Thoughts: Aya mostly did MMA style offense here and Han had to make comebacks around it. It kind of worked and it was alright. It slowed down a little in the end here after a fast start. Hanan winning wasn't a real shock though as they clearly are pushing her more in singles than Aya.

Thoughts: All 8 girls were in this one of the majority of it. It wasn't super serious and there were tons of multi-girl moves. It was fine as a comedy break.

Fuwa-chan & STARS (Bea Priestley, Momo Kohgo, Saya Iida & Yuria Hime) vs. Anne Kanaya, Cosmic Angels (Saori Anou & Yuna Mizumori), Maika & Xena

Thoughts: It was an okay tag. There were a lot of stiff shots as expected and Akira didn't look bad as the underdog against the other 3. Suzu really needs to drop some weight as she's getting bigger and bigger and even Sareee couldn't lift her. I would have been okay with this one getting more time as things were going well.

Suzu chest forearms Iroha after and Sareee knocks Suzu down from behind for it.

Ran buzzsaw kicks her twice and pins her.

Thoughts: Ran got a big win here but the match really wasn't that good and leaned towards being boring. Hana didn't do much but slams and splashes. She just didn't throw or bully Ran around enough to be effective and Ran didn't do much of a better job in taking this match somewhere. The crowd seemed rather surprised at the finish. 

Ranna and Hana talk to each other on the mic after.

God's Eye (Ami Sourei, Hina, Lady C & Tomoka Inaba) vs. Neo Genesis (AZM, Mei Seira & Starlight Kid) & Tabata vs. HATE (Azusa Inaba, Fukigen Death, Natsuko Tora & Ruaka)

AZM got the pin on Tora here after a headscissors. It was a fast paced bout that got a little less than 6 minutes for unknown reasons. It was a bit messy with there being too many girls in the ring and the girls not always knowing whee they should be for the next spot. There was more than 2 girls in the ring at all times here.

Thoughts: It was longer, slower and not that good. There wasn't much of a story or clear heels and faces. It was just people doing moves for the most part and the two didn't click much. It wasn't really a Japanese or lucha style match either.

Han backdrops Rina off the buckles. Han step up enzugiri's her then backdrops her. twice for 2. Rina gets a 2 count on Han. Han wristclutch backdrops her and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a long match. They both did a similar match to what they did earlier in the show with Rina doing octopus variations and Han just doing her regular offense. No one botched anything but it was two average workers having a long and average main event. Hanan won which continues her big push she's been getting for the last year but it's still Hanan and she hasn't changed anything.

Hanan talks on the mic after to Rina but Rina just ends up leaving.

Kamitani spinning high kicks her. Kurara spears Kamitani. Kurara hits a nasty botched falcon arrow and she pins Kamitani.

Thoughts: Kurara got one of the biggest wins of her career here as she pinned Kamitani in the main. Unfortunately, she botched two of her big spots in this. I'm not really sure why we got this in the main over other matches. We really didn't see a lot of Konami or Poi in this and Kurara was the only one who was really going all out here. It was okay but forgettable. 

Kurara talks to Kamitani on the mic after. Kamitani responds and Kurara backs her up on the ropes. Kamitani has more words for her and shoves her. 

After that segment, Hana comes out with the Cinderella Tournament crown and dress. She is then given a trophy, gets streamers and fireworks and does a speech. She poses more on the ramp then Konami comes out. Konami boots her and spray paints her while laughing. Konami talks on the mic and Hanan is left a mess with paint on her.

Overall thoughts: It was a long show that went 4 hours and was mostly average. Hanan and Rina each got two matches here and both matches they had were pretty similar. The main only went 12 minutes and seemed to exist only to allow Hanan time to get her Cinderella outfit on. As always with these big Stardom shows, they tried to get as many people as possible on the show and because of it, we got a lot of throwaway matches that we didn't really need. I would say the Sareee/Iroha tag was probably the best match here. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and thought it was average overall.

Thoughts: It was short. It wasn't super serious. Kal did some basic heeling here by messing with Home's stuff then Home messed with his stuff as well. What we got was fine and fitting for what this show has which are pre-show dark matches.

Overall thoughts: We only got one new match here. Around the Ring wasn't on again but I'm not really complaining. We just got clips of some old matches otherwise here and some recaps. I wouldn't recommend this one.

WWE NXT 3/17/2026

WWE NXT 3/17/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/wwe-nxt-3102026.html

We are in Houston, TX. Vic Joseph and Booker T are on commentary.

