The WWE has announced that Cody Rhodes will be making his highly anticipated Wrestlepalooza return on September 20, marking a key highlight of the premium live event. This confirmation came from Triple H, emphasizing the significance of Rhodes’ comeback. Additionally, Pat McAfee is scheduled to appear in his home state of Indiana, adding to the growing excitement surrounding the event.
Jackie Redmond, a regular RAW interviewer, missed the most recent edition of WWE Raw, which raised questions among fans. Addressing the speculation, Redmond shared that she was granted a two-week vacation ahead of the upcoming National Hockey League season, in which she is also involved as a broadcaster. Redmond has now confirmed that she will return for Wrestlepalooza, likely taking on hosting duties for the pre-show. She expressed enthusiasm about being back and mentioned AJ Lee’s return to WWE after a decade away.
“My incredible amazing bosses at WWE have allowed me two weeks vacation before hockey starts and I have no life again. LOL. I return at WrestlePalooza! I’ve dusted off my Chuck Taylor’s and I have SO much to say. ☺️,” Jackie Redmond wrote.
Anticipated Matches and Storylines at Wrestlepalooza
Cody Rhodes is expected to headline the event as he likely defends his WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre, who was responsible for Rhodes’ recent injury that led to a month-long break. The card is notably structured around several major returns, including AJ Lee and Brock Lesnar both coming back to the ring.
Brock Lesnar, known as The Beast Incarnate, will take on John Cena following his unexpected return at SummerSlam, where he launched a surprise attack on the 17-time world champion. AJ Lee is also set to return to action by teaming with her husband, CM Punk, in a Mixed Tag Team Match against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins.
Other featured matches include Stephanie Vaquer challenging IYO SKY for the vacant Women’s World Championship. The Usos, recently reunited, will join forces to face The Vision’s Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, promising intense competition across the card.
Implications and Expectations for WWE’s Wrestlepalooza Event
Wrestlepalooza is shaping up to be a major WWE event focusing heavily on high-profile returns and title contests, which adds notable anticipation among fans and insiders. Cody Rhodes’ return as WWE Champion carries weight for the show‘s momentum, especially given Drew McIntyre’s role in his absence. The presence of stars like Brock Lesnar and AJ Lee further suggests WWE is aiming to deliver a memorable spectacle.
