Report: Possible name, broadcast location for WWE’s September PLE
WWE could be debuting on ESPN as soon as next month.
PWInsider reported Sunday that there have been discussions that the previously reported WWE PLE for September 20 could end up airing on ESPN, going head-to-head with AEW’s All Out pay-per-view. PWInsider describes the move as “a preview of the type of programming WWE will bring to that new partnership.” Additionally, they were told that plans to unveil the still unannounced PLE, including where it will broadcast, will be announced sometime this week.
ESPN did not comment when contacted by PWInsider. Their new deal with WWE to pair PLEs in the United States is set to start in 2026.
WrestleVotes on social media hinted at a potential name for the show, Wrestlepalooza. That was a name for a series of ECW shows held between 1995 and 2000.
Reports have indicated that the headline match for WWE’s PLE will be Brock Lesnar taking on John Cena. Their feud was reignited back at SummerSlam when Lesnar, who had been gone from WWE television for two years, made his return and laid out Cena with an F5. Lesnar hasn’t appeared since, with Cena next taking on Logan Paul at WWE Clash in Paris on August 31.