It's Booker T Appreciation Night.

Thoughts: It was an okay triple threat here. Nothing too memorable though. Sol nearly died on a flying space tiger when she couldn't clear the top rope. Jacy winning is just what it is as Sol and Zaria are feuding and neither really needs the title right now.

The WrenQCC talk. Lexis King's crew walks in. Wren hits Dempsey and wants to know what his turn on Tavion was about. Dempsey says Wren found someone better to relate to and he has to do the same. Kendal tells Wren to focus on the group. Lola Vice comes in. She says Kendal is a bad@ss and says no one will stop her from winning the title.

Ricky Saints comes out to talk. He says he's the real main event and nothing will dampen his spirit. He says he and Ethan Page beat Borne and Hendry are having good relations. He says his team should be called, "The Slump Busters". Saints says they are focused on singles gold. Saints says Page will be a 2x North American champ while he will become a 2x NXT champ.

Ethan Page comes out. Page says he likes the name for their team. Page says he's the guy that pinned Joe Hendry last week. Saints tells Page to call out Borne. Page said he would if he wanted to become N-A champ. He says he still wants to become a 2x champ though. Saints says that's not the plan. 

Joe Hendry comes out. Joe says Page did some things Saints couldn't do. He says maybe Saints doesn't want the title as bad as Ethan Page does. Page and Saints argue then they both beat up Hendry. Hendry double lariats them then fallaway slams Saints and Page. Tony D'Angelo then spears Joe and spinebusters Saints and Page.

We see Fit Finlay and William Regal talk to The Birthright. Regal tells them to win the upcoming tag team tournament to compete at Stand and Deliver. Robert Stone comes in. Regal say he's doing a good job and says they need to talk to Shawn to make him the permanent GM.

Thoughts: The crowd was into this one and it was an entertaining tag. It was fast, maybe too fast at times and had a lot of flying. We saw some moves we don't normally see from these guys. I don't love The Project losing, but they are going to be doing a lot of losing here.

Elio LaFleur talks to Stone in the back. Sean Legacy and Eli Knight come in. Sean is on crutches and says he was injured last week. Eli is told he has to forfeit out of the tournament or find a partner. Elio offers to fill in for Eli. 

Sol Ruca comes up to Stone. She says she was screwed and needs to talk to Zar face to face next week.

Booker T cries some and Vic gives him a plaque, commemorating tonight as Booker T Appreciation Night. Booker gets a "You deserve it" chant. Booker thanks everyone.

Troy and Carver trade shots. Troy lariats him over the top. Officials then come to break it up. 

The roster then comes out to clap for Booker. Booker T says he wants to know what's going on here and says tells Stone that kind of stuff shouldn't happen in his city. Booker says someone needs to do something and we go to PiP break. 

Thoughts: This was a really weird segment. Them interrupting Booker's ceremony was odd but then Booker ranting on Stone was also unusual. Then they cut to break during it, to make it even more weird.

WWE NXT Women's Speed Title - Fallon Henley (c) vs Wren Sinclair

We have a 5 minute time limit for this. Wren rolls up Fallon and crucifixes her twice. Fallon hits forearms and a backhand. Wren shoulders over Fallon then tries a bridge pin. Fallon suplexes Wren. Fallon sweeps her for 2. Wrne suplexes Fallon for 2. 

Wren is sent to the apron and is booted down to the floor. Wren sweeps Fallon on the apron. Fallon swinging facebusters Wren. Wren arm throws Fallon down. Fallon chops Wren. Wren chops back. They backroll each other. Wren does a cattle mutilation and submits her.

Thoughts: It didn't get a lot of time and wasn't good at all. Their offense didn't look good at all and it didn't connect. This title doesn't really matter so much so it's not that important, but I think they could have done this title change better. Wren won her first WWE title here.

Ethan Page and Ricky Saints complain to Robert Stone in the back about them getting jumped. Page says Saints wants Tony D'Angelo next week. Saints is surprised by this and says he knows what Page is doing. Page says he can take care of that vigilante once and for all. Saints mockingly tells Page it was a hell of an idea.

Thoughts: It was another quick moving match here. I figured Birthright would win here since they are new and do need some wins to gain credibility. It didn't get a lot of time. They made the best of what they did get there though and it was alright.

