When the lights go out and the crowd roars, the world of professional wrestling comes alive. The professional wrestling world, particularly WWE, has undergone a significant transformation in the streaming era. This shift began when a much-anticipated wrestling match found its place on Netflix, a pioneering move that offered viewers a vast library of content. Now, with the Wrestlepalooza having been announced, all eyes are on Netflix.

While the giant N has almost every genre wrapped around its fingers, will it wrap the WWE belt around it too by gaining the streaming rights to Wrestlepalooza.

Wrestlepalooza will indeed be streaming on Netflix for the international audience, but only for international audiences. The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 20, 2025, with a start time of 7 PM ET/4 PM PT in the United States. It will be held at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. Viewers in the United States can watch the event on the ESPN direct-to-consumer streaming service. The event promises several exciting matches.

Originally an event produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling, which WWE acquired, the new Wrestlepalooza is scheduled to be a major premium live event and will be the first WWE premium live event to stream on ESPN in the United States. A highly anticipated showdown will feature wrestling icons John Cena versus Brock Lesnar. Additionally, a new Women's World Champion will be crowned when IYO SKY takes on Stephanie Vaquer.
