EPW Wrestling Unleashed 9/26/2026 Episode #261

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/epw-wrestling-unleashed-9192026-episode.html

Gene Jackson and Joey Gross are on commentary.

Sara Blake interviews Raven Black. She says nobody cares about Nyxx. She says Nyxx wants more of her. She says she does whatever it takes to win and says since Nyxx wants to go to school so bad, she has a lesson for her.

The hosts hype up the show.

EPW Women's Title - Raven Black (c) vs Nyxx

Nyxx thesz presses her and hits mounted shots. Rav turns it around and they trade mounted shots. Nyx throws her and samoan drops her for 2. Nyxx misses a corner splash and takes punches. Rav lariats her down and legdrops her for 2. 

We go to break and return. Rav headbutts her and Rav goes out. Nyxx bangs Rav's head off the apron and hits forearms on her outside. Rav then bangs Nyxx's head off the apron. Nyxx rams her back into the apron edge then Nyxx is sent into the post.

The ref yells at Rav. Rav shoves and punches the ref. Rav is DQ'd.

Thoughts: We didn't get a ton of this before it ended here. It was mostly brawling, though it should have been so they got that right.

Rav grabs a stick at swings it at Nyxx. Nyxx avoids it and bangs Rav's head off the apron. Nyxx grab a chair and officials try to break it up. The girls end up fighting and the official try to break it up. Rav grabs a crutch and officials separate them.

CJ Thomas vs Ty Miller

They talk trash and CJ piefaces him. Ty slaps him. Ty then drop down punches him when he covers up. Ty kips up and dropkicks him. Ty standing ssp's him for 2. Ty corner splashes him and CJ runnin euros him in the corner. CJ corner spears him then does a belly to belly suplex for 2. 

CJ suplexes him for 1. CJ chokes him with a headband. Ty hits shots to the gut and CJ chokes him with it again. CJ chokes him while doing push up's.

Ty lariats him and jumping flatliners him for 2. The ref takes CJ's headband from him. CJ then low blows Ty and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a little longer than I expected and I kind of figured CJ would win here as Ty got most of his offense in early. They did kind of lose the pace a little after starting good though. I thought it was average to acceptable and just needed to be sped a up a bit.

The hosts say The Purge is coming on 10/3, which is a Halloween show.

Aaron Roberts and Moses Cain vs The Order (Elijah Owens and Izzy Rotten)

Hollywood Jimmy is with The Order.

Eli runs at MC and is lariated down. MC hits gut shots on him in the corner. MC corner splashes him then lariats him down. MC slams him then gives him a big boot.

MC splashes Eli for 2. MC spinebusters Eli and AR splashes Eli for 2. We go to break and return. AR kind of trips and Eli stomps on AR's injured ankle. Izzy then stands on the ankle as well.

Izzy eye rakes MC. Hollywood Jimmy tries to give Izzy his cane. Marko Harris comes down and stops Jimmy from doing that. AR corner splashes Izzy. Izzy takes a black hole slam from MC and pins him.

Thoughts: It was an okay tag match here. Cain was an okay face again. The story made sense with the heels working AR's ankle and MC getting the hot tag in to save the match for his team.

Dorian Vain then comes out to argue with the faces from the outside.

Last Man Standing Match - Wonder Boy vs Mike Anthony

They stare down and Mike asks WB if he can do it. WB claymore kicks him to start. WB misses a claymore kick. Mike brainbusters him.

Mike suplexes WB on the floor. Mike pins WB under the ring steps. WB gets up and threatens to throw them at Mike. Mike tells him to do it. WB throws the steps and misses. They trade shots in the ring. WB forearms him down. Mike back body drops WB and holds on. Mike talks into the camera and WB claymore kicks him. WB hits another claymore kick. WB then hits a 3rd claymore kick. Mike gets up onto his knees and WB claymore kicks him from behind. Mike can't beat then 10 count up and WB wins.

Thoughts: They sold and it felt like they both took their shares of hard bumps here. They did everything right on paper, just Wonder Boy isn't a real fiery face and it hurt what they were doing a little. I'd love to know what the camera cut was for. I imagine it was just some kind of technical issue, but the possibilities really are endless. They ran with the story here of Mike trying to get Wonder Boy to get mean. Mike egged him on all match and Wonder Boy was a little more cut throat than usual. The pace could have been a little faster at times here, but these types of matches are a bit slower by design. It was an okay main and they did put some thought into this.

Overall thoughts: There wasn't much to the opener. CJ Thomas vs Ty Miler was acceptable. I thought Moses Cain's tag was an okay bout and they did a good job of selling AR's injured ankle. The main was okay. They roughed each other up some and did check most of the boxes their match should have checked. It was okay but not quite the classic they designed. I'd give it a 6 out of 10. It was a good show overall.

