Cody Rhodes retained his title in the main event of Wrestlepalooza 2025, and there were no twists or turns as many had hoped. It was a clean-cut finish, and after the PLE went off the air, he was momentarily booed.

There were no surprises, heel turns, or anything that made Wrestlepalooza 2025 an unforgettable one. Many expected the show to end on a high note since it was the first ESPN PLE. There has been a bit of backlash from fans, specifically in the United States, over the price point of ESPN, as there is a $30.00 fee for each PLE going forward. This is something that many considered a downgrade from the Peacock streaming service.

When Cody Rhodes cut a promo after Wrestlepalooza went off the air, he mentioned WWE's newest partners, ESPN, and the Indianapolis crowd immediately started booing. You can watch this in the tweet below around the 0:20 second mark, and Cody had to mention the city's name to get the crowd back on his side.

Of course, it is Cody Rhodes' job as Quarterback 1 to do as much as he can to promote WWE's product, and that's why he is the face of the company today. He's the one who does all the media appearances, and that's perhaps why there is no interest in pulling the trigger on a sudden title change.

Either way, the ESPN Era has begun, and it'll be interesting to see what fans have to say about the platform. While there was initial confusion about how to get to ESPN and which app to use, WWE made sure to have three different segments on SmackDown before Wrestlepalooza to explain to fans how they can get to ESPN Unlimited to watch Wrestlepalooza and other PLEs.
