Today’s episode of ESPN’s SportsCenter show featured WWE commentator Joe Tessitore as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Tessitore’s thoughts about WWE’s upcoming Wrestlepalooza event on September 20th and revealed that the match of John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar will be the main event of the show.
Understand this, Brock Lesnar is a different beast. He is literally ‘The Beast Incarnate.’ In all my years of being in combat sports, I don’t care if it’s early on covering Mike Tyson or later stages here with WWE and all of the championship fights I’ve covered — I have never experienced anybody quite like just the physical presence of Brock Lesnar. The air changes when he enters the arena, and that is going to be your main event at Wrestlepalooza.”
Tessitore also gave his thoughts about AJ Lee’s recent return to WWE and making her in-ring return for the first time in a decade at Wrestlepalooza.
“She was this amazing character going back over a decade ago that everybody loved. Then she went away from the business, she retired, she had success in other arenas in life. Her husband, CM Punk, made a huge return a couple years ago. And then all of a sudden, if you could have heard this pop [last Friday]. I’m sitting there broadcasting this thing up in Milwaukee. People love her.”