CHIKARA 5/1/2020 Action Arcade #6

CHIKARA 5/1/2020 Action Arcade #6

Razerhawk does a promo. He says Dasher Hatfield pinned Dangerhawk 2 weeks ago and says he's at a loss for words. He says he can't do this and he hates interviews. He says everything he hates about these interviews is what he hates about Dasher. He says Dasher only cares about himself and not the young talent. He says his niece blinded him and says this match will be an asterisk when he pins the champ and wins the belt.

Thoughts: I didn't like it so much. Dan should have been DQ'd for using the flip flop. It wasn't real serious either.

Special Report: Cibernetico

Ophidian does a promo. He says he wants Devontez on his team as the anchor for the cibernetico. Mike Quackenbush says Devontez is a fine anchor and he is choosing Zero as his anchor. 

Boomer Hatfield does a promo. He says he wants to take his 38 cents and buy gum, but he says Sonny DeFarge needs it to buy soap or socks. He says Sonny mentioned his dad and he needs to step far away or they will have a real problem.

We get a fake ad for an ice cream bar.

Various wrestlers talk about who inspired them. 

We get a video on The Young Lions Cup.

OP goes to high five Zero. Zero michinoku drivers him on his chest. Zero then pins him.

Thoughts: I didn't like this one. I couldn't buy Rama beating up all the guys. OP acts like he's special needs and it's a shame because he's actually quite athletic. Zero hit a nasty lariat from behind here.

The Scoreboard

Note - You need to have 3 points to get a title shot, so this is like a rankings update.

Cabana Man Dan has 1 point and joins Sonny DeFarge, Boomer Hatfield and The Spoiler. The Spoiler says he's on the board and talks about possible opponents. He writes them all off and makes raspberry sounds as he names them. 

Matt Makowski, Ophidian and The Whisper are also on the scoreboard. The Whisper says he keeps hearing people question him about how he could be with The Crucible. He says everything he does is with calculated precision. He says this is only the beginning. He says he learned that superiority sometimes gets the better of you.

Lucas Calhoun has 2 points and is on top of the scoreboard. He does a promo. He says he heard Travis Huckabee say he would get run over. He shows off his medal signifying his 2 points. He says he thinks the 3rd point will be the easiest to get. He says he has all the moment going forward and with one more point, it's Grand Championship time.

Ophidian does a promo. He says he's on a path to the Grand Championship and no one can stop him. He says failure won't be tolerated and doing so again will result in dire consequences.

Thoughts: It wasn't good. Almost everything they did looked like play wrestling here.

Event Center

Green Ant does a video. He says he's not the first Green Ant to wrestle in Chikara. He says he pressed the right people and they thought he had enough drive and heart. He says his success in training didn't translate to the main roster. He says he never had a Grand Championship shot and lost in the opening round of The Young Lions Cup. He says if he can win The Young Lions Cup this year, he might not be the right ant for this job.

Sonny DeFarge does a promo. He asks what Boomer has done. 

Masked Enforcer #2 does a promo. He says we may not know who he is. He says they may think he's the guy who screams at The Spoiler and gets thrown out. He says he is the Masked Enforce #2. He says it's been a while since he's been in the ring. He says he doesn't like The Spoiler billing himself as The Spoiler. He says he won't steal someone else's good name. He says he doesn't like The Spoiler, but he learned to respect him. He says nothing gets him madder than disrespect. He says he's coming after The Spoiler. He says he will learn respect.

Dasher Hatfield does a video. He says wrestling for the people got him nowhere and he accomplished more wrestling for himself. We then see clips of his recent activity.

Thoughts: It was the best match on here but that doesn't say that much. The action was fine here and they kept it moving. Razer did a decent job flying and Dasher acted as the base for him. That wasn't bad.

A masked wrestler covered in blood then talks. He says it's time to live his dream. He then shows off a newer costume.

Overall thoughts: This was terrible. Everyone on this show came off like they were special needs and everything they did this felt like an ironic callback to comics or 80's WWF. I'm sure everything here made sense to someone and I'm sure a lot of thought was put into it, but if you hadn't watched for years, you would not understand it...nor would you care to. 

And it's a shame. This was well produced. They had nice graphics and a nice set. All the Chess pieces were aligned neatly on the board...but it was a Scrabble board, not a Chess board. This was way too meta and no one on this has any business doing wrestling. I'd give this 2 out of 10. They totally missed the forest for its trees here. The main was the only thing that really resembled an acceptable match here.

WWE Evolve 10/7/2026

WWE Evolve 10/7/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/wwe-evolve-9302026.html

Note - WWE Main Event is moving to Wednesdays at 8PM which is the same time this show airs. I have to think they will be moving this show too. 

