WWE SummerSlam, also promoted as SummerSlam: New Jersey, is an ongoing professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It is the 38th annual SummerSlam and takes place as a two-night event on Saturday, August 2, and Sunday, August 3, 2025, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and is being held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. Rapper Cardi B serves as the hostess of the event.This marks the first SummerSlam to take place across two nights, which was previously only reserved for WrestleMania since 2020. This is the first SummerSlam to broadcast on Netflix in most international markets after the WWE Network merged under the platform in January 2025 in those areas. This is the third WWE event to be held at MetLife Stadium, after WrestleMania 29 and WrestleMania 35 in 2013 and 2019, respectively. This is the fourth Summerslam to take place in East Rutherford after the 1989, 1997, and 2007 events. The event will also feature John Cena's last appearance at a SummerSlam as an in-ring performer due to his retirement from professional wrestling at the end of 2025.Hosted by Ausha.

PWTorch editor Wade Keller is joined by PWTorch's Chris Adams to review WWE Smackdown with the final hype for Summerslam. They focus first at great length on the top story in the show, which is John Cena's apparently seemingly turning back babyface. They discuss an array of scenarios along with certain wording Cena used that completely undercut the potential impact of his turn and the psychology within the pro wrestling industry that leads to people not even thinking about it.They also go in depth on WWE Unreal and how there's an aspect of it that is going to unravel an aspect of WWE that WWE didn't think about or care about, and why they don't think about it or, if they do, why they mistakenly dismiss the downside.Finally, they get into the Seth Rollins potential cash-in on Saturday night and talk through a scenario where maybe it could make sense for Seth Rollins too fake his injury (although it's still, ultimately, flimsily and more likely a product of today's promoters and wrestlers caring more about "fooling fans" than telling the best, most effective and immersive stories.Scattered throughout are comments on other aspects of the show including Jelly Roll attacking a helpless little security guy and the culture of WWE that leads to everything not even thinking about how counterproductive the message is that his actions send to the narrative of the stories they try to tell in other segments.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-post-shows--3275545/support.

On this episode of Bingeworthy, host Mike DeAngelo is joined by Director Chris Weaver and Wrestling Superstar Bianca Belair to talk about “WWE Unreal,” Netflix's new docu-series that finally takes fans inside the machine behind professional wrestling. For the first time, WWE allows cameras into its most sacred spaces, including the writer's room, backstage before matches, and the constantly shifting road to WrestleMania, showing the creative chaos and real emotional toll that powers one of the most watched weekly dramas in the world.The series comes from NFL Films (“Quarterback,” “Receiver”), with Chris Weaver serving as director. Weaver didn't consider himself a die-hard wrestling fan going in, but that distance became part of the creative advantage. “I wasn't this huge fan dropping in and trying to overdo it, but our other showrunner Erik Powers is an encyclopedic fan,” Weaver said. “It was a good dynamic. I could be the outsider voice, and he could be in the weeds.”

On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, Kristian is joined by Roxy Striar and Mike Kalinowski to break down the latest in superhero news, Marvel updates, and DCU developments! First up — brand new SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY set photos have hit the internet, and they may finally confirm whether the movie takes place before or after AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY. What does this mean for the future of Tom Holland's Spider-Man and the overall MCU timeline? We dive into the theories, Easter eggs, and fan speculation surrounding the photos. Next, we talk about the highly anticipated X-Men reboot in the MCU. Reports say the new X-Men team will be "recognizably different" from previous versions. How will this affect characters like Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Magneto? Then, James Gunn confirms that the script for the DCU's Teen Titans movie doesn't exist yet — despite rumors. What does this mean for Robin, Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy, and the future of DC Studios? Plus, Peacemaker Season 2 is coming, and John Cena shares his thoughts on how the success of Superman impacts the tone and direction of the show. Will we see crossovers with Superman: Legacy? And of course, Roxy Striar delivers her weekly must-watch list in “Roxy's TV Picks,” highlighting the best of streaming, drama, and genre shows. Topics include: First Spider-Man: Brand New Day set photos reveal MCU timeline Avengers: Doomsday connection to Spider-Man X-Men MCU reboot news James Gunn updates on Teen Titans DCU project John Cena on Peacemaker Season 2 and Superman Roxy's weekly streaming & TV picks SPONSOR: RUGIET: Connect with a provider at https://www.Rugiet.com/KRISTIAN to see if a Rugiet Ready prescription is right for you.

He is the most famous pro wrestler of all time, but his death has triggered a LOT of different emotions from fans as they debate what kind of legacy he leaves behind. I have my own thoughts to share about Hogan's life... the good, the bad and the ugly, and the social media reaction to this news. You may agree, you may not agree, but I hope you will give it a listen and respect the honest, unfiltered opinion. Beyond that, I've got SUMMERSLAM 2025 predictions... thoughts on Eric Bischoff's comments on TNA soon surpassing AEW... where I think things are headed with MJF and The Hurt Syndicate and more.***Follow Solomonster on X (formerly Twitter) for news and opinion:http://x.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
