How to watch WWE Wrestlepalooza 2025: Time, card, streaming

WWE is ushering in its ESPN era with a brand-new event: welcome to WWE Wrestlepalooza!

There are five matches on the stacked card for the Sept. 20 event, including two title fights. In his first (and final) Wrestlepalooza, John Cena will be in the ring facing an old rival, Brock Lesnar. There are years of history between the two, and Lesnar made a surprise return during 2025 SummerSlam to attack Cena after Cena lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes.

Rhodes will be in the ring against Drew McIntyre with his Undisputed title on the line. AJ Lee is also set to return to WWE after more than a decade away; she’ll be featured in a tag team fight alongside husband CM Punk, as they take on Seth Rollins and his wife Becky Lynch.

Here’s everything you need to know to tune in to the Wrestlepalooza event.

WWE Wrestlepalooza 2025 start time:

Wrestlepalooza 2025 will begin at 7 p.m. ET, with pre-show coverage beginning at 5 p.m. ET.

Will Wrestlepalooza 2025 be on the ESPN channel?

No, Wrestlepalooza is a streaming exclusive, airing on the ESPN Unlimited streaming service.

Subscribe to traditional cable via Spectrum or Verizon FIOS, or use the DIRECTV (stream only), fuboTV, or Hulu + Live TV streaming services to watch regular ESPN. You will be able to stream Wrestlepalooza, per ESPN programming executive John Lasker.

“All subscribers of those services today can validate their ESPN subscription through those services and get access,” Lasker said. It’s quick and easy to do so; simply create a MyDisney log-in (if you don’t already have one), and connect your cable account to the ESPN app.

Unfortunately, Comcast, Dish, and YouTube TV subscribers cannot currently watch ESPN Unlimited, so a separate ESPN Unlimited purchase will be necessary to watch Wrestlepalooza.