We are at the Performance Center in Orlando, FL. Robert Stone and Blake Howard are on commentary.

Harlem Lewis talks outside the Performance Center. He says Harley Riggins is one week away from the big dance. He says he will hold the title one day, but after he's done. 

Harley Riggins says he will see him tonight and says his dream of taking the Evolve Title dies next week. He says he's "The Big Rig" and he'll cool him off and take the title.

The hosts talk outside the ring. 

Marcus Mathers comes out to talk. He says if he has something to say, he will say it. He says he's sick of being the good indy wrestler waiting for an opportunity. He says Cutler James injured Sam Halloway and says Elijah Holyfield knocked him out for no reason. He says he's not scared of him, Cutler James or Darkstate. Cutler James then comes out.

Marcus Mathers vs Cutler James

Thoughts: It was acceptable. CJ threw him around and MM threw him around. Holyfield chasing Cole was a bit random here. CJ's found his role as a power guy...and it took long enough. 

Veronica Haven vs Anya Rune

Both of these girls are gone from WWE already. 

Haven takes her down and cutters her. Haven running knees her for 2. Haven pulls AR's arms back. AR forearms her. AR running euros her in the corner. AR low diving forearms her. AR then does a hadouken (with special graphics). AR then pushes her down from the reverse ddt position and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a bit hard to get into it since both girls are fired and this means nothing. They didn't get a ton of time and a lot of the talk was about Anya's anime powers.

Sloane Jacobs and Nikkita Lyons then jump Rune. Lyons hits mounted shots on her. Lyons grabs a trash can and dumps it on her head. Lyons then spin kicks the trash can while it's on Rune's head.

 Lyons then gets on the mic. She agrees to a last woman standing match with Wendy Choo. She says she will stand over her body and shake her @ss.

PJ Vasa, who is also now fired, then looks at the tv in the back and says, "try it with me".

AJ styles talks to Nathan Frazer and Conan Lycan. AJ tells Conan he's being offered a WWE ID contract. Conan says let's do it and he's ready to go. Conan says he's been dreaming about this and he's ready to kick the door in. He says Evolve has made 3 champs in NXT and he will be the 4th.

Thoughts: I saw Conan on TNA Xplosion once and thought he looked like a prospect. WWE apparently agrees.

The Mog Squad talk in the back. CJ Valor says he's not skipping arm day for a match Max shouldn't have to do. Max says it doesn't matter who he will wrestler tonight as he will MME max, life max and win max. He says Thatcher thinks he owns them but they own Thatcher.

Cappuccino Jones is interviewed by the now fired Adriana Rizzo. Jones says his mystery opponent doesn't matter as when he is clear, he is putting pressure on The Mog Squad. He says he's not cleared to wrestle yet but says the clock is kicking. He says when he is cleared, he's calling Chazz Hall as he wants Santi and Jacari Ball.

Aaron Rourke vs Kale Dixon

Alix Brooks is with Kale Dixon.

KD lariats him then slams him twice. AR rams him in the corner and hits corner spears. KD euros him and AR superkicks him. AR hits running euros in the corner. Alix trips AR and KD nails AR from behind. Alix then chokes AR with a towel. The ref sees it and Kale is DQ'd.

Thoughts: It was very short and we didn't get much before it ended.

Kale chairs AR after.

Wendy Choo, who is also now fired, does a sit down interview with Blake Howard. Choo says she thought she would accomplish more as champ. She says it was all taken away when she was getting going. She says she's not mad about losing the title, just mad at how she lost it. She says Lyons stole the title from her and didn't have the strength to beat her with integrity. She says that's why she haunts her. She says she will play fire with fire and said Lyons forgot about her being in various gimmick matches. She says she will take what's hers. 

Laynie Luck does a video. She says she's excited to be on Evolve. She says she wrestled at rundown bars and shows at fairs. Vanta The Unknown talks but it's hard to hear what she's saying. She says Luck will fight the clock and the clock has never lost.

The Mog Squad talks in the back. Max says he doesn't know if he can wrestle and says his doctor told him he should take some time off. He then gets CJ Valor to take the match instead.

CJ Valor vs Jasper Troy

Troy is the mystery opponent here. As you may have guessed...he has also been fired recently.

CJ ducks a lock up and hides between the ropes. CJ shoves him from behind. JT short arm shoulderblocks him. JT elbows his arm. JT lifts him up by one arm and puts him down. JT splashes him for 2. CJ clips him then boots him in the head. 

CJ foot chokes him in the corner. CJ hits punches on him. JT shoulders him over. CJ double boots him out of the corner. JT swinging uranage's him. CJ dropkicks him outside. CJ flying shoulders him off the apron.