Joe Hendry talks to Stone. He says he wants a match with Tony D. Stone says Tony already has a match for next week. We see OTM and Darkstate fighting outside in the parking lot. Price is launched off a loading platform and Nima gets his head kicked into the side of a truck. 

Tatum Paxley talks to Thea Hail in the back. Thea believes in her tonight and tells her she has got this. Tatum says NXT needs more people like Thea.

Izzi hits her with a chair in the gut and back. Izzi powerbombs TP into the cage. TP sunset bombs her on a chair. TP throws a chair at her and spinning heel kicks it into her. TP hits a tequila shot on her on a chair and wins.

Thoughts: It got enough time to play out. It was a bit of a different cage match than usual as there were no escape the cage rules, yet they still kept going up top anyway many times. It was definitely a bit unconventional. Izzi didn't seem totally comfortable in this. The lack of blood hurt things like it always does. Tatum won which should end the feud and we'll have to see where both girls go next. I just thought this was so-so. 

Tatum poses with the title on the stage. Blake Monroe appears out of a trap door, pulls her down the hole and takes the title down in the hole with her. 

Overall thoughts: As always with this show, there were a ton of things going on. That's not a bad thing but it can be a bit tough to follow along. I do think they could maybe refresh us more on some of the ongoings to make it easier. The women's triple threat was fine. I liked trios match. Booker T's segment was very odd with Keanu and Troy fighting during it, Booker going off on Robert Stone and then they cut to break to end it. Wren Sinclair beat Fallon Henley for the Speed Title in a surprise. The Birthright beat Hank and Tank in a fast paced match that didn't get a ton of time. The women's cage match was something different. It didn't have escape the cage rules but the girls kept going up top anyway and they just worked it in a different way than most cage matches are usually worked. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall. It was alright but it could have been better.

NWA Powerrr 3/17/2026

NWA Powerrr 3/17/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/nwa-powerrr-3102026.html

Joe Galli, Danny Dealz and Tim Storm are on commentary. 

The announcers say it's the 250th episode, Billy Corgan's birthday and the start of The Crockett Cup. 

The Immortals (Kratos and Odinson) vs Jack and Eddie

Kratos shoulders over Jack to start then clubs him in the corner. Kratos tosses him far on a suplex. Odin exploders Jack. Odin flying euros Eddie twice. They go for a mcgillicutter but they mess up the bump. Eddie boots Odin out of the corner. Eddie comes off the 2nd rope and Odin euros him in mid-air. 

Eddie hits shots on Kratos. Kratos pop up drops him. Kratos deadlift suplexes Eddie for the win.

Thoughts: It was all squash. The jobbers did a good job of being thrown around and they really made The Immortals look good. The jobbers really took a whooping here.

Kyle Davis interviews The Immortals in the ring. Kratos tells the jobbers to get up. He says to give it up for these kids. Kratos says there has never been anyone who has won The Crockett Cup twice. Kratos says they are prey to none, friends to few and predators to all.

Hammerstone does a promo. He says he's back in the NWA and says they are throwing him in the deep end. He says when he steps in the ring with Carnage, that's how he starts his journey to the title.

Crockett Cup 2026 #16a Seed Qualifier - Corey Hollis and Brady Pierce vs Sins and Grins (Izzy James and Bam Bam Malone) vs The Lost (Alex Misery and Gaagz the Gymp) vs The Pretty City Express (CLAS and Devin Reno)

Reno and Izzy go at it. Izzy armdrags him into an armlock. Izzy backslides him for 2. Izzy cartwheels. Reno catches his springboard crossbody. Reno sunset flips him for 2. Bam slingshot swantons Reno for 2. Bam chops Reno. Reno back elbows him down. Bam is double teamed in the corner.

Bam is double teamed. CLAS elbow drops him and Reno knee drops him. Gymp tags in and rips at Bam's face. Gymp corner spears Bam and Alex slams Gymp onto Bam for 2. Brady tags in and takes shots from Bam. Brady spinebusters him for 2. Brady then hits mounted shots. 

Corey comes in. Izzy lariats and back elbows him. Izzy springboard twisting crossbodies him then corner spears him. Corey 2nd rope twisting enzugiri's him. We get a big fight outside and Alex tornillo's onto everyone outside. Bam fameassers Corey and Bam claymore kicks Corey to win.

Thoughts: It was your usual 4-way with a lot of people coming in and out. Everyone got their little segment and not a lot else. They really tried to put Bam Bam Malone over here as he picked up the pin. It was pretty forgettable. We haven't seen most of these guys before so it was a bit hard to follow.

