TNA Impact 2/19/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/tna-impact-2122026.html

We are in Nashville, Tennessee. Tom Hannifan and Matt Rehwoldt are on commentary.

George Iceman does the intro for his team. He says the only ten's he sees in Tennessee is The Elegance Brand.

Ash is on commentary here and the whole Brand is out there.

HBE elbows her in the gut then is hit with a side slam for 2. Indi goes up top and M By Elegance pushes her to the apron. HBE low dropkicks Indi off the apron.

HBE stomps Indi. She snapmares her and kicks her in the back. HBE trips Indi into the buckles. HBE jumping stomps her for 2. HBE pounds on her then chokes her on the ropes. M then gets some cheapshots in.

Indi blockes a seated spanish fly and HBE lands hard on the mat. Indi top rope elbow drops HBE's back. Ash distracts Indi then Indi hits a hurt's donut and pins her.

Thoughts: It was the usual sloppy Indi match. The heels were pretty ridiculous here and poor Heather almost hurt herself off the seated moonsault miss. This was ugly.

We see Steve Maclin trying to enter the building. Security stops him and Tom Hannifan then comes out to stop him. Tom asks Steve what he's thinking. Tom says Steve assaulted Mike Santana at the PPV. He says if Steve tries to enter, he will be arrested. Steve says he wants to speak to the entire world and asks Tom to get him in the building. Tom says he will see what he can do and Steve says he will wait on his phone call. Steve had his face shaved here.

Mike Santana comes out. He says Maclin attacked him when he wasn't looking at the PPV and wasn't man enough to look him in the face. Mike says he knows Maclin and what he's trying to do. He says the more Steve knocks on death's door, eventually he will answer, step to him like a man and drop his b!tch @ss. 

Mike calls Leon Slater out and Leon comes out. Mike says Leon was out and had to deal with Daria giving him the idea for Option C. He asked him if he could trust him and Leon said he would have his back. Mike said he did have his back. Mike says he didn't have his back and left him out here by himself. Mike says he's man enough to admit it and apologize.

Mike says Leon ended up pinning a former world champ. Leon says he knows things can be crazy here but he pinned a former world champ in the ring and says he pinned Nic Nemeth. Nic and Ryan Nemeth come out. Ryan starts to talk and Mike threatens him.

Nic says Mike and Leon are champs but both got lucky. Nic says Leon has a target on his back. Mike says it wasn't luck, Leon pinned him because he's one of the best in the world and the youngest in charge. Nic says he's the best man alive and the draw around here. Leon says no one wants to hear this. He says the fans would rather see Mike and Leon. Nic asks if they want some and Leon says yes. Leon says they can do this right now.

Daria Rae comes out. Daria tells everyone to shut up and says she makes the matches around here, not the wrestlers. Daria tells them to get out of the ring as a match is scheduled.

Thoughts: Daria's gimmick sucks. She makes all the men look like absolute punks and that's not good when these guys are supposed to be all big and bad.

The System talk. Brian says Moose couldn't stay away at the PPV. He says Moose just made a mistake. Bear agrees and says this is Moose's final warning. Cedric says he's Moose's kryptonite and tells him to accept defeat. Eddie says Moose was the dead weight so they dropped him and it's his time to move on. Eddie says all the gold is in their sights and everyone will learn you can't beat The System.

Daria Rae is on the phone. Frankie Kazarian goes up to her. Kaz says AMC needs to hear him on commentary and asks if he can be on commentary for the Mike/Leon vs Nemeth's match. She agrees. 

Arianna Grace talks before the next match. She says No Surrender was amazing and everyone was talking about her at the end of the night as she walked out Knockouts champ. She says you don't have to like it but have to accept it. Grace says daddy got her match but she won the match. he says she's sorry her dad let her play her like a fiddle. She says wrestling is about using leverage and power to get what you want. She says she used everything and says Stacks will use rematch clause and win his title back. She says they will solidify themselves as the most powerful couple in wrestling.

