WWE Evolve 4/2/2025

WWE Evolve 4/2/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/03/wwe-evolve-3262025.html

Pete Rosenberg and Robert Stone are on commentary.

We get a package on Brinley Reece. We saw some of it a few episodes ago and there were just new highlights only.

Zayda Steel does a video. She says she's the real deal and says she's the first WWE ID prospect. She says she's not afraid of anything and is ready for it at all.

Brinley Reece vs Zayda Steel

This is Zayda Steel's WWE TV debut. They lock up and Brin takes her down by the arm. Zay headscissors her. Jackson Drake is in the VIP Section.

Zay slaps Brin. Brin takes her down by the arm and slaps her. Brin yanks her arm. Zay armdrags her. Brin does a forward cartwheel over her. Brin flips her off the backslide into a drop on her chest for 2.

Zay slides and upkicks her. Zay then stomps on her. Zay hits boots to the gut in the corner. Brin hits her in the gut. Zay kicks her over the 2nd rope then codebreakers her for 2. Brin backdrops her. Brin shoulders her over then flapjacks her. Brin forward cartwheel lariats her for 2.

Zay backrolls her for 2. Brin hits a TKO and wins.

Thoughts: Zayda isn't that good yet and this wasn't that good. Brin was fine but Zayda didn't bring much to this. There weren't any clear faces or heels and there weren't any major highlights in this. I don't like Brin's new gear.

Swipe Right comes out and they check on Zayda.

Kylie Rae and Zara Zakher talk in the back. KR says she is trying to stay calm. Zara brings up Wendy and she gets owkred up. KR says she doesn't want to look her in the eyes. Zara says she's a fighter and fighters fight. KR says she will try.

We get a package on Keanu Carver. 

We get a package on Luca Crusifino as well. He says Tony D told him to push the influence of The Family on this show. He says he's here to make a statement and a name for himself. 

Keanu Carver vs Luca Crusafino

Luca tries to suplex him, fails and gets pounced. KC then gets a 2 count. KC hits a running enka-otoshi variation on Luca and pins him.

Thoughts: It was KC's longest TV match yet. He did fine here. KC took a lot more offense than expected and I can't believe they let Luca kick out of the pounce. Luca did fine as well and showed why he's basically being used like a vet here. I would have let KC look a little stronger though. KC got his mouth busted open here. I thought this was decent.

Chantel Monroe vs Masyn Holiday

I think this is both girls 2nd WWE TV match. KC dances on her way to the ring.

CM does a cobra clutch variation and misses a knee drop on the arm. MH shoulders her over then flying shoulders her. MH slams CM for 2. CM codebreakers the arm then rolls her up while grabbing the titles. CM gets the win.

Thoughts:
It was fine with CM working the arm and winning with a roll up after a codebreaker on the arm. I thought MH could have did a bit better selling the arm but I had no real issues with this otherwise.

Chuey Martinez interviews Chantel after. She says she got 2 straight wins and asks if Chuey is surprised. She says she's not. She says all she sees is a winner in the mirror. She says winners win championships. She says she heard whispers about the Evolve Women's Championship and says she will be the center of the title conversation. 

They do a face-off with Dani Palmer and Kali Armstrong. Kali says she should be on the ground where she leaves her next week. Dani says they aren't a good team but they are here to evolve their talents. Kali mocks her and says she has a loser's mentality. Dani says she will have a short career if she acts like this. Kali says she is doing fine and will do fine if she's not handcuffed to a girl like her.

Dani says Kali is trying to push all her buttons until she gets a response. She says she will save it for the match. She says Kali is writing a check her skills can't cash. Kali says it's not the 90's anymore and no one writes checks. They get in each other's faces as the segment ends.

Harlem Lewis vs Joe Coffey

Thoughts: I liked it. Joe always works well with the heavies and this was no exception. It looked like a solid match on paper and it was indeed a solid heavyweight battle. I'd like to see this one again to be honest as I think they could do even better. 

HL says how about Harlem Lewis? after.

Wendy Choo vs Kylie Rae

Stone called Choo "The Gatekeeper of Evolve".

Choo offers a handshake but slowly pulls back. Choo side headlock takeovers her. KR headscissors her. Choo handstands out and side headlocks her. Choo shoulders her over. Choo rolls over her and they stare down on their knees. KR backs up in the corner then armdrags her into a headflip.

