WWE SummerSlam 2025 Top Moments: Seth Rollins Cashes In, Cody Rhodes Defeats John Cena, Brock Lesnar Returns
The first-ever two-night SummerSlam is in the record books and when the smoke cleared over the weekend, the WWE world heavyweight title picture has been significantly altered as the result of one man’s complete deception and another ending the reign of the GOAT.
The main events also brought with it so much emotion in the ring, and to the WWE Universe inside MetLife Stadium which was revealed by Stephanie McMahon to have two-night attendance of 113,772.
In an odd set-up, night two, while more engrossing and entertaining than night one, went a bit overboard with four out of the six matches being no DQ in various versions: a street fight, no DQ match, cage match and TLC match. Meanwhile night 1 didn’t start firing on all cylinders till match 5 of 6.
Now below are the OMG, A-HA, Top moments of SummerSlam 2025.

THE ROLLINS RUSE
The most epic moment of all occurred in the Night 1 main event following the WWE World Heavyweight title match between Gunther and CM Punk. In what was one of CM Punk’s best matches since being back in the WWE, Punk showed his resilience as he kicked out of three of Guthner’s powerbombs and escaped a sleeper hold. As Gunther gloated, Punk was able to trip him up and throw him over the announce tahle and it opened up a gash on Gunther’s head, which we rarely see. (We later found out he has broken his nose previously and this angle was a way to write him off TV for awhile),
Back in the ring, this softened “The Ring General” up, and suddenly Punk had the upperhand with two GTS’s which put Gunther down and for the first time since 2013, CM Punk held a WWE title, something he has waited for and wanted for so long. An emotionally and physically spent Punk was reduced to tears. And just when you thought the night was over in a feel-good moment, think again. Seth Rollins theme entrance music hit!

Now accompanied by the Wiseman, Paul Heyman, it appeared Rollins (on crutches from his supposed knee injury) was taunting Punk that when he returns to in-ring action, he will come gunning for him since he is Mr. “Money in the Bank.” But hold on! Rollins turns around hobbling a bit on his crutches with his back turned and then pushes them away, take soff the knee brace, comes running down the ring, plummets Punk over the head three times with the Money in the Bank briefcase, before cashing it in, and giving one Stomp to Punk and its over. For the second time in his career, Seth Rollins has cashed in and won the World Heavyweight championship.
It all made sense because Rollins ruse had some holes in it, when no one was getting an injury update from anyone in Seth’s camp. The most recent update came from Seth himself while on the Rich Eisen talk show, where he claimed that the doctors needed the swelling to go down in his knee properly access the damage, and there was also the perfectly timed video of Seth chasing his daughter, Roux while on crutches that went viral. Well-played, Seth “Freakin’ Rollins, well-played!
CENA PASSES THE TORCH TO RHODES
In what was a superior outing than the odd and clumsy WrestleMania 41 match between John Cena and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Heavyweight Championship, the rematch was a street fight, which brought the best out of each man, and shockingly, Cena’s abrupt turn back to a babyface, after his months long heel run during his farewell tour, wasn’t an act. He actually is now back to the John Cena everyone knows and loves, so much so that Rhodes, the current face of the franchise, was boo’d.