TNA International Title - Trey Miguel (c) vs Stacks

Stacks rolls him up for 1 then backslides him. Trey walks up the buckles and flips into a moonsault armdrag on him. Trey low basement dropkicks Stacks out. We go to break and return.

Stacks back elbows him and Trey asai moonsaults him. Trey hits lariats and punches. Trey atomic drops him. Trey northern lights suplexes him then kimura's him. Stacks slides out. Trey flips over Stacks' back and dropkicks him in the back of the head.

Thoughts: Trey's offense is a little wacky but he hit it all clean here and had a good showing. Trey stood out a bit more here than Stacks did. It was acceptable.

TNA Injury Report

JT hiptosses her. JT boots her off the buckles and hits forearms. JT chops her. JT pump kicks her in the side of the head. JT germans her. Mila and Crawford attack Jody and cause the DQ.

Thoughts: The match was going okay so of course we had to had to have interference. Tess moved well here and had a good night.

Thoughts: It was one of S&S' better matches. They moved well and did a bunch of double teams. Rich and BDE made for a good team and the two worked well together. I'd be up for seeing this again. I don't love BDE's team losing in their team debut.

Steph de Lander says AJ Francis crossed the line and is a pig. Mance Warner says AJ has himself a problem. Steph and Mance knock down AJ's guard then go into his room. J-Rod is there with AJ.

The System say they outnumber them then The Righteous walk in. Vince says balance always finds itself and says if they got something stirring, they are all here. Brian says they aren't sure The Hardy's can trust The Righteous. 

The System leaves. Dutch apologizes for the miscommunication at No Surrender and says he will keep apologizing until they gain their trust. Matt asks how they will gain his trust and Dutch says anyway they want. Vince says they will make sure Daria has her foot in the door before it closes.

Elayna Black comes out. She says she was close to getting a title shot then Mara Sade eliminated her and stole her moment. EB says everyone has it out for her. She says she deserves to be the top star and not anyone else. She says she was the only one who should have been walking out with the title. She says if Mara wants to explain herself, she'd like to hear it. She says the title will be hers. She says Mara needs to come out and explain herself.

Mara Sade comes out. Mara says she thought they were friends. Mara says they came from the same place in NXT but aren't there anymore. Mara says they are in the same place again in TNA. EB says the difference between them is that she sacrificed to get here while Mara sucks up, fit the optics and was handed the opportunity. She say she earned this and will be the next Knockouts champ, not her. She says she's an industry plant who doesn't deserve a second here. Mara says EB hates her as she is a go-getter. 

Mara says she's not bitter. She says she loves the fans. She tells EB to step up and prove she's a fraud. EB says she will. She says she's an obstacle course in her way that she will overcome. Mara tells her any time and any place.

Thoughts: It was a decent segment. Black was okay on the mic here and helped carry this.

We are told Steve Maclin can explain himself next week.

Guitar Case Casket Match - Elijah vs Mustafa Ali

Eli facekicks him and throws him out. Ali trips him on the apron. Ali hits him in the gut and back with a chair. Eli's head is banged off the post. Ali chairs Eli. Eli jumping knees him. Eli misses a ukulele shot and it breaks on the post. Ali sets up 3 chairs across from 3 chairs outside. Eli back body drops him off the ramp onto the chairs and Ali lands hard. We go to break and return.

They fight on the apron and Ali ear claps him. Eli is pushed into the post. Eli is put on a table. Ali top rope 450's him through the table outside. Order 4 come out to check on Ali.

Thoughts: It was a wild one. Ali took some awful looking moves as usual here. He took a back body drop off the ramp through a 3v3 set up chairs and took a guitar shot to the face. This was a bit wasted on TV as breaks interrupted it and it's a shame we didn't get it on PPV instead. I liked what we got here and it was an entertaining main.

Overall thoughts: This was one of the better AMC episodes so far. The main was good. Swann/BDE had a good match and Tessa/Jodi mostly went well. The opening match was ugly though and Daria Rae's gimmick of tearing down the men isn't working. I don't like what they are doing with The System, as they are not being pushed as a true force and Moose not appearing so much is really hurting his feud with them. They've also done a poor job of following up on the Kaz title run, though that shouldn't have happened in the first place. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as it was an okay show.

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/wwe-main-event-2122026.html

Thoughts: It was a decent bout here. The heels were heels, the crowd liked howdy and it ended after the faces got their big comeback. It was to the point and I had no issues with this.

Oba Femi vs Joaquin Wilde

We're probably never seeing Oba on this show again so enjoy it while it lasts. Oba throws JW into the corner off the lock-up. JW waistlocks him and takes a back elbow. Oba throws him. Oba misses a corner charge. JW hits forearms then dropkicks him twice.

Oba running euros him in the corner then throws him. Oba pop-up sitout powerbombs him and pins him.

Thoughts: Oba won as expected. They botched a ddt spot here but other than that, Oba mostly threw him around. JW didn't fly all that much here sadly though. It was fine.

Ivy Nile vs Skylar Rae

They lock up. Ivy side headlocks her then shoulder her over. Sky headflips and rolls out of a wristlock then throws her over by the arm. Sky rolls her up for 2 then wristlocks her. Sky trips her. Sky cartwheels then wristlocks her. Sky flying headcissors her then corner hip attacks her.

Ivy takes a 2nd rope gordbuster. Sky top rope crossbodies her and Ivy rolls through. Ivy hits a swinging uranage and pin her.

Thoughts: It was one of Ivy's better matches. The crowd didn't know Sky so they didn't react. However, Sky was very good here. She did a bunch of nice flying offense and was really moving well here. She's already better than some of the girls on the main roster and she's going to be a good pro wrestler. I hope we see more of her soon.

Overall thoughts: We had 3 new matches here. We had a better line-up than usual with The Wyatt's and Oba in action. The main was the best thing on here and Skylar Rae really impressed. It was a fun little half hour of wrestling and not a bad way to spend your time. If you haven't seen Skylar yet, you should, because she's going places. 

Ring of Honor on HonorClub 2/19/2026

Ring of Honor on HonorClub 2/19/2026

JR chops and forearms Zay. JR backdrops her for 2. Zay takes her over and hits a forearm flurry. Zay ripcord koppo kicks her and wins.

Thoughts: It was a short one with Zay winning as expected. Zay's finisher was a new one here. What we got was alright and they hit some hard shots on each other.

SkyFlight (Dante Martin, Darius Martin & Scorpio Sky) vs Che Cabrera & TMDK (Bad Dude Tito & Shane Haste)

Shane and Darius trade wristlocks. Darius throws him over by the arm. Shane is caught with an atomic drop then dropkicked. Sky 2nd rope double axe handles Shane's arm. Sky forearms Che off the apron.

Thoughts: It was an underdog vs hoss match here. Mark won as expected. Tuck got some shine here and was ultimately put down. I get the feeling that Tuck is a comedy guy but we didn't see that much comedy from him here.

Sisters Of Sin (Julia Hart & Skye Blue) vs Aysha & Frankie B

SB kicks Frank's handshake away. They lock up. SB backs her up on the ropes and taps her head. Frank side headlock takeovers her. SB headscissors her. Frank trips her face first then sliding lariats her for 2.

Thoughts: Aysha got a lot of time here. I'd say she has some potential but she's 9 years into this and should be a bit better than she was. Hart and Blue didn't impress and I'd argue the jobbers had a better showing than they did. Ay landed hard on the finish here. 

Dalton Castle & The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) vs. North Shore Wrestling (Jack Osborne, Sam Osborne & Will Kiedis)

DC is stomped on by the the jobbers. Will 2nd rope elbow drops DC. Truth hits a dropkick. The faces hit stereo slams. Will takes a double elbow drop and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was a bit competitive and not a total squash which was nice. It was acceptable and the faces ultimately got the win as expected.

