WWE WrestlePalooza News – AJ Lee Wins Return Match, Cody Rhodes Retains, John Cena Only Has 5 WWE Dates Left, & More News
— With LA Knight serving as the special guest referee, The Vision scored a huge win over The Usos at WWE Wrestlepalooza. Knight kept things loose, allowing both teams to use weapons freely throughout the match. Tensions flared again between Knight and Jey Uso after Jey nearly collided with him on a suicide dive and came close to hitting him with a chair. Their argument gave Bron Breakker the opening to level Jey with a spear. Breakker then speared both Usos through a table, setting up Bronson Reed to hit the Tsunami and score the decisive pinfall.

— AJ Lee made her return to the ring in her first match in ten years, teaming with her husband CM Punk to score a victory at WWE Wrestlepalooza. Although it was a mixed tag bout, the action quickly broke down as the men and women went after each other. AJ nailed Seth Rollins with a stomp, while Becky Lynch managed to lock Punk in the Sharpshooter — and later took one herself.
Late in the match, Lynch launched AJ from one table onto another, sending Punk and Rollins crashing through it in the process. Back inside the ring, Lynch went for the Manhandle Slam, but AJ countered into the Black Widow, forcing Lynch to tap out and sealing the win for her team.
Arriving in style. 🔥
Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins are ready for #Wrestlepalooza

— Cody Rhodes is still the undisputed WWE Champion, defeating Drew McIntyre at Wrestlepalooza in Indianapolis. Rhodes was dealing with lingering effects of the head injury McIntyre gave him, but still managed to fight back threw McIntyre’s offense. Towards the end of the match, McIntyre had Rhodes against the announce table, similar to what happened five weeks ago. The referee got in the way and when McIntyre tried to hit the Claymore, Rhodes moved and McIntyre hurt his leg. In the ring, he tried for another Claymore but his leg gave out. This let Rhodes hit a cutter, then the Cross Rhodes to get the win.
This is Rhodes’ second reign as WWE Champion. He won the belt at Summerslam and has been champion for 48 days.
Is it his time?!
Drew McIntyre is ready for the main event of #Wrestlepalooza!