We go to break and return. JT gets booted as he comes in. CJ stomps him and elbow drops him. CJ flying shoulders him and hits mounted shots on him. JT then hits mounted shots. JT hiptosses him then hits double sledgehammer shots. JT corner splashes him then powerslams him for 2.

CJ goes for an armbar and JT tries a pin on him. CJ eye rakes him then hits a chaos theory on him. CJ running spears him for 2. JT sitout chokeslams him. JT black hole slams him and pins him.

Thoughts: I didn't like it that much. Troy was too big for CJ and CJ couldn't do good looking offense on him. It lead to some clunky and slow moments. It also went a little longer than it needed to.

Aaron Rourke talks in the back. He says he hopes it wasn't Kale Dixon's best shot as he won't survive the hell he rains down on him.

Harlem Lewis and Harley Riggins then fight into the arena. HR takes him down. Guards try to stop it and get beaten up. They fight in the ring. Riggins low blows Lewis. He then lifts him into a knee to the face. Riggins then holds Lewis' title up as refs try to stop him..

Overall thoughts: Mathers/Cutler was the best match on here. Anya Rune's and Kale Dixon's matches were too short to be much. CJ Valor's match with Jasper Troy wasn't that good either as Troy was too big for CJ. It was a tough show to get into as half the people on it are already fired, so little really mattered here. I didn't think they did a good job of building up Succession at all here either. I'd give this a 4 out of 10. It wasn't that good overall.

WWE NXT 10/6/2026

WWE NXT 10/6/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/wwe-nxt-9292026.html

We are in the Performance Center in Orlando, FL. Vic Joseph and Booker T are on commentary.

We get a new intro song for the show and it's awful.

The Birthright talk backstage. Grace says they will take over every division. King says he will handle the Zilla Fatu problem. He says he told him your with us or against us and he will live with his choice.

Zilla Fatu talks. He says he's not worried about his last name. He says he will be called the main one when he whips his opponent's @ss.

Fatu forearms King down. Fatu lariats him and hits mounted corner headbutts. King's Birthright buddies pull him out. Fatu then top rope plancha's them all. Fatu goes to get in and the heels trip him and distract the ref. King kicks the middle rope into Fatu's crotch then dropkicks him through the ropes.

Dempsey is knocked off the apron. King superkicks Fatu and Fatu no sells it. Fatu twisting half-nelson drops him. Fatu flying samoan spikes him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. The heels cheated and Fatu fought through it and won. It was nothing groundbreaking but it made enough sense.

Fatu gets jumped by Birthright after. Dempsey hits Fatu in the gut and back with a chair. Fatu is sent into the steps. Fatu then has the top step dropped on his hand while his hand is against the bottom step. Refs then come to check on his hand.

Kelani Jordan is interviewed. She says there's 20 women desperate to prove they belong in the ring with her. Chantel Monroe interrupts. She says she will prove she is 1 of 1 when she takes her title. Layla Diggs then comes in. She says she won her title shot and then got injured and lost it. Diggs says she will win the battle royal. KJ says there will be a moment made but it will be made by her.

Dion Lennox does a video. He says Cruz Montana's story is powerful and he can see why people like him as he spoke from the heart. He says Cruz bailed himself through a situation he put himself in and he's not impressed. Dion says he used his past to build a machine that never runs out of gas. He says he wasn't dealt a better hand but built a better life. He says his parent gave him the tools to succeed. Dion says living up to expectations and making the right decision is right. He says sometimes he wanted to party and be a loser like him but he didn't. He says Cruz is being patted on the bat for finally making the right decision. He says his story doesn't bring people to tears like his. He says it took him 2 years to get to NXT and it took Cruz 20. He says Cruz beat his addiction but didn't beat him. He says he will send him to a dark place and see if he can pull himself out of the hole again.

Thoughts: Dion's segments have been good, though they are not exactly segments you'd boo the heel for.

Cruz Montana and Lizzy Rain talk. Cruz says Rain has a big opportunity tonight and tells him to show it down. Xia Brookside walks in and asks if he's supporting her. She says he has really changed. Cruz says, "I've changed?".

Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic First Round - Hank and Tank (Hank Walker and Tank Ledger) vs Shido Ash and Viktor Zanov)

Ash and Vik do an inset promo. Ash says to remember their names. Vik says they are judo olympians where if you make one mistake, you lose. Ash says they've been breaking each other for years and says to imagine what happens if they stop breaking each other and break opponents.

Ash rolls Hank and guillotines him in mid-air. Ash rolling hip throws him. Vik rams Tank in the corner. Tank face kicks him. Vik hip throws Tank. Ash sling blades Hank.