Evans hits knees to the skull and superkicks her. Evans facekicks her. Mina spinning forearms her then buzzsaw kicks her from behind. Mina uraken's her. Mina hits a lifting reverse ddt and pins her.

Thoughts: It got more than enough time to play out but was average. Mina worked the knee for a bit then gave up on it. Evans stuck more to stiff boots while Mina was a bit more flashy. 

Shawn Dean vs Robbie Eagles

They lock up. Dean holds him by the wrist and forearms him. Rob walks up the ropes and diving armdrags him. Rob flying headscissors him then spinning heel kicks him. Dean goes out and Rob follow. Dean stomps Rob as he tries to get in. Dean shoulders him over.

Thoughts: Dean did a bad job of selling the knee here. Robbie sold his knee more and Dean didn't even attack the knees. It wasn't that good and Dean didn't impress here. Ian's commentary was horrible here as they joked about sexual puns the whole time.

Overall thoughts: Most of the matches are random on a typical ROH episode. Every match was random here. Not a single storyline was furthered or pushed in anyway. The champs weren't here and only the last three matches really got enough time to fully play out. I guess you could say this was a special episode but they didn't market it as such and there wasn't a lot of effort put into this. I'd maybe say The Outrunners' match was the best on this one but that's not saying much. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 as it was mostly a waste of time. 

WWE Evolve 2/18/2026

PJ says that wasn't the same. She says she didn't lose to her in the triple threat and she can't beat her. PJ says she wants to do things on her terms and do a streetfight. She tell her to come get her issue. Grey signs the contract and PJ bang's Grey's head off the table. She then punches Grey down. She says everyone talks about how Grey is due for greatness and she's not waiting for that.

Cappuccino Jones does a video. He says seeing other WWE ID guys get called up and now him, it gets things brewing in him. He says not everyone ha a taste. He says he likes to have fun but his flavor is top shelf. He says it's time to start waking people up and that starts with winning the Evolve Title from Drake. He says the pot is hot.

Wendy Choo does a video. She says she was trying to be someone she wasn't for a while and is exhausted. She says she tried to share advice with Kali and it backfired. She says Kali is not going to punch her in the stomach and get away with it. She says let's see if The Difference Maker has it all figured out or if she fakes it until she makes it.  

The Vanity Project are recovering from a party in the back. Sean Legacy, Aaron Rourke and Mike Cunningham come in. They say The Project needs to lock in. Aaron says Team WWE PC wants a 10-man tag with them. Sean says they have to put an end to Cam, Harley and Braxton or it will follow them. Sean says they have to leave the WWE ID project in good hands. Aaron says they can't beat them when they are united together. Mike says it's main man energy. Drake agrees and says they want to be the youngest group to ever dominate Evolve and NXT. The Project talk. Drake says he is facing Cap Jones at Succession but Brad and Smokes are in.

Cam, Braxton and Harley come in. Cam says they have a 10-man tag next week. He says Jax is injured. Cam says DM can't trust the WWE ID guys. He says WWE PC are the winners. He says they have a spot for him. Cam says he's leading things to NXT and Wrestlemania. Cam puts his arm around him. DM says he knows exactly what side of history he wants to be on. The announcers say it sounds like a no, but his words implied otherwise. Gal asks to be put on Team WWE PC. Gal basically begs but they ignore him.  

Thoughts: They implied here that Keanu Carver is now permanently on NXT and since he's not listed for the 10-man tag, I would believe them. 

Kali Armstrong talks outside. She says she hurt Wendy's feelings but it wasn't personal, he didn't need her help. Kali said no one offered her advice on her way to the top and now everyone wants to be buddy-buddy while she's on her way to the top. She says she found herself and says she feels the fire when she had when she was champ. She says she accepts Wendy's challenge but will make her regret putting her name in her mouth.

Mas crossbodies her for 2. LD 2nd rope double axe handles Grace's arm then wristlocks her. LD trips Lyons then side headlocks her. All 4 get in and the faces hit stereo dropkicks. The faces dance as the heels go out.

