WWE Confirms Women’s World Title, Rhodes-McIntyre For Wrestlepalooza

WWE has officially announced Stephanie Vaquer vs. IYO SKY for the vacant Women’s World Championship at Wrestlepalooza on September 20, marking the first confirmed match for the event. The title was vacated by Naomi due to her pregnancy, and both Vaquer and SKY were originally scheduled to challenge Naomi before the vacancy. The contract signing for the match is set for the September 8 episode of WWE Raw. Wrestlepalooza will be WWE’s first premium live event on ESPN and is expected to feature other high-profile matches, including Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena and Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre. Additional potential matches include Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins teaming against CM Punk and AJ Lee, as well as Rhea Ripley vs. Asuka, possibly tied to Asuka’s reported heel turn. The event is positioned as a major competition to AEW’s All Out, both occurring on the same date.
