3/13 notes

I should have JCW and/or ROH up later then Smackdown.

I believe there's a special episode of ROH also being shown today. I'll probably focus on yesterday's ROH and JCW first.

TNA Impact 3/12/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/tna-impact-352026.html

Tom Hannifan and Matt Rehwoldt are on commentary.

The Hardys (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy) vs. Sinner And Saint (Judas Icarus & Travis Williams)

Matt and Trav lock up. Matt clean breaks him in the corner then wristlocks him. Trav bridges, flips out and escapes. They trade side headlocks. Matt back elbows him out of the corner and bangs his head off the buckles. Jeff 2nd rope elbow drops Trav's arm. Jeff jumps off Matt's back with a lariat on Trav.

Judas tosses Trav at Matt and he dropkicks Matt. Matt takes an arm wringer + jawbreaker combo. Matt back body drops Judas. Jeff hits shots on Judas then atomic drops him. Jeff legdrops him in the gut and basement dropkicks him. Jeff elbow drops him for 2.

Jeff goes up top and Judas sweeps him there. Trav misses a top rope frogsplash. Jeff bends him backwards wit hthe spinal destination and submits him.

Thoughts: It wasn't good. Jeff's new submission is too weak to really buy as being a finisher. The Hardy's were not moving well at all here and Matt hit some bad shots.

Jeff swantons Travis off the top after.

The Elegance Brand are interviewed. They tell ODB and Mickie James to stay out of their business. They say Mr. Elegance debuts next week. Goldy Locks comes in. She says she misses the job and place and says how dare they disrespect Gia, ODB and Mickie. She says Gia is doing an amazing job and earned this, something they know nothing about. Goldy says she might make the call to bring back her old friends and remind them where they stand. Mr. Elegance says she was working here when he was four years old. Goldy tells him to sit down as the adults are talking.

Thoughts: Seeing Goldy again was a surprise.

Indi Hartwell vs Kelsey Heather

Indi waistlock takedowns her. They wristlock each other. Kel tries to roll out but Indi keeps the hold on. Kel's takeover is blocked then Indi shoulders her over. Kel back elbows her then misses a handspring back elbow. Indi suplexes her.

Kel double throat thrusts her and hits corner spears. Kel boots her in the corner. Kel casadora split bulldogs her. Kel basement dropkicks her. Kel misses a 2nd rope moonsault. Indi hits lariats. Indi spinebusters her. Indi hits a twisting full-nelson slam and pins her.

Thoughts: If I didn't know any better, I'd think Kelsey was the star here and Indi would be the one getting squash. Kel had a decent showing and Indi struggled to make the basics look good.

Indi says she's not just happy be here. She says she came here to become Knockouts champ. She says the person holding it now doesn't deserve it. She tells Arianna Grace she wants her sport.

Arianna Grace and Stacks come out. She says Indi can get in line if she wants a title shot. She brings up Lei, Dani and Tessa and says they are saying the same things as her. She says Indi isn't close to being on her level. Indi says she's above her level and didn't have her daddy knocking down doors for her. She says she's taking the belt soon and becoming TNA Knockout champ.

The Hardy's thank The Righteous for sacrificing themselves in the tag match. Vince says it was an honor. They talk about the Hardy's vs Sinner and Saint match. The Righteous says they inspired. Matt says wrestling is bigger than them. Vince says The System are coming for them and will do everything they can to get it. Vince says they will be there for them when they have one foot in the grave.

The Nemeth's come in. Nic says there's other teams coming for the tag titles like them. Vince says they are making a bad decision and disrespecting The Hardy's. Ryan says he pinned Jeff Hardy and they walk off laughing.

Trey Miguel, Rich Swann and BDE vs Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skylar and Jason Hotch)

ALi has shorter hair now. All 6 fight to start. The heels are thrown out. Rich takes a bridging ddt on the floor. Trey is double teamed outside. Trey takes a double spinebuster on the apron edge. Ali chops BDE down then back elbows him. BDE takes a double shoulderblock for 1.

John and BDE each hit shots and John gets the edge. BDE cradles him for 2. BDE is overhead belly to belly suplexed into the buckles. BDE takes a double neckbreaker. We go to break and return.

Trey headscissors John then step up enzugiri's Jason. Trey slingblade neckbreakers Ali over the back then double stomps John's back for 2.

