WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night 1 Quick Highlights: List of All Winners, Top Performers, and More
SummerSlam Night 1 (Image via WWE) 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.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 (August 02, 2025) Results: Seth Rollins destroys CM Punk's dreams pulling huge ruse to win the World title
Image via WWE The Best in the World, CM Punk returned to WWE SummerSlam for the second time since making his return to WWE in 2023. He fought against the dominant Ring General, Gunther, with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line. The epic main event showdown was a sight to witness at the first-ever two-night SummerSlam event. However, as the dust settled on SummerSlam, it was the ultimate heist pulled by his arch-rival, Seth Rollins , who arrived and took away all of Punk's dreams at the Biggest Party of the Summer. Seth Rollins took away CM Punk's moment of glory at WWE SummerSlam 2025 CM Punk and Gunther began with a series of lock-ups and punches to establish early dominance. As the match started to pick up pace, Gunther began to gain the upper hand on the Second City Saint. However, Punk came back with his series of moves, showcasing his veteran status on The Ring General. He came back on multiple occasions, realising the high stakes of the bout; however, Gunther himself did not back down from the former WWE Champion. The match was an amazing display of in-ring action and went outside the squared circle. Moreover, a spot at the announcer's desk saw Gunther being busted open and covered in his own blood for the first time in his career. Despite that, he tried to lock in the sleeper hold, but Punk countered it. With Gunther wobbling on his feet, CM Punk took the opportunity to connect with two GTS and cover him for the three count to win the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time in over a decade in WWE. Just as Punk was celebrating his title win, Seth Rollins' music hit, and he made his appearance on the ramp in clutches with Paul Heyman holding his Money in the Bank briefcase. He walked back, only to drop his clutches, shock the fans, and charge towards the ring. He took out Punk and cashed in his contract, connecting with a thunderous Stomp and snatching the World title from his heated rival, outsmarting everyone who thought he was injured.
