The countdown to WWE SummerSlam 2025 just got a whole lot louder thanks to an unexpected clash between rap icon Cardi B and reigning Women’s World Champion Naomi.
With just weeks to go before Cardi hits the stage as the official host of the event, she found herself caught in an online back and forth with Naomi. It all kicked off on X when Cardi backed a post from WWE superfan Sign Guy, who joked about Naomi’s recent championship win. While some fans took it lightly, Naomi was not having it.
Never one to hold back, Naomi hit back with sharp words for Cardi, questioning her take and throwing shade at her upcoming host duties. The champion’s message was loud and clear. She was not here for the jokes.
Cardi, true to her signature raw energy on socials, kept the fire going. Whether she meant it seriously or was just vibing with the moment, her comments rubbed Naomi the wrong way. The tension exploded online, and by the next day the exchange was trending with fans everywhere picking sides.
Naomi now faces more than just heat on the timeline. She is set to defend her title in a triple-threat match against IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley, two fierce former champs. With the spotlight growing even brighter, this very public clash could either give Naomi extra fuel or distract her ahead of a major test in the ring.
Whether it’s real or just promo magic, one thing is clear. Cardi and Naomi have turned up the volume on SummerSlam in a way nobody saw coming.
