The 2025 Wrestlepalooza, also promoted as Wrestlepalooza: Indianapolis, was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was the fifth Wrestlepalooza, although the first under the WWE banner, and the first since 2000, which was produced by the former Extreme Championship Wrestling, the assets of which WWE acquired in 2003. The event took place on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, and featured wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.
The event was the first major WWE event to be streamed on ESPN's direct-to-consumer streaming service for viewers in the United States. This edition featured John Cena's first and only Wrestlepalooza appearance as an in-ring performer due to his retirement from professional wrestling at the end of 2025. Cena faced Brock Lesnar, who competed in his first match since the 2023 SummerSlam. In addition, the event featured AJ Lee's first match in over 10 years and The Usos' first traditional tag team match on a PPV and livestreaming event since the 2023 Money in the Bank.
Five matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Cody Rhodes defeated Drew McIntyre to retain the SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Championship. In other prominent matches, Stephanie Vaquer defeated Iyo Sky to win the vacant Women's World Championship, CM Punk and AJ Lee defeated Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch by submission in a mixed tag team match and in the opening bout, Brock Lesnar defeated John Cena.
