Cardi B had fans scratching their heads after vanishing from all recent WWE SummerSlam promosbut it looks like shes still in the mix after all.
Back in April, WWE made a huge splash announcing that Cardi B would host the two-night SummerSlam event at MetLife Stadium on August 2 and 3. But as the weeks rolled on, WWE stopped mentioning her completely during broadcasts, leading fans to question if the partnership had quietly fallen apart.
Fightful Select cleared up the confusion in an update, reporting that despite the lack of promotion, shes still set for the SummerSlam show, with the claim that nothing has changed. WWE sources told the outlet that the company has long been making plans for the event with her in mind.
The situation got murky after weeks of silence and no new mentions of Cardi on TV. Even the original announcement video is still live on WWEs website, but the company has gone quiet about her involvement. Thats a sharp contrast from their usual strategy when hyping celebrity appearances, especially when the celeb in question is one of the biggest names in music.
Triple H previously spoke about Cardi during the Money in the Bank post-show press conference, saying, I dont know if anyone can control Cardi B, let me start with that. If she wants to, I dont think we can talk her out of it. He added that she was excited about the project and that WWE was pushing to reach audiences beyond the typical wrestling fanbase.
Even with that enthusiasm, WWEs silence raised red flags. But based on Fightfuls report, it appears Cardi is still booked and ready to goWWEs just keeping things quiet, for now.
Is WWE playing it close to the chest for a surprise pop, or did they drop the ball by going dark on Cardi Bs involvement? Sound off in the comments and let us know if youre still hyped to see her at SummerSlam.
