“Well, let me answer the second part of it first. So can you see her … I don’t know if anybody can control Cardi B, let me just start with that. So if she wants to, I think it’s going to be hard to talk her out of it. And then 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 kind of just hanging on to the tiger’s tail a little bit there.”

I think, as everybody knows, she’s a big fan and has, you know, talked a lot about the business over the years and all that stuff and comments on it a lot. So when you work with people like that, it’s exciting. We’ll see, we’ll see where that goes.”

Why Cardi B is a Unique Draw for SummerSlam 2025
Cardi B’s deep-rooted connection to New York has fueled even more anticipation around her role as host. Familiar with both the energy of the local area and the broad appeal of music and entertainment, she is set to attract mainstream audiences. With her visible enthusiasm for wrestling, Cardi B brings crossover fans and widespread media interest to the event.

You know, there’s a lot of artists out there across so many different things now that are just, they’re fans and looking to come in and do things with us, and we’ll vet through them and try to figure out the ones that can do the most and be a positive for our fan base, and just help to expand the product out beyond the realm of just just wrestling fans, and get the rest of the world into what we’re doing.”