KR flying headscissors her. KR dropkicks her. Choo pulls KR's neck down over the top rope. Choo grabs her by the hair outside. Choo headtwists KR with her feet ala Zack Sabre Jr. Choo cartwheel forearms her then corner facekicks her for 2.

KR spnning forearms her. Choo catches KR off the ropes and full nelson slams her. Choo does a grounded cobra clutch variation and wins.

Thoughts:
It got a decent bit of time and was alright. There was nothing too great about it but everyone hit their moves clean and it didn't have too many issues. Both girls tried here and they tried to push KR not being afraid of Choo anymore.

Choo whips a blanket at the camera over KR as we close the show.

Overall thoughts: I liked the show. Nothing was awful here. Lewis/Coffey was the best match of the night easy and Carver/Luca was decent. Masyn and Monroe had an acceptable bout for their skill level and the main was fine. The opener was the weakest thing on here. I'd still like some backstage segments and more interviews to get the wrestlers over better but it was a fun show. I'd give it a 6 out of 10. You don't need to see it, but it was good.

AEW Dynamite 4/2/2025

AEW Dynamite 4/2/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/03/aew-dynamite-3262025.html

SS hits a house call kick on Marina when she pushes Mox out of the way. Willow sends Mox through a table but the camera's miss it. Willow doctor bombs Marina to win.

Thoughts:
It was the worst of AEW all in one with the missing camera shots, Willow getting her head smacked off a table, partners doing moves to partners and the girls beating up the guys with the guys doing nothing in return. Mox will choke people with bags, put people through fire and barbed wire but hitting a woman is just too dastardly for him. This was stupid, dangerous and had horrible logic.

Mox then ddt's Willow after, because he's an idiot who likes to lose matches. The announcers make it seem like he did such a bad thing but had no problem with Willow hitting the guys. Doc Sampson then checks on Willow after.

Renee interviews FTR and the ref Paul Turner. Dax was fined for putting his hands on the ref. He apologizes to Paul and gives the money he was fined to Paul. Paul thanks him and says it means a lot. Renee asks if FTR can put their issues aside and Dax says they can as they've been together for 11 years and can't let it go over one event on Collision. Dax apologizes to Cash and tries to hug him. Cash says they are brothers and will be fine, but they need to talk on Sunday.

They announce the Owen Hart Tournament brackets. It's Ospreay/Knight, Brody/Takeshita, Briscoe/Fletcher and Page/?. Jay White was supposed to be in the open spot but was attacked by The Death Riders off screen. The women's bracket has Hayter/Starkz, Rosa/Statlander, Julia Hart/Mone and Harley/Athena.

Thoughts: Toni won as expected. It was a way to get Toni on TV and get her win. It was acceptable and they kept things moving here with lots of action.

Megan Bayne comes out and claps for Toni after. Toni tells her to come on and holds the title up at her. 

Willow is being checked on in the back. Swerve says Willow is strong and brave. He says Willow welcomed the challenge tonight. Swerve is mad at Mox for DDT'ing Willow even though he knew she had neck issues. Swerve says he won't rest until he has his hands on Mox.

Thoughts: This was stupid. Willow wasn't exactly some angel out there as she hit Mox first during the match.

MVP and Bobby Lashley come out to the ring. MJF then comes out. MJF says MVP looks good tonight. MJF says "Bob" disrespected him last week but he will let it slide. He says he doesn't know him like MVP does. MJF then introduces himself. MJF then says he loves Shelton, who he said has travel issues today. MJF says Bobby is standing on the block he built.

MJF says he might not want MJF, but he needs him. Bobby says he doesn't like or trust him. He says The Hurt Syndicate doesn't need him. Bobby says he needs to prove himself or get out of the ring. MJF tells the crowd they stink and leaves.

The Learning Tree (Big Bill and Bryan Keith) vs 2 jobbers

Bill throws a jobber then hits a facekick. MVP and Lashley watch. Bill gorilla presses the jobber out. Another jobber hits Bill from behind. Bill chokes him then throws him into a Bryan knee. Bill chokeslams the jobber and pins him with his foot on his face.

Thoughts: It was all squash as expected and just there to get some interaction between The Hurt's and Bill/Bryan.

Bill says they whooped Top Flight's @ss, whooped them tonight and says they will whoop The Hurt's on Sunday for the tag titles.

Renee interviews Mercedes Mone. Mone says Julia Hart is serious and unpredictable. She says she's a former TBS champ but the greatest TBS champ like her. Harley Cameron then puts the Mone puppet in Mone's face. Harley said they tore the house in Australia. Mone tells her to stay out of her way on Collision. Harley says they will be called the Money Wrath Train on Collision.

Will Ospreay and Kevin Knight vs Lee Johnson and Blake Christian

Will hook kicks Blake. Lee is put on Blake's shoulders then Kevv dropkicks Blake. Will plancha's outside. Kev springboard lariats Lee.

Thoughts: They did a nice job highlighting Kevin Knight here. It was all flying as expected. I guess I was alright with this as it was all flying and they didn't overdo it.

Tony Schiavone says on the mic that Will vs Kevin Knight in the Owen Hart Tournament takes place at Dynasty.

Thoughts: Will has been featured as one of the top AEW guys and this is definitely a step down for him on a PPV.

The Ops do a video in the garage. Joe says the battlefield and nature of war was changing so he needed a different arsenal when he came back. Joe says they will be at Dynasty and will watch all.

Brody King vs Lance Archer

They lock up, let go and charge at each other. They shoulder battle and trade forearms. Lance facekicks him and lariats him over the top. Lance cannonballs him off the apron. King crossbodies Lance against the rail. Don Callis trips Brody. Lance then kicks Brody.

Brody is sent into the steps. Lance chops him and Brody chops back. Brody's head is banged off the commentary table. We go to PiP break and return.

Lance corner lariats him then takes a corner splash. Brody hits a corner cannonball. Brody lariats Lance for 2 then hits another and wins.

Thoughts:
Oh of course Lance lost. There's no one on the roster he hasn't lost to at this point. It was a decent heavyweight match with them dropping bombs on each other and having a hoss style match. It wasn't the best it could have been but they did fine here.

Cope vs Claudio Castagnoli

Cope has some bright neon green and black gear on.

CC goes after Cope as he enters. CC hits boots in the corner. CC sends him into the rails. CC corner euros him against the rails then foot chokes him there.

Cope crossfaces CC and CC ropebreaks. CC powerslams Cope on the apron then throws him over the rail. CC running lariats him as he gets in for 2. CC springboards into a big boot from Cope. CC pop-up euros Cope. CC neutralizers Cope for 2. CC goes for a conchairto. The ref stops him. Cope low blows CC. Cope spears CC and wins.

Thoughts:
I don't know why The Death Riders didn't interfere here. It was long and not that good. They did a bit too much and didn't sell enough in this one for me. It also had a slow pace. I thought Cope was really risking injury with the top rope bulldog.

Renee tries to talk to Swerve and Nana in the back. The argue and Nana leaves. Swerve says he's looking for Renee's husband Mox. Adam Page pops up behind Swerve. He tells Swerve he's wasting his time. Page says he promised Swerve won't hold the title again. Security breaks them up as they argue. Page says Swerve broke into his house. Swerve says Page burned his house down. Page says he deserved it. Swerve says "he knows". Page walks off. Swerve then gets jumped by The Death Riders.  Swerve is sent into some kind of glass.

Serve is dragged to the ring. They pour broken glass into the ring. Swerve is powerbombed onto glass. Swerve then sits up.

Overall thoughts: It was a heavy wrestling show as often is the case. I hated everything about the opener and thought the main was long, but the other matches were okay enough. I didn't really get what the point of the MJF/Hurt Syndicate segment was but maybe it'll play into something at the PPV. I thought the Ospreay tag was random, but at least the match was okay. Brody/Lance was also fine. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall as some of the low points of this brought it down.

TNA Xplosion 3/28/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/03/tna-xplosion-3212025.html

Here's the new content this week:

Around The Ring with Gia Miller

Maggie Lee is this week's guest. Gia says she has a good feeling about her. Gia asks her most embarassing childhood memory. She said she was a horse girl. She said she got a horse named Butterscotch but she was allergic to it.

Gia talks about a horse and they talk about horse movies. 

Steve Maclin vs Joe Alonzo

Joe comes out with a mic. They say he is from Texas but he says he's from Chicago. He tells the crowd to get up and applaud for him but htye just boo him. He then talks in Spanish and tells them to applaud for him. He says the crowd hates him because they aren't him. He says he'd hate him too if he weren't Joe Alonzo.

Steve hits lariats then does a thesz press with punches. Steve olympic slams him. Joe takes a crosshairs spear then Steve hits a KIA to win.

Thoughts:
It was a random match here but they tried. The crowd was surprisingly really hot and definitely gave this one more heat than it probably deserved. They did what they could with it and it was fine with Joe losing as expected. Joe should probably change his hairstyle though and not wear shirts out to the ring as it made him look too young to be a threat.

