WWE SummerSlam 2025 Results As Naomi Wins With Sneaky Pin On Rhea Ripley
WWE SummerSlam 2025 marked another massive women's triple threat match, this time with Naomi defending her recently won Women's World Championship against Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. Many fans will recall the epic show-opening triple threat match at WrestleMania 41, where Sky pulled off the shocking upset against Ripley and Bianca Belair, arguably the two biggest stars in WWE's stacked women's division. This time around in MetLife Stadium, Naomi, fresh off an unforgettable cash-in at WWE Evolution, entered as champion just a few weeks after her title win. In many ways, Naomi, not always pushed as a top star, showed up in East Rutherford, New Jersey as the underdog, despite being the titleholder. No surprise here: Naomi, Ripley and Sky delivered yet another fantastic triple threat match to kick off WWE SummerSlam Saturday, but only one star could leave SummerSlam as Women's World Champion. WWE SummerSlam 2025 Results for Naomi vs. Iyo Sky vs. Rhea Ripley? Naomi didn't have an easy path to a win at WWE SummerSlam, but guess what? She won anyway. The former fan favorite-turned-villain followed up her career-defining title win at Evolution with another one inside MetLife Stadium. Naomi was able to pin Ripley with a sneak roll-up to cap off an incredible triple threat match that continued an undeniable hot streak of stellar women's title matches. Some of the biggest moments in SummerSlam's triple threat match for the Women's World title included: While WWE easily could have transitioned the title onto Ripley for a second time this year, Naomi was able to maintain her momentum with another signature win, one that protected both Sky and Ripley. WWE SummerSlam 2025 Results: What's Next for Naomi, Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley? Naomi's next stop is just four weeks away. Her next challenger for the Women's World Championship is Stephanie Vaquer, who is the No. 1 contender for the title after winning a stacked battle royal at last month's Evolution. Although Naomi has only been champion for a cup of coffee, WWE is reportedly planning a massive push for Vaquer with the intent of making her a cornerstone of Monday Night Raw. Indeed, Vaquer, in a matter of mere months, has already become one of the company's most popular stars, and the first step of her sizable push came with that battle royal win at Evolution. It wouldn't be at all surprising to see Vaquer defeat Naomi at Clash in Paris on Aug. 31 or for that match to end with a controversial finish that extends the feud. Either way, Naomi's time as champion could already be coming to an end because Vaquer is the fastest-rising babyface in the women's division. WWE will need to strike while the iron is hot. Where Naomi's feud with Vaquer will leave Ripley and Sky isn't as clear, but the stage is set for one final match between Ripley and Sky. As two of WWE's most popular babyfaces, Ripley and Sky have a healthy respect for one another, but Ripley is still yet to beat Sky in singles action. Given the way Ripley lost at SummerSlam, it's clear that WWE wanted the biggest star in the women's division to look good even in defeat. That seemingly will lead to Ripley vs. Sky at some point in the weeks ahead, and after yet another loss in a match involving Sky at WWE SummerSlam, Ripley is going to have to get her win back at some point.

WWE SummerSlam Night 2 live results: Updates, winners and losers, highlights, grades and analysis
WWE SummerSlam Night 2 closes out WWE SummerSlam 2025 weekend with a bang, ending the two-night extravaganza with a stacked card on Sunday evening at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. After a busy Night 1, the momentum only ramps up more for the second half of the festivities. Sunday's card features six title matches, with all but two featuring extra stipulations. The hotly-anticipated main event rematch between Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena and former champion Cody Rhodes takes place under "Street Fight" rules. The last time Cena and Rhodes met was at WrestleMania 41 in April, when Cena dethroned Rhodes in his first match as a heel. Cena appeared to turn back to his classic babyface ways on this past Friday's "WWE SmackDown," however the question remains whether Cena's words were sincere or simply another ruse to distract Rhodes all over again. The Women's World title will once more be contested in a triple-threat match, as new champion Naomi defends against two of the former champions involved in this year's WrestleMania classic, Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley. They won't be the only women competing for gold though, as Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria battle it out in their bad-blood trilogy for Lynch's Intercontinental crown. There will be no DQs and no count-outs in that one, and if Valkyria loses, she'll be unable to ever challenge for the title again. Men's Intercontinental Champion Dominick Mysterio also be defends his belt against former champ AJ Styles after weeks of shenanigans on "WWE Raw." Then, rounding out the chaos, United States Champion Solo Sikoa will be locked in a Steel Cage for the latest chapter in his rivalry with Jacob Fatu. Yet all of these matches will surely pale in comparison to the WWE Tag Team title match. It will be Tables, Ladders and Chairs when the champions, The Wyatt Sicks, look to overcome five other teams. Here's a look at Saturday's full WWE SummerSlam Night 2 match card, which kicks off at 6 p.m. ET on Peacock: Undisputed WWE Championship, Street Fight: John Cena (c.) vs. Cody Rhodes Women's World Championship: Naomi (c.) vs. Iyo Sky vs. Rhea Ripley Intercontinental Championship: Dominick Mysterio (c.) vs. AJ Styles United States Championship, Steel Cage match: Solo Sikoa (c.) vs. Jacob Fatu Women's Intercontinental Championship, No DQ match: Becky Lynch (c.) vs. Lyra Valkyria WWE Tag Team Championship, TLC match: The Wyatt Sicks (Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy) (c.) vs. Andrade and Rey Fenix vs. #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) vs. Fraxiom (Axiom and Nathan Frazer) vs. Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Saban) vs. The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) Follow all of the action from SummerSlam Night 2 with Uncrowned's live coverage below:
