WWE has brought out most of its biggest guns with a card that features CM Punk, Seth Rollins, AJ Lee, Becky Lynch, John Cena, Brock Lesnar, and more.
Here’s everything you need to know about the card.

Something to Watch in Every Wrestlepalooza Match
Vaquer vs. Iyo – A Great Match and an Iyo Heel Turn
Vaquer and Iyo have the ability to work the best match on the card. However, I’m wondering if Wrestlepalooza is the spot for the classic match that these two will inevitably deliver.
Also, the tensions between Asuka, Kairi Sane, and Iyo could result in the latter turning heel on Vaquer during or after the match for the vacant WWE Women’s World Championship.
The Usos vs. The Vision – A Great Match and a Jey Uso Heel Turn
We’ve seen Jey tease a heel turn, and it would break the hearts of a lot of fans. That said, it is hard to argue that his character may need a new wrinkle. Other than that, what other significance does this match have on the grand scheme of things?
AJ Lee and CM Punk vs. Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins – How Ready is AJ Lee for In-ring Action
The star power and novelty of this couples vs. couples match is the draw here. That said, it’s been more than 10 years since Lee has worked a match. It’ll be interesting to see how much she’s able to do in the ring.
Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre – Is it Time for Drew to Get Back to the Top?
In short, I don’t think McIntyre goes over here, but I do believe WWE should reward him with another title run in this feud. He’s done nothing but stellar work in every program he’s worked for the past five years.
Rhodes needs a heel run at some point in the next year or two. Maybe this can be the beginning of that trend.
John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar – Where’s This Going–if Anywhere?
Cena-Lesnar sells itself–especially because we know the former only has a few matches left in his career. Lesnar’s return hasn’t had a ton of substance up to this point.
I wish there had been something crafted for Lesnar, but as it is, we’ll be watching to see if anything with some meat on the bones comes from what looks like the main event.
