He says he was able to accomplish a dream since he had as kid and is a real music mogul. He says he's the guy that owns the music from the guy that doesn't deserve it.

Thoughts: RS won as expected. It was a slower and longer match and it wasn't anything too impressive. I assumed this was some kind of tryout match for Dak, but I don't hink he really impressed or looked as good as he used to. It was an average match here.

The Elegance Brand goes up to Daria Rae's office. George Iceman says he heard there were open spots in Ultimate X. He shows off Mr. Elegance and tries to get him in. Ash says Mr. Elegance is perfect.

Indi nails Ash on the apron after. EB attacks Indi from behind and Mara Sade jumps in. 

Santino Marella and Giovanni Vinci talk. Gio says he didn't come here to be another name and wanted to show the world he's one of the best on the planet.

Alisha hits Moose with a kendo stick and Eddie shining wizard's Moose to win.

Thoughts: It was fine. The Hardy's were looking a little older here but this made sense and the action was alright. I do think we need a conclusion on Moose vs The System at some point as it has been going on for a while and hasn't progressed all that much.

Mike Santana comes out. Mike says the people want to see a fight and tells Nic Nemeth to come out so they can handle this. Ryan Nemeth comes out instead. Ryan puts over his brother and Moose says Nic is a b!tch. Nic comes out. He says Mike made the most of his 15 minutes of fame. 

Nic says Mike is on borrowed time. He says Mike can call him what he wants, but he will call him champ at Slammiversary. The crowd chants, "you're a b!tch" at Nic. Mike says he will see him at Slammiversary, spin the block and rip his head off. Mike says he will still be TNA champ.

Thoughts: This was just filler here. Nothing was accomplished except wasting time.

Overall thoughts: It was a very easy episode of TNA to get through. We had 2 decent trios matches matches here but not much else of note wrestling wise. I liked the AJ Francis segment. They way they picked people for Ultimate X was lazy and Cedric Alexander wasn't good in his segment. The final segment was also nothing more than filler and accomplished nothing. I'd give the show a 5 out of 10. It was average for the most part with nothing being that great. Order 4's match was match of the night.

Thoughts: I liked it. It was one of Layla's best matches yet. They all worked pretty well together and kept it interesting without doing too much. I liked the leapfrog over the running shoulderblock spot. This was okay.

Overall thoughts: We had 3 new matches here. The main was the best match of the night with the girls gelling well together and everyone doing a good job. Otis/Lewis was alright but not their best and Kiana/Grace was only acceptable. There's nothing must see here but you can get through this in under 30 minutes and it was a decent enough show.

Thoughts: Kane had a better showing than usual here and what we got wasn't bad. Kane's tope con hilo into the crowd was nice. It was good to see Caleb Konley win and that should make things interesting storyline wise as it will definitely solidify him as the top heel. This should also set up more between Kane and Flowe.

The crowd throws drinks and ice at Caleb after.

Barn says he feels like he is seeing a ghost and says everyone must atone for their actions. Barn says he wants to make things right and says they should just talk. The show ends without us seeing who the mystery person is.

Overall thoughts: It was one of the better episodes of Lunacy. The wrestling was fine and the stories were good as usual. It was easy to watch, a lot went on and it was a bit shorter, which helped it quality wise. I had no real problems with this one and thought it was a good effort. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and I thought this was good.

Thoughts: The chair's gimmick wasn't the best as they hit each other with the chairs some and it didn't take anyone out. It got a lot of time and the crowd wasn't into it as much as they should have been. It was alright enough but not much else.

Danny Limelight is interviewed. Danny says the interviewer isn't funny and says she welcomed Niko Vance in like everyone use. He says Niko ended his title reign and it's not funny. Danny says he's facing a giant, The Knicks are winning the basketball championship top and he's retaining his ROW Title tonight. He says Niko is all brawn and no brains.

Thoughts: I didn't get the results here. The ref was pulled out when Niko had the pin, not Danny. Danny should have been DQ'd. Danny worked the arm a bit here. Niko made his comeback but it wasn't anything too great then we had a lame finish to end it. This wasn't that good.