Tasha Steelz gets on the apron and Jada Stone pulls her down. Jada hits shots and Tasha runs. Jada then jumps off the ramp onto her. John short arm lariats Trey. BDE os cutters John. Jason swinging backbreakers BDE. Trey germans Jason out. Trey then knee slides into a canadian destroyer on the floor on Jason. Ali topes Trey. Rich kicks Ali from the apron and John spears Rich on the apron.

Trey flatliners John then lightning spirals him to win.

Thoughts: It was a decent match as expected with them picking up the pace and doing a bunch of flying near the end. This was entertaining and was what it looked like it would be.

Ali eyes Trey's International Title and hands it to him after.

TNA Injury Report

The Home Town Man is cleared. Leon Slater is out with neck issues from Eric Young's piledriver. Cedric Alexander and Moose are cleared.

Daria Rae tells Mike Santana that if he touches Steve Maclin, he will be stripped of the title. Mike says Daria was just hired here to make people's lives hell. Santino Marella walks in. He says if Maclin lays a finger on Santana, he will be fired and deleted from the TNA archives. They both say what they did is best for business. Steve Maclin walks in and says, "sup champ?" to Mike.

Thoughts: They officially announces that Steve Maclin was re-signed this week even though he was fired in storyline. This storyline has been awful and really hurt the Feast or Fired gimmick.

Arianna Grace complains to Stacks about everyone wanting a title shot. Stacks says that's how it works. Grace says that's not how it works and she should be celebrated. They see Indi Hartwell around the wall. Stacks yells at Indi. Indi tells her to get out of here. Grace hits Indi in the leg with the title then stomps her. Santino comes in and says they can't do this. Stacks says he did and asks what he will do about it. Santino kicks him out of the building.

Steve Maclin comes out to talk. We see Mike Santana in the crowd. Steve says it feels good to be back and it's like he never left. He says he had to apologize to Tom Hannifan and the fans to return. He thanks Daria Rae and rips Santino. Steve gives Tom a non-apology and calls him weak.

Steve says it's been a while since he has been champ and backstage politics took it from him. Steve tells Mike Santana he saw an opportunity and took it. He says he knew Mike's would get him back and says he uses his addiction to get fans to care about him. Steve says maybe he should film his meeting at the VA and play messages from his dad like Mike did. Steve says he can't as his dad is dead too and he doesn't remember what it sounds like. Steve says he met death and knows what it's like unlike Mike. He says this is about more than the TNA Title and the person Mike let out of the door. He says the people will meet Mr. Mayhem. He says Mayhem is for all.

AJ Francis vs Elijah

Frankie Kazarian is on commentary for this. Eli hits chops and punches in the corner. Eli lariats him over the top rope. Eli slingshot plancha's him outside. Eli bangs AJ's face off the apron. Eli running flying knees him from the outside as he lays on the bottom rope.

Eli walks the top rope and AJ grabs him. AJ pop-up forearms him down. AJ chokes him against the 2nd rope. AJ chinlocks him around the ropes then clubs him. AJ hits Tennessee whiskey. Eli alabama slams AJ. Eli flying forearms him in the corner and hits a forearm flurry there.

Eli goes up and over and jumping knees him for 2. They fight on the buckles. Eli rope walks into a canadian destroyer on AJ for 2. Eli superkicks AJ outside. Eli throws a drink at Kaz. Kaz pulls ELi's throat over the top and AJ chokeslams Eli to win.

Thoughts: AJ shouldn't have been taking flapjacks and canadian destroyers. He's too big for that and those types of things should finish someone like him. I was surprised to see him win here.

AJ and Kaz double team Eli after. The Home Town Man makes the save with a pipe.

Eric Young asks if Leon Slater is okay. He asks if his neck hurts. He says Leon is a false prophet, a cheat and a liar. He challenges him for the X-Title at the PLE. He says he said the cleanse is coming and now he proves it.

We go to Swinger's Palace, which makes its return. Ryan Nemeth comes in and Rosemary also comes in. Swinger calls Rose "Sherri Martel" and "Papa Shango". Rose talks to someone telepathically. JDC is playing at the table as are Sinner and Saint. JDC says he likes Sinner and Saint and asks if they drive automatic. He asks if they have been to Juarez and says they are going. He then makes them go with him.

Swinger says he's only here to chew gum and take money from the marks. Rose says if he gives her the deed, they can make money forever. They shake hands on it and Rose says 2 sins are taken care of now. Rose then sees the wrestler formerly known as The Bunny and they seem to be working together.

