Digest more
WWE Wrestlepalooza is taking place in Pat McAfee's adopted hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana, on September 20th.
Earlier this month, it was announced that WWE and ESPN reached an agreement for the broadcaster to become the exclusive home of premium live events starting in 2026. The deal reportedly was for a whopping total of $1.625 billion over five years, with an annual value of $325 million.
In a surprise announcement, WWE reveals that Wrestlepalooza will stream on ESPN, not Peacock. The move happens sooner than expected, setting up a head-to-head showdown with AEW's All Out on September 20.
WWE Wrestlepalooza 2025 was officially announced as the first premium live event of the ESPN deal. There is now a new report about another PLE that is set to take place a week after that.
