SummerSlam (2025), also promoted as SummerSlam: New Jersey, was a upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was the 38th annual SummerSlam and took place as a two-night event on Saturday, August 2, and Sunday, August 3, 2025, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.
This marked the first SummerSlam to take place across two nights, which was previously only reserved for WrestleMania since 2020. This was 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 was the third WWE event to be held at MetLife Stadium, after WrestleMania 29 and WrestleMania 35 in 2013 and 2019, respectively. This was the fourth SummerSlam to take place in East Rutherford after the 1989, 1997, and 2007 events. The event also featured 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.
The card comprised a total of 14 matches, with seven on each night; the second night originally had six scheduled but a seventh occurred as an impromptu match after the main event. In the main event of Night 1, Gunther defeated CM Punk to win the World Heavyweight Championship. In other prominent matches, Jamie Hayter defeated Tiffany Stratton to win the WWE Women's Championship, The New Day defeated Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to win the WWE Tag Team Championship and in the opening bout, Roman Reigns and Jey Uso defeated Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
In the main event on Night 2, Cody Rhodes defeated John Cena in a Street Fight to win the WWE Championship, after which, Jay White cashed in his Money in the Bank ladder contract and defeated Rhodes to win the title. In other prominent matches, Carmelo Hayes won a triple threat match against Sheamus and Swerve Strickland to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship and in the opening bout, Amelia Lopez defeated Roxanne Perez to win the WWE Liberty Championship.
