WWE SummerSlam 2025: Everything You Need to Know About Night Two
The highly anticipated WWE SummerSlam 2025 event is in full swing, captivating fans with back-to-back nights of thrilling wrestling action. Hosted at the iconic MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, this year’s SummerSlam marks the return of the two-night format, promising nonstop excitement and unforgettable moments.
Night One set a dramatic tone for the weekend. The evening reached a fever pitch when CM Punk claimed the World Championship in a brutal battle against Gunther. Punk’s victory was a major moment, especially considering his recent return to WWE in 2023. However, his celebration was short-lived. Seth Rollins made a striking entrance on crutches, confronting Punk and signaling his intent to challenge for the title. The crutches were a ruse, as Rollins quickly discarded them and launched a surprise attack on Punk with his Money in the Bank briefcase before delivering a decisive stomp. This unexpected assault set the stage for an intense title feud heading into Night Two.
The spotlight now turns to the second night of SummerSlam, scheduled for Sunday, August 3, starting at 6 p.m. Eastern Time. The card is stacked with six compelling matches that promise a mix of high stakes and high drama for the fans inside MetLife Stadium and viewers watching live on Peacock.
Headlining Night Two is a highly anticipated street fight between John Cena and Cody Rhodes. Cena, the undisputed WWE Champion, has been navigating a complex character arc since his heel turn. Yet, recent appearances on SmackDown suggest a possible return to his fan-favorite persona. Whether this change is genuine or a strategic ploy remains to be seen. Cody Rhodes is determined to dethrone Cena and claim the championship, ensuring that this bout will be intense and emotionally charged.
The women’s division is also featured prominently on the Night Two card. Naomi, the new Women’s World Champion, will defend her title in a triple threat match against Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley. Naomi’s championship win came last month at WWE Evolution, where she cashed in her Money in the Bank contract during a match between Sky and Ripley. With three fierce competitors in the ring, this match is expected to be a highlight of the night.
Solo Sikoa will put his United States Championship on the line against Jacob Fatu inside a steel cage. The cage match is designed to prevent outside interference, though with Sikoa’s faction gaining momentum, unpredictable twists are likely. Fans should anticipate a physically demanding and hard-fought battle.
One of the most chaotic matches on the card is the six-team Tables, Ladders, and Chairs (TLC) match for the WWE Tag Team Championships. The reigning champions, the Wyatt Sicks, will face formidable opponents including Street Profits, #DIY, Motor City Machine Guns, Fraxiom, and the duo of Andrade and Rey Fenix. TLC matches are known for their extreme spots and fast pace, guaranteeing an electrifying contest.
In addition to these marquee bouts, the event will feature a No Countout, No Disqualification Last Chance Match for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship with Becky Lynch defending against Lyra Valkyria, and the Intercontinental Championship match between Dominik Mysterio and AJ Styles.
Fans wanting to watch all the action live can tune in through Peacock starting at 6 p.m. ET. The atmosphere at MetLife Stadium is expected to be electric as the WWE Universe gathers to witness the culmination of storylines and rivalries that have been building all year.
SummerSlam 2025 Night Two promises a mix of technical wrestling, dramatic storytelling, and breathtaking stunts that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Whether you are a casual fan or a dedicated follower, this event is shaping up to be one of the must-watch wrestling nights of the year.
