Cardi B hosting and possibly wrestling at WWE SummerSlam has grabbed headlines as the rap superstar prepares to host the major WWE event at MetLife Stadium on August 2 and 3. Fans and insiders are buzzing about whether Cardi B might step beyond emceeing and actually enter the ring, prompted by hints from WWE executives.
Triple H Discusses Cardi B’s Potential in the Ring
During the post-Money in the Bank press conference, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque was questioned by Noah Reardon of Billboard Magazine about the chances of Cardi B joining the action at SummerSlam. Levesque addressed the unpredictable nature of working with such a dynamic celebrity:
“I don’t know if anybody can control Cardi B. If she wants to, it’s going to be hard to talk her out of it. What can we expect? Who the hell knows. The one thing I know about Cardi is, whatever she’s going to do is what she’s going to do, and you’re sort of hanging on to the tiger’s tail a little bit. She’s a lot of fun to work with, has been so far with this. She’s excited to do it. As everybody knows, she’s a big fan and has talked a lot about the business over the years and comments on it a lot. When you work with people like that, it’s exciting. We’ll see where that goes. We’re thrilled to be working with her. With people like Cardi, you never know”

Cardi B has spoken openly about being a wrestling fan, with admiration for stars like Triple H himself, Booker T, Batista, Eddie Guerrero, Edge, Lita, The Undertaker, and Kane. Her regular comments and support for the industry have not gone unnoticed by both fans and WWE officials alike.
WWE’s desire to collaborate with Cardi B has been ongoing for several years, showing a longstanding mutual interest. This SummerSlam marks the culmination of those efforts, bringing Cardi B’s larger-than-life personality right into the heart of one of WWE’s flagship events.
