As we reported yesterday here on eWn, rapper Cardi B appeared in a promo video with Bianca Belair to hype the SummerSlam 2025 pay-per-view event. The video featured both Cardi B and Belair promoting next year’s two-night event taking place in New Jersey on August 2rd and 3rd.
Fightful Select is reporting that WWE wanted to use Cardi B in 2021 for SummerSlam. At the time, they wanted to use one of her songs and have her make an appearance. She wound up getting pregnant in June of that year and the plans were put on hold. WWE also reportedly reached out to Mike Tyson and Megan Thee Stallion in 2021.
As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, WWE is seeking to use more mainstream stars for their programming and pay-per-view event announcements going forward.