Ricky Sosa vs Brad Attitude

This is Ricky Sosa's Impact debut. He got some views due to his entrance and I guess they are running with it.

BA hits a shot on Sosa then wristlocks him. Sosa headflips out and side headlock takeovers him. Sosa then crucifixes him. Sosa dropkicks him. Sosa bangs BA's arm off his shoulder. Sosa goes up top and is swept. BA hits mounted punches on him. BA kneeling springboard swantons him.

Sosa germans him and hits flying corner euros. Sosa corkscrew kicks him then top rope moonsaults him for 2. Sosa suicide dives him. BA is caught on a back springboard and is hit with a blue thunder. Sosa wins.

Thoughts: They said Sosa debuted on Xplosion already. I feel like they probably told the crowd how to react as they knew how to react to some of his moves and cheer for him. On paper, he seems like a decent prospect as he's taller, can flying and has an entrance people can get into. He's also only 21. I would have maybe built him up a bit more though before debuting him. This was fine though. TNA needs new stars desperately and maybe he will be one of them.

Atlanta Street Fight - Cedric Alexander vs. Moose

Moose pump kicks him. Ced flying forearms him in the corner and chops him. Moose euros him then uranage's him. Moose sentons him. Moose lariats him over the top. They trade shots outside. Moose pump kicks him. Moose chops him outside and pump kicks him. Ced suplexes him on the floor.

They each grab chairs and duel. Moose hits him in the gut and back with the chair. We go to break and return. Ced hits Moose with a cookie sheet. Moose back elbows Ced. Ced boots him out of the corner then Moose sky high's him for 2.

Moose misses a charge outside and goes into the steps. Ced hits him with cookie sheets. Ced goes or a chair shot while Moose is on the steps and Alisha Edwards stops him. Ced pokes her and Alisha slaps him. Moose pump kicks Ced and apron powerbombs him.

Ced low blows him on the apron. Moose is powerbombed on the bottom side of a trash can. Ced puts chairs in the ring. Ced gets hit up top. Moose superplexes him onto chairs. Moose pump kicks him and Ced standing spanish flies him for 2. Ced springboards and is caught in mid-air with a spear. A table is set up in the corner. Moose is sent into a chair between the buckles. Ced brainbusters him for 1.

Moose headbutts him and spears him through a table to win.

Thoughts: It was an okay hardcore bout but nothing too memorable. there was no blood and the big spot here was a table spot. We got enough of this though. Moose got the win as expected and maybe bumped a bit more than usual.

Overall thoughts: The opener wasn't that good with The Hardy's looking old. We got an appearance from Goldy Locks, who hasn't been around for a while. Kelsey Heather looked better as the jobber than Indi did squashing her. We had a decent trios match with Order 4. Steve Maclin is back and his whole angle is not working. I didn't like AJ Francis/Elijah. We got the return of Swinger's Palace which was nice and it appears that Rosemary may be running it now. Ricky Sosa debuted and while I think the crowd was coached, he did well. Cedric/Moose had an okay hardcore match that was fine for the main event. I'd give this a higher 5 out of 10 as the show really did have some highs and lows. I'd say it was above average.

WWC Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre 1/31/2026

The last show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/wwc-superestrellas-de-la-lucha-libre_11.html

Abel Durant and Axel Cruz are on commentary.

We see clips from Euphoria. Xix Xavant and Intelecto 5 Estrellas looked like a wild affair. Idolo retained his title with help from Alberto. John Hawking beat Chicano. Ray Gonzalez beat Carlito and the bout had a bunch of shenanigans. Eddie Colon got his hair cut as per the stipulation.

The commentators welcome us to the show. They talk about the 2/7 show.

WWC Tag Team Title Match - Los Matadores Celestiales (Mike Nice & Oscar Benabe) (c) vs. Los Inmortales (Orly Jr. & Tapia)

Mike ducks a double lariat and hits his own double lariat. Mike backdrops Orly. Mike side steps Tapia and Tapia spears Oscar. Mike rolls Tapia using the tights and wins.

Thoughts: We only saw a few minutes of this at best and it's hard to say much about it.

Elena Negroni says she's facing 3 clowns in an irrelevant town. She says Mr. Anthony and an Informante will be handcuffed during it. She says she doesn't understand why those two are always involved in women's matches. She says they are showing off and she will continue being the face of the women's division title or no title.

La Guerrera Amazona does a promo. She says the most beautiful part of the 2/7 show will be the women's match. She says if you get Los Informantes wet, they multiply. She says she knows Negroni, Stephany and Kamila will have something up their sleeve. She says we will see a war and says she will come out the winner for the third time.

