WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night 1 Quick Highlights: List of All Winners, Top Performers, and More
Night 1 of WWE SummerSlam 2025, held at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey saw an electric crowd. For the first time in the history of the event, SummerSlam is a two-night show, and Night 1 saw an audience of 53,161 inside the arena.
There were six matches set for the night, and each one had the fans cheering for their favorites.
From chants of The OTC to boos for Logan Paul and of course, the main event of the night - CM Punk vs. GUNTHER that everyone was waiting for, the first night of the 38th edition of SummerSlam was a resounding success. With Cardi B hosting the big event, it started off with a bang. And now let's take a look at all the winners and top performers of the night.
Roman Reigns
and Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed
The opening match of the night was a tag team match between
Roman Reigns and Jey Uso
, who faced off against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. All hell broke loose from the very beginning, as the four opponents were at each other's throats as soon as the bell rang. Reigns missed a chunk of the action at the beginning, before he finally got tagged in. The match ran for over 21 minutes, with Reigns and Uso emerging as the winners.
Women's Tag Team Championship
match
Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez vs. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss was going to be an explosion of power-packed performance from the very beginning. Bliss and Flair were always the crowd favorite with their reluctant partnership act, and though the Judgment Day duo had a lot of power in them, it wasn't enough to overcome the veterans. The match ended with
Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss
becoming the new
WWE
Women's Tag Team champions.
Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross
The first singles match of the night saw
Sami Zayn and Karrion Kross
come up against each other once again. The tides kept shifting from one side to another for the whole time. And of course, it wouldn't be complete without Scarlett trying to interfere for her partner, this time with a steel pipe, and then distracting the referee. But in this match-up, Zayn managed to take the win over Kross once again after a Helluva Kick to his opponent.
WWE Women's Championship match
Tiffany Stratton vs. Jade Cargill
was the shortest match of the night, running for just a little over seven minutes.
But both women kept the momentum of the night going with their powerful performances. The current Queen of the Ring challenged Stratton for her title belt, who has yet to lose a match this year. And Stratton showed Cargill why she is the reigning champion, as she managed to retain her belt after yet another title defense.
Randy Orton and Jelly Roll vs. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul
This fight began even before the bell rang, when Logan Paul punched Jelly Roll, leading to a heated exchange between all four wrestlers. The fight was heated, with each one of them trying to gain the upper hand. Roll was almost led off the stage by officials after a splash by Paul turned way too much for the celebrity wrestler. But he came in to help his partner,
Randy Orton
.
Unfortunately, it didn't work for long, and a Claymore Kick from Drew McIntyre and a Fall From Grace frogsplash from Paul, the match ended with Roll taking the pin.
World Heavyweight Championship
The main event of SummerSlam Night 1 saw CM Punk and GUNTHER come face to face for the third title match of the night. With the World Heavyweight Championship title on the line, GUNTHER was not going to have Punk take it away from him that easily. The match continued for more than 30 minutes before CM Punk finally emerged as the winner and the new World Heavyweight Champion of WWE.
His emotions after getting the title belt and the tears spoke more than any words could. But the night is yet to end, as
Seth Rollins
walks in with Paul Heyman, who still has his Money in the Bank briefcase. But Rollins is injured, right? Well, not anymore, as he rushes in after throwing away his crutches and taking off his leg brace, and finally cashes in his MITB briefcase.
It was too easy to pin an exhausted Punk, and ladies and gentlemen, Seth Rollins is now the newest World Heavyweight Champion of WWE. The Ruse of the Century indeed. Paul Heyman looks ecstatic, and that's curtains for Night 1 of SummerSlam 2025.

Who will attend Hulk Hogan's final memorial? Family, friends, and wrestling icons expected
Professional wrestling world is getting ready for a personal goodbye to one of its most recognisable faces Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea died on July 24, 2025, at age 71 of cardiac arrest related to chronic lymphocytic leukemia and will be remembered at a privately held memorial service on Tuesday, August 5 in the Tampa–Clearwater, Florida area. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The event, which has been organized by Hogan's family, will be a final send-off for friends and family at varying degrees of separation from the late wrestling icon. Sky Daily and Brooke Hogan's strained bond takes the spotlight Hulk Hogan's immediate family will be in attendance, including his wife, Sky Daily, his daughter, Brooke Hogan, and Nick Hogan. Brooke herself has not been seen, perhaps due to some reported tension over her father's personal life and remarriage. Nick, however, has stayed largely in the public eye in his father's tributes, and will probably attend the service with his wife Tana Lea. Some notable WWE stars, some of Hulk Hogan's closest personal friends, are expected to attend the private ceremony at Clearwater. Among the legends who have offered their condolences and tales regarding Hogan as a pioneer and difference maker in the world of pro wrestling are Vince McMahon, Ric Flair, The Undertaker, Kane, Triple H, and a few more. What does Hulk Hogan's memorial service mean to the wrestling community? The memorial service, unlike a huge public gathering, is a deliberately small, intimate one, a place for those closest to Hogan to mourn and to reminisce. Emotional tributes, tales of Hogan's legacy in the sport of boxing, and prayers for the repose of his soul will likely mark the occasion. While the service has been private, fans have been paying tribute around the world. This weekend, footage of his son Nick fighting back tears went viral, while Monday Night Raw and SummerSlam recently paid tribute to his larger-than-life persona and entrance music. Also Read: While most former wrestlers have been united in awe and respect for Hogan, some have reacted to his legacy with great ambivalence, if not outright disdain. The aftershocks of Hulkamania were felt beyond the future of pro-wrestling, penetrating pop culture itself.

I've even told my husband, looking at him now, I believed I could see him make it to 85. His heart was compromised, but that surgery shouldn't have been the thing to take him out.
