There was already one night of wild action. Who’s ready for another one?

WWE SummerSlam 2025 will cap off its double-day event on Sunday, Aug. 3, and it’s shaping up to be a massive night with heavy consequences on the business. All six matches scheduled will be for championships. 

Not only is gold on the line the entire night, but plenty of chaos is on deck too. Tables, ladders and chairs will be involved in the highly anticipated six-team tag team match, and the Women’s Intercontinental Championship won’t have any disqualifications. To end the night, it will be a WrestleMania 41 rematch between John Cena and Cody Rhodes, and it’ll be a street fight where anything goes.

It’s shaping up to be one of the biggest slates of 2025.

Six-team tables, ladders and chairs match for WWE Tag Team Championship

Given how much havoc The Wyatt Sicks have caused, the five challenging teams targeted Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis out of the gate before turning attention to each other. From there, the chaos began with bodies flying all around the ring and weapons being used to deliver some hard blows. The Street Profits and the team of Andrade and Rey Fenix had some of the early top moments.

The first attempts to climb the ladder were unsuccessful as the momentum rotated between all of the teams, and the hits only got harder. Johnny Gargano delivered a spinning DDT to Gacy to start a chain reaction of high-risk flies, capped by Axiom executing a Spanish Fly of Angelo Dawkins in a spectacular sequence.

With no disqualification, some of the teams’ partnership in Candice LeRae, B-Fab and Nikki Kross getting involved. LeRae tried to climb the ladder to help her husband’s team, but she got pushed off and fell onto another ladder out of the ring in a stunning spot.

Erick Rowan then got in the mix to stop The Street Profits, but the veteran team was ready to deal with the major force. Tommaso Ciampa climbed the ladder and had his hands on the titles, but the ladder was moved and he was left hanging onto it. Nathan Frazer tried to knock him down but the core strength of Ciampa helped him avoid it while still hanging.

There was a scramble on top of two ladders until Uncle Howdy came and pushed everyone off, sending #DIY through a stack of tables out of the ring. Nathan Frazer received a mandible claw from the leader of The Wyatt Sicks, and Andrade came and delivered a sunset powerbomb to Uncle Howdy.

Rey Fenix was alone but the reigning champions came back in and handled him. Gacy and Lumis were all alone and Gacy climbed the ladder to retrieve the titles and keep the gold with The Wyatt Sicks.

Women’s World Championship match: Naomi (c) vs. Iyo Sky vs. Rhea Ripley

The champion wasn’t interested in getting involved at the start, but the challengers forced her into action and formed a brief alliance. It backfired quickly when Ripley inadvertently delivered a boot to Sky, allowing Naomi to get the upper hand. It didn’t matter which star was in front of her, Naomi was putting on a clinic.

Feeling the momentum, Naomi started to taunt Sky and that’s when it didn’t work in her favor. Sky and Ripley teamed up again to attack the champion, and the challengers celebrated with Sky’s signature emote. They threw Naomi out of the ring and the two stars continued their bout from Evolution. It was a back-and-forth sequence after that with Ripley and Sky doing what they do best. While that was going on, Naomi was breaking up pinfall attempts.

Sky was rolling after she took out the competition with a springboard fly out of the ring and she readied the Over the Moonsault, but Ripley tripped her up. Naomi brought Ripley down and was in the process of a pin while Sky came flying down for her finisher. Naomi recognized it and moved out of the way to let Ripley take the hit. She tried a roll-up on Sky that nearly worked. The champion delivered a flying knee to Sky, but turned around and was given a Riptide by Ripley. The title was ready to change hands until Sky came in to break the count as all the stars laid on the mat.

Ripley and Sky were the first to their feet as they traded shots and the action went out of the ring. Ripley landed a dive on Naomi, and Sky turned a powerbomb of Ripley onto Naomi. Sky tried to bring Ripley in the ring for her finisher, only for Sky to once again meet her on the top turnbuckle. She landed an avalanche Riptide and tried to pin Sky. However, Naomi ran in just in time and rolled up Ripley. It caught her off guard, and the referee counted to three as Naomi retained her title.

Analysis: The women kick off another premium live event and again they set the bar high for the rest of the night. It’s a given when Sky and Ripley are in the ring it’s going to be a banger, the question was how would Naomi fit into it. The challengers did a great job continuing to show the respect and admiration they have for each other, while remembering at the end of the day, it’s about getting the gold. Naomi blended into the match in being a common enemy, and she definitely showed she belonged in there.

While Sky and Ripley have put on performance recently worthy of titles, it’s too early to take the gold off Naomi. This has been such a hot run for her, and she deserves to see this get played out for at least a few months. The sneaky victory keeps the door open for Sky or Ripley to continue to challenge for the championship, which is likely the next step in Naomi’s growth in solidifying her reign with one-on-one victory.

WWE makes SummerSlam two nights

For the first time in its 38-year history, SummerSlam takes place on two nights.

WWE first announced the decision for the 2026 event in Minneapolis, with it joining WrestleMania as the company’s two-day extravaganzas. But in September 2024, WWE said the 2025 edition in New Jersey would be a double-night event, kickstarting the timeline early.

With SummerSlam taking over Saturday and Sunday, it allows WWE to have more matches spread across the event rather than only having less than 10. In 2024, SummerSlam had just seven matches, and in 2025, it will have 12.

SummerSlam returns to New York area

It’s another SummerSlam in the New York area as it will be the fourth time it takes place in East Rutherford. Counting New Jersey and New York, the area has hosted 10 SummerSlam’s already, the most of any city. 

The inaugural one took place in 1988, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and was last in the area in 2018 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
