WWE WrestlePalooza 2025

 


WWE is superloading this show up against ALL OUT for their ESPN debut but I'm going with international Netflix thanks to Steph's suggestion to just use my existing Netflix sub. WWE gets sponsored guys walking and Becky feels like the A women's champ now. HHH hypes an ESPN video and we get Vince on-screen again. HHH is in the PAPA JOHNS WRESTLEPALOOZA RING and HHH blows himself some more and this name really sucks when they also own Fall Brawl. Pat McAfee is here too. 


Brock is out looking bigger than he ever has in his life and Cena does a cool intro with kids. Heyman does Brock's intro for him before Brock runs wild with shoulder charges and a big lariat before a Davey powerslam. SUPLEX CITY! And he counts them down after avoiding an AA and hitting another lariat. AA and Brock's up. ANOTHER AND HE'S UP. A THIRD GETS 2. TWO F5S! A third, but Brock's too tired to cover. FOURTH F5! Five and six AND IT'S OVER. Better than expected.



Usos vs. The Vision is up with Knight as ref. Chairshots for both sides show Knight is just going to let it be a brawl. Not really much to this beyond spots and the splash finishes an okay WWE 2K25-ish tornado tag match. Vaquer and Iyo are up for the women's world title. They just tear the house down with dives that are a blend of safe from Vaquer and terrifying from Iyo. Iyo gets her crossface and Vaquer rolls out right into a kamigoye! FLASH RANA AND A BUZZSAW KICK GETS 2!


Rope and corner dragon screws by Steph! Devil's kiss and the butterfly backbreaker gets 2! BULLET TRAIN KNEES BY IYO WITH NO KNEEPADS! OVER THE MOONSAULT MISSES WITH NO KNEEPADS! SPIRAL TAP BY VAQUER WINS IT! She celebrates with her dad who does the DDP belt lift upside-down. Cody chats with Travis Hailburton backstage.




AJ and Punk face Lynch and Seth. Seth and Becky are out in insane getups even by their standards and get a half and half theme presentation that I like. We get some stalling before AJ and Becky start off before Becky tags out to have the guys go at it and hold off AJ more. Bunch of nothing going on until AJ tags in and Thesz presses Becky. AJ politely stomps a mudhole in the corner before doing the corner punches and slapping both Becky and Seth. Double-team standing shirunai hits for AJ! Black widow and the sharpshooter are on for the faces. BLACK WIDOW TO SETH! Heels hit the pedigree and get 2.5. 


BEXPLODER to AJ sets up AJ doing one to her. CURB STOMP TO SETH BY PUNK! Becky and Punk exchange sharpshooters to each other. STOMP TO PUNK! AJ STOMPS SETH and the manhandle slam gets 2.9 for Becky! Goofy table stuff on each side and AJ gets thrown into Punk by Becky to end that. Black Widow to Becky thankfully ends this.


Steph gets an intro as does ABA Taker and he...hops in the crowd to chat with Steph and show off his...legendary mic skills and hypes up DX for YET ANOTHER HHH ENTRANCE! ? No - instead it's Steph going into the HOF. OH JOY. Cody vs. Drew is up and Cody hits a Cody Cutter and a suicide dive. Drew hits a fallaway slam OVER THE ANNOUNCE TABLE on Cody. Ouch.  Drew rains punches down from the mount before a BOO/YAY punch exchange. AVALANCHE WHITE NOISE BY DREW gets 2. Claymore misses and Drew gets locked into a figure four. Cross Rhodes gets 2. Claymore through the announce table takes Drew out for a bit. Glasgow Kiss hits! SUPER CODY CUTTER HITS! CROSS RHODES WINS IT!