We go to break and return. Lyons tries to knee Mas from the apron but is stopped. Mas is tripped onto the apron face first by Lyons. Lyons pounds on her outside. Lyons does a split legged drop on her for 2. Lyons leg chokes her on the 2nd rope and twerks. Lyons forearms Mas down then chinlocks her. 

Lyons chinlocks her and lays on her with it. Lyons clubs on Mas then suplexes her for 2. Mas is put in tree of woe and stomped. Grace stomps Mas there as well.

LD flips out of a lariat and hits a pele kick off of it for 2. Grace codebreakers Mas. LD backrolls Grace for 2. Lyons high kicks LD then Grace hits a wasteland on LD and pins her.

Thoughts: It was an average match for the most part. They hit their stuff clean but the match wasn't that great. I was a little surprised to see the heels win. 

Tate Wilder talks in the back. He says Evolve has been involved in conflict and division for a while and says Evolve has become a war zone between Team WWE ID and Team WWE PC. He says he tried to do the right thing but WWE PC is obsessed with destroying the other team. He says he can't stand for the injustice, power trips and sneak attacks. He says this business and life isn't fair. He says he will make the 10-man tag fair as he will be the special guest ref. He says the sheriff of justice is coming to town.

Overall thoughts: Nothing was that great here in-ring wise but they are doing a good job outside of the ring. They've got a lot of things set-up with Choo/Kali, Grey/PJ, WWE ID vs WWE PC and Grace/Lyons doing their heel thing. I wouldn't say there was a clear match of the night here. I would give it a slight 6 out of 10 overall but you don't need to see this one.

I think this is Estrellas and his dad arguing

 

I think this is Estrellas and Zcion's dad arguing

Abel Durant talks. He shows us clips of the feud with 5 Estrellas and I think Zcion RT1's dad, Don Felix Torrres. Maybe Estrellas' dad says things won't stay like this and he will resolve things with his son. Estrellas' dad goes to a store with a pool table. He talks to possibly 5 Estrellas and says he's ashamed of him. He says he's envious then slaps him. Estrellas grabs him and yells at him then leaves. We see Estrellas go to Zcions' dad house at a later date and argue with him. Estrellas is told he's not welcome. They argue for a while. Estrelllas ends up kicking him. Estrellas says he leaves places when he feels like it.

Thoughts: This was a bit hard to follow but I think Estrellas' dad and Zcion's dad are friends. I think Estrellas took out Zcion, Estrellas' dad slapped Estrellas for it then Estrellas kicked Zcion's dad at his house.

Elena Negronia does a promo on Kamila from her kitchen. She says she thinks abut their fake friendship. She says she's ready and says to tell her what she's got.

Ray Gonzalez vs Carlito

Eddie Colon does a promo before the match. He's the ref here and the director of operations. Ray Gonzalez comes out with a ref named Pelayo Vazquez. Eddie doesn't want him here. Ray says 2 ref's is the fairest thing possible as there's a conflict of interest. Eddie says he's the boss and Ray says he owns 16% of the company and says Pelayo will be the 2nd ref.

We join this in progress. Carlito punches Ray. Carlito's head is banged off a chair. Ray hits punches. Carlito takes an atomic drop then Ray hits corner punches on him.

One Informante nails the other and Anthony topes both of them. 

Carlito is sent into Eddie. Ray TKO's Carlito and Ray's ref Pelayo comes in and counts the pin.

Thoughts: We only saw a little of this. The finish was a bit exciting with various people running in and Ray picking up the win with help of his ref Pelayo.

Eddie complains on the mic after. Eddie tells him to prove that he's got the guts and put his 16% of WWC on the line. Ray says he will but Eddie needs to put his hair up. They agree and set the match up at Euphoria. 

Amaddeo Sole does a promo. He says he begs Macabre to surrender. He says he's an addict and a b@stard. Macabre does a promo and says he will take what is his tonight. He says he will hit him where it hurts - his ego.

