WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night One went down from the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, presenting the first two-night edition of SummerSlam in the event’s illustrious history. The 38th annual edition of the WWE premium live event named Cardi B as the host, who kicked off the show and hyped up the fans, running down the names scheduled to perform on the night.
Then, in the opening contest of WWE Summerslam 2025, Jey Uso & Roman Reigns defeated “Big” Bronson Reed & Bron Breakker in a tag team match. Before proceeding in the match, Jey Uso came out first through the crowd, followed by Roman Reigns, oozing his aura. Paul Heyman then accompanied Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed with the “Shoe-la Fala” that he stole on Raw from “The Tribal Thief.”
WWE Summerslam 2025 also marked the first time that The OTC competed in a match since WrestleMania 41, where Paul Heyman betrayed him. Jey and Roman did the YEET dance after the match started, allowing Bron and Reed to take control.