Danny topes Niko after. Niko gets in the ring and hidden blade's him. Max then pounds on Niko in the ring. Max hits Niko with the ROW World Title then hits Danny with it too. Max then poses in the ring with the title.

Overall thoughts: The show ended with a DQ finish and that kind of hurt the overall feel of the show. The show was acceptable overall but nothing was must see. It was nice to see a couple of things followed up on here though. I'd say Tempo/Luther was probably my favorite match on this but it was not great or anything. ROW shows make a little more sense when you can see the whole show live, but the 30-40 minute format of GLORY and PLATINUM shows works better. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as the show was average.

Thoughts: It was a fun match. There was a rough moment or two and it maybe could have been faster at times. But they put a lot of effort into this, both took some hard shots at times and we got to see full match here. It's a shame this didn't have more build to it going in as it would have made this better. Zack's bump into the chair between the ropes looked painful and we saw a rare table spot here. 

Richard Holiday is interviewed. Rich is cashing in his title shot vs Semsei tonight. He says he hasn't been here for a few months but will go for the Legacy Title tonight.

He says to let ROW know who you want to see in that tournament. Sharmell talks but we can't hear her. Booker then has the crowd do a "shucky ducky, quack quack".

Thoughts: It was a quick bout. This could have easily gotten double the time it got. What we got was fine and got the story across of EJ/Sam having some issues and them using their size against their much smaller opponents. I'm sure Erik will end up blaming RM for this loss.

EK Prosper is interviewed. He says tonight is his first cage match. He's nervous but not afraid of AJ. EK says he will put him on his back again and show why he is ROW Glory champ. He says he will always prosper.

He says Gator-GPT is his first product and says he needs to show us it in action. He asks the app what the moon is and it says the moon is an alien mothership that is used to monitor the earth and get our data. 

He then says his next product is bitcoin related. The second product is Gatorcoin. He says it only appreciates in value and says if you take something that is 0 and multiply it by 0, it stays 0, so it never goes down in value.

He says his next product involves weight loss. He calls it Buckzempic. He says it's a drinkable product with a lot of caffeine and water. He asks the crowd which one they will go with. The crowd doesn't like Gatorzempic or Gator-GPT and likes Gatorcoin. Buck says he will call his financial advisor for funds. He calls the bank and they say he's got credit card fraud.

Thoughts: It was a good match. AJ always bumps big in these big matches and he did so here. I could have gone without the canadian destroyer spot though. AJ didn't win clean, so this should open up a rematch if they go that route. They put out a good effort for this and EK did a fair bit of flying despite the cage hindering some of it. 

AJ's House Money crew poses. BK Luther comes down the aisle and stares down AJ. Luther slow claps for AJ. 

Overall thoughts: I'm not sure if this will be released as separate Glory episodes or not. It went 2.5 hours. ROW is good at putting out watchable matches but not so strong at building up reasons for the matches to happen. Most of the bouts here were random and it hurt my interest in the bouts. Some of it is ROW's fault, but some of it is just the nature of ROW being an indy with a lower budget where their usual wrestlers may not always be available.

We had a bunch of acceptable matches that didn't get a ton of time on this show minus the main. The main was a good cage match with EK doing his flying and AJ Francis continuing to show that he will put out a great effort for big matches when needed. The main was the best match of the night and maybe Semsei/Holliday was the second best bout on here. Ace/Hoka was my least favorite match as it just didn't get much time at all when I thought it could have been a fun bout. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall and it was an okay show.

AEW Dynamite 6/17/2026

AEW Dynamite 6/17/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/aew-dynamite-6102026-summer-blockbuster.html

Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz are on commentary.

MJF is with the entire Don Callis Family. Lexi interiews them. MJF says his title is the only world title that matters. He says he's the best wrestler in the world. He says lot's of men call him and his title out. He talks about Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher. He tells Swerve Strickland that if he wants power, come win The Owen and take the title. He tells him to swerve off a bridge if he can't. He says he hops Ospreay makes it to Wembley so he can break his neck in front of his fans. He says he beat Omega twice and he's a meer mortal who can't get redemption. He says Mark Briscoe isn't a big star and says people just feel bad for him because his brother died. He says Mark's delusional to think he can win the title. 