Hair vs Mask Match (?) - Joe Anthony vs El Informante 2

We join this in progress. Joe is trying to suplex Informante form the apron. The other Informante runs in and ends up spearing his buddy off the apron. Joe lariats both Informante's then he spears one of them for 2. Informante is handed a weapon from his buddy. Informante drops Joe with the weapon and pins him.

Thoughts: We only saw the last minute or so of this and there's not a ton to say about it. Pelayo Gonzalez comes down and tells the ref what happened. The ref asks the crowd but can't find Informantne's weapon. Pelayo then comes in and strip searches him for the weapon. The match will continue.

Informante pushes the ref. The ref pushes back and Joe rolls up Informante for 2. Joe samoan drops Informante. Joe misses a 2nd rope splash and Informante rolls him up for the win.

Thoughts: We only saw a little of this. There was a lot of shenanigans going on here.

 

Los Informantes and Eddie Colon then shave Joe's hair in the ring. They beat him up and Joe gets chaired in the head. 

Tony Leyenda does a promo. He says he comes from a small town and is the most hate,d most loved and most everything wrestler in WWC. He says at Battle de Leones he faces Ray Gonzalez. He says Ray's days are coming to an end. He says he's the best.

Ray Gonzalez does a promo. He says the atmosphere in WWC is heated and says many things will happen tonight. He says he and Tony Leyenda aren't strangers. He says he knows Tony is hungry to get to the top. He says he's wrong if he thinks he can use Ray to get to the top. He says there will be a checkmate tonight.

Intelecto 5 Estrellas does a promo. He talks about growing up with his dad's friend. He says and say he envies Zcion RT1. He ells him to let his family suffer or cry and says he will finish the job he started tonight. He says he is going back to the hospital and he is kicking him out of WWC.

Zcion RT1 does a promo. He says Estrellas is brother. He says he made the worst decision of his life and signed his death warrant when he attacked his dad. He says he will pay with his life. He says it's either Estrellas or Zcion tonight.

They hype up the Euphoria card with Andrade el Idolo and Alberto el Patron.

Abel Durant closes the show. He says he will see us at the show tonight and talks about the show.

Eddie and Carlito Colon talk at a restaurant. Eddie says they have to get rid of old stuff like Ray Gonzalez. He says he hopes someone doesn't let him down. We see an John Hawking calling Eddie. They meet. Eddie says it's a pleasure meeting him and he says he has big plans for him. John joins them. Eddie says he wants him to be at the show tonight. He says PR will tremble. 

Overall thoughts: This was all about hyping the Batallas de Leones show that would take place later that day. This was all recaps and clips of some recent matches and not much else. I would not recommend this.

AEW Dynamite 2/18/2026

Thoughts: I liked it. It was the usual strike heavy Mox math. Mark bled from the hand which is a rarity in wrestling. They stiffed each other good here and I thought it helped Mark out a little. Mox won as expected.

Adam Page does a promo after Grand Slam. He says Idolo is one of the best but it wasn't good enough. He says if MJF kicks him in the balls again, he will ruin any idea of his of a happy future. He says MJF better pray he doesn't win as he is coming for him at Revolution for the title. He says he will end him to take it.

FTR and Big Stoke come out to the ring to talk. Dax says he's trying to understand why The Bucks cheapshotted them. He says The Bucks were the best tag team in 2016. He says they are sitting in second place in 2026. Stoke says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results. He says The Bucks do it and it p!ssed him off. He says The Bucks shook hands with The Rascalz and Private Party last week and says The Bucks tried to run Private Party out of the company.

Willow nearly kills Meg with a top rope release german. Mina top rope dropkicks Willow and buzzsaw kicks her. Mina uraken's her. Willow then cradles Mina and wins.

Thoughts: Meg nearly ended up on her head twice here and got so close to breaking her neck on the top rope german spot. Trusting Willow to do a top rope move on you is basically suicide. The match worked better than I expected but we were so close to disaster here.

