How’d that go for you, ESPN? Did you enjoy that? Did you like your little five-match WWE card with only two titles on the line? Did you have fun watching a bunch of 40-year-olds roll around for your entertainment? I hope so because WWE already has your money, so you’re on this ride until it comes to a complete stop!
I’m probably overreacting here; I’m sure the numbers for Wrestlepalooza will turn out to be just fine, and that’s all ESPN cares about anyway. But man, for the first PLE of the ESPN partnership, a show that’s already being hyped up potentially to WrestleMania levels, shouldn’t it have felt a little less like Payback? Because not much of anything really happened here. We have a new Women’s World Champion, but we were always going to. The Brock win was shocking, but not in a fun or interesting way, and the biggest thing to look forward to coming out of the show is a potential women’s Intercontinental title match for AJ Lee. Beyond that, basically nothing happened with any real implications going forward. And remember, this ESPN thing is a big deal — this is what Paul Levesque’s booking looks like when he’s trying.
So yeah, that’s what you paid for, ESPN. That’s a typical WWE PLE in 2025. Have fun!
