Picture: SummerSlam 2025 – WWE
Tonight marks the start of the busiest weekend of the summer in professional wrestling, as WWE superstars gather at MetLife Stadium for two exciting nights of SummerSlam. This year’s SummerSlam will be the first to stream on Netflix, which raises several questions for subscribers. To provide clarity, we’ve compiled a comprehensive Q&A that covers everything you need to know.
SummerSlam 2025 will host some huge matches over the weekend, including the highly anticipated rematch between the current Undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena, who destroyed Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania 41 to win his record-breaking 17th world title. With bad blood between the pair, it’s going to be a match to remember. Meanwhile, Gunther defends the World Heavyweight Championship against beloved veteran CM Punk. Roman Reigns’ return to the ring will see him team up with cousin Jey Uso, who take on the formidable Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
Other exciting matches on the card will see a family feud settled between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. While AJ Styles will finally get his hands on the elusive Intercontinental Champion, Dominik Mysterio.

In the Women’s division, Naomi defends her recently won Women’s World Championship against two dangerous opponents, Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley. Naomi previously cashed in her money in the bank contract at Evolution 2025, interrupting long-time rivals Iyo and Rhea’s match, pinning the beloved Japanese wrestler to claim the gold. Meanwhile, Tiffany Stratton faces her most formidable title defence yet as she takes on the powerhouse Jade Cargill. In the tag team division, The Judgment Day takes on the recently formed tag team partnership of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Lastly, Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria will seek to settle their bad blood as Lynch defends her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against her Irish compatriot.
