WWE held its inaugural two-night SummerSlam event at MetLife Stadium, and with such a major live show, a grand opening was essential. The event kicked off on Saturday with a special appearance by Cardi B, who made a striking entrance as a rap superstar dressed entirely in black. However, it was evident that the crowd was more focused on the event than on her.
Cardi B took the stage to announce that SummerSlam was happening live from the Tri-State area. She greeted the audience warmly and built excitement for the historic two-night format. She highlighted star matches involving Logan Paul and Randy Orton, even expressing her admiration for Orton by saying, “I love Randy Orton.” With that, she officially welcomed everyone to SummerSlam as fireworks lit up the arena, marking a strong opening to the summer’s biggest wrestling celebration.
Although Cardi B hadn’t been featured in recent SummerSlam promotions, she was included in the initial announcements of the August 2nd and 3rd event. This absence raised some doubts about her participation, especially considering the controversy surrounding her ex-boyfriend Stephen Diggs and his involvement in a drug scandal.
As the event unfolds, we’ll continue providing coverage from ringside. SummerSlam 2025 delivered a memorable Saturday night, setting the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable two-night spectacle.
Fan Take: Cardi B’s high-profile entrance adds a fresh, mainstream energy to SummerSlam, drawing more attention beyond traditional wrestling audiences. This collaboration could help WWE expand its fan base and elevate the spectacle of sports entertainment for years to come.
