WWE Summerslam Night Two Review 4.8.2025.
Superstars Seen Showing Up.
Solo Sikoa, and his family. Jakub Fatu. Lyra Valkyria. Becky Lynch, and. Cody Rhodes, were all seen showing up to the Stadium.
HHH Segment.
HHH welcomed us to Summerslam, with one sentence. ARE YOU READY, and to that all I had to say was this, well, yes. I have my Crisps. I have my White Chocolate Malteasers, and i've got plenty of Pepsi Max Cherry, so yeah you could say that i'm ready.
Rhea Ripley vs Iyo Sky vs Naomi.
This was a phenomonal opener. From Naomi's Dad playing her to the ring. I had no idea that Naomi's dad was a famous musician. To Rhea wanting to eat Naomi's hand as a snack. This Match was a fascinating look at how interchangable parts counteract together. This made for a solid viewing experience, all three ladies have great chemistry. The near falls were cleverly woven together. Naomi retained by roll up over Rhea. I liked this opener, and it acted as a good metric for what was to come later on.
TLC Ladder Match For The WWE Tag Team Championships.
The Wyatt Sic, retained their Tag Team Championship, when they beat. DIY. The Street Profits. The Motorcity Machine Gunns. Fraxiom, and. Andrade, and. Rey Fenix. I have a question for you guys. What do you get when you add chaos, carnage, and. White Chocolate Malteasers going everywhere? And if you're answer is a series of head on car wrecks, then you'll be right. From insane Table spots, chair spots, and throwbacks to what WWE gave birth to 25 years ago. This was crazy. Oh and hello Candace Lerae Same about that Ladder.
Lyra Valkyria vs Becky Lynch WWE Womens IC Championship.
Before this Match started. I felt my feet got a little bit cold, so I moved over to my desk, and put on my Becky Stompers ( aka my Slippers ). This was my Match of the night. Becky's new entrance music sounds awesome, and it doesn't make me want to sing the words. What would you do if I sang out of tune. This was Ireland vs Ireland. Kendo Stick vs Crowbar, and all out weapon induced plunder, with a cameo from Bayley. This Match was magic, and the best one from their feud. Becky retained, and Now Lyra can't compete for the belt, whilst Becky is still Champion.
Steel Cage Match Solo Sikoa vs Jakub Fatu WWE Mens United States Championship.
I didn't like this. Yes, both managed to hit the storybeats that was needed, but overall this felt predictable, and overbooked. Solo retained as a result of one of the flattest finishes in recent memory, but at least Jakub got to get revenge on his former family members, that moonsault looked awesome.
Dominik Mysterio vs AJ Styles WWE Intercontinental Championship.
From lowriders, boot stuff, and a whole load of lying, cheating, and, stealing. I had fun watching this, even if the in-ring work fell short of the mark. In November it will be 20 years since we lost Eddie Guererro, we're has the time gone. Don retained in what was a decent outing.
Stephanie Mcmahon Segment.
Stephanie Mcmahon came out and told us the attendence for both nights. Night 2 was attended by 60.000 fans. Which means over the weekend over 113.000 fans attended over both nights, which has left me feeling baffled, because Michael Cole called this into question earlier in the evening. So yeah I smell bs.
John Cena vs Cody Rhodes WWE Championship Street Fight.
This was a fascinating look, at what a study in contrast looks like. From words of Cody's father bleading into his entrance, whilst John walked out to his old theme, cementing himself as the Million Dollar, Multicoloured Cash Cow. From flying steps. Both men having chair wars. Cody giving John a Piledriver. John and Cody giving fans a cool image to remember them by, and the announcer table spots being performed with ease, the final exchanges were solid, as both men kicked out each others finishing moves on three occassions, this led to Cody regaining his pride, and winning back his championship. My issues with the Match. Did I enjoy this Match, yes, but It fell into the modern day gripe of how Street Fights are portrayed. Gone are the days of Cactus Jack and HHH having a bloodbath, and 25 years later in it's place is this, a watered down form of violence, that some would argue is needed, but to me. I think we need to see shades of the old school come back into the WWE fold. Fans chanted Thank You Cena, and then it happened. A chyming guitar riff echoed around Metlife Stadium, and he was back. Brock Lesnar had returned. He staired John down, and gave him an F5 to take the show off the air. I was left feeling bemused by this. Brock's name in 2025 has a massive asterix against it. in January of 2024, he was named in the Janelle Grant lawsuit against WWE. Vince Mcmahon, and John Laurenitis 44 times for alledged misconduct. I just need to mention that Brock hasn't done anything illegal, as the big questions are mainly surfacing around what he may, or may not have known, when it came to his involvement. It has been rumoured that Brock didn't go to the meet up, but this still leaves me feeling divided. I'm not going to say how others should feel, because this is a pressing issue, all I can say is that WWE need to heed with heavy caution. Vince's actions towards women were disgusting.
Overview Of Summerslam Night 2.
This has been a very conflicting second half to the weekend. A disapointing United States championship Cage Match, and a return that has left fans feeling divided, is just part of how this night played out, in terms of the in-ring work, it was solid, but the return of Brock Lesnar has left a mark on this weekend that wasn't needed.
WWE Summerslam 2025 Night 2 Is a solid 8/10 for in ring action alone.