Jc cradle shocks Jov. Jc goes up top and is stopped. They trade shots on the 2nd rope. Jc headbutts him down from the buckles. Jc top rope splashes but Jov gets his knees up. Jov pins him.

Thoughts: We saw the 2nd half of this and I don't think it was that long of a match. Jovan took bad looking fall on a slingshot plancha. It's not often you see someone get their feet or knees up on a dive and pin the opponent who did it, but that's what happened here.

Los Inmortales do a promo. Orly says he hears funeral bells for the tag champs. He says the time has come and their careers will end on 2/7. Tapia says Mike and Oscar talk to their fans like beasts and they will fix that on 2/7. Tapia says they will understand that all the tag champs are coming down and that's the truth.

Mike says they are the tag champs and need to have their minds on their opponents on 2/7. Mike says they set the stage on fire and will keep going up. Mike says they will come out victorious again.

WWC Women's Title Four Way Hardcore Match (Special Referees: El Informante & Joe Anthony) - Elena Negroni (c) vs. La Guerrera Amazona vs. Stephanie Amalbert vs. Kamila

Amazona has the pin, Joe doesn't want to count forh er but does and only counts 2. Amazona gets in Joe's face and Kamila pushes Amazona into Joe, sending him out. Kamila 619's Amazona. Kamila goes for a springboard and Elena trips her.

Elena misses a top rope swanton. Steph bronco busters Amazona. Elena rolls up Steph and Informante helps hold Steph down for the pin. Elena wins.

Thoughts: The crowd was really into this and it looked a like a wild and exciting match.

Infromante hits Steph with a sign after.

Jc Jexx does a promo. He says he faces Jovan in a non-title rematch. He says they made history last time and it's time to write a new chapter in the book. He says he will beat him 1-2-3.

El Hostil Jovan does a promo. He says he gets to wrestle in his hometown for the first time. He says he has the weight on his shoulders as he represents his town. He says he won't say waht he's going to do bcause they are colleagues and part of the locker room and brothers. He says they set things on fire last time and it was the 5-star match he said it would be. He says they will have the match of the night in his hometown on 2/7.

Abel Durant says Tony Leyenda became Carribean champ in controversial fashion last week.

WWC Caribbean Title Three Way Match - Lightning (c) vs. El Hijo de Dos Caras vs. Tony Leyenda

We join this in progress. Light suplexes Hijo for 2. Tony punches and boots Light. Tony neckbreakers Hijo, making him neckbreaker light. Tony gets 2 counts on both opponents. Tony is mad at hte count and grabs the ref. Tony shoulders over Light then Light spears Hijo. Light goes for the pin, Tony throws him out and pins Hijo.

Thoughts: We didn't get to see much of this but the idea was that Lightning had the pin and Tony threw him out to steal the victory.

Tony Leyenda does a promo. He says when he says he's better, that's real. He says he on in a battle of PR vs Mexico vs Dominican Republic last week. He says he doesn't know what the 2/7 show is called and doesn't care. He asks if Gilbert thinks he can take away his newly won title. He asks what Gilbert will do with him in Humacao, wherever that is he says.

Gilbert does a promo. He says Tony likes to meddle in PR matters. He says he will realize why Gilbert is a fighter who isn't easy.

Lou Forza is in the back and sees Intelecto 5 Estrellas beating up Zcion RT1 in the back. He tells him he was a nobody and is trash. He says he could walk around the neighborhood only due to him. Refs then try to break it up as Estrellas beats him up. We cut ahead and RT1 is busted open and wants to fight. RT walks himself in from the outside and people try to hold him back from fighting.

We just see highlights of Zcion RT1 vs. Intelecto 5 Estrellas. Both guys bled, hit each other with weapons and the ref was out when Estrellas went for the pin. Estrellas missed a charge in the corner and RT1 rolled him up to pin him. Estrellas spit red mist in his face, ddt'd him and choked him around the ring post with a chain after. The announcers say it went beyond sport. RT1's mom checks on RT. She yells at Estrellas and points her finger at him as she gets upset. Estrellas then spits on RT.

Intelecto 5 Estrellas does a promo. He says he doesn't know if it's his age or time but says Ray Gonzalez has become a begger. He says he begs for acceptable and social media approval. He says he lives off of what he once was. Estrellas says he is trying to be what he wants to be. He says Ray will see a new Estrellas and his retirement process will start. He say he won't rest until he retired him and destroyed him. He says all the fans will say Esterllas has become a legend by retiring another legend.