Don says he has an all-star team for tonight with Kevin Knight, Kyle Fletcher, Jake Doyle, Okada and Andrade El Idolo. Idolo asks MJF if he thinks he will join him and asks, "How you know?".

Nese poses. Mark Sterling distracts KO and Nese sweeps KO. Nese misses an asai moonsault. KO dragon suplexes him twice. KO pumping knees him on the ropes. Mark Sterling gets on the apron and KO pumping knees him. KO hits an OWA and wins.

Thoughts: I don't know what the purpose of this was as at all. Nese never wrestlers on this show and Kenny basically squashed him.

Kenny Omega goes to talk and Zack Sabre Jr. comes out with Mikey Nichols and Bad Dude Tito. Omega leaves the ring. Jack Perry and The Young Bucks come out. Omega says neither he or TMDK knows what it stands for. Omega thanks Zack for coming here to challenge him. Omega says it'll be them in a 1v1 match. Omega talks in a goofy manner does his goodnight bang line.

Thoughts: This was not good and certainly not a great way to sell one of the bigger matches at a PPV. This was basically a comedic promo, but Kenny's long been one of the worst promos in wrestling and it's not surprising.

Thoughts: It didn't start off well as we had people dancing and BK barking with Shafir. It was a longer bout and it could have been shorter. The Death Riders were back to being heels here after being faces vs The Shane Taylor Promotions last time. There were just a lot of issues with this and I didn't care for it.

Kyle Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada talk. Kyle says they will be in the main event tonight and the main event at Forbidden Door. Kyle says they will bring the International Title back to The Family. They don't know who they are facing at Forbidden Door but know it won't be Tomohiro Ishii. Ishii is down underneath them holding his neck.  

Tomasso Ciampa does a promo. He says he can give Jericho one reason why he hates him and not 1,004 reasons. He says he used to respect him and talks about his career. He says he used to be the best but is desperate with jokes and puns. He says he hates every last bit of him. He tells Jericho to stay home or out of his world if he brings that version of Jericho out. He says let's dance if he thinks Ciampa is worthy. He says the ball in his court and not to drop it.

The Dogs mess with a production guy in the back. Clark lights a match. It turns out to be Adam Copeland. Christian Cage appears. They beat up The Dogs on the ramp and in the ring. DG is lariated out of the ring and Clark is sent into the buckles shoulder first. The faces go for a double spear and DF saves Clark.

He says he's never faced a tag team who is named after their mothers. Cage makes some gross comments. Cope says The Dogs are them from 30 years ago. Cope says The Dogs are their learning curve. Cope says they thought they figured it out when they faced The APA and The New Age Outlaws. Cope says they learned. Cope says they will use their old man strength and knowledge. Cope says The Dogs will walk out of Forbidden Door as house broken pups.

We get a video on Starlight Kid and see a translated promo. She says she will bring the AEW Title home and asks the crowd to support her.

Tony Schiavone interviews Will Ospreay in the ring and congratulates him on getting married to Alex Windsor. He talks about having intercourse with her and told her to "clean herself up". Swerve Strickland is brought out with Prince Nana. Nana says Tony's suit is too tight and tells him to get out. 

Swerve says he's been keeping an eye on Will and hasn't liked what he saw from him. Swerve says he changed. Will says he hasn't changed but says Swerve has changed. Will asks if they have a problem. Swerve says he does. He says they fought off The Death Riders in 2025 and now Will is playing Booty Boot Camp with them. Swerve says Will never explained it to anyone.

Will says he hasn't forgotten what The Death Riders did to him and he has to let it go. He says they are his training partners. He says the training is working. He says when The Death Riders broke his neck in London, he saw Darby and Kenny trying to get in the cage but didn't see Swerve. He asks where Swerve was and says Swerve's knee was injured. Will says this started at All In: Texas. He says they beat The Young Bucks. He says he asked Swerve for help in getting the belt back. He says Swerve said nothing and Will ended up in a hospital.

