WWE SummerSlam 2025 takes place over two nights (Saturday, August 2, and Sunday, August 3, 2025) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The event kicks off each night at 6:00 pm Eastern (3:00 pm Pacific), which corresponds to 11:00 pm British Summer Time in the UK. (Night One runs on Saturday and Night Two on Sunday.) This year’s “biggest party of the summer” format is headlined by the Undisputed WWE Championship Street Fight between John Cena and Cody Rhodes, and it even features celebrity appearances – for example, rapper Cardi B hosted Night One.

These stipulations ensure plenty of high spots and weapons will be in play.
Key Match Previews
Undisputed Championship – John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes (Street Fight)
The headline rematch sees Cena defending the Undisputed WWE Title against Cody Rhodes in the main event of Night Two. This match is billed as their WrestleMania 41 rematch – back then Cena beat Rhodes for the title – and now Cody is seeking revenge in a no-rules Street Fight. All falls count anywhere, so expect weapons and brawling throughout MetLife Stadium. With Cena’s possible retirement looming and Cody’s King of the Ring momentum behind him, this is the hottest match on the card.
Other Title Matches & Highlights
Aside from the main event, SummerSlam 2025 features several title matches and high-profile bouts: Naomi (Women’s World Title, c) defends in a triple threat against Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley, a three-way where high-flying action is expected. Becky Lynch (c) puts her Women’s Intercontinental Title on the line against Lyra Valkyria in a special Last Chance, No DQ/No Count-Out match (if Lyra loses, she can never challenge Lynch for that belt again). AJ Styles challenges Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Title in a straight-up singles match. And in tag action, the Women’s Tag Champions (Raquel & Roxanne) face Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss, while Reigns & Jey Uso take on the team of Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed.
Other Featured Matches
The card also includes Logan Paul, a big celebrity participant. Paul teams with Drew McIntyre against Randy Orton & rising star Jelly Roll in a tag match. Even non-title bouts are heavily hyped – for example, the multi-team TLC bout for the tag titles promises “beautiful, brutal chaos” as six teams (including the Wyatt Sicks, Street Profits, #DIY, Motor City Machine Guns, Fraxiom, and Lucha House Party) battle with tables, ladders and chairs for gold. In short, SummerSlam 2025’s lineup is stacked with top names and championship stakes, ensuring plenty of drama and action.