Ray Gonzalez does a promo. He said Estrellas sold himself as a hero of the kids but even a kid can say what a piece of sh!t he is. He says he will represent the children, put him in his place and have empathy for the kids. He tells him to get ready as he will give him a beating.

Abel says Ray is trying to bring order to Estrellas.

We see highlights of Chicano vs. John Hawking. Chicano has control and John makes his comeback. John eventually wins with a full-nelson slam. It doesn't look like they got too wild here.

John gets on the mic after. He says he showed him that he is coming in a big way in 2026. He says he wants the Puerto Rican Title. He says he's coming for it on 2/7.

Chicano does a promo. He complains about Victor Jovica giving him a match with John Hawking. He says he doesn't know if Victor has dementia by throwing John to the lions. He tells him not to go back to the Chicano of 2025 where he made his own decisions. He says his boss if Eddie Colon but he does what he wants when he feels like it.

John Hawking does a promo. He says Chicano gave him a tremendous fight at Euphoria and says he's a living legend. He says Chicano underestimated him. He says he loves the idea of a PR Title match with him. He said he didn't just come to face the best, he came for gold and he's coming for his PR Title.

Xix Xavant does a promo. He says the Mexicans helped themselves with a big spoon at Euphoria against him. He says Andrade said he didn't need help all along but asks if he could have beaten him without Alberto's help? He says not even in his dreams. He says the people were supporting the nation's hero. He says he guarantees he will get his revenge. He tells Lightning to let him know if the bounty envelope came in thicker or smells like burritos because he's a sellout. He says even the armed forces can't stop him. He says he will see him in a monkey cage and says he will fight with all of his heart until he triumphs.

Abel and Axel close the show. They say they are going to Humaco next weekend and shill the show. Axel says tomorrow's show will feature the debut of John Hawking.

Overall thoughts: It was nice to see some highlights and some clips of matches from Euphoria. Sadly, we saw nothing in full though. It's almost like a Catch-22 scenario with this show. They don't show full matches, so they have to show a lot of shorter clips of various matches, but because they do that, they run out of footage to show fast. They got a lot done here though and from what we did see, Euphoria looked like a good show. The next show has a lot of rematches, and we'll have to see what they come up with to sell some of those.

WWE Main Event 3/12/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/wwe-main-event-352026.html

Lee goes up top and is hit with a spanish fly from Evans. Evans bottom rope springboard tornillo kicks him and wins.

Thoughts: It was a little slower than expected and didn't quite get as good as it could have been because of it. They didn't do it too much atleast and there were some highlights here. It was okay enough but could have been a little better.

Overall thoughts: We only got one match here and nothing else. Why? I have no idea. But it was disappointing. The one match we got was fine but nothing you need to seek out.

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 1/10/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/iwa-puerto-rico-impacto-total-132026.html

Thoughts: The heels got totally screwed here as they had the ref and fans working against them. It was entertaining though and the crowd was super into the express. The fans nailing the heels with belts in these bouts never gets old.

We see clips of El Legendario Atomo getting beaten up by Manu and Pedro Portillo III until Super Atomo saves him.

Pedro Portillo III does a promo. He says he will end the legacy of Atom. He says he tried to pass things onto Super Atomo but it ends tonight. He says he was wrong about Niche as he thought he was worth more than he is. He says his existence is worth more than Niche's. He says Niche has more street smarts than him but he has more schooling.

Thoughts: Jose is still green but he's gonna be a star. He's still botching but he's a good looking dude, he's athletic and he's in shape. The girls in the crowd were also into him. Jose didn't hit his offense clean so I can't give it a great rating but they had the idea right here.

Evie de la Rosa does a promo. She says she learned that when she behaves she does good, but when she doesn't, she does better. She says she wants to take Daisy Lyn for a walk around the arena tonight when they fight and says the title will return to her tonight.

Carlos talked to someone on the phone. They say Pimpinella is a legend in Mexico as an exotica. Wiz says they are ready for that problem. Carlos asks what Dr. Lucha is doing coming back to lucha and says he doesn't remember him. Wiz says to pay close attention tonight. Carlos says if they think they will come with that nonsense tonight, he challenges them to try and kiss Wizard.

We get a video on Pimpinella Escarlata.