Will says he expects Swerve to run through a brick wall to help him and asks Swerve where he was and why didn't help him. He then slaps the mic away from Swerve. He says Forbidden Door is bigger than any explanation. Will says Forbidden Door is his dream. He says he used to work new Wembley. He says he and everyone else wanted to kick the winning goal there. He says this is he semi-final to his world cup. He says Swerve won't hesitate to end his dream and knows Swerve won't hesitate either.

Swerve said he had to listen to Will tell him it was Adam Page's time last year to become champ. He asks where Page is now. He says everything they did was for nothing. They then bleep out what Swerve said next. Swerve says he's done stepping aside for others over opportunities he deserved. He says he's not letting it happen. 

Swerve says it's fireworks every time him and Will fight and it will be so at Forbidden Door. He says one thing is certain - Swerve being victorious over Will. 

He says Will hasn't beaten him in 10 years. He says he will beat him again and again. He says Will and his fragile neck aren't better than him. Will then drops him with a shot. Nana gives Swerve a chain. 

The Death Riders come out. Swerve says Will is wrong and he has changed. 

Thoughts: It was a long segment. Some video clips really would have helped to explain all this. Will's comments about his wife were pretty gross and what really made it a problem is that his wife is supposed to be a babyface wrestler here.

Lexy interviews Chris Jericho. CJ challenges Ciampa for Collision and says they should get serious face to face. 

Will Ospreay and Daniel Garcia argue in the back. DG asks what Will will do about being called fragile. Will grabs DG. Mox asks if Will feels in control. Mox says these are just words and words can't hurt you unless they let them. Mox says you use words when you have nothing else. Mox tells Will he's this close and tells him not to lose control and focus. Mox tells him it's just words, DG echo's it and Mox slaps DG.

Kyle says he heard from Tony Khan than if anyone is DQ'd here, they are out of Forbidden Door. Mark says they have 2 more partners to introduce - Konosuke Takeshita. KT says he wants Kyle and hates Okada. Mark says the other partner is Darby Allin. Darby comes in and says they will beat them her and at Forbidden Door. 

Darby Allin, Konosuke Takeshita, Mark Briscoe & The Conglomeration (Kyle O'Reilly, Orange Cassidy & Roderick Strong) vs. Don Callis Family (Andrade El Idolo, Jake Doyle, Kazuchika Okada, Kevin Knight & Kyle Fletcher) & MJF 

Kyle O'Reilly = KOR, KF = Kyle Fletcher, KT = Konosuke Takeshita 

Mark hits punches on Idolo. Mark flying forearms Idolo. Idolo pushes Mark back first into the apron. Idolo flirts with a girl at ringside. Mark dropkicks Idolo through the ropes.

Mark hits a jay driller on MJF. Don Callis distracts the ref. MJF pulls Strong down by the arm and taps him out quick with an armbar.

Thoughts: I don't know why this happened since these guys are all fighting in a cage match at Forbidden Door. The finish was a bit sudden here and didn't really fit this. It was alright otherwise. I was surprised Idolo didn't get DQ'd here so then he wouldn't have to wrestle at Forbidden Door. 

The heels beat up the faces after. MJF and Idolo argue. MJF hits Mark with the Dynamite Diamond Ring. 
The heels pose to close the show.

Overall thoughts: They were mostly stretching things out here to fill up time and most of the matches/segments went long here. I thought AEW reverted back to a lot of their old problems during this show. Kenny Omega had an awful promo after his match to hype up his match with Zack Sabre Jr. at Forbidden Door. The Death Riders and Brodido had some silly moments in their match and The Death Riders were back to being heels here after being faces last week. I liked the Dogs vs Cope/Cage segment. Thekla cut a gross promo about how she's going to take a dump in Starlight Kid's mask then she made fart sounds. Mone/Hazuki got a lot of time and it was an okay bout. We had a longer Swerve/Ospreay segment where Will talked about having intercourse with his wife (which I didn't want to hear about and made Alex Windsor look bad) and where many old things were brought up that hadn't been seen or mentioned ever in some cases. The main was fine, but they basically gave us the main event (without the cage) of Forbidden Door for free on TV about 2 weeks before it will happen and I don't know why. Forbidden Door is always a problem build wise because it's mostly random matches and wrestlers and despite less non-AEW wrestlers coming in this year for it, the problems mostly remain the same. I'd give this a 4 out of 10. This was not good, it was embarrassing at times and they did a poor job of building up Forbidden Door here.

