Big expectations were set on SummerSlam 2025, and it proved to be an unpredictable weekend of wrestling in New Jersey.
The first two-day edition of WWE's premier summer event had 12 matches, and the bigger card allowed for some craziness inside MetLife Stadium. Night 1 of SummerSlam was highlighted by the shocking cash-in of Seth Rollins, while the second day featured Cody Rhodes defeating John Cena in a thriller.
There were plenty of great matches and moments from the event, but there were also some bouts that either fell flat or were confusing.
Which ones were some of the best of 2025? And which ones we'll be hoping to forget soon? Here is every SummerSlam 2025 match ranked from worst to best:
Kross has deserved a push given a rise in his popularity, and he lost to Zayn again in a match that encapsulated how most of the story had gone: underwhelming. There were plenty of avenues it could have gone but nothing really ever clicked. Zayn contemplating using the steel pipe was the only notable moment, and even that wasn't much. It's tough to argue how it benefited both sides.