Savio Vega is with Mascara Pura, El Dragon Nihan, Edrax Torres and Manu. He talks about his team all having titles and calls Nihan King Kong. He says Nihan is the future IWA champ. Vega says he's the one in charge. He says they are done with Jay Blake and Mike Mendoza. He says he hates Mike Mendoza. He says things will go their way or they will take to the streets tonight.

The ref argues with him outside. Niche slingshot plancha's Manu. Niche comes back in and takes a low blow. Manu germans him into a camel clutch and Niche submits.

Thoughts: It was a good match. Niche did his flying offense and worked the leg. Manu worked Niche's arms and won with a camel clutch. They didn't beat Niche clean either as Pedro Portillo interfered. Niche took a hard belly to belly suplex into the side of the ring here

Jay Blake does a promo on Ricky Banderas and Savio Vega. Savio interrupts and Jay grabs him. Savio tells him it's not a good idea to attack him and tells him he will be the special ref in his title match. Jay says the title will be coming his way. Ricky Banderas shows up behind Jay. He says he's #1 in PR and the world. He says the title was his 20 years ago. Vega grabs the title and Ricky hits Jay from behind. They double team Jay. Vega says the title belongs to a worthy champ and hits Jay in the face with it. Vega then puts the title on Ricky. He says they will finish Jay off tonight.

Savio Vega and Ricky Banderas do a promo outside of the arena. Vega calls Jay a disgusting club and says Ricky is the real champ. He tells Jay to get past Ricky if he wants to put his hands on him. Ricky says welcome to the world of the messiah. He says Jay is looking at some of the founders on IWA. He says IWA will always be his home. He says he was told to rip Jay's head off and he will. He says Jay's time is running out and there's no one who can save him whether he likes it not.

We then see Jay Blake heading into the arena for tonight.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show. I liked the opener and fans as lumberjack matches are always fun. Jose Zamora showed potential in his debut. I liked Evie de la Rosa's promo and the main event was good. We also got a nice angle after to set up tonight's show, where shenanigans are near guaranteed to happen. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall.

WWE Evolve 3/11/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/wwe-evolve-succession-ii-342025.html

We are in the Performance Center. Pete Rosenberg and Blake Howard are on commentary.

Various wrestlers are around the ring. Robert Stone is in the ring. He says him and Shawn Michaels decided Evolve needs authority. He then brings out Timothy Thatcher as the new GM.

Stone says it's time they expand Tim's role. He says Tim will go scout talent around the world to enhance Evolve. Tim says he appreciates the trust they have in him. He says he's no GM though. He says Evolve is where the work starts. He says Evolve is more of a worksite and he's the Foreman, not the GM. Stone says Tim will have to make difficult decisions and says Jackson Drake and Kendal Grey are now full-time NXT stars. Tim says one door opens and another closes. Tim says champs shouldn't disappear and they need to earn their way out. Tim says he asked Grey and Drake for one more title defense, which will be their final evolution. Tim says if they win, they leave as champ and the title is vacated. He says if they lose, we get a new standard bearer will be made. He says Grey will face Tyra Mae Steele tonight. He says next week Jackson Drake's final evolution will be against....

Harlem Lewis then comes out. Lewis says if Drake is having one last match, he wants him. Tim says none of this and says this isn't going off the rails. Tim says he knows. Tim says he's got a match for Lewis. Tim says it's time for Harlem Lewis to get to work and everyone should clear out.

Thoughts: This was different. I don't think Grey and Drake had to leave the brand. They are at the Performance Center and in Florida most of the time anyway, and they could hold onto the titles until they lose them...and they could just lose them soon. It's not necessarily awful and maybe more of a matter of opinion, but I like my way over this decision. I don't think this helps make the titles seem important.

Kendal Grey is in the back. She says it's one last match and title defense. She says Evolve let her find herself. She says this will forever be her last home. She says tonight's business and says Tyra's the only one who has her beat as a technical wrestler. She says she thrives when things get hard. Ken says she has taken down everyone and Tyra is next on her list. She says she will walk into NXT with momentum on her back.

Thoughts: They really re-wrote Ken's history here, completely skipping her run on Level Up. Don't get me wrong, she got a lot more popularity on Evolve than Level Up, but you could see me hyping her up back then on that show.

We go to break and return.

Harlem Lewis vs Sam Holloway

Sam's Evolve run has been weird. They've ran like 30-40 episodes and he has maybe been on 7 of them. Why? Who knows, but I hope he appears more this year.

