From Grammy winner to Ring Leader: Cardi B announced as host of WWE SummerSlam 2025

Cardi B is officially set to storm the ring this summer.

WWE has confirmed that the rap superstar and Grammy winner will host WWE SummerSlam 2025, turning the company’s biggest summer spectacle into a full-on pop culture explosion.

In a new promotional ad that aired this week, Cardi B made the announcement herself, declaring in a video posted by WWE's official social media, “I will be hosting WWE SummerSlam 2025!”

The news sent shockwaves through both the wrestling and entertainment worlds, as the “WAP” rapper brings her unfiltered charisma and energy to one of wrestling’s most iconic events.

Cardi’s journey to the WWE stage has been a slow-burning tease.

Fans may recall that she first let the cat out of the bag about the two-night SummerSlam format during an appearance in September 2024.

Now, it’s official and she’s taking centre stage.

With WWE continuously trying to crossbreed sports entertainment and mainstream celebrity culture, Cardi B’s involvement feels like a perfect match.

Her influence spans music, fashion, and now, apparently, pro wrestling.

There are already whispers about potential in-ring moments, dramatic entrances, and maybe even a surprise scuffle or two.

However, no other detail has bee confirmed yet at this stage.

The two-night event will take place on Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3 at none other than MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

With a capacity crowd and a global audience watching, Cardi B’s hosting gig is expected to be anything but background noise.
