WWE FANATIC FEST 2025
WWE made a grand appearance at Fanatics Fest 2025, held from June 20 to 22 at the Javits Center in New York. The event brought together thousands of fans passionate about sports and pop culture, making it the perfect showcase for intense rivalries, impactful returns and iconic wrestling moments.
One of the most explosive moments of the weekend happened on Saturday, when CM Punk invaded the stage during Seth Rollins' entrance. The atmosphere heated up with an exchange of glances and provocations until Rollins tried to go after Punk. Security had to intervene quickly, reigniting the rivalry that promises to catch fire at Night of Champions, scheduled for next week.
During a special WWE press conference, Triple H spoke about the “Road to SummerSlam” and the importance of Fanatics Fest as a milestone on this journey. Stars such as Randy Orton, John Cena, Nikki Bella, Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton were also present, with appearances that excited the audience and helped to further increase the hype for the next big WWE event, scheduled for August 2nd and 3rd, at MetLife Stadium.
Another surprise for fans was former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, who made an unexpected appearance in true “heel” style, entering to the sound of Cody Rhodes. Brady ripped a Giants jersey, stepped on a Jets jersey and even performed a promo worthy of the greatest villains in wrestling. The star’s presence gave a comical and daring tone to the event, proving that WWE is increasingly integrated into the world of celebrities and general entertainment.
In addition to the live entertainment, fans were able to take photos with a replica of the WWE Championship Belt and check out a special store with licensed merchandise, shirts, hats and exclusive collectibles. Fanatics Fest also featured Fanatics Games, a sports and skills challenge between fans and athletes, with prizes totaling up to US$2 million. WWE was present in this competitive scenario, adding even more excitement to the tournament.
Fanatics Fest 2025 has established itself as one of the most important events in the year's sports and cultural calendar, and WWE knew how to make the most of every second to deliver top-notch entertainment, reinforce rivalries and connect with its fans in a unique way. With SummerSlam approaching, everything indicates that the consequences of what we saw in New York will echo for a long time in the wrestling universe.