Lewis hits some shots on Sam and is slammed twice. Lewis lariats Sam over the top. Lewis baseball slides him and hits forearms outside. Lewis is thrown crotch first into the post. Sam forearms him outside. Sam 2nd rope springboard elbow drops him for 2.

Lewis hits spears to the gut. Lewis hits forearms. Sam facekicks him. Sam foot chokes him. Lewis hits shots to the gut and Sam dropkicks him for 2. Sam pulls Lewis' arms back. Lewis dropkicks Sam.

Lewis 2nd rope elbow drops Sam's back. Sam gordbusters him. Sam misses a corner splash and then uranage's him for 2. Lewis knees him in the gut and Sam double underhook suplexes him into the buckles for 2.

Lewis knees Sam in the chin and lariats him from behind. Lewis slams him. Lewis hits a jackhammer and wins.

Thoughts: It was an okay hoss battle here. They used some power, threw each other around a bit and this match was about what I expected. I would have been okay with this going longer. I'm curious to see what this year holds for Sam.

Luca Crusafino does a video. He has a new look and is now into music. He has some goofy hat on and more colors on his clothing than anything I've seen. He says he found his inner self. He says when Luca is vibing, he's most effective. He says he's ready to make Evolve revolve around him.

Thoughts: Wow. I was wondering what happened to Luca and apparently, he's been taking some heavy drugs. Okay, not really, but one could assume that here. This was not good.

Tyra Mae Steele is excited in the back about getting a title match. She says Kendal walked into this locker room as an undefeated amateur wrestling champ. She says she's beaten everyone in Evolve but never has faced an olympic gold medalist. She says the mat and the ring are different but all that matters is who gets the 1-2-3. She says she knows Grey is moving on but she can't afford to lose. She says she won't be satisfied until her name is in the books as the Evolve champ.

Harley Riggins vs Trill London

Har has Cam Hendrix with him. Blake calls Trill "The Electric Enigma".

Trill goes up and over then backflips. Trill hits armdrags and an armlock. Har armlocks him. Har pulls Trill down by the hair. Trill seated moonsaults off the top and armdrags him. Trill dropkicks Har out. Trill dropkicks Har into Cam outside. Trill twisting swantons the heels off the 2nd rope.

Har germans Trill inside and hits mounted shots. Har basement dropkicks him for 2. Trill hits punches and Har tilt-a-whirl slams him for 2. Trill hits punches and back elbows. Trill trips him then rolling sentons him. Trill basement dropkicks him.

Trill goes up top and Har crotches him. Har TKO's him and pins him.

Thoughts: It didn't get that much time but what we got was fine. Trill is super athletic but they are in no hurry to push him apparently. I like what we got and wish we could have gotten more.

Chuey Martinez interviews Harley and Cam after. Harley says they do whatever they want here and Chuey brings up what they did to Tate Wilder. Harley says they are in the @ss kicking business and business is booming.

Dante Chen comes in. He says Harley and Cam doesn't represent the PC and are a disgrace. Cam challenges Chen for next week and Chen agrees.

Timothy Thatcher is in the GM office and blinds himself with a flashlight. Aaron Rourke comes in. He says he believes opportunities are earned. He says Drake gets to have his final evolution next week. AR says Drake earned that. AR says Drake doesn't deserve to leave here as champ and vacate the belt like he left this place. AR says The Vanity Project have been doing the same song and dance since Day 1. He says his final straw was the 10-man tag where they left. AR says he feels like he represents Evolve and says he's the diamond in the rough here. He says he's proud to represent WWE ID. He says it's time he steps up to be the leader and wants an opportunity. He says he's the man that stops Drake from rewriting history and is the man to make sure the title stays here where it belongs. He asks Tim to give him the match. Tim says Harlem Lewis did make an argument but says he will get his time. Tim says AR's time is next week.

Thoughts: That was bogus. Lewis won a match assuming he'd get a title shot off of it. AR did nothing and got the shot ahead of him.

WWE Evolve Women's Title - Kendal Grey (c) vs Tyra Mae Steele

This is KG's last Evolve match. KG shoots in and is suplexed off of it. Wendy Choo and Laynie Luck are in the VIP Lounge. The girls trade waistlocks and Tyra rolls her around on the mat. Tyra fireman's carry takedowns her.

Ken uses the buckles and armdrags her. KG dropkicks her in the knee then basement dropkicks her. KG is rammed into the corner and thrown. KG is thrown hard into the buckles. KG slides between her legs and Tyra slams her down with the double leg. Tyra baseball slides her off the apron. We go to break and return.

