How to watch WWE Summerslam 2025: Live stream and match card for night two
WWE Summerslam night one is in the books and now attention shifts to night two as the John Cena retirement tour continues. On what will be his final Summerslam appearance, Cena faces the person he dethroned at WrestleMania 41 to become a record-breaking 17-time WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes. Only this time the stakes have been raised as Cena puts the Undisputed WWE championship on the line in a street fight. This means the pair can battle inside and out of the MetLife Stadium because this match has no disqualifications, falls count anywhere and weapons are legal. There's an argument to be made that Rhodes, to date, poses the biggest threat to Cena's title reign but the 'American Nightmare' will no doubt have to pull out all the stops to avenge his loss from less than four months ago. In addition, there are five other championship matches to whet the appetite tonight. All of which have the potential to steal the show - and quite possibly the entire weekend. The WWE United States title will be defended in a steel cage as new champion Solo Sikoa faces Jacob Fatu in a rematch from WWE Night of Champions. The odds are not in Naomi's favour as she defends her newly won Women's world championship in a triple threat match against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY. It's the last chance saloon for Lyra Valkyria because if she fails to beat Becky Lynch for the WWE Women's Intercontinental championship in a no DQ and no count-out match, she can never challenge for the title as long as Lynch is champion. Elsewhere on the card, The Wyatt Sicks defend the WWE tag team championships in a six-pack tables, ladders, and chairs (TLC) match, while AJ Styles looks to capture the WWE Intercontinental championship from Dominik Mysterio. Another huge night of wrestling awaits and here's everything you need to know about where to watch Summerslam night two unfold... How to watch WWE Summerslam 2025 night two Live stream: In the UK, night two of WWE Summerslam 2025 can be watched and streamed live on Netflix. Coverage starts at 11pm BST tonight, Sunday, August 3, 2025. A membership costs £4.99 a month and the subscription can be cancelled at any time.

New tsunami warning from Russia after Kuril Islands quake
An earthquake of 6.8 magnitude has struck Russia's Kuril Islands on Sunday morning, the German Research Center for Geosciences said, triggering a tsunami warning for the coast of Kamchatka. Russian officials predicted a tsunami wave of up to 19 centimeters (7.5 inches) affecting a section of the Kamchatka coast. "As a result of the earthquake that occurred in the Pacific Ocean, a tsunami wave no more than 19 centimeters high may reach the Aleutian municipal district, no more than 15 centimeters high may reach the Ust-Kamchatsky municipal district, and no more than 3 centimeters high may reach the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky urban district," a report by Kamchatka Tsunami Warning and Monitoring Center said. The United States Geological Survey said the earthquake was at a magnitude of 7. The Pacific Tsunami Warning System, which also gauged the quake at 7.0, said there was no tsunami warning for the island of Hawaii after the quake. Earthquakes and the Krasheninnikov eruption This is the second earthquake reported from near Russia within a week. On July 30, an 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit the region with several strong aftershocks. The second tremors of the week have come hours after the Krasheninnikov Volcano in Kamchatka erupted overnight, for the first time in 600 years. Russia's state news agency cited the head of the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team, Olga Girina saying the eruption may have been connected to the earthquake on Wedbesday that triggered tsunami warnings as far as French Polynesia and Chile.