The Paige Sisters talk about Sirena Veil. Kylie says Veil likes to fight and she doesn't get a piece of this for free. The Paige Sisters then smell something bad. We then see Haley J petting her dog implying that the dog made a mess on the floor. The girls then argue as the dog looks confused.

Crockett Cup Seeds:
#16 - Qualifier winners
#15 - Zyon and Bonez
#14 - Wrecking Ball Legursky and JAC
#13 - Pretty Boy Smooth and Hayden Backlund
#12 - The Hardway
#11 - Trevor Murdoch and Tyler Franks
#10 - The Slimeballz
#9 - Thom Latimer and El Dragon Nihan
#8 - Carson and Lockjaw Drake
#7 - Mims and The Pope
#6 - AJ and KC Cazana
#5 - The Southern Six (Kerry Morton and Alex Taylor)
#4 - Mike Mondo and SLADE
#3 - Eddie and Orlando Colon
#2 - The Good Brothers
#1 - The Immortals

Thoughts: The seeds are pretty weird. The Slimeballz are the current US Tag champs and are at #10 while people who have never even teamed up here or won anything are ahead of them. They also said The Drake's hold one of the territory tag titles and that puts them ahead of The Slimeballz, which is also weird.

Izzy James and Bam Bam Malone do a promo. Izzy says The Lost got bit. Bam says as long as they are in the tournament, they will win.

NWA Women's TV Title - Tiffany Nieves (c) vs Liviyah

This is Liviyah's NWA debut. 

Tiff slaps Liv and gets in her face. Liv backslides her for 1. Tiff spin kicks her in the gut then shoulders her over. Liv crossbodies Tiff for 2. Tiff stomps Liv's foot then chops and foot chokes her. Tiff's head is banged off the buckles then Liv's head is banged off of them. 

Tiff hits corner spears. Tiff goes up and over then slides out behind Greta and Ms. Starr. Liv then runs into Greta. Tiff dropkicks Liv through the ropes hard. Liv's head is banged off the post. Tiff then gets sent into the post. 

Tiff lariats Liv for 2. Liv rams Tiff into the corner. Liv hits forearms. Tiff cartwheels and blows a kiss. Tiff spinning side slams Liv for 2. Greta gets in the ring then chokeslams Liv. Instead of Tiff being DQ'd, they say the ref has thrown the match out.

Thoughts: The finish was weird with Tiff having Greta cost her the match for no reason. Liviyah's green, but she's decent looking, she's a total face, she seems like she can move some and she may be a future prospect. I'd like to see her brought back. This was a random one and was average.

The Cazana's do a promo. Joe says it's not a coincidence that The Crockett Cup is 40 and this is 40th year in the business. Joe says they will win The Crockett Cup and do it by the book.

Daisy Kill does a promo. Kill says he did what he was supposed to last week and Hunter Drake is gone. He says The Lost came out to get theirs and he beat them too. He says Eric Smalls then came out to take advantage of him. Kill says that's not how The Reign of Terror will go and he will get this back on track to turn this into a good time.

KC Cazana vs Jake Cross

The crowd chants "KFC" at Joe Cazana. KC piefaces Jake in the corner. KC misses chops and Jake hits some shots. KC takes him down and hits some punches. KC stomps Jake. Jake spin kicks him in the gut. KC backdrops him. KC does his strut into a legdrop. KC hits a hard lariat and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a short squash and not much else. KC hit a decent lariat here.

Joe and KC Cazana are interviewed by Kyle Davis. Joe isn't happy with The Crockett Cup seeding. Joe says they are ranked #6 and should be the #1 seed. Joe says they have beaten all of the teams in the tournament. He says Billy Corgan's biased seeding caused this problem. Joe says they will win the cup and take it back to East Tennessee. 

Dr. Vik's Abode

Vik gives himself a pep talk in the mirror. He says tonight is about him, not Tiffany's birthday. He tells himself he's the best at what he does. He says it's about him catching his whale tonight. He says he will make Tiffany his once and for all.

Tiffany Nieves comes in with Ms. Starr, Greta, Pastor C-Lo and Pretty Boy Smooth. Vik is disappointed as he thought he was getting a date here.

