WWE’s Premium Live Events mostly have more broadcasts than just the PLE to signify the importance of the event, ranging from panel talks and press conferences before and/or after the show, to extra matches or special social media broadcasts of classic matches.
In this article, we will list what festivities the Wrestlepalooza PLE will have in store on Netflix, ESPN, and beyond! We will only list dedicated broadcasts with a chronological, comprehensive list of programming with both US and international broadcasting options below. As a small note, SportsCenter will have its 9/19 6 PM portion dedicated to Wrestlepalooza in Indianapolis, as well with other ESPN programming having WWE Superstars appear to hype the PLE up.
Starting the weekend off, Peter Rosenberg will host the ESPN Wrestlepalooza Special on Friday, September 19th at 3 PM EST in a one-hour special on ESPN2 and ESPN Unlimited on the ESPN App. Indiana Pacer’s Tyrese Haliburton will co-analyze the matches alongside Rosenberg. There is no knowledge on where to watch the Wrestlepalooza Special outside of the United States as of this writing.
Booker T and ESPN Radio’s Brad Gillmore will host the Hall of Fame’s Countdown to WrestlePalooza on ESPN Radio from 10 PM EST until midnight. Although the times are very US-based, ESPN Radio could be available outside of the US if you look hard enough as radio channels are generally easier to find internationally.
At 3 PM EST/8 PM BST, ESPN will host an on-site pre-show broadcast of Wrestlepalooza called Road to Wrestlepalooza on ESPN’s various social media channels (including YouTube) and ESPN Unlimited. The essentially pre-pre-show will air until 5 PM EST/10 PM BST, where WWE’s own produced Countdown to Wrestlepalooza will take over on ESPN Unlimited (US-only) and WWE’s social media channels (worldwide). Unless the Countdown to Wrestlepalooza gets geoblocked, that broadcast will be available internationally on ESPN’s YouTube channel.
The main Wrestlepalooza Premium Live Event, featuring Brock Lesnar vs John Cena and Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre will be the first PLE airing on ESPN Unlimited in the United States. Most territories outside of the US will be able to watch Wrestlepalooza on Netflix, while a select few territories will have to tune into the WWE Network (which will have the Countdown To and Post-Show included in the feed), Abema or other legacy WWE PLE broadcast distributor, depending on the country.
The WWE Wrestlepalooza Post-Show will air right after the main event, staying on ESPN Unlimited in the US and switching over to YouTube for all other countries in the world (although available in the US as well)
