WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night 2: Match card, start time, and how to watch as Cody Rhodes faces John Cena
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.
Cage, TLC, and Classic Grudge matches light up the card
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.
WWE Tag Team Titles (TLC Match): Wyatt Sicks (c) vs 5 Challengers
In a chaotic six-team TLC match, the Wyatt Sicks defend their titles against top-tier teams including Andrade & Rey Fenix, DIY, and the Street Profits. Expect bodies flying and ladders crashing in this high-stakes brawl.

When Did WWE Legal Clear Brock Lesnar For His Return At SummerSlam? Revealed
Last Updated: Brock Lesnar returned to WWE at SummerSlam 2025 after a two-year hiatus due to legal issues, setting up a potential feud with John Cena during Cena's farewell tour. Brock Lesnar has made a spectacular return to WWE, ending his two-year hiatus in dramatic fashion at the conclusion of SummerSlam 2025. Known as 'The Beast Incarnate," Lesnar had been away from the ring due to his involvement in the Janel Grant–Vince McMahon lawsuit. Now that the legal matters are resolved, Lesnar is back in WWE storylines, sparking significant excitement. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio reported that Lesnar was legally cleared to return by WWE about four weeks before his SummerSlam comeback. Meltzer stated, 'Four weeks ago, WWE Legal cleared him (Brock Lesnar)" and noted that WWE avoided press conferences to keep his return a secret. Lesnar's last WWE appearance was at SummerSlam 2023, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. Appropriately, he made his comeback just as Rhodes defeated John Cena in a brutal Street Fight to win the Undisputed WWE Championship on Night 2 of SummerSlam 2025. As Cena stood alone, Lesnar's entrance music played, stunning the crowd. He entered the ring and delivered a devastating F-5 to Cena, setting the stage for a high-profile feud. Triple H later revealed that Cena specifically requested to work with Lesnar during his farewell tour. A Lesnar vs. Cena showdown now seems likely to be his first major programme. However, Cena is not the only potential target. In January 2024, former WWE employee Janel Grant sued McMahon, alleging that the wrestling company's founder was involved in sex trafficking and subjected her to sexual acts characterised by 'extreme cruelty and degradation." The lawsuit also mentions Lesnar, alleging that McMahon offered Grant to him for sexual encounters. A spokesperson told USA TODAY Sports that Lesnar's return is an 'attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug." 'For far too long, abuse was allowed to thrive under WWE's leadership. Instead of addressing this issue, WWE has done nothing to hold those responsible accountable. This attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug will backfire," the spokesperson said. 'We look forward to the full set of facts, including those concerning Mr. Lesnar, being revealed in a court of law where they belong." view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
