WWE Summerslam 2025 will present 12 matches across both nights, with nine of them being title bouts. This would be the first time that this particular WWE premium live event is being hosted on two different nights, making it a bigger extravaganza than in earlier years. AJ Styles will be one of the lucky names to have himself inserted into the match card in what could be his final match at Summerslam.
For some time now, The Phenomenal One has been getting serious about retirement, and he’s putting all the stops to showcase it in a big way. During the WWE SummerSlam 2025 kickoff show, he was asked by Michael Cole about his scheduled match on the show. In reply, Styles quickly admitted that this may be the final time he wrestles at the biggest party of the summer.
“If I’m being honest with you guys, this may be my last SummerSlam. So I plan on tearing the house down one last time at SummerSlam for you guys. It’s just, it’s very important,” the former WWE Champion revealed why Summerslam is special to him. “It’s very special to me. Again, the match with John Cena set the tone for AJ Styles’ career in the WWE. So SummerSlam is very special to me.”
