WWE is gearing up for its biggest spectacle of the summer—SummerSlam 2025—set to unfold over two thrilling nights on August 2 and 3. Streaming live on Peacock, the event promises blockbuster showdowns, dramatic twists, and career-defining moments, with the energy of WrestleMania packed into one action-filled weekend.
Headlining the event is John Cena defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes. Cena, who captured the title from Cody earlier this year, now faces the “American Nightmare” once again after Rhodes triumphed in the 2025 King of the Ring tournament. With Cena set to retire later this year, the match carries emotional weight and legacy implications, potentially passing the torch to a new era.
In another marquee matchup, Gunther puts his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against CM Punk. The clash pits Gunther’s brute strength and precision against Punk’s resilience and mind games, as the latter attempts to cement his comeback with championship gold.
The women’s division also takes center stage. Queen of the Ring winner Jade Cargill challenges the confident WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton, marking a major leap in Cargill’s career. Meanwhile, Naomi defends her Women’s World Championship in a triple threat match against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY, promising high-flying intensity and fierce competition.
The undercard is equally stacked. Becky Lynch battles Lyra Valkyria for the Women’s Intercontinental title, while Dominik Mysterio defends the Intercontinental Championship against AJ Styles. A brutal Steel Cage Match sees Solo Sikoa square off against Jacob Fatu for the U.S. Title. Adding to the excitement is the tag team showdown featuring Randy Orton and country music star Jelly Roll facing Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.
With surprise returns and potential debuts teased, SummerSlam 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark event that could redefine WWE’s future.