The commentators talk about a WWE TV director who passed away this week.

Adam Page and MJF come out to talk to each other. MJF says he hates everything about him. He talks about all the stuff he hates about him. He says it makes him want to puke that he beat him twice. He says Page is a lucky shot. 

He says something is off about Page. He says Page might think people will think he is a fraud if he wins the title for a 3rd time and crumbles. He says Page is a lucky shot but is all out of bullets.

Page questions being called the lucky shot. He says he beat the dog sh!t out of him twice. He says the lucky shot is MJF, who had a shot, waiting for it, got new hair, put himself in a 4-way and won the title off a nut shot. Page says he hates MJF more.

CC takes an orange punch and Ishii brainbusters CC to win.

Thoughts: Ishii definitely hurt his hip here and they should have gotten him out of here. Ishii also busted his nose open. OC did his usual screwing around here. The match was stiff and like the opener, was filled with lots of strikes.

The Don Callis Family is beating up people in the back. Josh Alexander accepts The Death Riders' challenge. Don Callis says he accepts the challenge on Takeshita's behalf. Okada says he was here unlike Takeshita. Andrade says his eyes are on the AEW Title. Don says Claudio's CMLL Heavyweight Title would look incredible on their mantle.

Becca comes in and hits shots on her opponents. Becca takes a double forearm then hits a double springboard stunner. Becca is catapulted into a uranage backbreaker. Becca is lariated. Becca takes a sandwich lariat then a spinebuster + flying lariat combo. Becca is pinned.

Thoughts: It was mostly all squash as expected. I don't expect The Birds to be around that long but at least they won here in their debut as a team.

Thoughts: It was a random but okay bout here. The result was kind of dumb as Mort was supposed to get a title shot for winning this, but he lost. This was all flying as you would expect.

The Demand do a promo. Ric says he put Jack Perry in the dirt and can move onto other issues - getting his boys gold. They complain about the tag titles not being defended and challenge them for the titles on Saturday. Ric says they will take the titles Saturday.

KO pumping knees him from behind then KO dragonrana's him. SS pump kicks him. KO flying pumping knees him. SS flying kicks him. SS hits a JML driver and wins.

Thoughts: They did too much as usual here with them taking suplexes on the apron, floor and off the top and them not meaning much. It was all action without much of a story or heels vs faces. Some people will love this, but it wasn't the smartest match.

Swerve pounds on Kenny after and throws the ref out. Swerve chokes Kenny with a chain then hangs him over the top rope with it. They get on the steps and Swerve vertebreakers Kenny through the commentary table. Swerve says he needed this.

Overall thoughts: It was a wrestling heavy show as usual. It was a stiff and dangerous night here as Ishii got hurt and Megan Bayne nearly got dropped on her head twice. Mark Davis also got his hand busted open pretty good. I liked the opener. The women's match went better than I thought it would but Bayne almost got hurt twice. OC hurt Ishii's match as he had to do his usual goofing around. Knight/Mortos was okay. They did a bit too much in the main for me. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as it was an okay show overall.

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 1/3/2026

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 1/3/2026

IWA Women's Tag Titles - TLC and Ultimate X Match - Daisy Lyn vs Roxxy vs Vanilla Vargas vs Yade 

 

This was supposed to be a 3-way tag match but it didn't happen. The first two girls to grab titles are the first IWA Women's Tag Team champions. This has the Ultimate X with the titles in the middle but you can also climb a ladder to get the belts.

Rox and DL climb the poles but get stopped. Rox is high kicked while on the top rope. Rox is thrown off the 2nd rope by Vargas. She then trades with Yade. Vargas tries to hit her with a ladder and DL top rope crossbodies a ladder into them. Rox hits a kneelift on DL and hits her in the head with a chair. Rox has a chair double booted into her hard.

DL and Rox stomp Yade together. They chop her outside. Vargas climbs the pole (looks scared to death) and jumps on the 3 girls outside. Yade boots Rox outside while Vargas bridges a ladder onto 2 chairs. DL's head is banged off the ladder and Rox's head is banged off the post.