Tyra running corner spears her three times. Tyra slams her down for 2. Tyra chinlocks her on the mat. KG hits elbows to the gut. KG sunset flips her for 2. KG hits chops. Tyra hip attacks her off the up and over. Tyra karelin's lifts her three times.

Tyra corner spears her for 2. Tyra sits on her back and chinlocks her. KG hits elbows to the gut and Tyra knees her in the gut. KG escapes a suplex then they collide in mid-air. KG knees her out of the corner and hits back elbows. KG germans her. KG then pulls down the straps. KG exploders her.

KG step up ddt's her out of the corner. KG knocks her off the buckles. Tyra olympic slams her for 2. Tyra germans her. They trade roll-up's. KG jumping flatliners her and pins her.

Thoughts: It was Tyra's best bout so far. These two are both amateur wrestlers and they rightfully had a match with a lot of amateur wrestling in it. They ended it at the right time here. I thought it a solid match and I liked this. Grey won as expected and who knows what happens with the Women's Title now.

Grey thanks everyone for the support. She says Evolve gave her a place to find herself. She says she wouldn't be able to do it without the fans. She says she will take over NXT every Tuesday just like she did NXT. Grey then gives Timothy Thatcher the belt and they hug. We get "Thank You, Kendal" chants and Ken touches the Evolve logo.

We get a highlight video on Kendal Grey to close the show.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show and an important one for Evolve. Kendal Grey is gone and Jackson Drake and The Vanity Project will be gone as well next week. I don't love Timothy Thatcher as the new GM/Foreman, but we will give it a chance and see how it goes. Harlem/Holloway was the heavyweight battle it seemed like it would be and I liked it. Riggins/London worked a bit better than I expected but we didn't get to see too much of it. Luca Crusifino has a new gimmick that is not going to work. The main was solid and probably Tyra's best match yet. We also got a nice sendoff video for Kendal. Season 2 of Evolve is here and this was a good way to reset things. I know I'm definitely curious to see where things go next week. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall, though it definitely got close to a 7.

AEW Dynamite 3/11/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/aew-dynamite-342025.html

We are in San Jose, CA. Bryan Danielson, Ian Riccaboni and Tony Schiavone are on commentary.

MJF says Mike kicked him in the face last week and asks him to kick the sh!t out of him. Kyle says he doesn't take orders from him and says he will beat him up bad for himself, not MJF.

Thoughts: It was obvious what this was going to be - a no-sell fest with big moves and very indy wrestling. We got all of that and a dirty finish as well. Not even an apron poisonrana and a 2nd rope poisonrana could put down the great Kyle Fletcher here. I hated this.

Brody King vs ?

King does an inset promo. He says he's been looking all over for Swerve and he can't be found. He says he has a standby match and isn't ready for it. He says his opponent will find out who the most dangerous man in AEW is.

Thoughts: If there was ever a time for OC not to screw around, it was this. The Dogs are supposed to be this violent and serious unit and OC was just goofing off against them. This brought down the whole match and ruined it. Darby took some awful looking bumps as usual here.

Clark Connors spears OC after and pounds on him. Roderick Strong comes out. Strong teases doing a move to OC but throws OC into them and beats up The Dogs. Darby hits Gabe with a skateboard. Strong backbreakers Clark and clears him out.

We get a video for the next match.

Harley and Willow do a promo. Willow says she defend her title against England's and Mexico's best. She says Lena Kross should face her at the PPV pre-show for the TBS Title.

Ciampa pounds on Mark after. Ciampa chairs Mark. Ciampa chokes Mark with a chair. Ciampa 2nd rope air raid crashes Mark through chairs next to each other.

Overall thoughts: The show ran 12 minutes late. It was almost all wrestling on this show. It's the show before the PPV, so we had limited news and developments here. The opener was alright. Fletcher/Bailey was an awful indy style match with them doing big dangerous moves that meant nothing. Orange Cassidy screwed up his match as he just had to bring the comedy vs the serious and violent Dogs group. Willow/Persephone got a lot of time and was alright with Willow winning. The main was 100MPH and all action. I found it a bit hard to follow and while they did a lot of stuff, it didn't mean a lot so I can't say I liked it. We then had an MJF/Page press conference and brawl to end the show. I'd give it a 5 out of 10. I just didn't like a lot of the matches that much but most of the show built up something on the PPV.
