Grammy Award Winner Cardi B Could Appear at WWE SummerSlam 2021
Earlier this year, WWE president Nick Khan expressed his desire to bring contemporary artists like Bad Bunny and Cardi B to WWE. This was part of WWE’s agenda to entice a younger audience to their product.
WWE has already had Grammy winner Bad Bunny at WrestleMania 37. Bunny, a lifelong WWE fan, emerged victorious when he teamed up with Damian Priest and took down The Miz and John Morrison.
Recently there have been rumors of fellow Grammy winner Cardi B coming to WWE. The company has already announced the return of live events, starting with the SummerSlam 2021 go-home edition of SmackDown.
SummerSlam would be the second live event this year after WrestleMania 37. WWE has already chosen Cardi B’s record-breaking song “Up” as the theme for the PPV. Now multiple reports are stating, Cardi might come down to perform the song live at the “hottest event of Summer.”
WrestleVotes and Andrew Zarian of Mat Men Podcast have hinted there might be something brewing between WWE and Cardi and it is not limited to the theme song. Zarian went one step ahead and said he “can confirm that he was told cardi b is the host for SummerSlam this year.” See the tweets below –

Cardi B has a history with WWE
Like many kids in America, Cardi also grew up watching WWE back in the early 2000s. Her association with WWE was revealed after a RAW episode regarding her aired.
Angel Garza namedropped Cardi, leading fans to tag Cardi in their tweets. Cardi was really confused and even asked the fans, “Ok no more WWE tweets I haven’t watched it in years.I was just confused on all the WWE tweets I was getting. Before this last thing I Hurd bout it was about a sexy wrestler name Carmella.”

Then she revealed she didn’t watch The Rock because she was too young at the time. But started watching the show after he left i.e. from the Ruthless-Aggression era.
“Naaaaa I was still too young when he (The Rock) was on. I started watching when Booka T, Eddie Gurrero, Triple H, Batista, John Cena, Edge, Melina, Trish Stratus, Lina ETC was on!” Cardi wrote.

She was even hyped up when former Women’s Champions Melina and Trish Stratus acknowledged her. Hence, it is safe to assume she had given the WWE Universe plenty of hopes.
