WrestlePalooza

The Tonight Show is coming from Indianapolis. This is the very first show for WrestlePalooza. (Not sure if this show will travel or be anchored in Indianapolis)

Cole and Wade are at the announcer’s desk tonight for the show. Alicia Taylor is taking care of the ring announcing duties. Here comes Pat McAfee. (Cole is smiling from ear to ear)

*MATCH 1 — Brock Lesnar facing John Cena. (I am still not sure why he is back. He has not been cleared of the legal issues, as far as I know. I can’t see John winning this. I am like a few other people. Why book this match unless it was John’s request? As Cole just said, there is something in the water, as Alicia just announced Lesnar, Paul Heyman just walked out to announce Lesnar. This is the first time Brock has been in a match in 2 years. Needless to say, Lesnar wins. To be honest, no clue why this match got booked. (Well, nothing has changed as far as Lesnar is concerned, just the F5 on the Ref and John) Thank you, Cena chants are ringing out as much as John wants to acknowledge you, you can see how much the match took out of him.

*MATCH 2 — L.A. Knight is the guest Ref for the tag match between The Usos and Braun/Bronson. The twins have not been in the ring as an actual tag team in two years. Needless to say, Bronson/Braun with the win. (kind of board with the storyline, nothing changes)

Iyo Sky in singles action against Stephanie Vaquer for the right to hold the Women’s World title. Starting out, it’s been mostly Iyo taking the lead; Steph is finally taking the lead, after she created an opening. Thanks to a dragon screw by Steph, Iyo has had issues; she was able to connect but not get the job done. Iyo and Steph are in the middle of the ring, with Iyo showing respect and congratulating Steph.

*MATCH 3 — The atmosphere is electric as we witness a mixed tag team match featuring the high-energy duo of Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch taking on the formidable pair of CM Punk and AJ Lee. This showdown is particularly exciting, as it’s AJ’s first appearance in the ring since March 30th, 2015, and fans are buzzing with anticipation. As the match kicks off, it quickly reveals itself to be a chaotic affair. Becky and AJ start in the ring, but it doesn’t take long for tensions to flare. In a moment of defiance, Becky delivers a sharp slap to CM Punk, escalating the already charged atmosphere. The match, however, seems to be tipping into farce; the other team’s tactics keep AJ sidelined, relying on a slew of heel maneuvers that feel heavily scripted. Amidst the chaos, we must give credit to referee Jess, who is trying to maintain order despite a challenging task ahead of her. As the match unfolds, the tide finally turns in a dramatic fashion: AJ Lee expertly counters and locks in a submission, forcing Becky to tap out. The crowd erupts in a mix of shock and excitement, highlighting just how intense this match has become.

The Undertaker, as The American Badass, is on his way to the ring. He is sitting next to Steph McMahon. Takes telling Stephanie that she is the first member of the Class of 2026 to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Steph never saw it coming.

*MAIN EVENT — Cody Rhodes faces Drew McIntyre in a high-stakes clash for the Undisputed Championship. As anticipation builds, I can’t help but wonder how long it will be before the match turns chaotic. In a fierce moment, Drew lunged to deliver a brutal kick aimed at Cody’s head, trying to smash him through the announcer’s table. However, with quick reflexes, Cody dodged the impact, narrowly escaping disaster. Despite the intensity, I found the overall flow of the match to be somewhat disjointed and lacking the usual seamless energy I expected from these two competitors.

**Post Show

Joe, Big E, and Peter are looking after the post-show desk.

*Jackie Redmond’s view is that Drew is not done with Cody. Drew doesn’t know how to let go of things.

*John Cena has 3 dates left

*Paul Heyman with the Brauns at the desk.

*AJ Lee and CM Punk joined the boys at the desk.

*Cody Rhodes joined the boys. Seth Rollins is not happy about something and has walked into Cody’s Interview.

*Triple H at the desk with the boys. He says he is in trouble with Steph for keeping the Hall of Fame induction quiet. Stephanie Vaquer has had something like the flu, according to Triple H, which is why she has been hit and miss up to tonight.

October 11, in Perth, it’s Cody Rhodes against Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel.

Over 15,000 in attendance tonight
