WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night 2: Match card, start time, and how to watch as Cody Rhodes faces John Cena
WWE brings SummerSlam 2025 to MetLife Stadium for a two-night spectacle, culminating in a fierce street fight between John Cena and Cody Rhodes.
WWE’s SummerSlam 2025 continues to break ground with the event spanning two nights at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, with more than 53,000 fans packing the arena for night one. Night two will be delivering even more chaos, featuring six title matches, including one by John Cena defending the WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes in a no-holds-barred Street Fight.
Streaming live on Peacock in the US and on Netflix internationally, Night 2 of SummerSlam 2025 promises fireworks from bell to bell.
Main Event: John Cena vs Cody Rhodes
According to a CBS report, in what could be a defining moment for WWE in 2025, Cody Rhodes will be challenging John Cena in a rematch from WrestleMania 41. Cena controversially defeated Rhodes earlier this year, igniting fan backlash and setting the stage for a high-octane Street Fight.
Cena, having seemingly shed his heel persona, has teased a return to his heroic roots. But with the championship on the line, expect both men to pull no punches: literally.

Women’s titles at stake in triple-threat and last-chance matches
Naomi vs Iyo Sky vs Rhea Ripley will be going up against each other in a triple threat match where Naomi will have to defend her title as the Women’s World Champion. Naomi, CBS report stated, is expected to retain her title through crafty strategy, likely capitalizing on Ripley’s offense to sneak in a pin.
Meanwhile, in a No DQ, No Countout ‘Last Chance’ match, Becky Lynch will face longtime rival Lyra Valkyria. With Bayley lurking and high stakes in play, Valkyria cannot challenge again if she loses. But this bout promises drama and potential betrayal, another Forbes report stated.

Locked inside a steel cage, Solo Sikoa will be battling it out with Jacob Fatu after weeks of personal vendettas for the US Championship title. However, Sikoa’s allies might interfere in the brutal showdown, the Forbes report stated.
Meanwhile, veteran AJ Styles will be taking on the sly Dominik Mysterio for the title of Intercontinental Championship. Mysterio, who dodged competition with a doctor’s note, will now have to face what Styles has in the bag. Styles is expected to reclaim gold, the CBS report added.
