WWE Wrestlepalooza 2025 Results: Cody Rhodes Retains, AJ Lee Victorious in Return, Brock Lesnar Dominates John Cena
WWE’s inaugural Wrestlepalooza premium live event is in the books, delivering a night of major outcomes from the company’s debut on the ESPN app. The show saw Cody Rhodes successfully defend his Undisputed WWE Championship, AJ Lee win her first match in a decade, and Brock Lesnar score a dominant victory over John Cena in their final encounter.
In the main event, Cody Rhodes retained his title against Drew McIntyre. The American Nightmare fought through the effects of a beatdown from Friday’s SmackDown, ultimately capitalizing after McIntyre appeared to injure his own leg on a missed Claymore Kick. Rhodes secured the win with a super Cody Cutter followed by Cross Rhodes.
The highly anticipated return of AJ Lee was a triumphant one, as she and her husband, CM Punk, defeated the team of Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. In her first match in 10 years, Lee secured the victory for her team by forcing Lynch to tap out to her signature Black Widow submission hold after a chaotic and hard-fought battle.
The show kicked off with the final chapter between John Cena and Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate dominated the contest, overwhelming Cena and hitting six consecutive F-5s to pick up the decisive win. After the match, Lesnar continued his assault, delivering another F-5 to both Cena and the referee.
In other major results, Stephanie Vaquer captured the vacant Women’s World Championship by defeating Iyo Sky in a critically acclaimed contest that ended after Vaquer hit a picture-perfect Spiral Tap.