Kyle Davis talks to Bryan Idol and Billy Corgan in the ring. Billy says it's his 59th birthday. He says he's a wrestling promoter willing to throw his money down a black hole called pro wrestling. Idol says he has an announcement. Idol says he asked himself what you get a man that has everything? Idol says he's cashing in his NWA TV Title through the Lucky 7 rule. He says he will give Billy the NWA back.

Silas Mason comes out. Billy says he's not scheduled to be out here.  He assumes he has something important to say. Silas says not to make assumptions as he looks like an @ss. Silas says he knew Idol couldn't read but says he can't count either. He asks how many times he beat him and says he marked him like the dog that he is with a scar on his body. He says he's like herpes and he will vaccinate him from the NWA. Silas says he wants the match now. 

The Good Brothers do a promo. They say they are taking over the NWA. Luke says they are 9x tag champs and are gunning for The Crockett Cup. He says they've got a lot but don't have The Crockett Cup trophy. They say it'll be a 1-2-3 and a just too sweet.

Hammerstone vs Carnage

Carn boots Hammer in the corner. Carn bangs Hammer's head off the buckles and hits corner spears. Carn slaps him and takes an overhead belly to belly suplex. Hammer then hits a 2nd one and lariats him over the top. Hammer slingshot plancha's him. Carn facekicks Hammer off the apron. 

We go to break. Dr. Vik has the group from earlier in his apartment. He says he has had moments of inspiration at night and says they will like what he came up with. Vik says he's shy with people they don't know. Tiff says we are all friends of friends. Vik says he has a secret and the others say they don't have secrets. 

Aron Steven's crew does a promo. Aron says he has 2 teams in The Crockett Cup. The Slimeballz say they are in it too but Aron says he has The Drakes and Slade/Mondo. Carson complains that he has to fight Chico Adams next week. Carson says if anyone knows about champions, it's the manager of champions, Aron Stevens. Aron says the NWA's conspiracy against him has went onto his clients. Aron says all they do is win and will show us what's up at The Cup in 2026.

We return from break. Carn sends Hammer into the steps. Carn suplexes Hammer for 2. Carn does a trapezius hold on Hammer. 

Carn knees Hammer in the gut then corner splashes him. Carn hits another corner splash. Hammer boots him out of the corner and jawbreakers him. Hammer flying lariats him. Carn boots him out of the corner and Hammer pump kicks him for 2. Carn superkicks him and powerslams him for 2. 

Carn misses a corner spear. Hammer hits a nightmare pendulum and wins.

Thoughts: What we got was acceptable here. They did some heavyweight wrestling and Hammer ultimately picked up the win. Carnage isn't a singles wrestler so him losing here means nothing while Hammer could use some wins to beef up his credibility here.

Overall thoughts: It was your usual NWA Powerrr episode. We had lots of random bouts and wrestlers as always. Most of it was filler and there was nothing that great here. We had more stuff with Dr. Vik, which still continues to mostly be a waste of time and a lot of time was spent here on The Crockett Cup. We did get some things set up for future eps though with Idol/Silas and Crockett Cup qualifiers. I'd give this a low 5 out of 10. I wouldn't recommend this.

SWS Super World Sports 9/9/1990

SWS Super World Sports 9/9/1990

 

Notes - This is a very unusual video. They show clips of other matches while matches are going on. The commentator for this also talks in Japanese and shouts out a bunch of English phrases. He's not bad at it either.

One Night Tournament - 2nd Round - Shunji Takano vs. Kendo Nagasaki

We get clips of Shunji Takano vs Fumihiro Niikura before this starts. Shunji hits a nice lariat then a hard rolling koppo kick to win.

We then gets clips of Kendo Nagasaki vs Shinichi Nakano. Nakano hits a top rope dropkick and totally misses an enzugiri. Nakano takes a stun gun. Kendo piledrivers him and pins him.

They lock up and Ken throws him out. Ken hits some nasty clubs to the back and bangs his head off a table. Ken hits hard open chair shots to the back then folds the chair and chairs him. Shun is thrown into the rails and into the front row. 

They get in the ring and Ken hits wild chair shots to the back. Ken then stomps and stands on him. The ref gets shoved. Ken chokes him more as the ref tries anything. The ref then DQ's Kendo. 

Thoughts: Kendo beat the ever loving crap out of Shunji here. If you want to say wrestling is fake, go watch a Kendo Nagasaki match. You couldn't pay me to be in Shunji's shoes here. 

