WWE SummerSlam 2025 Highlights: Seth Rollins shocks, cashes in Money in the Bank on CM Punk to be crowned world champion

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: From the men, we switch on to the ladies as Alexa Bliss and Charlotte team up to take on the Judgment Day’s duo of Racquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. Alexa and Charlotte have formed a kind of friendship, even if they didn’t mean it, and the fact that they are walking to the ring together is a testament to this… unexpected… bond, if one can say

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: And that's a win for Roman and Jey. Roman took a bullet, coming in the way between Jey and Breakker's spear, but even as the Tribal Chief was hurt, it gave enough time for Jey to climb up the top rope and come splashing down on Bronson Reed to gain the pinfall.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: With Roman on the outside, Breakker smelled his chance. He took off for the spear that had helped him put out so many superstars. Only this time, Breakker wasn't aware of what it took to take Reigns out. The OTC lands a Superman Punch and then spears Brok Breakker through the barricade.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: Reigns' flurry of offence has dwindled down, as has Jey Uso, who is back getting beaten by Reed and Breakker. To make matters worse, with big Bronson Red, with his 300-plus pound body, dives through the ropes to take both Roman and Jey out.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: A tag at last, to Roman Reigns. Jey almost made the tag a little bit earlier, but a team effort from Reed and Breakker ensured they would have to wait. Roman, meanwhile, is on fire. Jumps over the top of the rope and cleans the garbage, as one would say.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: Jey Uso is getting brutalised by both Breakker and Reed. Reed trash-talks to Roman, but the Tribal Chief says he isn’t having any of it. Reed then takes his frustration out on Jey. Tags in Breakker, after which, he continues to wear down Jey. Mocks Reigns with his Roman Reigns chant. Goes for the pin, but Jey gets his shoulder up at TWO.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: Jey takes out all three remaining members of the match, including Reigns. Back in the ring, he and Breaker exchange punches before a quick turnaround, and a clothesline from Bron flattens Jey. He then goes outside and runs right through his partner, Reigns, outside the ring.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: Bronson Reed has the ‘Shoe-la-fala’ around his neck, the pair of kicks that he took from Roman Reigns during last Monday's beatdown of the Bloodline cousins. This match has started off aggressively. No tag-ins, tag-outs yet. Just plain slugfest.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: The entrance theme hits, and the crowd is on its feet. The fingers go up, and decked in white boots and fist gear is our very own Tribal Chief. Roman Reigns is here to open the show. How rare is that? This is the first time Roman will be competing in a WWE ring since losing to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41. He looks shredded, absolutely ripped. But what about ring rust? We're going to find out.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: The Grammy award winner gets the crowd up and roaring on entering the ring. "Welcome to SummerSlam," she says as the pyros go off. And with that, the visuals shift to inside the arena, where Jey Uso is about to YEET his way out from the stands. Did someone say UUSOOOOOOO?

Jey Uso has enjoyed a fabulous 2025, first winning the Royal Rumble, then claiming the World title, and now teaming up with his cousin Roman. Here he goes. As Cole aptly puts, welcome to YEET Jersey.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: And we are underway with Breland opening the act, getting things rolling. A huge round of applause followed by the jets speeding over the arena. Six matches to go. First one's coming up shortly. HERE WE GO. SummerSlam Saturday. LIVE. NOW.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: Michael Cole, the WWE's play-by-play commentator, makes his way down the aisle and takes his seat near the ring on the commentary table. Just so we are clear, Cole and Wade Barrett will be commentating on both days for all matches. Ready? Anytime now.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: Just half an hour to go. Meanwhile, the Nature Boy has wished his daughter and her tag team partner to emerge victorious tonight. Alexa Bliss made her much-awaited in-ring WWE return earlier this year, and while she has laid low, the Goddess is finally clawing her way back to the main event fold. What better start than to team up with the Queen to take on Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, representing The Judgment Day.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: As strange as it is, The Rock hasn't been on WWE TV since February at the Elimination Chamber. He was surprisingly absent on the road to and during WrestleMania, and it is all the more likely that he is giving SummerSlam a miss too. Yes, of course, the IWC is never short of theories, but if there’s one time it doesn’t make sense to have The Rock around, it’s now. So you can kiss Cody turning negative and joining forces with The Rock goodbye. It ain't happening. WWE will not have their biggest babyface turn towards the dark side just like that. There is no long-term good guy on the roster anyway, barring Reigns.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: Is the real John Cena back? John, the 17-time world champion, says he has woken up, hinting that his bad guy/heel phase is over and that he is back being a babyface. Is he, though? Doesn’t it seem a little odd that all it took for Cena was a 15-minute promo to show his back to the dark side? Nah, we don’t buy it. This has got to be a swerve. Cena may walk out with Hustle, Loyalty, Respect, but in the end, do not rule out some dirty trick for him to walk out victorious. This would add layers to his heel run.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: CM Punk fans, rejoice. Your favourite Punker may just be winning this first major singles title since 2012. Why? Because certain reports suggest that Gunther has been dealing with a nose issue, and that he may be taking some time off to get it fixed. Now, if you know professional wrestling as much as we do, this could only mean Gunther dropping the title to Punk, opening several new avenues for the Best in the World.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: Here's how Night 1 match card looks like:

