WWE has confirmed a stacked line-up for Wrestlepalooza 2025, featuring returning legends, high-stakes championship bouts, and long-awaited dream matches.

John Cena vs Brock Lesnar

Wrestlepalooza will feature John Cena facing Brock Lesnar in a headline bout. The match is part of Cena's farewell run, a storyline that has generated worldwide attention. Lesnar's unexpected return on SmackDown set up the confrontation, adding intensity to one of WWE's longest-standing rivalries.

AJ Lee & CM Punk vs Becky Lynch & Seth Rollins

A mixed tag team match will see AJ Lee return to the ring for the first time in over a decade. Lee will team up with her husband CM Punk to take on Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins. The match builds on heated rivalries surrounding the Women's Intercontinental Championship and has been one of the most discussed storylines heading into Wrestlepalooza.

The Usos vs Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed

Jimmy and Jey Uso will reunite for a tag team clash against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. The Usos' reunion has been met with strong fan reaction, and the match is expected to play a significant role in the ongoing tag team division landscape.

IYO SKY vs Stephanie Vaquer – Women's World Championship

The Women's World Championship will be on the line after Naomi vacated the title due to pregnancy. IYO SKY will face Stephanie Vaquer in a match that crowns a new champion. This contest highlights WWE's commitment to elevating its women's division at one of its most high-profile events.

Additional Matches Expected

Industry reports suggest that another singles match could be added to the card, with names such as Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre under discussion. If confirmed, this would add further star power to an already stacked line-up.