Thoughts: I liked it and it was a good match. Ash and Zanov had their best showing yet. It was a hoss match here. Hank and Tank were on fire and set up a nice pace. It was full of action and made everyone look good.

Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux are down in the back and Birthright has attacked them. They say if you mess with Birthright, they will leave their mark.

Grayson Waller comes out to talk. GW says he's still the champ and says last week was what he wanted and needed. He says the old GW would have freaked out but he buried that brother with the boxing shorts and Hawaiian shirts. He says he fights for titles now. He says he knows Stone was trying to get him to freak out with the open challenge but that's why he's back here. He says EK Prosper came out first for the open challenge so he fought him. 

GW says EK crushed it in his first match. He says he got The Grayson Waller Rub and he's welcome. He says EK will hold the title one day but as long as it's around his waist, there isn't a man who can take it from him. He says he wants to restore the importance of the NXT Title. He ask who will step up next.

Myles Borne comes out. He says he's doing what's best for him. He says he deserves to be a champ and will go after the one title he hasn't held yet without the dead weight of Tavion. He says what he did to Tavion shows what he's capable of. He says he learned the only way to the top is to be selfish and unbreakable like GW. GW says finally someone is listening to him and it's what he likes to see.

Tony D'Angelo comes out. He says Myles can take his new attitude and test it on someone else and he has unfinished business. Waller says he didn't come out last week and where was he? Tony says GW didn't change and would have complained if he came out. Borne says this isn't about him and Tony tells him he's talking now. Tony says GW has his title and he takes it personally. GW says Tony and Borne should fight and the winner can get The Grayson Waller Rub.  Borne gets up in GW's face and punches out Tony with what they say was a loaded fist.

William Regal talks to EK Prosper. Regal asks why he's down. EK says he stepped up to Waller last week and fumbled. Regal says he has SD/Raw superstar and world champ written on him. Regal tells him not to put himself down. 

Robert Stone walks past and Regal talks to him. Stone says he's now scrambling to get replacements for DVD and Sean Legacy. Regal says no one knows more about that him. Regal says King and Dempsey were never put in the tournament. Regal puts his hand on him and says sometimes you have to make quick decisions. He says he doesn't see how he has anyone but King and Dempsey. Stone agrees and Regal says he knew he was the right man for the job. 

Naraku vs Shiloh Hill

They lock up and let go. Nar knees him in the gut and tries to throw him out but Hill skins the cat in. Hill slams him twice. Hill side headlock takeovers him. Nar headscissors him and Hill side headlocks him. Hill flying shoulders him.

Nar backdrops Hill. Nar neckbreakers him for 2. Nar side headlocks him. Nar throws Hill down backwards. Nar running forearms him. Hill tiger feint forearms him under the bottom rope outside.

Hill hits shots on Nar and running boots him. Hill pop up drops him then hits mounted shots. Hill standing inverted flip dives him for 2. Nar tries to mist him and is blocked. Hill then ducks and Nar mists the ref. The ref DQ's Nar.

Thoughts: It was slightly acceptable. They didn't do anything wrong but it wasn't anything too great work wise. It was better than it could have been.

People come out to break the fight up after and the ref is checked on.

Kendal Grey talks to the psychologist again. She says she should be in the battle royal tonight and blames herself for the injury. She says she injured herself vs Lola and fought Kelani when injured. Grey says all she can ever think about is the one time she does something wrong. She says people don't see her sitting alone and analyzing mistakes.  She says you stop learning how to celebrate and be proud of yourself. She says she's her own biggest opponent. She said she thought she would hate these therapy sessions but she doesn't. The psychologist says this is a good place to stop with these and says his door is always open.

Thoughts: I haven't liked these segments and I hope this is the last one. There aren't working.

Thoughts: I liked this a lot more than I thought. Takuma got some shine here to get over and he did. This worked out well and definitely was a success. Tokyo Bad Boys needed to show up big here and they did. This was good.

CD gets on Vic Joseph's mic after and says everyone will realize you don't step up to Birthright.

Myles Borne is in the back and says he's just leveling up to where he belongs. He says he will take out Tony then he will see Waller for the NXT Title.

NXT Women's Title #1 Contender's Battle Royal

Everyone fights to start. La Catalina ends up on the apron from M By Elegance. Izzi Dame throws Layla Diggs. I don't know if Diggs was supposed to go out as she was trying to skin the cat. Zaria throws Izzi Dame out right after.  Officials/Guard try to remove Dame but she beats them up. Dame is carried out.

Skylar Rae is laid on the top rope by Reina Volcan. Adelicious stops that, but Vic Joseph messes up and thinks she's Lady Shani. Ade and Sky's heads are banged together. Thea Hail tries to dump Kiana James over the top. Ade headscissors Sky on the apron. Reina Volcan double lariats both.

