premium event, Wrestlepalooza, marked the beginning of a new era on the ESPN Unlimited platform. Alofoke Deportes offers you an exhaustive analysis of each match, evaluating the narrative, the execution in the

Wrestlepalooza Highlights
The night was full of action, with the expected match between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, where “The Beast Incarnate” dominated his rival. In addition, a new Women’s World Champion was crowned and the return of a legend was highlighted.
Women’s World Championship: Iyo Sky vs. Stephanie Vaquer
Result: Vaquer defeated Sky by a count of three.
Rating: B+
An exceptional match between two of WWE’s most outstanding female wrestlers. Strategy and counterattacks set the tone in the first half. Vaquer focused her attacks on Sky’s knee, giving her a crucial advantage. Despite Sky’s attempts to reverse the situation, Vaquer managed to prevail with a “Spinal Tap” from the top rope.
Tag Team Match: The Usos vs. The Vision
Result: The Vision defeated The Usos by a count of three.
Rating: C
The match started slowly, with special referee LA Knight allowing the use of chairs and tables. The action intensified with several
spears and a failed attempt by the Usos. An accidental clash left Jey Uso bleeding, which disrupted the rhythm of the match. Finally, Breakker and Reed secured the victory for The Vision.
Mixed Tag Team Match: CM Punk and AJ Lee vs. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch
Result: Punk and Lee defeated Rollins and Lynch by submission.
Rating: C
This type of combat focuses more on entertainment than pure fighting. Rollins and Lynch tried to keep Lee out of the match, but the situation changed when Punk managed to get the tag. Lee showed that he hasn’t lost his touch, unleashing chaos in the
ring. The match included risky moves and culminated with Lee applying his “Black Widow” to Lynch to secure the victory.
Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre
Result: Rhodes defeated McIntyre by a count of three.
Rating: C
The main event, surprisingly short, failed to reach its full potential. Rhodes’ head injury, suffered the day before, seemed to affect him. McIntyre suffered a leg injury, which opened the door for Rhodes to execute his “Cross Rhodes” and take the victory.
Singles Match: John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar
Result: Lesnar defeated Cena by a three count.
Rating: C-
The seventh match between Cena and Lesnar felt more like a prelude to their next encounter. Lesnar dominated the match, applying several “F-5″s to secure a decisive victory. The short match focused on Lesnar’s power.
Wrestlepalooza Conclusion
Wrestlepalooza Final Rating: C
The match between Vaquer and Sky was the highlight of the event. However, other matches did not meet expectations, either due to their brevity or their function of preparing future confrontations. Despite the promises of epic moments, Wrestlepalooza fell a little short.
