WWE is reportedly returning to Indianapolis for another Premium Live Event less than eight months after the Royal Rumble came to the Circle City. And the main event is apparently a big one.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, John Cena will headline the show with Brock Lesnar.
“It can change, but the main event for this show is Brock Lesnar and John Cena,” Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio. “So it’s a big one. Which is why Brock’s not in Paris, is because of this. They wanted him for this show, not for the Paris show. And that’s where Logan Paul got the gig.”
Lesnar returned to WWE on the second night of Summerslam in August to attack Cena. Cena was the runner-up at the Royal Rumble match in Indy after being eliminated by Jey Uso.
WWE has yet to announce the September show in Indianapolis or what the name will be.
In 2024, a multi-year deal between Indiana Sports Corp and WWE was announced. It included the 2025 Royal Rumble and a future Wrestlemania and Summerslam at Lucas Oil Stadium. The deal also ensured Gainbridge Fieldhouse as the host of yearly Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown tapings, as well as other select events and WWE NXT shows.
The deal between ISC and WWE is estimated to have an economic impact of more than $300 million. A target date has not been set for WrestleMania or SummerSlam.
