Naomi Will Defend WWE Title at SummerSlam (And It Could Be the Best Match of 2025)

In a stunning turn of events during a contemporary masterpiece at Evolution, Naomi seized the opportunity presented by her bank contract to claim victory over Iyo Sky, thereby becoming the brand-new WWE Women’s World Champion. This moment left an indelible impression on everyone present. Immediately following her triumph, WWE announced its plans for the freshly crowned Champion, who now officially joins the Monday Night Raw roster due to her impressive victory.

Adam Pearce then addressed the WWE Universe, revealing that Naomi would defend her Championship at SummerSlam. The participants in this match promise a spectacle that could very well be the best match of 2025, given the caliber of those involved.

The event kicked off with Naomi making her grand entrance into the ring, flaunting her freshly-earned Championship title. The audience greeted her warmly and enthusiastically. Delighted by their reception, Naomi playfully silenced the ‘you deserve it’ cheers, claiming that they were unaware of her secret strategy and that she had indeed tried to give them a heads-up.

Naomi likewise took advantage of the moment to subtly criticize Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair, stating that Belair didn’t betray her, but rather surpassed her. Additionally, she lashed out at both for valuing her friendship only until it no longer served their purposes, and now that she’s at the pinnacle, she does so. Furthermore, she pointed out that she’s tired of all the drama on SmackDown and is content with currently holding gold on Raw.

Rhea Ripley was provoked to enter the ring after being interrupted by Naomi during her match with Iyo Sky. Ripley had two major goals coming into Evolution: regaining the Women’s World Championship and defeating Sky in a solo bout. However, Naomi thwarted both of those objectives, causing Ripley to add her to her list of adversaries.

Then it was Sky’s time to face off against Naomi, and an enthusiastic response from the crowd greeted Sky as they made their way to the ring together. Sky acknowledged Ripley’s respect but asserted that she needed to step back, as Sky aimed to regain her Championship from Naomi. The trio exchanged heated words until Pearce emerged, bringing news with him.

In three weeks’ time, as SummerSlam approaches, the matches must be spectacular, and Pearce acknowledged the impressive performance of Ripley and Sky at Evolution. He further mentioned that they needed to surpass themselves for SummerSlam, and he empathized with their disappointment over not being able to conclude their previous encounter. It was then that Pearce announced that a Triple Threat match would take place at SummerSlam, featuring Naomi against Ripley and Sky for the Women’s World Championship.

NAOMI, the freshly crowned Women’s World Champion, will face off against past titlists Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky at the inaugural two-day event of SummerSlam! This historic battle takes place at MetLife Stadium.