WWE Evolve 6/17/2026

WWE Evolve 6/17/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/wwe-evolve-6102026.html

Note - Masyn Holiday quit WWE today. I didn't see a lot in her as she wasn't that great at anything, though she wasn't awful. This brand is running low on girls though after that big firing spree earlier in the year.

Blake Howard and Peter Rosenberg are on commentary.

Timothy Thatcher is in his office. He says it's Succession 3 in one week. He says it's Kam/Harley vs Dar/Moreno tonight in the main and he runs down the rest of the card. Wendy Choo comes in. She wants to sign her Succession contract and does. Choo says Nikkita is a lion she can't tame and it ends at Succession. She says she has her eyes on Rune vs Zena tonight and says Anya will win tonight. Tim says we will have to see who wins.

We see someone named KevOnStage arrive and look at the Performance Center.

Elijah Holyfield vs Brooks Jensen

They lock up and BJ backs him up on the ropes. BJ face shoves him and Eli punches him in the gut. Eli drops him with a gut shot. BJ side headlocks him then shoulders him over. BJ knees him in the gut and clubs him. BJ hits forearms.

Eli hits punches and drops BJ. Eli is pulled throat first into the 2nd rope. BJ shining wizards him. BJ hits crossface shots then back elbows him for 2. BJ chinlocks him. BJ hits punches.

BJ faceshoves him and forearms him. Eli shoulders him over then flying shoulders him. Eli hits corner lariats. BJ pulls a turnbuckle pad off and Eli spinebusters him. Eli hits mounted corner punches. BJ pulls him down face first on the exposed buckle and pins him.

Thoughts: It was mostly punches. The punches looked fine though. The finish was a little weak in a land where canadian destroyers are kicked out of though. Eli's going to run into the problem all boxer types run into in wrestling - punches are what most people do for offense and it's hard to make the big punch at the end look special when he punched the guy 20 times already. This needed more time.

Chazz "Starboy" Hall vs Tristan Angels

TA knees him in the gut. Star flips out of a snapmare then armdrags him. Star walks up the buckles and corkscrew diving armdrags him. Star dropkicks him in the corner. Star flips out of a monkey flip. 

TA double throat thrusts him. Star sits up top and TA step up knees him. TA bangs Star's face off the mat and buckles. Star hits shots to the gut. Star upkicks him then he gets dropped throat first on the top rope. TA lariats him.

TA chinlocks him. Star jawbreakers him. TA blocks a sunset flip. Star 2nd rope diving lariats him. Star hits a standing shiranui. Star standing corkscrew moonsaults him for 2. Star hurricanrana's TA over the top. Star asai moonsaults him outside.

Star gets a 2 count on him inside. Star's head is banged off the post. TA deadlift superplexes him in for 2. Star ddt's him off a powerbomb attempt. Star misses a top rope ssp. TA has him in the powerbomb position and flips him on his chest. TA does a knee curbstomp and wins.

Thoughts: It was fine. They had the idea right with Star doing his flying as the underdog and TA doing basic heel offense.

Tristan is asked what's next by Chuey Martinez. TA says he just extinguished Starboy's light. He says he is the example of success and over-accomplishment. He says he's the definition of excellence and class and says it's another ballgame when he steps into the picture.

Zena Sterling talks. She says she's so excited to be back here. She says it's been a long journey and says the world will see the best of her.

Anya Rune does an inset promo. She says she didn't fair well the last time she competed. She says she has to stay determined and will prove herself and make everyone notice her in everyone's favorite anime.

Zena Sterling vs Anya Rune

AR wristlocks her. Zena takes her down for 1 and armlocks her. AR headscissors her on the mat. AR flips her by the arm and sliding euros her in the back of the neck. AR back elbows her otu of the corner.

AR goes up top and slips and falls down on purpose. Zena stomps on her and elbow drops her. Zena suplexes her. AR cradles her for 2. They double clothesline each other down. 

