“We’re coming to you live from the Tri-State!” she enthusiastically shouted. “Tonight, we are making history because this marks the first-ever two-day SummerSlam. Yes!” Cardi energized the crowd by hyping up the imminent appearances from popular stars like Logan Paul and Randy Orton, declaring, “We’re going to be talking about this forever,” and building anticipation for the thrilling matches ahead.

Cardi is not the first musical icon to enter the WWE spotlight.

This evening, country sensation Jelly Roll is set to make his in-ring debut, facing off against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul in a thrilling tag-team match alongside Randy Orton. Jelly Roll recently stunned audiences with his athletic prowess when he executed a choke-slam on Paul through a table during an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