Kendo chairs him more after the bell. Kendo piledrivers him onto chairs then he finally leaves.

One Night Tournament - 2nd Round - Naoki Sano vs. Samson Fuyuki

Sano high kicks him and kicks him while he's down. We cut to Fuyuki vs The Great Kabuki. Fuyuki drops him with spinning heel kicks. Fuyuki comes off the top and Kabuki green mists him, getting DQ'd.

Thoughts: We didn't see a lot of this. Sano did mostly all kicks here. Fuyuki's la silla off the 2nd rope was something different. 

One Night Tournament - Semi Finals -George Takano vs Shunji Takano

George slaps him and Shun slaps him back. 

We cut to clips of Goro Tsurumi vs George Takano. Goro low blows him. Goro goes for a 2nd rope backdrop and George bodypresses him and pins him.

George germans Shun for 2. George dropkicks him off the buckles then crabs him. Shun submits.

Thoughts: We didn't see much of it. They were not taking it easy with each other and I liked some of the fighting spirit shown here. 

We see clips from the SWS introduction press conference. We see the wrestlers working out and greeting fans. 

George Takano vs Naoki Sano

Sano kind of ddt's him and back rolls into a guillotine. GT fujiwara armbars him. GT powerbombs him for 2 then suplexes him. Sano trips him, kneels on his back and chinlocks him.

Thoughts: Maybe it wasn't great but they did a decent job of making this look like a real fight. They both took some stiff bumps here and it was definitely hard fought. GT's comeback at the end was nice and what we got wasn't bad.

Genichiro Tenyru & Takashi Ishikawa vs. Yoshiaki Yatsu & Isao Takagi

We join this in progress. Yatsu hits GT with an open chair and bangs GT's head off a row of chairs. GT is busted open. Isao top rope clubs GT in the head. Iso suplexes him for 2. GT hits a big powerbomb. 

Yatsu suplexes GT then top rope double axe handles him for 2. Isao hits headbutts on GT. TI gets in and slap flurries Isao. He hits a stiff lariat. TI pulls on his legs and Yatsu breaks it up. Yatsu hits a stiff piledriver on TI for 2.

Isao running lariats GT. GT knees Isao out of the corner. TI spinning heel kicks Isao in the corner. GT chops and boots Isao in the corner. Isao's covering up and GT's making him put his hands down. Yatsu backs off GT and the ref knockdown counts Isao. GT hits more kicks to the head. GT chops him down. GT and TI then win by ref stoppage.

Thoughts: Isao should have been nicknamed "Soccer Ball Head" after this. Tenryu just relentlessly and brutally kicked him over and over and over again. Isao legit took a serious whooping here and ended up turning face over it. This was joined in progress but what we got was good. Everyone was fired up and the crowd was pretty hot. These guys were so much better than the wrestlers are today. I wouldn't consider it a classic but it was good, realistic and it was stuff like this that made people love Japanese wrestling so much.

Overall thoughts: I wouldn't recommend it. Everything is clipped. Them cutting to other matches while matches were going on was super confusing and the payoff wasn't really worth the effort. The big highlights here were Kendo Nagasaki beating the crap out of Shunji Takano then Tenryu turning Isao Takagi's head into a soccer ball in the main event. The main was good and worth seeing. I also liked the commentary here as it was partially in English. This was a bit of rough watch otherwise though and if you are looking for a sample of what SWS was about, this isn't it. I'd give this a 4 out of 10, and it wasn't the wrestling that brought it down, just the awful formatting of the show.

WWE Monday Night Raw 3/16/2026

WWE Monday Night Raw 3/16/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/wwe-monday-night-raw-392026.html

We are in San Antonio, TX. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive and hang out. 

The commentators talk and the masked men all come out. Seth Rollins then reveals himself. Seth says he created The Vision and will be the one to kill The Vision. He says if you stand next to Paul Heyman, consider yourself marked for death. He says he curb stomped Paul Heyman last week.

We then see Paul Heyman come in looking messy with a bruised eye. Seth threatens to cut Paul out like the cancer he is. Paul says he wasn't going to come out here but wouldn't miss this for the world. Paul says because Seth f'd with him, he will f with him. He says everyone knows what the rule is - FAFO, FAFO, FAF-FIVEEEEE.

Brock Lesnar comes out. He lariat and suplexes the masked men hard. Brock then scares some of them off. One of the masked men takes a horrible looking suplex into the rails. The masked men gang up on Brock. Brock throws them around and stares down Seth. 