Overall thoughts: There was only one new match and one interview segment as usual. The interview segment wasn't good. Maclin/Alonzo was fine but it wasn't anything you really need to see.

Thoughts: It was short and not that much as expected. They just didn't have much time and it takes Shayna 10 minutes just to get started, yet alone to do a whole match.

Overall thoughts: There was only one new match as usual here. It was short, not that good and nothing you really need to see.

WWE NXT 4/1/2025

WWE NXT 4/1/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/03/wwe-nxt-3252025.html

We see various wrestlers arrive earlier in the day.

Stephanie Vaquer comes out and Ava is in the ring. Ava says SV has shown why she is La Primiera and says she showed why she's the champ she is. She says both titles deserve to be defended frequently and they agreed that SV will relinquish the N-A Title. The next champ will be determined in a 6-woman ladder match at Stand and Deliver.

SV says she knows it's not a popular decision. She says NXT has given her opportunities and she wants to do the same for everyone else. She says she will give up the N-A Title if she gets to pick her opponent at Stand and Deliver.

Jordynne Grace comes out. Grace says now that Jaida Parker is out of the picture, they can fight at Stand and Deliver. Jaida Parker comes out. JP says she's here and not out of the picture.

Inamura and Briggs talk in the back. Inamura wants to go to Stand and Deliver. Wes Lee, Dupont and Igwe enter. The two sides argue. Inamura says Wes used to fight with honor and challenges him for tonight. Wes tells him to prepare to be disappointed like his Stand and Deliver dreams.

Ava says only one will get in the ladder match as they face each other in the qualifier.

The D'Angelo Family talk about The Dark State in a warehouse with their crew. They say Dion Lennox is a puzzle who was a bookworm but was also a linebacker. He says he has a mouth and says he is a hothead with a short temper. He says he has degrees in psychology and is manipulative.

Luca says Osiris Griffin is a former lineman. He says he was told OG has great instincts. Rizzo says Cutler James was a high level wrestler from Duke. She says he has an unlimited gas tank and likes to break will and spirit. She says he did spartan races walking through water with logs on his back. Stacks says Saquon Shugars is the wildcard and turned down an offer from Harvard. He says people listen and follow to him and is a smooth talker.

Tony says it doesn't sound like they have some meatballs trying to get TV time, they have bad@sses. Stacks and Tony argue over what to do. Tony says Stacks plan didn't work well last time and he has to trust him this time. Tony says he will review what they said and says to keep your phones on. 

Hank and Tank are wearing Pretty Deadly's gear. They tell Pretty Deadly it wasn't the advice they were looking for. Elton says they need to look like stars to be stars. Elton says they need to be a team and need to feel it. The No Quarter Catch Crew walk by and says they about to get their @sses kicked in a few minutes.

We get a video on The Culling. Niko says rage and aggression are seen as a strength by Spears. Brooks says Shawn needs to repeat the steps he taught them tonight. Shawn says he cherishes them all and says the skills they taught each other, he will use against Ricky Saints.

Thoughts:
It was a shorter one. They kept a good pace to it and what we got was fine but it was over before it really go to develop.

Trick Williams comes out. He says he called out Oba and didn't hear from him. Trick says even if Oba is champ, he's the man here. Je'Von Evans comes out. Trick says not to interrupt him. Evans says he understands him now. Evans says Trick was him this time last year. He says then Trick became NXT's golden child. Evans says he wants the #1 spot like Trick did. He says he doesn't need to be in someone's shadow to get it though.

Trick says Evans is in his shadow now. He says Evans doesn't know about selling tickets and repping the brand. He says winning the title is great but defending it is a different subject. He says he's 1-1. Evans says Trick doesn't know who he is. He says he's not Trick Williams, he's Carmelo Hayes.

He says Trick is telling him everything Melo told him. He says Trick can run him down to make himself feel better. He says he did something Trick never did and that's drop Oba Femi.

Oba Femi comes out. He tells Evans to say that nonsense to his face. Evans says he got a lucky shot and says never again. Evans says he would jump him again to become champ. Trick says better lucky next time and Oba tells him to shut up. Oba says Evans may be the future of NXT but it won't be at his expense. Oba says the now belongs to him.

Trick tells Evans to excuse himself. Oba says he can see both want a shot at the NXT Title. Ava says this can only end one way and signs Oba Femi vs Trick Williams vs Je'Von Evans in a triple threat title match at Stand and Deliver. Trick knocks Evans out. Oba lariats Trick over the top.