She pulls herself to the tag titles and grabs one of them. Rox is stuck up there and Yade moves the ladder for her to get down.

DL climbs the ladder and hits Rox. Yade climbs the ladder. Yade and DL are double powerbombed through a table by Vargas. Vargas climbs the other side of the ladder and grabs the other title. Vargas and Roxxy win and are now the tag champs.

Thoughts: It was a disaster for the most part. There were a lot of sloppy moments. They were clearly helping each other out at times. They were rightfully in fear of dying on some of the bigger spots and the finish got weird as Roxxy seemingly got stuck on the cables and Yade had to push the ladder to her. Then she just hung out on the ladder until Vargas climbed it and grabbed the other tag title. The concept of the first two girls who grab titles become champs was also not good and it's a real shame because this was the match to crown the first set of champs. 

Attila, Bitterness and Carlos Controversia attack Vargas and Roxxy after. Bitterness splashes Vargas and Roxxy. Roxxy and Vargas then get hit with the tag titles. 

We get a tribute ceremony for a El Legendario Atomo. I think Manu and Pedro Portillo III interrupt it. They then attack Atomo and double stomps him. Super Atomo makes the save. They set up a match off of this.

We get an ad for Histeria Boricua which takes place on 1/10/2026.

We then get an ad for El Gran Festival de Lucha Libre on 1/9/2026.

Pura climbs a ladder and Cotto chairs him. Pura and Cotto fight on the ladder. Cotto is knocked off and goes through a door. Pura then grabs the titles and wins the match.

Thoughts: It was okay only. They didn't do much but hardcore spots here and there wasn't a ton of wrestling. Some of the weapons looked a bit cheap but the budget isn't the biggest here. They tried and they had a better match than the girls did. 

We see clips of El Dragon Nihan vs Jay Blake for the IWA Title. Savio Vega gets involved a lot and Jay ends up winning with a stunner. Nihan powerbombs him after and Vega hits him with the title. Manu, Romeo and Portillo come out. Vega superkicks Romeo and Manu, Portillo and Mascara Pura help beat him up. Vega calls him a rat and they pose over Romeo.

Rivas drops him with a shot and touches the 4th buckle. Rivas wins.

Thoughts: It didn't really get enough time for the pace they were going. I thought it ended at the midpoint of the match, right when things were getting good. Pedro took a wild bump to the outside on his chest here. Both bled and mostly used weapons on each other. It was alright.

Savio Vega's crew of Manu, Edrax, Pura and Nihan stomp Rivas after. Vega hits Rivas with a cowbell. Manu release germans Rivas then the heels stomp Rivas. Pupe Jackson comes out and gets german'd. Nihan nails Niche when he comes in. Some others also come in and get beaten up. Mike Mendoza and Justin Cotto get beaten up. Legendario Atomo comes in and goes down. Super Atomo comes off the top and crossbodies Edrax. He dropkicks Puran and Nihan facekicks him down. Edrax then pounds on Super Atomo.

Jay Blake comes out with a kendo stick and nails the heels. He breaks the stick on Nihan. He then swings at Savio Vega but Vega escapes.

Jay gets on the mic after. He says Vega tried to eliminate him and challenges Vega to a fight. Vega says neither him or his family 50 centuers before or after will get him in the ring with him. He calls him a loser and stupid. He says he will bring him someone to take him out of his miserable life and it's Ricky Banderas. Ricky appears on the tron with lightning graphics and a logo with a prophecy appears. They say the 3rd prophecy has arrived. Ricky says the worst nighmare of his life is coming. He says he's coming for his head and says he will see the new champ. 

We get more hype for the Histeria Boricua show to close the show.

Overall thoughts: We had 3 gimmick matches here and a big angle to close the show. I liked the show as a whole. The women's TLC match was rough. The men's TLC match was a lot better and was okay. The main didn't go as long as it should have but it was fine. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall and thought it was a good show.
