Cardi B and WWE said she would be hosting SummerSlam shortly before WrestleMania 41. The Grammy-winning rapper might compete at the upscale live event, according to The Game's response when Billboard questioned WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque a few weeks later:"Let me begin by saying that I'm not sure whether anyone has influence over Cardi B. I believe it will be difficult to persuade her to change her mind if she so chooses. What can we anticipate after that? Who knows? The only thing I know about Cardi is that she will do everything she sets her mind to.However, WWE hasn't recently promoted Cardi's attendance at SummerSlam.Some even questioned whether plans for her to host had fallen through, given that the two-day event in New Jersey was only a few weeks away and that another well-known performer, Jelly Roll, was receiving a lot of attention.However, compared to a few days ago, there are fewer questions now. This is due to Cardi's social media activity, where we discovered her early passion for WWE, her interactions with Triple H, and the potential for her to set up some angles for the PLE.Cardi was not even mentioned by former US champion Chelsea Green in a post that compared her to Michael Jordan, but B discovered it and removed the comparison:https://x.com/iamcardib/status/1945938258300465386?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1945938258300465386%7Ctwgr%5Ec051052807ed44c70bb4e9c9a10ba41874923dd4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cagesideseats.com%2Fwwe%2F2025%2F7%2F19%2F24470431%2Fcardi-b-wwe-summerslam-online-feuds-naomi-chelsea-bayley-tease-in-ring-triple-h-bianca-jadeCardi responded to Green's outraged response by promoting the newest single from her new album, which may have also explained why she hasn't been working with WWE up to this point (her eagerly anticipated second album, Am I The Drama?, is out in September):https://x.com/iamcardib/status/1945980746687987926?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1945980746687987926%7Ctwgr%5Ec051052807ed44c70bb4e9c9a10ba41874923dd4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cagesideseats.com%2Fwwe%2F2025%2F7%2F19%2F24470431%2Fcardi-b-wwe-summerslam-online-feuds-naomi-chelsea-bayley-tease-in-ring-triple-h-bianca-jadeB's reaction to the poster for Naomi's defense against Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY at the Biggest Party of the Summer sparked a protracted back and forth with the new Women's World champion Naomi. The "WAP" rapper sassily reminded Naomi that she and Bianca Belair are close (presumably a strong bond formed while talking on the phone during last fall's SummerSlam announcement video) after the champion returned with praise... and a warning.https://x.com/iamcardib/status/1945922010246180999?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1945922010246180999%7Ctwgr%5Ec051052807ed44c70bb4e9c9a10ba41874923dd4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cagesideseats.com%2Fwwe%2F2025%2F7%2F19%2F24470431%2Fcardi-b-wwe-summerslam-online-feuds-naomi-chelsea-bayley-tease-in-ring-triple-h-bianca-jadeCardi claimed she was calling The EST to catch up on the drama, and Bianca reportedly gave her approval. Naomi, meanwhile, is reportedly a part of the Bardi Gang, and she was upset about her idol's feud. B returned by threatening to contact Naomi's other ex-friend who is now her enemy:https://x.com/iamcardib/status/1945939823476264998?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1945939823476264998%7Ctwgr%5Ec051052807ed44c70bb4e9c9a10ba41874923dd4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cagesideseats.com%2Fwwe%2F2025%2F7%2F19%2F24470431%2Fcardi-b-wwe-summerslam-online-feuds-naomi-chelsea-bayley-tease-in-ring-triple-h-bianca-jadeAdditionally, Cardi intensified after Naomi appeared to leave the Gang:A fan suggested that she train with one of our biggest celebrities who is now a wrestler as a result of that.Then Cardi reposted a video of Triple H giving a press conference quote that was similar to the one he provided to Billboard after an aggregator posted it, along with a message for WWE's head booker:At that point, Bayley jumped in, offering to work with B and jokingly pointing out her own status for SummerSlam. Cardi isn't down in any case, but it's unclear if she wanted to fight or assist the celebrity.

The moment took place at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, where nearly 7,000 fans erupted as his old theme song, Get Ready to Fly, played through the arena. Styles appeared shortly after 20-year-old Leon Slater defeated Moose to win the X-Division Championship. Slater became the youngest X-Division Champion in TNA history.

AJ Styles praises Leon Slater and reflects on his past In the ring, AJ Styles praised Slater and the current state of the X-Division. He said, 'The division has a bright future with him.' Fans then chanted for 'one more match,' hoping for a return to action from the 48-year-old wrestler. Styles did not confirm any future matches, saying only, 'We'll get to that.' His return follows the multi-year partnership between WWE and TNA announced in January. This agreement has led to talent exchanges between WWE's NXT and TNA. Notably, Joe Hendry, a former TNA World Champion, appeared at both the WWE Royal Rumble and WrestleMania this year. Who is AJ Styles and why is his return celebrated? AJ Styles is one of the most respected professional wrestlers in the industry. He wrestled for TNA from 2002 to 2014, where he became the first X-Division Champion and later the company's first Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion. He held the TNA World Heavyweight Title five times and was known for his high-flying, athletic style. His match against Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniels at Unbreakable 2005 is still regarded as one of the greatest matches in professional wrestling history. Styles helped shape TNA's identity during its most important years and played a key role in the popularity of the X-Division. Before appearing at Slammiversary, Styles posted a message to fans titled 'Two Eras. One Legacy. AJ Returns.' In it, he reflected on his journey and growth as a wrestler. "If I had the ability to go back in time, I'd tell myself, 'You have no idea how far this ride's about to take you,'" Styles wrote. He added, "All the ups, the downs, the doubts, they're gonna shape you into one of the best in the world." "Don't lose that chip on your shoulder, but learn when to let go of your pride," he continued. "Stay humble, stay hungry, and trust God's timing, it's perfect, even when it doesn't feel like it. You're not just phenomenal. You're built for this." Is AJ Styles returning to TNA full-time? It is not confirmed whether Styles will continue appearing in TNA Wrestling. He is still an active WWE superstar and has not officially announced a return run. His Slammiversary appearance could be a one-time event or part of future cross-brand moments. Fans remain hopeful that AJ Styles will wrestle at least one more match in TNA. His influence on the company and the wrestling world is significant, and his presence at Slammiversary 2025 reminded fans why he is considered one of the greatest of all time.