The Deep State then come out. They attack the three. Evans is catapulted into a double back body drop and Oba is booted out of the ring. Trick is surrounded and group beaten. Trick is thrown into a double powerbomb.

Thoughts: I still don't like them turning Trick into a more heelish character but this is really the only S&D main NXT could have done outside of just a straight Oba vs Trick match.

Andre Chase is told he cracked his rib against Ethan Page last week and there's no timetable for recovery. He is asked if he has a ride home. He says he's alone.

Thoughts: The break cut this one up some but I liked what we got. Ricky was a good face here and the crowd was super into him. Ricky really hustled here and showed some potential. I was a bit surprised they had him win with Stand and Deliver coming up though as you'd think they would want to crown him there.

Ethan Page then comes out and hits a cutter on Ricky. He then poses over him with the title. 

Overall thoughts: It was a good show overall. They really only have about 2 weeks til Stand and Deliver and it's surprising that the card isn't fully set yet. Something screwed up there. We only got 4 matches on this one which was a bit low, especially for this roster and not all of them were that long. Ricky winning the title worked out well and his Stand and Deliver challenger is already set. I liked the Oba/Trick/Evans segment as well. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10 overall.

RATEL'S (HAYATA, Tadasuke, YO-HEY & Yuto Kikuchi) vs. Team 2000X (Daga, Jack Morris, Owadasan & Tetsuya Endo)

Yuto did a tope con hilo and a handspring corkscrew kick inside the ring. Endo kicked out of an electric chair chest drop for 2. Endo picked up Yuto like a powerbomb then dropped him back into a low blow to win.

Thoughts: As usual, Kaz didn't bring a whole lot to this. He didn't sell much and was not letting anyone really get over anything on him. Ulka tried and didn't look too out of his league. It was acceptable but it was nothing you'd remember.

They shake hands after.

Thoughts: It was a disappointing end to a decent match Hopefully Trew is okay. It's not the end of the world for Ama and Jun but it was maybe the biggest match of Lacey's and Trew's career. The spot Trew got injured on looked brutal with Ama really getting some force. I liked what we got but sadly, we didn't get to see an ending.

Thoughts: It was a longer match. The lumberjacks cheated for Ozawa as expected and got into it with the face lumberjacks as expected. Lumberjack matches are never great because of all the shenanigans that goes on and this was no exception. I thought they did alright with this but I probably would have had Soya beat up Ozawa a little more. I popped for Soya doing Ozawa's face-licking spot and for jumping off the top onto the lumberjacks outside.. It was a borderline good main but you don't really need to see it.

The heels beat up Soya a bit more after and pose on him. They then talk on the mic.  Ozawa gets on the mic and Soya is crying outside. He says Soya doesn't taste good but Tadasuke is tasty. He says Soya is not NOAH born and doesn't know the teaching of the NOAH Dojo. Masa Kitamiya stops Ozawa and says the NOAH Dojo is tough. Masa challenges Ozawa and says he's coming to shut him up.

Ozawa says he doesn't need the GHC National Title and throws it. He says this is Masa's champ to take it and become champ. He says Masa will always be a mid-tier wrestler and tells him to go home. Oz says he is now at the helm and says he will say how things go at the NOAH dojo.

Overall thoughts: It was an average show. NOAH just doesn't have the roster right now. I liked the main best. The semi-main was on the right track but then ended due to a legit knockout. Masa/Marufuji wasn't that good and Fujita didn't really hold up his end of the tag. The opener was okay and we had some comedy from Masao Inoue and Black Mensore that was what it was. There wasn't anything you really needed to see here and I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall.

Thoughts: As usual, I see Volcano and Kraneo and think it'll suck because Kraneo can't move, but then they figure it out somehow and it turns into a fun match. Volcano looked like an impressive big man as usual and Pantera looked great here. He just moves so well and is athletic so he can make simple dives look even better. I enjoyed this one and was surprised that they were able to make this work.

Lightning Match - Soberano Jr. vs Neon

Thoughts: It was mostly the Neon show here. Sob didn't do that much except superkicks and one moonsault. I was surprised to see Neon win and was surprised it wasn't more competitive. They only had 10-15 minutes here and they definitely tried to keep things under that time limit so it wasn't that great.

Overall thoughts: It was an average show. I liked the second match best. The first match went way too long and wasn't that good. The main didn't get enough time here. I would just give it a 5 out of 10 and wouldn't really recommend it.
