EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ — Dominican-American rapper Cardi B may be poised to make history once again, this time inside the WWE squared circle. While announced as the official host of SummerSlam 2025, her actual participation remains unconfirmed by the company just days before the event scheduled for August 2-3 at MetLife Stadium.
Key Developments: Heated Rivalry Brewing: Chelsea Green issued a direct challenge to Cardi B after comparing herself to Michael Jordan. The rapper’s sarcastic response has fueled speculation about a potential confrontation at the event.

Dominican Legacy Continues: Cardi B would not be the first Dominican to leave her mark on SummerSlam. Fellow Dominican artist Kat DeLuna previously contributed the official theme song for the 2008 event, “Whine Up,” establishing a precedent for Dominican representation in WWE. Should she step inside the squared circle, Cardi would join former WWE superstar No Way Jose and Marti Belle, as Dominicans who have wrestled.
Cultural Icon Status: The Grammy-winning artist has dominated global charts with hits like “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It” while serving as an influential voice on social issues. Her potential SummerSlam appearance would represent another milestone for Dominican visibility on international platforms.
Star-Studded Weekend: The two-night spectacular will feature marquee matches including John Cena versus Cody Rhodes and a triple threat between Naomi, Iyo Sky, and Rhea Ripley. Other celebrities like Jelly Roll are also expected to participate in what promises to be a historic card.
Behind the Scenes: Despite WWE’s silence on specifics, wrestling insider sources including Fightful maintain that plans involving Cardi remain active. The question lingers whether Belcalis Almánzar will step beyond her hosting duties into physical action.
About the Artist
Born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar on October 11, 1992, in New York City, Cardi B is a United States rapper of Dominican and Trinidadian heritage. She gained initial recognition through social media and the reality series Love & Hip Hop: New York before transforming the music industry with her unfiltered, direct approach. Her 2018 debut album Invasion of Privacy made her the first solo female rapper to win a Grammy for Best Rap Album. She holds the record for most Billboard Hot 100 number-one hits among female rappers and remains the only female rapper with multiple RIAA diamond-certified tracks. Beyond music, she has expanded into film, television, and fashion, cementing her status as a global pop culture force. Her sophomore album Am I the Drama? is set for September 2025 release.
From the Bronx to El Cibao, Cardi B continues proving that Dominican culture knows no boundaries. Her presence at SummerSlam 2025 could mark another victory for Dominican representation in global entertainment.
