Cardi B is poised to step into a whole new arena this year as she takes center stage at WWE SummerSlam 2025. This event marks a significant milestone, not just for Cardi but also for WWE, as it will be the first time SummerSlam spans two nights, scheduled for August 2 and 3 at MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey. Cardi B's passion for wrestling, paired with her vibrant personality, promises an exciting mashup between the worlds of hip-hop and professional wrestling.

Cardi B, known for her outspoken persona and infectious energy, excitedly announced her role on WWE's X account, succinctly stating, “What’s up, WWE universe? Guess what? SummerSlam. MetLife. Two nights. And I will finally be hosting. And nobody better try me.” Known for her love of wrestling, Cardi’s hosting debut is a move eagerly anticipated by both her fans and WWE enthusiasts. Wearing an Eddie Guerrero T-shirt in the promotional video, Cardi paid tribute to one of her wrestling idols, adding a personal touch to the announcement and heightening expectations for her performance.

This collaboration between Cardi B and WWE is not entirely unexpected. Cardi has previously expressed her desire to engage with WWE, aspiring to either perform on a show or engage in an iconic wrestling smackdown. Her planned involvement in SummerSlam 2021 was thwarted due to her pregnancy, but her influence was felt as her song “Up” served as the event's official theme that year. This history underscores Cardi's long-standing desire to be part of this vibrant wrestling spectacle, making her 2025 hosting role a fitting stage for her fiery charisma.

The anticipation surrounding SummerSlam 2025 is amplified by its historical two-night run, a strategy previously deployed by WWE in other major events like WrestleMania. Cardi B has been integral in building excitement for this extended format since last year, when she initially announced the event’s dates and its grand venue. The choice of MetLife Stadium as the event’s setting complements Cardi's bold ambitions, providing a vast, electrifying space where her dynamic personality can truly shine.

Excitement for Cardi B's debut as the SummerSlam host is matched by an intriguing parallel anticipation for her long-awaited sophomore album, which follows her highly successful 2018 release, Invasion of Privacy. Cardi’s latest music endeavors, such as her single “Toot It Up” with Pardison Fontaine and a collaboration for the Smurfs movie soundtrack, have kept fans engaged, underscoring her dominance across multiple entertainment spheres. Despite her busy schedule, Cardi assures listeners that her upcoming album will feature surprising collaborations and push creative boundaries.
