WWE Wrestlepalooza will take place on September 20 on the ESPN app, going head-to-head with AEW All Out.
The company took to social media this afternoon to officially announce the event, tweeting out:
“BREAKING NEWS: WWE Wrestlepalooza will be the first Premium Live Event on @espn! Saturday, September 20th at 7pm ET LIVE from Indianapolis,” WWE said in a post.
The event will take place at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Tickets for the event go on sale this Friday (August 22) at 10 AM ET.
In a corresponding press release, it was announced that the deal between WWE and ESPN will kick off on September 20 instead of the previously announced 2026. Which means all premium live events for the rest of the year will be on ESPN instead of Peacock.
This changes nothing as far as international consumers go, as all WWE premium live events will be available on Netflix.
As far as what you can expect from this event, Mike Johnson of PWInsider is reporting that the scheduled double main event for this show is:
John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar
WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre
