Cardi B Announced as Host for WWE SummerSlam 2025 at MetLife Stadium

SummerSlam 2025 just got a serious dose of star power.

During the April 18 episode of WWE SmackDown, the company officially announced that Cardi B will serve as the host of WWE’s first-ever two-night SummerSlam event, going down August 2 and 3 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The big reveal came during the second hour of SmackDown with a flashy video package hyping her role.

In true Cardi fashion, she had a warning for everyone heading into the biggest party of the summer: “Nobody better try me.”

With Cardi B locked in as the event’s host, WWE is doubling down on its commitment to making SummerSlam feel like a massive crossover spectacle. Her appearance is expected to bring a ton of mainstream attention—and possibly more chaos—to the already loaded weekend.

Tickets for the two-night SummerSlam combo go on sale Friday, May 2 at 10 AM ET via Ticketmaster. Fans can jump in early with the Chase Freedom presale starting April 29, while general presale kicks off April 30. WWE is also offering exclusive SummerSlam Priority Passes through On Location, which include premium seating, Superstar meet-and-greets, and more.

Cardi B has made her love for wrestling known for years—now she’s taking center stage at WWE’s biggest summer event. What kind of chaos will she bring to MetLife?
