WWE SummerSlam 2025 is a two-night extravanganza for the first time in the show’s storied history, and it’s kicking off with a bang on Saturday.

The event will emanate from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey and is expected to have an attendance of nearly 50,000 fans.

In addition to Punk vs. Gunther, Roman Reigns will wrestle for just the fourth time in 2025 while country singer Jelly Roll will compete in a celebrity tag team match alongside Randy Orton.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 Betting Odds for Night One (Saturday)

WWE has established some clear favorites for Night One of SummerSlam, but there are a number of matches with not-so-obvious outcomes. Below are the SummerSlam Saturday betting odds from Engine:

WWE Championship: Gunther (+170) vs. CM Punk (-260)

The X-factor here is Seth Rollins, who may or may not be legitimately injured and poised for a return at SummerSlam to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase on either Punk or Gunther.

Although Gunther only recently won back the World Heavyweight Championship and probably shouldn’t be losing again, Punk has taken plenty of big losses and badly needs a marquee win, too. It’s possible that Rollins pulls a Naomi and cashes in to make this match a triple threat, but the most likely option is that Punk narrowly defeats Gunther, perhaps with a creative pin, and Rollins cashes in on him immediately afterward.

Roman Reigns and Jey Uso (-500) vs. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed (+300)

Roman Reigns and Jey Uso are arguably WWE’s two most beloved babyfaces right now. In other words, they probably aren’t losing at SummerSlam.

The most logical reason why this is a tag team match instead of two separate singles matches is so that Reed, the least pushed star here, can take the pin in MetLife Stadium, probably after a spear from “The OTC1.”

WWE Women’s Championship: Tiffany Stratton (+300) vs. Jade Cargill (-500)

Tiffany Stratton hasn’t clicked quite as well as champion as one would have imagined, but the same is true of Jade Cargill in terms of her in-ring performances.

On one hand, Stratton isn’t as over as a fan favorite as she should be. On the other hand, neither is Cargill, and as a far as actual wrestling ability, she isn’t at the level of most of WWE’s top singles stars in the women’s division. Cargill is, however, getting a massive push after winning Queen of the Ringsignifying that she’s likely the one who will end Stratton’s underwhelming reign as WWE Women’s Champion.

Randy Orton and Jelly Roll (-400) vs. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul (+250)

An apparent late replacement for rapper Travis Scott, country music artist Jelly Roll is clearly working very hard to ensure his pairing with Randy Orton and feud with Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul goes as well as possible.

Orton is so beloved right now and performing at such a high-level that the most likely scenario is for “The Viper” to end this match with an RKO on Paul. A win for Orton and Jelly Roll will get WWE a lot of media attention, which is precisely why this match is happening to begin with.

Women’s Tag Team Championship: Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez (+300) vs. Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair (-500)

Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair were reportedly set to quickly split in time for a singles match against one another at SummerSlam until Flair herself requested that they stick together.

That’s actually worked out really well so far as the unlikely duo has gelled quite nicely and Flair is arguably more over as a babyface than she’s ever been. With Flair and Bliss having such great chemistry so quickly, WWE needs to strike while the iron is hot and crown them as champions in New Jersey.

Sami Zayn (-270) vs. Karrion Kross (+180)

WWE surprisingly booked this match for SummerSlam, giving into fan demand to see Kross more prominently featured on Raw.

Thus far, the two stars are tied at one win each, and in a rubber match like this, the babyface tends to win, especially when he’s beloved as someone like Sami Zayn, who appears to be in line for a potential world title push in the later stages of the year. With Kross’s contract status also uncertain, a win for Zayn feels like the safest bet among Saturday’s matches at WWE SummerSlam.
