WWE pulled off the unimaginable this year, delivering what may go down as the most electrifying Summerslam in history—and for the first time ever, it was split across two mega nights. What unfolded was a whirlwind of emotion, betrayal, redemption, and one jaw-dropping return that shook the WWE Universe to its core.
Night 1 saw CM Punk fulfill his long-awaited destiny by dethroning Gunther in a brutal, back-and-forth classic to win the World Heavyweight Championship. It was emotional. It was earned. It was... short-lived.
Because moments later, the crowd was hit with a twist straight out of a Hollywood thriller.
Seth “Freakin” Rollins, who had been off TV with a supposed knee injury, stormed the ring and cashed in his Money in the Bank contract. The injury? Completely faked. The timing? Flawless. In just 5 minutes and 10 seconds, Punk’s dream turned into a nightmare, as Rollins claimed the title and pulled off what fans are calling the “Heist of the Century 2.0.”
But Summerslam wasn’t done rewriting history.
Night 2 brought the WWE Championship Street Fight between Cody Rhodes and John Cena—an all-out war that lasted 45 exhausting minutes. Cena kicked out of multiple Cross Rhodes, Cody survived repeated F5s. Blood, tables, emotion—it was everything a main event should be.
And finally, Cody did it. He defeated Cena and reclaimed the championship he had lost months earlier at WrestleMania. The crowd roared. Cena and Rhodes embraced. Cena waved to the fans in what seemed to be his final Summerslam appearance.
Then… everything changed. Brock Lesnar’s music hit.
After nearly two years off WWE television, The Beast Incarnate returned—stormed the ring and delivered a thunderous F5 to Cena without saying a word. The message? Loud and clear.
As Cena lay motionless, Summerslam went off the air in shock.
Now, with WWE Clash in Paris scheduled for August 31, speculation is exploding. Is Cena vs Lesnar coming? Is this the beginning of one final, violent chapter between two legends?
One thing’s for sure—Summerslam 2025 didn’t just raise the bar. It broke it.
