WWE Wrestlepalooza 2025 marked the beginning of a new era in the company. The premium live event was the first major show to be streamed on ESPN's direct-to-consumer streaming service for viewers in the United States.The show featured multiple marquee names, including the John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar clash. It was headlined by Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre, who unsuccessfully challenged The American Nightmare for the Undisputed WWE Championship.ESPN's review of the show has suggested that WWE Wrestlepalooza 2025 fell a little short of expectations, especially after Triple H promised epic moments at the event. The streaming service itself gave the PLE a mere "C."The Wrestlepalooza 2025 card kicked off with the Cena-Lesnar bout. The Beast Incarnate dominated the contest and quite arguably squashed Cena after hitting multiple F5s.A new Women's World Champion was crowned on the night, as Stephanie Vaquer emerged victorious against IYO SKY to win the title that Naomi had vacated. The show also marked the in-ring return of AJ Lee and the reunion of The Usos, who lost their tag team match against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.ESPN's underwhelming review of Wrestlepalooza is bad news for Triple H and WWE since the two companies recently signed a streaming deal.Sam Roberts was shocked by Drew McIntyre's athletic abilities against Cody Rhodes at WWE WrestlepaloozaDrew McIntyre's athletic abilities were on display against Cody Rhodes. Despite not coming out on top in their match, his moveset impressed Sam Roberts.On the Wrestlepalooza Recap Show, the analyst said:"I'm sitting here when he's winding up for that dive. I thought he was going to do like a tope suicida through the ropes or something like that and go like, ‘Why is this guy diving when he leaps like he's Montez Ford clearing the top rope, flipping in mid-air and landing on Cody Rhodes?’ I go, 'What are we seeing?' That flip caught me totally by surprise. I legitimately yelled. (…) I mean, shoulders like boulders. The fact that he's doing that is insane."There is a big possibility of McIntyre and Rhodes crossing paths in the 2025 Men's WarGames Match. However, nothing has been confirmed yet.
