SummerSlam 2025 Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena Street Fight Undisputed Title WWE 2K25 Gameplay

The 2025 SummerSlam, also promoted as SummerSlam: New Jersey, is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It will be the 38th annual SummerSlam and is scheduled to take place as a two-night event on Saturday, August 2, and Sunday, August 3, 2025, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and will be held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. Rapper Cardi B will serve as the hostess of the event. This will mark the first SummerSlam to take place across two nights, which was previously only reserved for WrestleMania since 2020. This will also be the first SummerSlam to broadcast on Netflix in most international markets after the WWE Network merged under the platform in January 2025 in those areas. This will subsequently be the third WWE event to be held at MetLife Stadium, after WrestleMania 29 and WrestleMania 35 in 2013 and 2019, respectively. This will also be the fourth Summerslam to take place in East Rutherford after the 1989, 1997, and 2007 events. The event will also feature John Cena's last appearance at a SummerSlam as an in-ring performer due to his retirement from professional wrestling at the end of 2025. At Night of Champions, the King and Queen of the Ring finals took place, with the winners receiving a match for the world championship of their respective brand at SummerSlam. The King of the Ring final was won by SmackDown's Cody Rhodes, while in the main event of Night of Champions, John Cena retained SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Championship; this confirmed that Rhodes would challenge Cena for the title at SummerSlam, setting up a rematch from the main event of Night 2 of WrestleMania 41 where Cena had defeated Rhodes to win the title after interference from Travis Scott. During the contract signing on the July 18 episode of SmackDown, Cena attempted to get out of signing the contract so that he would not have to face Rhodes at SummerSlam, but after a brawl, Rhodes forced him to sign it and then revealed the fine print of the contract, which was that their match would be a Street Fight. #WWE #WWE2K25 #SummerSlam #CodyRhodes #JohnCena #StreetFight