- Tiffany Stratton (c) vs Jade Cargill - Singles match for the WWE Women's Championship

- Randy Orton and Jelly Roll vs. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul - Tag team match

- The Judgment Day (Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez) (c) vs Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss - Tag team match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

- Roman Reigns and Jey Uso vs Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed (with Paul Heyman) - Tag team match

- Sami Zayn vs Karrion Kross (with Scarlett) - Singles match

- Gunther (c) vs CM Punk - Singles match for World Heavyweight Championship

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: Celebrities and WWE go hand in hand. They always have. And given the recent spike in celebrities taking to the ring – Bad Bunny, Stephen Amell, Johnny Knoxville and of course, Logan Paul, it's Jelly Roll's time to take the spotlight. The singer’s beef is mostly with Logan, while Randy and McIntyre are expected to be side roles in this feud. Sure enough, Orton and Drew are likely to call most of the shots, but the limelight is around the other two. For his WWE in-ring debut, Jelly Roll has dropped oodles of weight. The singer is down by almost 200 pounds to get in ring shape.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: He hasn't mentioned his father-in-law much since Vinnie Mac got himself into trouble – he acknowledged and thanked him during his Hall of Fame speech – but Paul Levesque spoke on the fallout of the sexual assault and trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon. "All we can do is move forward, for us as a company and creative. And allegations are allegations, right? It’s a complicated relationship for anybody in life. Nobody is perfect. But accusations are made, and that’s a whole legal thing separate from what we do," he said.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates:… It’s the BEAST, Brock Lesnar. He may no longer be around the WWE after being officially named in the Janel Grant lawsuit, but it takes nothing away from the fact that Lesnar has been the Beast more at WrestleMania than ever before. In 2002, he beat The Rock to win his first WWE Championship. Then, 12 years later, in 2014, he smashed John Cena in one of the latter’s most one-sided matches ever and gave birth to the catchphrase ‘Suplex City’. In 2013, the Beast beat the Best, pinning CM Punk in a no disqualification match. He has had 12 matches at WWE SummerSlam, headlining nine of them. Safe to say, no one has a better win percentage at the PLE than the Beast.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: Just WOW! 2003 was Randy Orton's first-ever SummerSlam, just a year after he debuted on the main roster. Inside the Elimination Chamber, Orton helped his Evolution mentor and teammate Triple H to retain his title against Goldberg, whom the Game pinned last to leave the chamber victorious. Fast forward 22 years, and here he is. The Legend Killer, now a legend, is competing in his 17th SummerSlam, which takes him above The Undertaker for the most SummerSlam appearances. You bet he's going to be hearing more voices tonight that’ll be screaming Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: Simple, more attendance, more ticket sales, more matches, more runtime. And in the ring, more chaos. For the longest time, fans wondered whether any other WWE PLE, barring WrestleMania, would get a second night in a row. Well, fans asked, Triple H and the WWE listened. Not just this year, but SummerSlam will return for a two-nighter in 2026. With an attendance of 45000 expected tonight and another 51000 tomorrow, WWE SummerSlam is all set to rewrite the box office. Besides, the show has a runtime of over nine hours across the two nights. MORE WRAASSSSSLING!

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: Here it is! While it may still not be a clear vision, it looks as if the big WrestleMania 35 stage from 2019 is making a comeback. If not, something similar. The WWE, since the Raw after Mania 40, has reduced the size of their stages to accommodate more fans, and rightly so, as the product has never been this hot in the last 15-odd years. However, with the MetLife Stadium being an open stadium and not just an arena, there's no shortage of space. What do you make of this SummerSlam stage? How much would you rate it out of 10?

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: Roman Reigns and Jey Uso vs Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker to open the show. Yes, you read that right. The Tribal Chief and the YEET movement will kick off SummerSlam 2025. There’s no shortage of tension between these 4 guys. One team features an established duo – one that has won multiple titles. The other, not so much. But as their pairing with Heyman indicates, Bronson and Breakker have been put on the Fastlane. Can they wreck the more experienced team of Roman and Jey, or will the senior pros turn out to be too much for Reed and Breakker to overcome?

WWE SummerSlam 2025 LIVE Updates: There are all reasons to believe so. Since his return, Punk has yet to have a bad match. His entire feud with Seth Rollins featured one banger after another, including the Raw on Netflix main event. And as far as the Ring General is concerned, words fall short of how much legitimacy he injects into a match. Gunther has faced no one quite like Punk yet, and the same goes for the Voice of the Voiceless, too. One a brawler, the other a smart, street-fighter. If this doesn't turn out to be a five-star contender, there’s something seriously wrong.