We go to break and return. Reina gorilla presses Heather By Elegance. Ivy Nile sent Chantel Monroe out during the break. Arianna Grace forearms Reina in the back. Grace tries to hug M and Heather By Elegance. She wants to work with them but they dump her out. Thea then sends both M and Heather By Elegance out. Thea dances.

Thea boots Diggs. Lizzy Rain chops Nikita Lyons and Zaria in the corner. Rain suplexes Zaria. Rain pulls Lyons' leg down over the bottom rope. Reina throws a group of girls off of her. Rain tries to german Ivy off the apron. Rain headbutts Ivy off the apron. Reina is group eliminated.

Reina powerslams Ade on the floor. We go to PiP break and return. Rain springboard back elbows Zaria. Zaria throws Rain over the top. Zaria spinning lariats Kiana. Zaria and Indi Hartwell bump into each other. They both hit pump kicks and stare down. Zaria hits a double spear on Thea and Xia Brookside. Zaria F-5's La Catalina. Izzi Dame comes back in, goes after Zaria and is thrown out again.

Zaria is on the ropes yelling at Izzi. Kali Armstrong sends Zaria out. Zaria and Izzi fight outside. Xia boots Indi out of the corner. Indi throws Xia out. Xia then grabs her by the hair and pulls her out. Those two fight outside.

The final 5 are Kiana, Thea, Kali, La Catalina and Lizzy Rain. Kiana and Thea fight on the apron. Kiana knocks Thea off the apron for the elimination. Kali spinebusters Rain. Catalina top rope double dropkicks Kiana and Kali. Catalina hits corner hip attacks on 3 girls. Kali dumps Cat to the apron and Cat seems to get eliminated when she's not supposed to. 

Kiana corner spears Kali and Rain flying headbutts Kiana. Kali powerslams Rain. Kali spears Kiana off the apron. Rain cutters Kali. Rain and Kali end up hanging from the top rope when Rain lariats her. Rain pulls Kali's head into the post. Rain runs at her with a headbutt but Kali knees her in the face. Lady Shani then comes in and throws out Kali...but it's Wren Sinclair under the mask. Wren then wins.

Thoughts: There was a very big screw up here. Adelicious was in the battle royal, not Lady Shani. Vic Joseph kept calling her Lady Shani. That was bad on its own, but what was a bigger problem was that the finish had "Lady Shani" throw Kali Armstrong out to win. The problem was that Shani was just Wren Sinclair in disguise (Wren Sinclair was suspended so she couldn't be in this). I think at least 2 girls here got eliminated on accident with La Catalina being one of them. It was cool to see all the girls from different brands go at it, but it was a battle royal so the quality was limited and they messed up the finish. That brought this down.

Kelani Jordan is on the riser and Wren stares her down after.

Overall thoughts: King/Fatu was acceptable. Hank and Tank's tag match was good. Hill/Naraku was acceptable. Birthright vs Tokyo Bad Boys was also good with Takuma standing out. It was nice to see various outsiders in the battle royal and it made it feel more important. But there were some sloppy moments there and Vic Joseph made some major commentary errors during this as he confused Adelicious and Lady Shani. Waller had a good night here in his segments. I'll give the show a 7 out of 10 as it was a good show overall.

We join this in progress. Bryan boots Wil in the corner then flapjacks him for 2. Bryan legdrops him for 2. Bryan crossbodies him for 2. Bryan epxloders him for 2. Bryan hits headbutts. They forearm each other and Bryan drops him. Bryan foot chokes him and chinlocks him. Wil fights out of the hold and chops him. Wil zig zag's him. 

We go to break.

Wilfredo Rivera does a promo. He says our biggest defeats teach us the most important lessons. He says he learned a lot from the last event. He says everything he learned in his match with Bryan made him better. He says he's still a winner in his mind. He says at Aguadilla Mania, he will face Lou Forza, who he considers a winner. He says Lou is one of the promising wrestlers in PR. He asks him to leave Amaddeo Sole in the locker room though. 

Orly Jr. says he knows Informante's weaknesses. He says Info thinks he can do whatever he wants in Aguadilla, but that's not the case. He says he's ready. Tapia then then talks and says he wants Brandon The Skater to bring it all and says they don't back down.

Amaddeo Sole does a promo. He says the competition is coming in the tag division and he's been seeking it. He says him and Forza are the only two names he thinks of when talking about the tag division. He says his match against John Hawking at Aguadilla Mania is a good test for John as John has had setbacks in various losses lately. He says they will face off in Aguadilla for the first time. He says they are the future of this company. He says it's a test to see who is the best among the new blood.

