WWE Wrestlepalooza Opening Match & Main Event Revealed

WWE Wrestlepalooza 2025 is fast approaching, as WWE takes over the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana later tonight. Over the last few days, WWE have announced some of the match structure for the show, revealing both the opening match and main event for the premium live event. 

When it comes to the opener, and the match most likely to go head-to-head with the main event of AEW All Out 2025, which starts a few hours earlier than Wrestlepalooza, it will be Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena. This will mark Lesnar’s first match in WWE since SummerSlam 2023, and one of the final matches of Cena’s in-ring WWE career before he finally retires in December later this year. 

On Friday Night SmackDown last night, a contract signing took place between WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and challenger Drew McIntyre, during which it was officially revealed that their match would be the main event of the evening. It was reported this week that WWE were planning on a WWE Women’s Title triple threat match after Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill & Nia Jax were featured on some promotional material, but due to an injury to Stratton, the match didn’t end up getting announced. 

The full match card for Wrestlepalooza is as follows;

• Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena 
• AJ Lee & CM Punk vs. Becky Lynch & Seth Rollins
• Iyo Sky vs. Stephanie Vaquer - Vacant Women’s World Championship 
• The Usos vs. The Vision (Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed)
• Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre - WWE Championship
