Host
WWE is surely planning to return with a bang with its SummerSlam 2021 as ‘WAP’ hitmaker Cardi has reportedly been roped-in as the host. If this happens, the event will, of course, create a lot more buzz on the internet. Though it is not confirmed, Andrew Zarian of The Mat Men Podcast and Wrestling Observer reported that Cardi B will host SummerSlam this year. Taking to Twitter, he said, “I can confirm that I was told Cardi B is the host for SummerSlam this year.” WWE, however, is yet to stamp it officially.
A lot of fans on social media speculated the news after WWE aired a new advertisement for the SummerSlam during SmackDown which featured Cardi’s recent hit single ‘Up’. The Grammy award-winning rapper was referenced on-screen during WWE RAW Legends Night earlier this year and interestingly, WWE president Nick Khan had also expressed his interest earlier in working with the 28-year-old hip-hop artist.