The ring entrances were top level for this match with Cena’s black and white heel graphics turned back to technicolor and Rhodes with his iconic father, Dusty Rhodes words of encouragement emblazoned on the entrance screen. The oh-oh moment occurred when Rhodes unhooked the bottom rope and smashed Cena with a blunt metal end of it multiple times, while his face was pleading for John to stay down so he did not have to go to these lengths.
As things took a turn after an Attitude Adjustment from Cena, the American Nightmare held on with a Cody Cutter through the table that left Cena stunned on the ropes. Next, Rhodes gave the GOAT, a signature Cena salute, before pinning him and becoming the champion once again.
In the passing the torch moment, Cena lifted Cody’s hands in the air as an emotional Rhodes was fighting back tears. If you had any question on how the remaining five months of John Cena’s farewell tour would go, and that if he indeed is a bonafide babyface once again, look no further than the shocking moment when the “Beast Incarnate,” Brock Lesnar shows up on WWE programming stunning the crowd and Cena.
BROCK LESNAR RETURNS
In his cowboy look, Lesnar eventually stares down Cena, climbs in the ring and delivers an F-5. During the WWE SummerSlam post-show, Chief Content officer, Paul “Triple H” Levesque weighed-in on his reaction to Lesnar’s return, “My reaction was exactly what I thought it was gonna be, which was, if there had been a roof on this place, it wouldn’t be here anymore. The dynamic in the room in WWE changes when The Beast is here. Seeing Brock Lesnar come back, anything that you thought was happening sort of all goes out the window because the factor of Brock now just changes that dynamic so incredibly. It makes it unpredictable.”

However, the WWE Universe is a bit confused that Lesnar is back at all. It was the first time in two years since his name was famously revealed as part of the civil lawsuit against Vince McMahon. Lesnar’s merchandise was even removed by Shop WWE.com a few years back over allegations that Janelle Grant was supposed to make “personalized sexual content” for Brock, and that McMahon flew Lesnar to meet her for a sexual encounter that never happened.
PAUL AND ROLL
\The social media provocateur has a new nemesis the leaned out Country/pop music superstar, Jelly Roll. In a shocker, this match in which Logan Paul teamed with Drew McIntrye against Jelly Roll and Randy Orton was very entertaining and we have to say Paul is such the real deal and that viral moment leap frogging so high in the air and crashing down on Jelly Roll who took the bump will be forever etched in our minds.

In the end, and in the twist, Logan Paul pinned Jelly, not as once would anticipate the good guy would get back at the bully, but this sets things up down the line and also served to prop up Paul who is “Prime” ready for a title run.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy is Shaken to the Core, ‘Oh My God! I’m Pregnant!’

On today’s Thursday, September 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovers she’s pregnant, after taking a home pregnancy test, that will launch a new story arc that will remain front and center for the show in the months ahead.
The life-changing story kicks off the B&B’s 40th season which officially began on September 8. In it, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the biological father of Steffy’s unborn child from their drunken night together when both endured turbulent times in their marriages.
Previously, Carter had trouble with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), when she initially walked out on him, because she could not carrying his child. Meanwhile, Steffy broke up with Finn (Tanner Novlan) while in Monaco over Finn’s mother Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) showing up, who once tried to kill her.

Courtesy/CBS
Fast-forward, Carter and Steffy made a pact that no one will ever need to know about their drunken night together, but now with Steffy becoming pregnant it changes everything. Making matters all the worse, Daphne views Steffy as her best friend, in fact, Daphne and Carter have been talking about having a child via surrogacy. While Finn had showed the couple how to start the process of finding a surrogate, Daphne felt just choosing a random person to carry Carter’s child is so impersonal. She would rather have it be someone she knows.
It does not take a scientist to predict … that somehow Steffy will carry the baby pretending to be the surrogate, when she its biological mother, and along the way, the questions become, does she keep the whole thing somehow a secret to herself? Doe Carter find out at some point? Stay tuned to see how this story reveals itself.
At its root, this is a major storyline for Wood, who has already won three Daytime Emmy Lead Actress Awards in her 18 years with The Bold and the Beautiful. In that time, her character of Steffy has experienced multiple pregnancies, given birth to two children, Kelly with Liam (Scott Clifton) as the father, and Hayes with Finn as the father, and endured a miscarriage.
So, what did you think of Steffy getting confirmation she is pregnant and looking mortified when she found out? What will she do next? Will she tell Carter? Will Daphne come to Steffy to ask her to be her surrogate, which Steffy may think will be the answers to her prayers, only for the truth to come out later, or falling in love with the baby since its hers to be begin with? Share your thoughts and theories for this major story for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, via the comment section.
