The announcement that WWE Summerslam 2025 might have a celebrity host was revealed in April of this year. While it was confirmed by WWE that Cardi B will feature in that role, her recent absence from WWE programming is notable, leading to the use of the term ‘possible’ in this scenario, given that the annual premium live event is just 15 days away on the calendar.
As of July 15, Cardi B hasn’t been included in any of their recent broadcasts or promotional materials for WWE SummerSlam 2025. The absence is raising eyebrows, with fans asking whether she’d be available for the show in any capacity despite the prior announcements. The original announcement video featuring Cardi B is still live on WWE’s website, adding fuel to rumors around her role.

Previously, Triple H also depicted some uncertainty around the star while speaking on the Money in the Bank post-show conference by stating the following,
“Can you see her, I don’t know if anyone can control Cardi B, let me start with that. If she wants to, I don’t think we can talk her out of it. Cardi is going to do whatever she’s going to do and you’re just hanging onto the tiger’s tail a little bit there.”