Oba Femi then comes out. Oba and Brock stare down. Brock turns his head, comes at him and Oba pop-up powerbombs him. Oba stands on Brock's chest and points at the Mania sign.

Thoughts: They've been doing hot angles to open the show lately and this was another one of them. This was good and I'm interested to see where it goes. Oba got big pops for putting down Brock. Brock absolutely destroyed some of the masked men.

We see clips from Rey de Reyes with Grande Americano Original and Grande II going at it. 

El Grande Americano Original vs El Grande Americano

I'll refer to Kaiser Americano as 2 here and Grande Gable as 1.

1 koppo kicks 2 and hits chops. 1 back body drops him then triangles him over the top rope. 1 gets distracted by Rayo and Bravo then takes a baseball slide. 1 then takes a baseball slide. 2 tilt-a-whirl gutwrenches him for 2. 1 backdrops 2 then yanks his leg. 1 then dragon screws 2.

1 northern lights suplexes 2 for 2. They hockey fight. 2 takes a belly to belly suplex over the top onto his partners. 1 overhead throws 2. 1 russian legsweeps 2 then rolling koppo kicks him. 1 germans 2 then exploders him. 1 cannonballs Rayo off the apron then koppo kicks Bravo. 1 hits a reverse angle slam on 2 for 2. 2 PK's 1.

Bravo loads up 2's mask. 1 top rope diving headbutts 2 but nails the loaded mask. 2 then pins 1 as he is out.

Thoughts: It was fine and full of shenanigans as expected with Bravo and Rayo being involved and 2 cheating to win. It's a shame this feud isn't as over in the US as it is in Mexico as the Mexican crowds make this so much better. 

Roman Reigns arrives in a car. The Uso's go up to him and they are all happy to see each other. Roman tells them they did the right thing sticking up for the family. Roman says if you run your mouth, there's gotta be consequences. Roman grabs the camera and tells his family they should be offended by what Punk said. Roman says Punk is his at Mania. 

Liv Morgan does a video. She says the turn on Finn Balor was her plan since she joined Judgment Day. She says Finn was on borrowed time and didn't know it. Liv says she knows when Finn is lying and scheming and it's been a pleasure watching him fall from grace. She says he get soft and is a pathetic loser. Liv says they are on to bigger and better things. She says JD will soar without Finn holding him down. She says Dom will get his IC Title back. Liv says Raquel is a future champ and will take care of Vaquer tonight. Liv says she will be the new champ at Mania as Judgment Day has her back. She says they are better than ever without Finn.

The Uso's and Roman talk in the back. Jimmy says he punched Punk in the face last week and will do it again. Jimmy says everything Punk has said to Roman hasn't landed. Roman says the world can call him a part-timer as long as his kids and wife say he's a full-time dad. Jey says Punk still owes them an apology. Roman says he doesn't need an apology from Punk but The Uso's do.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good, mostly due to AJ. She's just not hitting her offense clean or with much force. It did pick up a bit near the end when they slapped each other but that was about the only highlight. AJ won as expected.

JD McDonaugh and Adam Pearce argue about Dom Mysterio's status in the back. Adam says he's not clear. Penta comes in and says thank you to Pearce then leaves.

Penta enzugiri's Lee on the apron. Lee superkicks Penta off the apron. Lee then tope con hilos Penta while he sits on the commentary table. Lee hits destino for 2. Penta canadian destroyers him and wins.

Thoughts: It was what you would expect with them flying, doing superkicks and kept things moving. It wasn't their best possible effort but it was acceptable. Lee hit a great tope con hilo through the ropes while Penta was on the commentary table.

Paul Heyman talks to Logan Paul and Austin Theory in the back. Theory says Seth is a dead man. Paul says that's the worst thing they can do and Seth wants to divide and conquer. Paul says Seth cubrstomped him and nothing happened because they have no power. Paul says they get power by getting titles. Paul says they should go after the tag titles and they agree.

Thoughts: It didn't go too long here. Max hung in a bit but was the clear underdog in this. Max's execution could have been a little better but I think they had the base of this story right.

Randy Orton is interviewed. Orton talks on the phone with someone and says he will see them soon. Orton tells Cole there will be no interview. Orton said he talked to someone who had a brain. He said  they helped him understand who and what he is - a killer. Orton says wrestling has more than one royal family, mocking Cody's line.

