a TLC match would take place to settle things.
