WWE SummerSlam 2025: From Seth Rollins to Logan Paul, full list of winners
The Night 1 of WWE SummerSlam 2025 attracted large crowds at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The SummerSlam is a two-night event for the first time ever and the the first night saw an audience of 53,161 inside the arena. There were six matches set for the night, which were cheered on by the fans. The crowed chanted for The OTC and booed Logan Paul. The main event of the night featured CM Punk vs. GUNTHER that everyone was waiting for. With Cardi B hosting the big event, it started off with a bang. The opening for the night was a tag team match between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso, who faced off against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. The aggressive match saw the four stars at each other's throats throats as soon as the bell rang. While Reigns missed a chunk of the action at the beginning, he finally got tagged in. The match went on for over 21 minutes, with Reigns and Uso emerging as the women's Tag Team Championship Match saw Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez take on Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. It featured power-packed performances from the beginning Bliss and Flair were always the crowd favorite with their reluctant partnership act but it was not enough to overcome the veterans. The match ended with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss becoming the new WWE Women's Tag Team champions. The first single's match was between Sami Zayn and Karrion Kross. The match see-sawed the duration. And it would not 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 Stratton faced Jade Cargill in the shorted match of the night, which finished in just over seven minutes. However, 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. Stratton showed Cargill why she is the reigning champion and retained her belt. This high octane match began even before the bell rang as 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. He, howeevr, came in to help his partner, Randy Orton. Unfortunately, it didn't work for long, as the match ended with Roll taking the biggest event of SummerSlam Night 1 saw CM Punk and GUNTHER facing off for the third title match of the night. GUNTHER was not going to have Punk take the world championship away from him that easily. The match went on for 30 minutes before CM Punk finally emerged as the winner and the new World Heavyweight Champion of Punk was in tears after winning the title. Seth Rollins walked in with Paul Heyman, who still had his Money in the Bank briefcase. In a dramatic move, Rollins, rushed in after throwing away his crutches and taking off his leg brace. It was too easy to pin an exhausted Punk, making Seth Rollins the newest World Heavyweight Champion of WWE.