Je'Von Evans is all excited and goes up top Dragon Lee. Kofi Kingston interrupts. Kofi says he knows Evans wants to be the next champ and says it's all about who you associate with. He says some will lift you up and others will drag-on you down. Evans says no to Kofi's help. Grayson Waller comes in and says he doesn't know what they see in him. Kofi says people say the same thing about Waller.

Lyra Valkyria talks to Bayley in the back. Bay is upset about her loss. Lyra says she wants to see her get to Mania and says she will help her get there. Lyra says they will get to Mania together. The Kabuki Warriors walk in. Asuka says they messed up her chance at the becoming the IC champ. She says she could have beaten AJ if she won last week. She says she will never forget them costing her the title. Asuka says they are not ready for her. Sane tells Bay to stay away from them. Lyra asks what was said and Bay says they are going after the tag titles. Lyra says they should talk to Pearce.

LA Knight talks to The Uso's in the back. LA says The Vision had their names in their mouths. LA says The Uso's are getting cozy with Roman. Jimmy says it's family business and Jey tells him to mind his business. LA says he can respect it. He says he can't respect The Bloodline and says they can't be on the same page if they talk The Bloodline. Jey then won't fist bump LA.

Roman Reigns comes out. He puts himself over. He says he's in the beginning, the middle and he closes the show. He says Punk must have forgotten he's on his show. Roman invites Phil to come out.

CM Punk comes out. Roman says, "welcome to my ring, welcome to my main event". Punk says his friends and family can call him Phil and he says he could call him Tittitiaki or Joe, a Samoan he loves much. Roman says maybe he should call Joe and remind him who his tribal chief is. Punk asks if Roman will send The Samoan's after him. Roman says they will do what they gotta do. 

Punk says he knows he's in Roman's head. Roman says he's on everyone's mind all the time and says Punk will just say anything. Roman says Phil hasn't main evented anything this year and couldn't main event a live event tour in Europe. Punk says he didn't want The Uso's get to caught in the situation. Punk says he deserved what he got last week. He says it was the right message and the wrong messenger. Punk asks who the real tribal chief is. 

Roman mocks Punk's line. Roman says he repeats the same things. Roman tells Punk to ask his wife about being a part-timer and tells him not to waste his time until he can come up with something that phases him. Roman goes to leave and Punk follows him. Punk says it's his ring and show and says he can tell Roman when it's time to go.

Punk says he will pin Roman and it will be the last time he main events Mania. He says he will send him back down to earth and he will beat him at Mania. Roman tells him he's delusional. Roman says he's the most successful star he ran into and is his tribal chief. Roman says Punk isn't faster or stronger than him or better looking. He says Punk is a try hard and says he's old.

Punk then drops Roman with a shot. Adam Pearce and others then come down to stop Punk.

Thoughts: Roman is really getting the edge over Punk here on the mic. Maybe it's just a work but Punk really has nothing that bad to say to him in return. Part of the problem is that Roman kind of is the bigger star in wrestling and it's really hard for Punk to argue otherwise.

We get a Davey Coates graphic to close the show. He helped out with international production and passed away in the last week. 
 
Overall thoughts: It was a pretty average Raw. The opening segment was the best thing on here and nothing else came close. The Grande vs Grande and Lee vs Penta matches were fine but nothing great. The women didn't impress. Roman continues to mop the floor with Punk on the mic as well and the more these two talk, the worse Punk looks. I'd give it a lower 6 out of 10. It was okay enough but not much more.

Thoughts: It got over 30 minutes to play out. It was a good torneo. There was nothing super memorable here and Tiger Boy was the only one who I would say really got to show off. Tiger was definitely being pushed here in this one and he got close to pulling off the upset being falling short. Things slowed down a lot towards the end when Tiger was fighting off Raider and Robin.

Los Hermanos Calavera (Calavera Jr. I & Calavera Jr. II) & Yutani vs. La Fuerza Poblana (Arkalis, Stigma & Xelhua)

Thoughts: It was an okay bout. Xel was a little more comfortable here than usual but when he's not doing fancy submissions, he's more of a guy who does the basics like Atlantis Sr. The heels couldn't really get their triple teams right but they got enough of them to make it look like it hurt. I was surprised they aired this over the main event.

Overall thoughts: We only got 2 matches here but one of them went 30+ and it was the one most people would have liked to have seen on this. Both matches were fine but nothing must see. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 and the show was fine.
