The opening matches for WWE SummerSlam 2025 have been officially announced ahead of the event scheduled for August 3rd. WWE kicked off the day with a special countdown show that revealed the lineup for the night’s bouts.
The highlight opening match for night two is a Women’s World Championship triple threat featuring Naomi defending her title against Lea Ripley and Iyo Skye. This match follows the recent WWE Evolution event where Naomi cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to snatch the championship from a match initially between Skye and Ripley.
Other key matches include Dominik Mysterio defending his Intercontinental Championship against AJ Styles, a US Championship Steel Cage showdown between champion Solo Sikoa and challenger Jacob Fatu, a women’s Intercontinental Championship bout involving Lila Valkyria, and a high-stakes six-team TLC Tag Team Championship match featuring Dexter Lumis & Joe Gacy, Fraxiom, DIY, Motor City Machine Guns, The Street Profits, and Andrade & Rey Fenix.
The previous SummerSlam night saw three title changes; Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair captured the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship from Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, while in the main event CM Punk briefly won the World Heavyweight Championship from Gunther before Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to claim it.
Fan Take: This announcement sets the stage for a thrilling SummerSlam filled with intense competition and high-stakes drama. WWE fans should be excited as these matches promise to deliver unforgettable moments that could reshape the championship landscape and elevate the sport’s excitement to new heights.
