WWE set for early ESPN broadcast featuring John Cena's Wrestlepalooza, squaring off against AEW
On September 20, 2021, the wrestling world will be abuzz with two epic events taking place simultaneously. WWE's Wrestlepalooza and All Elite Wrestling's All Out pay-per-view will go head-to-head, marking a significant moment in the wrestling industry.
The action will kick off with WWE's Wrestlepalooza, airing live on ESPN's new direct-to-consumer streaming service. The event, scheduled to start at 7 p.m. Eastern Time, is set to be a spectacle, with some of the biggest names in wrestling set to appear. John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, CM Punk, and Drew McIntyre have been confirmed for the event, with a main event planned between John Cena and Brock Lesnar.
Rumours are rife that Cena and Lesnar will clash in a highly anticipated showdown at Wrestlepalooza. The excitement is palpable, as fans eagerly await the first-ever Wrestlepalooza, which WWE announced earlier this month as part of a five-year, $1.6 billion deal with ESPN for the right to stream its premium live events.
In a move to counterprogram WWE's counterprogramming, All Elite Wrestling has extended All Out to eight hours. The event will be streamed on Amazon Prime, with the action starting at 6 p.m. Eastern Time. The estimated viewership for All In, AEW's biggest show of the year, was 180,000 to 185,000, according to the Wrestling Observer.
WWE is no stranger to this tactic, having previously counterprogrammed AEW with NXT's Great American Bash and a "Saturday Night's Main Event" show in July. It seems the wrestling giants are gearing up for a fierce battle for viewership.
For those with ESPN via certain service providers, access to WWE's premium live events, including Wrestlepalooza, comes at no additional charge. Customers with ESPN's unlimited plan will also be able to stream these events.
As the date approaches, anticipation grows for this historic clash between WWE's Wrestlepalooza and All Elite Wrestling's All Out. The wrestling world braces itself for a night of unforgettable action and intense competition. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting events.