John Hawking does a promo. He says there's highs and lows in lucha. He says he wanted to do things his way in WWC and had a great rise as he became double champ. He says then he had a stop. He says sometimes you have to fall to the bottom to refresh and continue improving. He says he knows who Sole is as and he has studied him. He says Sole is talented but his mouth is his downfall. He says he will instill respect in him and show him why he's the #1 wrestler in PR.

The mayor of Aguadilla invites us to Aguadilla Mania.

We return from break.

Bryan hits punches on Wil. Bryan top rope hurricanrana's him down. Wil rolls up Bryan for 2. Bryan flips him with a running lariat. Bryan AA's him and pins him.

Thoughts: I wasn't too surprised to see Bryan win this. He has lost a bunch of matches and needed something to gain some relevancy at some point and this happened to be it. The title is a low on the totem pole for him, but it's better than nothing. This was average for the most part and Bryan moved a little slow at times.

"La Amenaza" Bryan does a promo. He says it's 1v1 vs Xavant and that's how he likes it. He says few people annoy him in this business but he's one of them. He says he sees his fat face and disgusting cheeks and wants to knock out some of his teeth. He asks what kind of hero he is and says he's the hero nobody asked for. He says nobody likes him or appreciates him and it's time for him to stop with the stupidity of thinking he's Captain America. He says they will end this once and for all and he'll see him on 10/18. He tells him to get it through his head. He says he's ready. This was funny.

Xavant does a promo. He says WWC is headed to Aguadilla. He says the people are hyped and so is he. He says Bryan keeps insulting him and disrespects him. He says Bryan won the TV Title and thinks he's unstoppable but he's facing the captain and you have to respect him. He says he will fight with all his heart and persevere until he triumphs as that's what heroes do.

Handicap Match - El Paparazzi's Retirement Match - Paparazzi and La Sombra vs Los Informantes and Orlando Toledo

We go to break.

Zcion RT1 and Oscar Benabe do a promo. RT1 says Mike Nice is still his son and says Mike and Chicano don't know the trouble they got into. Oscar says he has the greatest wrestler by his side. RT1 says Oscar is the future of the business and says Aguadilla will be a war zone as they are the d@mned revolution.

Chicano does a promo. He says he and Mike Nice face Zcion and Oscar. He says Zcion is getting concerned in things that don't involve him. He says if he stray away, he may lose his title. He says he doesn't understand Eddie Colon and says says they need to put on subtitles for Oscar Benabe's promos as he doesn't understand him.

The mayor of Aguadilla invites us to the Aguadilla Mania show.

We return from break.

Papagives the ref and Sombra double middle fingers. Los Informante stomp on Sombra. Papa then takes his shoes off in the ring and throws them at Sombra. Papa leaves the ring and gives the fans middle fingers. Info top rope elbow drops Sombra. Los Informantes go to pin Sombra but then pull off on the 2 count. Toledo then stomps on Sombra.

"El Hostil" Jovan comes out. An Info slams Sombra and the other Info top rope elbow drops Sombra. Jovan has joined the match as Sombra's partner and wants tagged in. Jovan tags in and htis punches on an Informante. Jovan forearms him and blue thunders him for 2. Jovan then slingshot plancha's Los Informantes outside. 

Sombra ends up in the ring alone with Toledo. Sombra hits punches on Toledo. Sombra superkicks him. Sombra top rope splashes Toledo for 2 when an Info nails the ref. Sombra punches that Info and dropkicks him. Sombra takes a flying knee from behind. Jovan goes for the pin and Toledo lariats him. Toledo then unbuttons his shirt to reveal a ref shirt. Toledo then counts the pin for Informante on Jovan.

Thoughts: I don't know what this was at all. I don't think anyone has ever turned heel in their retirement match before, but that's what Paparazzi did here. Why? I have no idea. It's not like Sombra and him disagreed or anything. Everyone was confused by it and it was one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen. I assume Paparazzi is not retiring, but this match was just strange

Intelecto Cinco Estrellas does a promo. He says Lightning is a legend. He says he tried to communicate with him but it's impossible. He says Lightning's computer is malfunctioning as he tries to put his hands on Orlando Toledo. Cinco says that's why he had to drop him. He says Lightning is the mute that speaks with his fists but he will make him talk when he lands the first punch. He says Lightning isn't even a shadow of what he used to be.

Abel Durant then closes the show. 

Overall thoughts: Rivera/Bryan was average. The other match was just plain bizarre. El Paparazzi was supposed to retire in that match. You'd think he would get the big win, everyone would cheer for him and he'd get the hero's send-off. Instead, he turned heel on his partner for no real reason and flipped off the crowd. That was an all-time bizarre result that I hope I don't see again. We also saw a bunch of promos we saw this yesterday. Yeah, this was the usual WWC show that disappointed. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it. This was below average.

