Cardi B is coming to SummerSlam.

The chart-topping rapper and Bronx native has been announced as the official host of WWE SummerSlam 2025, which will take place Saturday, August 2 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This will also mark the first time SummerSlam is expanded to two nights, adding even more spectacle to WWE’s second-biggest event of the year. Tickets for the event go on sale Friday, May 10, via Ticketmaster.

This isn’t just another celebrity booking. Cardi B has been vocal for years about her childhood love of professional wrestling. In past interviews, she’s cited Eddie Guerrero, Booker T, Batista, Triple H, Edge, Lita, Kane, and The Undertaker as some of her favorites growing up. Her social media has been littered with WWE references over the years, and in 2021, she briefly trended alongside Raw when fans mistakenly thought she was making an appearance.

Now, she’s officially part of the WWE Universe in a big way, and doing it in her own backyard. SummerSlam 2025 at MetLife is expected to be one of WWE’s biggest shows of the year, and with Cardi on hosting duties, there’s no doubt it’ll come with some unforgettable moments.
