WWE debuts tonight on ESPN with a brand new PLE, Wrestlepalooza. The show will take place at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, and features a card with five matches, including a showdown between John Cena and Brock Lesnar and the return of AJ Lee to action after a decade since her last match. Solowrestling will provide live coverage that you can follow in this article. As always, we encourage you to leave your comments.
You can find information about the schedule and card of the show at this link. The show will start at 7:00 PM ET (United States) and the Countdown to Wrestlepalooza two hours earlier. Below is the video where you can watch the WWE pre-show.
Michael Cole, Wade Barrett, and Big E welcome us to the Wrestlepalooza Countdown Show. After that, Tyrese Haliburton joins the commentary panel.
We see a promotional video for the match between John Cena and Brock Lesnar. Both wrestlers share their feelings before the PLE. "If John Cena wants to retire in a memorable way, I will retire him," says "The Beast". "I believe Brock Lesnar when he says he wants to end my tour early, but I will do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening," Cena states. "I'm going to retire John Cena. I want to do it, and that's exactly what will happen at Wrestlepalooza," says Brock to conclude the video.
The Usos meet The Vision (Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed) backstage. Tension between the two teams escalates quickly, at which point numerous officials and security members intervene to separate them. Adam Pearce orders them to be escorted in opposite directions.
Jackie Redmond interviews the Raw General Manager backstage. He acknowledges that dealing with The Usos and The Vision drains too much of his energy. So he has decided that this match will have a stronger referee, capable of controlling the animosity between both teams. LA Knight interrupts the interview. "It looks like that could be me," says "The Megastar". "YEAH," Pearce responds before leaving. LA Knight makes it clear that he has no intention of intervening in the match. As far as he's concerned, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Jey Uso can go to hell -Jimmy not so much- since his only job will be to count to three. And if anyone dares to say "Uce," he will ring the bell. "There is only one man who can do this job. There is and can only be one, with everyone saying L-A-Knight. YEAH," says "The Megastar" to conclude the interview.
Cathy Kelley interviews Drew McIntyre before the show. Kelly asks him about his attack on Cody Rhodes five weeks ago. Drew insists that "The American Nightmare" was ready to attack him after their match ended. That's why he decided to attack first as a defensive act. Something that should be easy to understand, so he hopes not to be asked about it anymore. Kelley reminds him that Rhodes and the Scotsman have had parallel careers, with the exception that Cody won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania in front of 70,000 people, while McIntyre did it in an empty arena. Did that affect him? McIntyre points out that five years ago the world was going through a very tough time. WWE was one of the escapes for fans, and he was in the same place Cody is now. Drew was the hero the company needed at that time (during the COVID-19 pandemic era), but things change. "I don't want that title. I need it," says McIntyre. He also makes it clear that he doesn't envy Rhodes in the slightest, whom he describes as a liar, someone who has learned to kiss asses as well as John Cena does. Additionally, Cody knows the truth: that the Scotsman is his biggest threat. Finally, Kelley asks him how he will feel if he wins the WWE Championship at Wrestlepalooza. McIntyre remains silent. "Redemption," he replies to conclude the interview.
Triple H joins the commentary panel for the second hour, with Jackie Redmond, Peter Rosenberg, and Big E. The WWE Content Chief reflects on the company's recent agreements with Netflix and ESPN before giving his opinion on some of the main matches on the Wrestlepalooza card.
Cathy Kelley interviews Stephanie Vaquer backstage. The Chilean admits she's a little nervous, but she will use that feeling as motivation. Tonight she will have the most important match of her career. "Tonight I will become champion," concludes "The Dark Angel".
Corey Graves interviews CM Punk and AJ Lee before the show. AJ Lee describes her return to WWE as "surreal". Also, she did it in Chicago, the city where she won her first championship, so it's somewhat poetic. CM Punk points out that the current WWE is very different from what it was a decade ago. His wife led an entire generation, so he is proud that she can return to see the fruits of her work. AJ Lee ensures that the women's division has become everything she wanted back then, although now she feels she relates to her "daughters" backstage. Graves notes that during the absence of CM Punk and AJ Lee, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have been leading their respective divisions. CM Punk makes it clear that he doesn't tell anyone how to do things following a vision. He just wants to help talent to be better than him. CM Punk also values the support of his wife, pointing out that when darkness invades him, he just has to look by his side. Finally, AJ Lee admits she was a little nervous on her debut day, but she believes that is the true nature of bravery, being nervous and still doing things. "Jumping in headfirst. I guess you have to be a little crazy to take a risk like that, but if anyone can do that job, it's me," says AJ Lee. Graves thanks both for their time and ends the interview.
The War & Treaty sing "God Bless America" to end the Countdown Show.
