The first PLE of the ESPN era, Wrestlepalooza was LIVE from Indianapolis, let's talk about it. (no VPN needed)
Brock Lesnar vs John Cena was announced, via social media, as the first match to start the show, both guys were spamming finishers as if it was a video game where you press L1 on your controller. Brock took full control and won in less than ten minutes, his win was similar to SummerSlam 2014.
Before the match, Paul Heyman introduced Brock like the good old days, this reunion may be the beginning, we might see Brock join Seth's team for Survivor Series WarGames, this is not a prediction or a spoiler.
Speaking of reunions, Jimmy & Jey, The Usos took on the Brons (Bron Breakker & Btonson Reed) it was nice to hear The Usos theme again. if you want to hear it again? just log on YouTube, yes there is a hint of sarcasm here (apologies to anyone reading this, we're in one of those moods today, we mean no disrespect to anyone)
Congratulations to Stephanie Vaquer, she is the NEW Women's World Champion, defeating Iyo Sky, this was great, as expected, Stephanie's focus is now on Crown Jewel, she will take on the Women's Champion from SmackDown, whereas Iyo might have unresolved with issues with Asuka and Kairi Sane.
CM Punk & AJ Lee won the mixed tag against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, you could tell everyone was having fun out there, this was AJ's first match after ten years away from the ring, she capped it off in style by forcing Becky to tap out, AJ will now look to take the Women's Intercontinental Championship from Becky.
Congratulations to Stephanie McMahon, she is the first name to be inducted in the 2026 Class of the WWE Hall Of Fame, this accolade is overdue, Stephanie has done so much for the women on the roster over the years.
Cody Rhodes is still the WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre has unfortunately lost another opportunity, it was a good main event to watch, however, because of the predictability of Cody winning. it was a case of waiting for him to hit the Cross Rhodes the win.
During the post show presser, we saw a tease for Cody vs Seth at Crown Jewel.
The Wrestlepalooza conversation is now in the books, thank you for reading, it's much appreciated, we will be back on Wednesday to talk about NXT.