They trade shots. AR knees her in the face and punches her. AR running corner euros her and high kicks her. AR makes Zena clothesline herself with her own arm. AR tries to go up top but slips again. she then knocks off the exposed buckle on accident. AR crossbodies her. Zena spots the exposed buckle and sends AR into it. Zena fireman's carry side slams her and wins.

Thoughts: Zena had an almost army like outfit on and was definitely more of a heel while AR was the face. This was all about AR trying to go up top and slipping when she tried. Them re-using the exposed buckle from earlier was clever. This was something different, but it was probably average.

Gianna Capri comes in the ring after. She yells at Rune and says she doesn't belong here. She says she's embarrassing her. Layla Diggs and Masyn Holiday come out. Gianna tries a cheap shot on Rune but Diggs and Masyn block her.

We see a taped interview between Blake Howard and Harlem Lewis. Lewis is hitting the heavy bag and said he considered going pro. Lewis says he's one week away from being cleared after Braxton Cole's chairshots. He says Blake is walking into a minefield. He says he was afraid he might be done with wrestling. Lewis says he did have to mop floors before and says he has to make it in WWE for his family. He says he needs the Evolve Title to make it to NXT, Raw, SD and Mania. He says Cole is an entitled trust fund baby. He says he wants Cole in a No DQ match when he is cleared. Blake asks for boxing stories and we cut away. 

Timothy Thatcher has Nikkita Lyons sign her contract for the match with Choo. Lyons is with Sloane Jacobs. She says Choo inspired her to be nothing like her. She says it's written in the stars for her to be the most gifted Evolve champ. KevOnStage walks in and puts over Tim's wrestling career. Kev asks if they watch his shows. Sloane says Kevin should get tips from Lyons on going viral. Kev tells her to focus on Wendy Choo and says not to cheat. Sloane says Lyons doesn't need his advice. The girls leave. Tim says he has a scouting trip in 2 weeks and asks Kev to be a Guest GM. Kev agrees and says he wants a No DQ Match between Braxton Cole and Harlem Lewis on that show.

2 new wrestlers will arrive next week and they imply it'll be a male and a woman.

Kam Hendrix and Harley Riggins vs Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno

We go to break and return. Kam knee breakers RM then rolls into a lariat on him for 2. RM's tag is blocked and HR forearms him in the spine. Dar is hot tagged in. He hits flying forearms on Kam and high kicks him.

Dar hits forearms on Kam and Kam spinebusters him. HR spears RM for 2. HR grabs a trash can outside. Tate Wilder comes out and takes it from him. Har misses a whisper in the wind. Har takes a spinning back elbow + legsweep combo and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was kind of fun. Dar's offense looked good and Kam had a good showing. I didn't expect much out of this but it worked out.

Chuey Martinez is there for the contract signing backstage with Max Abrams and Aaron Rourke. AR says WWE ID was made to give them the resources to success and he's happy to be part of the first class. He says he became a great wrestler because of it. Max laughs. AR says Max knocked the title out of his hands and he should have seen who he was then. Max says everything he does is calculated. He asks if AR remembers when Sean Legacy snubbed him in his goodbye speech where he didn't mention him. AR says it was hilarious. 

Max says he took it personally. Max says there's nobody in his league but The Vanity Project, and they are in NXT. He calls everyone else a charity project. AR says it's all about making history with his title. Max says his history will be when people ask who Max beat to become the Evolve champ. Max says AR's family says they are proud of him but they know he's a joke. AR gets mad, they get in each other's faces and security breaks it up. Max slaps him on the head and the show ends as we go to like a test screen.

Thoughts: It was a decent segment. The 2 things Max brought up were cool callbacks and did feel like teases towards something else. 

Overall thoughts: It was the usual Evolve. There was nothing great but nothing awful either. Elijah/Jensen had some good punches but it needed more time. Hall/Angels was fine. Zena/Rune was something different but still average. The main was okay and the segment to close the show wasn't bad. I'd give this a slight 6 out of 10 as they wrestling and non-wrestling segments were alright enough to make this a decent show.
