WWE made a splash with its recent announcement of SummerSlam 2025, set to take place in New Jersey over two nights, and they had a little help from superstar Cardi B. Appearing alongside Bianca Belair, Cardi helped promote the first-ever two-night SummerSlam, but this isn’t WWE’s first attempt at bringing her into the fold.
Back in the spring of 2021, WWE had high hopes of involving Cardi B in their SummerSlam event that year, according to Fightful Select. WWE aimed to use one of her hit songs as part of the event and even hoped to have her make an in-person appearance. Unfortunately, those plans were put on hold when Cardi B announced her pregnancy, forcing WWE to rethink their mainstream star collaborations for that year.
Along with Cardi B, WWE also reached out to legends like Mike Tyson and music star Megan Thee Stallion during that same period, as the company was making a concerted effort to blend mainstream celebrities with their high-profile events.
Now, with SummerSlam 2025 approaching, WWE has successfully brought Cardi B into the fold, furthering their ongoing initiative to feature more mainstream stars in their programming and Premium Live Event announcements.
As WWE continues to push the boundaries of mainstream appeal, their collaborations with celebrities like Cardi B only heighten anticipation for their major events. With SummerSlam 2025 on the horizon, fans can expect even more surprises and star power.
