WWE planning big main event for PLE opposite AEW All Out

WWE is planning a big main event for its yet-to-be-announced September PLE.

Yesterday, it was reported that WWE will be running a main roster PLE on the same day as AEW All Out on Saturday, September 20. The WWE show is slated to be held in Indianapolis, while All Out is set for Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez discussed the situation on Wrestling Observer Radio, with Meltzer noting that — as of now — John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar is expected to headline the WWE PLE.

“It can change, but the main event for this show is Brock Lesnar and John Cena,” Meltzer said. “So it’s a big one. Which is why Brock’s not in Paris, is because of this. They wanted him for this show, not for the Paris show. And that’s where Logan Paul got the gig.”

Cena vs. Paul is happening at WWE Clash in Paris on August 31 in advance of this September PLE.

At SummerSlam earlier this month, Lesnar returned to WWE by attacking Cena. It was the first appearance for Lesnar since his name was mentioned in the lawsuit former WWE employee Janel Grant filed against Vince McMahon and WWE in January 2024. His most recent match was against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023.

Cena is in the final stretch of his retirement tour with his in-ring career coming to an end this December.

WWE has not officially announced the September 20 PLE yet, and it’s not known what the name of the show will be.