TNA Xplosion 10/2/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/tna-xplosion-9252026.html

Our only new content is:

Mr. Elegance vs Nick Rodriguez

They lock up and Mr pulls him down. Nick side headlocks him and Mr shoulders him over. Mr chokes him in the corner and chops him. Nick chops him. Mr boots him over. Nick flying back elbows him and Mr lariats him from behind.

Thoughts: Mr. Elegance won as expected here. Mr had some weak offense that didn't really hit. Nick didn't get a whole lot of note in. What we got wasn't that good.

Overall thoughts: There was one new match as usual and I didn't like it. Otherwise, it was just recaps and old matches. You can clear out all the new content here in only about 5 minutes, but I still wouldn't recommend this one. This wasn't good.

AEW Dynamite 10/6/2026 Grand Slam France

AEW Dynamite 10/6/2026 Grand Slam France

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/aew-dynamite-9302026-tribute-to-pac.html

Note - This was on a Tuesday and went up against NXT. 

We are in Paris, France. Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness are on commentary.

Thoughts: They should have ended it with the moonsault slam, but it was fine otherwise. Kofi kept Band in check a bit and got some decent wrestling out of him. This was alright and worked out well. This was a bit of a random one. Kofi losing doesn't really hurt him as he's not a singles guy right now anyway.

Will Ospreay and Mike Bailey are interviewed. Will says he lost 11 out of 13 times to Okada. He says Clockwork Carnage is a great opportunity and his creation. Mike says he wants to win that match and won't hold anything back if they fight. Will says he will hold nothing back tonight.

Thoughts: Joe thankfully won here. They had the right idea though Jack's offense was a little hard to buy at times vs the much bigger Joe. This was fine. Joe bled a little from the head here.

Kazuchika Okada does a promo outside at the Arc de Triomphe. He says his English has gotten good he's been told but his French has gotten better. He says he will make history in Paris and they will have to build the Arc Okada when he wins. He says he becomes the new AEW champ tonight.

Thoughts: Big upset with Mark pinning Gabe. I would have bet money on Mox's team winning. It was a hard hitting match with a lot of lariats and it was alright.

Nick Wayne talks Chris Jericho. He says Jericho saw a lot of himself in him. Nick tells him to say that he will be a star and a multi-time champ. Nick says he doesn't respect him, just what he has done. He says when he beats him in France, it will mean he's better than he was then and now.

They hit each other to start. KF hits corner forearms and DA shotgun dropkicks him in the corner. DA's tope is caught and KF lawn darts him into the rails. DA hits forearms on KF and pulls his ears. DA top rope plancha's him over the rail and over a table.

Thoughts: They didn't overdo it too bad but the selling wasn't that good. Darby took a hard brainbuster on the top buckle here that busted him open big time. I was a little surprised to see Kyle lose since he's had a lot of titles lately. It was alright.

The Dogs say The Young Bucks go to war with them in Paris. They say they beat them one and will do it again. The Bucks say they are the tag champs and say to get ready. One of them says, "What's a dog doing?", then he barks.

Queen then gets a 2 count on her inside. Mone uses her knees and drops Queen chest first onto them. Mone then pins her with a money maker.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout and Mone won as expected. Queen mostly stuck to strikes and Mone took some big bumps for her. I liked this and it went well.

Thekla comes out and Mone tries to hit her with the title. Thek spears her. Thek grabs the title and taunts her with it. 

Swerve Strickland and The New Level do a promo. Swerve asks what Pae is doing by getting involved in their matches. Swerve says they beat them at All In and All Out. Swerve says if he wants a rematch they will beat them every single time. Creed wants a 2/3 falls match for the trios titles at Wrestledream.

KO short arm lariats him. 

Will back elbows him then running hidden blades him for 2. Will hits a stormbreaker for 2. Will hidden blades him and pins him.

Thoughts: Will won as expected. It was another okay match here. Okada kept Will in check and didn't do anything too wild. They didn't go all the way out or get as much time as it would have on a PPV, but what we got was more than enough for free TV. 

Mike Bailey comes out for Will. We see Samoa Joe looking on in the aisle. 

Overall thoughts: This oddly only went a few minutes overtime. I was expecting this to go until 10:30PM or so. I had no problem with this at all. Every match was fine here and we got a near PPV level show on TV, which you can't beat. No one went all out like they would on a PPV, but it was more than enough. I would say the main was the match of the night here. It was a good show and probably about as good as you can get on TV wrestling wise. I'd give this an easy 7 out of 10 and I liked it.
