Sat Sep 20 17:40:00 UTC 2025: ## WWE Wrestlepalooza Main Event Set: Rhodes vs. McIntyre to Close Inaugural Show
**STAMFORD, CT** – Wrestlepalooza, WWE’s first-ever premium live event airing on ESPN, is shaping up to be a night of blockbuster matches, capped off by a championship showdown between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre. According to a report from WrestleVotes on X, the Undisputed WWE Championship will be on the line in the main event.
“Sources confirms the main event for WrestlePalooza tomorrow night will be Drew McIntyre vs Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship,” the account posted Friday evening, putting an end to speculation about the show’s finale.
The highly anticipated match was solidified on last week’s Friday Night SmackDown, after Rhodes confronted McIntyre following the latter’s victory over Randy Orton. A contract signing is scheduled to take place on tonight’s broadcast.
Adding to the excitement, the evening will kick off with a clash of titans, as announced earlier this week on “The Pat McAfee Show,” with John Cena facing off against Brock Lesnar in the opening contest.
Beyond the main event and opener, Wrestlepalooza boasts a stacked card including:
* **Mixed Tag Team Match:** AJ Lee, making her highly anticipated return to the ring, teams with her husband CM Punk to battle the power couple of Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.
* **Women’s World Championship Match:** IYO SKY faces Stephanie Vaquer for the vacant title.
* **WWE Women’s Championship Triple Threat:** Champion Tiffany Stratton is expected to defend her title against Jade Cargill and Nia Jax, pending final medical clearance.
* **Tag Team Showdown:** The reunited Usos will go head-to-head with The Vision’s Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
Wrestlepalooza promises to be a memorable night for WWE fans. Check your local listings or visit WWE.com for complete details on how to watch live.
