WWE Wrestlepalooza 2025 Returns With Cena, Lesnar, and Vaquer’s Biggest Match
Wrestlepalooza is making its grand return this year, and it’s not just any wrestling event—it’s the first time this iconic show is being staged under the WWE banner. Wrestling fans who remember the 1990s might recall the old ECW version of Wrestlepalooza, which last ran back in 2000 before WWE acquired ECW’s assets. Now, after 25 years, the event has been resurrected, and it promises to be one of the biggest wrestling spectacles of 2025.
Set for Saturday, September 20, Wrestlepalooza: Indianapolis will take place at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. That’s the same arena that has hosted everything from Pacers basketball to major WWE pay-per-views like SummerSlam and Survivor Series. For the city, it’s another major wrestling showcase, following its huge hosting of the Royal Rumble earlier in the year.

This year’s edition also marks a new chapter in WWE broadcasting. Wrestlepalooza 2025 will be the very first Premium Live Event shown on ESPN in the U.S., thanks to a brand-new five-year deal. For fans tuning in elsewhere, Netflix will be streaming the event globally under its own 10-year deal with WWE. So, no matter where fans are, there’s a way to catch the action live.
Now, let’s talk about the matches, because this card is absolutely stacked. The headline fight features two legends: John Cena and Brock Lesnar. Their rivalry goes back more than a decade, and now they’ll clash again in what could be one of Cena’s last major matches as he continues his retirement tour. It’s a fitting way to mark the return of Wrestlepalooza—two icons going head-to-head.
The championship spotlight is also shining bright. Cody Rhodes is set to defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre, a showdown fueled by weeks of heated confrontations. Meanwhile, the Women’s World Championship will be contested between Iyo Sky and Stephanie Vaquer. This match is especially important for Vaquer, who earned her shot after winning the Evolution Battle Royal. With Naomi stepping away due to pregnancy, the title is now vacant, and Vaquer has the chance to capture her first world championship on WWE’s biggest stage yet. For her, this is career-defining.
But the drama doesn’t stop there. Fans will see CM Punk and AJ Lee team up against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch in a mixed tag match—marking AJ Lee’s first WWE match in over a decade. Add in a heated tag-team battle between The Usos and The Vision, and the lineup feels like a perfect blend of nostalgia, rivalries, and fresh storylines.
Wrestlepalooza 2025 isn’t just another pay-per-view—it’s a milestone. It bridges WWE’s past with its future, brings back a legendary name, and showcases some of the biggest stars of today. Whether you’re tuning in on ESPN in the U.S. or Netflix worldwide, this is one wrestling event that’s shaping up to be unforgettable.
