There’s been a reported change in the main-event spot for WWE Summerslam 2025 Night One. It appears like the earlier predicted headliner match featuring CM Punk could have moved from the spot, but the star is still optimistic about ending the night at the last.
To promote WWE SummerSlam 2025, which is scheduled for this weekend, Punk was a guest on the Good Guy/Bad Guy Podcast with UFC legends Daniel Cormier and Chael Sonnen. They asked Punk how important it would be for him to main event Saturday’s card against World Heavyweight Champion Gunther in a title match.
“Me main eventing, I think it’s important. It’s important for the title. I think it’s important for Gunther,” Punk replied, essentially suggesting the importance of headlining WWE Summerslam 2025. “I think the title should more often times than not always be featured in a main event. So, you know, I’m looking forward to not only main eventing SummerSlam but stealing the whole weekend.” (quotes courtesy Wrestling Observer)

This is the first time that SummerSlam will be spanned across two nights. MetLife Stadium in New Jersey is hosting the show this Saturday and Sunday, with John Cena and Cody Rhodes’ Street Fight for the Undisputed WWE Championship to be the headliner for Night Two of the PLE.
WWE previously advertised Punk vs. Gunther as the possible headliner for WWE Summerslam 2025 Night One, but that advertisement has since been changed. If Punk defeats Gunther, he’ll win his first WWE Championship in more than a decade. His last WWE Championship reign lasted from November 2011 through January 2013, which was the longest one at that time.
At present, it seems like WWE might have changed the main event as Roman Reigns’ tag team match will feature in that spot on WWE Summerslam 2025 Night One, instead. This comes as a result of WWE showcasing the bout on the main cover of Night One on their official website.
