The Birth of a New Era: 5 Iconic Matches That Could Launch WWE on ESPN in Style

Wrestlepalooza has just been announced and already feels like a night that can be etched in wrestling history. Not only is it the first event of its kind but it also marks the beginning of the WWE and ESPN partnership. This is the moment where sports entertainment collides with one of the most recognizable names in sports media. For WWE to kick things off the right way it has to deliver matches that feel monumental. Matches that will make fans tune in not just for the action but for the history they will witness. Here are five matches that could make Wrestlepalooza an instant classic and set the tone for the ESPN era.
Roman Reigns vs Bron Breakker

Roman Reigns has run WWE with dominance for years but Bron Breakker has been quietly building a reputation as one of the hungriest and most dangerous young stars in the company. Recently Breakker has been stealing Reigns' Jordans right off his feet after matches and making it known that he wants to step into his yard. The symbolism of taking Reigns’ shoes is too good to ignore. A match between Reigns and Breakker would be more than a clash of powerhouses. It would be a battle of legacy versus the future. Breakker is trying to carve out his name by targeting the biggest dog in the yard and Reigns would be fighting to prove he still rules the kingdom. On the stage of Wrestlepalooza this is the kind of story that can define a new generation.
Seth Rollins vs CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship

Ever since Rollins cashed in on Punk at SummerSlam their rivalry has been burning. Both men have claimed to be the true workhorse and the true face of the modern era. Wrestlepalooza would be the perfect setting for their long awaited one on one rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship. This is not just about gold. It is about redemption for Punk and validation for Rollins. Punk has wanted to prove he can still hang at the very top while Rollins has worked tirelessly to show that no one outshines him in the ring. A pure one on one battle with no Money in the Bank briefcase looming overhead could deliver a match that fans will talk about for years.
Liv Morgan vs Roxanne Perez

The women’s division thrives on personal rivalries and none could be more heated than Roxanne Perez versus a returning Liv Morgan .While Roxanne has been riding high with her run alongside Raquel Rodriguez in Judgment Day Morgan has been absent. That absence only fueled her anger because she felt her spot was taken. Imagine Liv Morgan returning furious and ready to prove that Roxanne Perez succeeded at her expense. This feud writes itself and Wrestlepalooza could be the perfect place to settle it. Roxanne would fight to hold onto her momentum while Liv Morgan would be desperate to reclaim what she feels was stolen. The energy of a match like this could shake the Gainbridge Fieldhouse to its core.
The Women’s Heavyweight Championship Tournament

When Naomi announced on Raw that she had to relinquish the Women’s Heavyweight Championship due to expecting a baby with Jimmy Uso the entire division was left wide open. Wrestlepalooza is the perfect place to crown a new champion. A tournament featuring the best women on the roster would not only honor Naomi but would also give fans a night of surprises and high stakes competition. From veterans like Becky Lynch and Bayley to rising stars like Chelsea Green and Jade Cargill the possibilities are endless. Each round would build anticipation until a new champion finally emerges. The story of who will step up and fill the void left by Naomi’s absence could be the centerpiece of the night.
A TNA Showcase Match

What makes Wrestlepalooza unique is that it can be more than just another WWE Premium Live Event. It can be a festival of wrestling. Bringing in a TNA showcase match would not only surprise fans but also highlight the broader world of professional wrestling. Imagine TNA’s Josh Alexander facing off against AJ Styles in a dream interpromotional match. These types of encounters would instantly make Wrestlepalooza feel like something bigger than just one company. It would celebrate wrestling as a whole and give fans something fresh that they cannot see anywhere else.
Cody Rhodes vs Drew Mcyintire ( Bonus Add , I had to)

Cody Rhodes versus Drew McIntyre has become the defining rivalry on SmackDown and the battle for the WWE Championship is at its most intense. Rhodes stands tall as the Undisputed Champion, carrying the legacy of finishing his story, while McIntyre has been fueled by frustration and a growing resentment that his moment was stolen back at Clash at the Castle. Week after week their confrontations have turned more personal, with McIntyre questioning Cody’s right to be the face of SmackDown and Rhodes determined to prove that his second championship reign is no fluke. This clash is more than just about the title, it is about pride, redemption, and who truly belongs at the top of WWE.
Wrestlepalooza has the chance to become the launchpad for the next chapter of WWE history. With ESPN now in the picture every moment will be magnified and every match will carry more weight. Roman Reigns facing Bron Breakker could mark the passing of a torch. Rollins and Punk could finally settle their rivalry. Roxanne Perez could get her revenge against Liv Morgan. The women’s division could crown a new champion. And a TNA showcase could bridge worlds in a way fans have been dreaming about. If these matches happen Wrestlepalooza will not just be the first event of its kind. It will be remembered as the night WWE started a brand new era with ESPN and set the bar for everything that follows.
