WWE’s upcoming premium live event, Wrestlepalooza 2025, has just received a major boost with the official addition of a high-stakes tag team match featuring The Usos against the powerhouse duo of Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker.

The event, scheduled for Saturday, September 20, 2025, at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, promises to deliver blockbuster WWE action as it marks the first Wrestlepalooza event to be broadcast live on ESPN in the U.S. and Netflix internationally[1].

The Usos Call Out Bronson Reed & Bron Breakker on Raw
The Usos made a dramatic entrance into the arena, weaving through the crowd before Jey Uso took center stage to confront the emerging talents, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. Jey accused them of trying to “take shortcuts and steal the spotlight” from established champions, igniting a war of words that escalated into an official challenge for the tag team title, now booked for Wrestlepalooza[3].
According to WWE insiders, this match is set to showcase a classic clash of experience versus youthful power. The Usos, known for their chemistry and championship pedigree, will face Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker, two of the promotion’s physically dominant stars making a strong push on the roster[1][3].
A source close to WWE told Fightful that backstage excitement around this new addition is palpable. “The energy between these four athletes is electrifying, and WWE management believes this match will steal the show,” the insider explained. “They’re looking to use this bout to highlight the future stars while giving fans a solid old-school tag team performance”[2].
