As WWE SummerSlam 2025 approaches, there is rising speculation about a few wrestlers from the past making a surprise appereance.
While there are a few confirmed returns like John Cena playing his last match, as he has stated his retirement already, the return of Bella Twins, especially Brie Bella, has left some mystery behind.
Brie Bella recently addressed her SummerSlam status on The Nikki & Brie Show, the popular podcast she hosts with her sister.
She clarified that while she will be in New Jersey during SummerSlam weekend, she is not scheduled to appear at the WWE event.
. “I’m going to SummerSlam … actually, I’m not at SummerSlam,”
The Bella twins will instead be participating in off-screen events, including a wine-tasting appearance and other brand activations in collaboration with companies like DraftKings.
Despite their official statement by the Bella sisters, there are a few rumors that Brie will make a surprise appereance at the Show, mostly entering during the WWE Women’s Championship between Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill.
According to WWE officials, there are currently no new entries or matches announced for the upcoming SummerSlam or Survivor Series 2025 events.
However, surprise appearances and shocking moments are nothing new in the WWE Universe. So even if the Bella Twins don’t show up at SummerSlam, there’s still a possibility they could make a return at Survivor Series.
In addition to Brie Bella, other potential wrestlers might surprise everyone at SummerSlam 2025.
Among the list, AJ Lee seems to be the most likely star that might shock everyone at SummerSlam, as her husband CM Punk appears to have made quite an impact in the latest WWE Seasons.
So, AJ Lee might finally return to the ring nearly after 10 years. If not, she might be seen outside the ring supporting her husband’s championship match.
On the other Hand, The IInspiration / IIconics, who made their return to TNA Wrestling at the Against All Odds premium live event, might return to WWE as well.
The WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships between The Judgment Day (Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez) vs. Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair might turn tragic by the return of IIconics.
Although the return of these past legends hasn’t been confirmed, things could still take a turn at SummerSlam or even at Survivor Series 2025.
