In a surprise announcement, WWE reveals that Wrestlepalooza will stream on ESPN, not Peacock. The move happens sooner than expected, setting up a head-to-head showdown with AEW's All Out on September 20.

WWE will soon finish up its PLE commitments, paving the way for the shows to move to ESPN earlier than expected.

Earlier this month, it was announced that WWE and ESPN reached an agreement for the broadcaster to become the exclusive home of premium live events starting in 2026. The deal reportedly was for a whopping total of $1.625 billion over five years, with an annual value of $325 million.

WWE is switching streaming partners to the yet-to-launch ESPN Unlimited app in a deal valued at $1.6 billion, but fans are questioning if the increased price and limited content will be worth it.

With WWE and ESPN announcing the early start of their partnership, a new deal with Peacock will now bring "Saturday Night's Main Event" to streaming.

WWE Wrestlepalooza will take place on September 20 on the ESPN app, going head-to-head with AEW All Out. The company took to social media this afternoon to officially announce the event, tweeting out: “BREAKING NEWS: WWE Wrestlepalooza will be the first Premium Live Event on @espn!

Wrestlepalooza will run directly opposite All Elite Wrestling's marquee PPV, AEW All Out. Launching a new PPV on the same day as All Out continues WWE's recent pattern of running events opposite the No. 2 U.S. wrestling promotion.
