Wrestlepalooza 2025 is already shaping up to be one of the year’s most unforgettable WWE events, largely thanks to a mixed tag-team match that blends personal rivalries, historic comebacks, and the end of an undefeated run.
For the first time since March 2015, AJ Lee will step back into the ring. And she won’t be alone, joining her is husband CM Punk, who continues to fuel WWE’s hottest rivalry. Their opponents? None other than World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and “The Man” Becky Lynch, WWE’s undisputed power couple.
Undefeated Streaks on the Line
What makes this clash even more fascinating is the battle of perfect records:
-
CM Punk & AJ Lee: Undefeated as a tag team with a 2–0 record, dating back to 2012.
-
Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch: Flawless at 3–0 in their 2019 mixed tag outings.
As noted by @WrestleStatcast, these streaks set the stage for a historic collision. When the dust settles in Indianapolis, one duo’s undefeated legacy will officially be broken.
Punk vs. Rollins: A Bitter Rivalry Renewed
The figures are not the core of this competition, but the simmering hatred between CM Punk and Seth Rollins.
- Rollins also referred to Punk as a cancer when he was suspended by AEW.
- Punk won the steel cage in the Netflix launch of Raw.
- Rollins responded by nailing Punk in the main event of WrestleMania 41 on Saturday.
- Rollins next embarrassed Punk by dethroning his WWE title in a few minutes.
- During Clash in Paris, Rollins defended the World Heavyweight Championship in a four-way match, which was in part due to the interference of Becky Lynch.
There are no greater stakes in the feud now that AJ Lee and Becky Lynch are involved.
The Added Dimension: AJ Lee and Becky Lynch.
The return of AJ Lee has a strong dose of nostalgia, and Becky Lynch is a known headliner, which is why this match is not a continuation of Punk vs. Rollins. It is a battle of legacy couples, who are not only trying to prove personal pride, but also to demonstrate marital supremacy in the world arena.
The highlight of the whole event on September 20th at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis will be a concluding point of several storylines uniting, so this match is not just a display but a war in a chapter itself.
My Take
- This is not the common mixed tag. It is a long-term storytelling masterpiece in a single high-profile confrontation:
- The Return by AJ Lee: It is seismic itself, a rekindling of the fan nostalgia.
- Redemption Arc of CM Punk: An opportunity to outlast Rollins decisively at last.
- The Dominance by Rollins and Lynch is a chance to show that they are a partnership of gold in WWE.
- The Streak Factor: This is when the person has a perfect streak and the result is historic.
There will be drama, technical mastery, emotional recollection, and highlights that will reverberate in years to come. Wrestlepalooza is not a mere match delivery, but a generation to the fans.
