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

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

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

Yade boots Rox outside while Vargas bridges a ladder onto 2 chairs. DL's head is banged off the ladder and Rox's head is banged off the post.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thoughts: It was an okay bout here. Mila and her crew heeled it up. Mama fired up for her comeback and got pinned. There was nothing wrong with this and they did a decent job.

Overall thoughts: We had one new match, one new interview and various recaps and old matches as usual. The new content wasn't anything must see but the new match was alright. I wouldn't recommend it, but there's worse ways to spend 15 minutes I suppose.

He said he liked football as he could crush people. He said he played college football and kicked off the team as he tried the coach. He says you can't control him and NXT can't control him.

Jacy says Sol has been shoved down everyone's throats and says enough is a enough. She says Sol only got a shot at this title because she sacrificed her best friend. She says Sol won't have her best friend or the title with her when they fight. She says she's the best woman in WWE and the most underrated woman in WWE today.

Sol Ruca comes out. She says she agrees and says there is no one more envious of other people than her. She says she may be the champ but she's the same old Jacy Jayne. She mocks her dance. She says she wonders what it would be like if Jacy stopped comparing herself to others. She says she won't let her talk about her friendship with Zaria.

Jacy says she loves this loyalty act and says she has done it. She says she's realizing that to get ahead, you have dump your best friend. She says just as Sol's friendship with Zaria ended, so has her chances of becoming NXT champ. Sol says Zaria doesn't stand in her shadow, but stands on her own. Sol says Jacy wanted this match and Sol says she will become NXT women's champ next week.

Robert Stone comes out. He says we will have a triple threat Speed Title match next week with a 7 minute time limit.

Thoughts: It was a quick match and a bit rushed. They flew all around and it looks like Eli might have landed wrong on his ankle. Stone's ruling was something different and 7 minutes kind of defeats the point of this title.

Shiloh Hill talks to Myles Borne in the back. He asks if Borne can stay out of the match with Page tonight. Borne says he needs to prove him wrong. Borne says he might not stay out of it. Hill gets upset and Borne says he might see a side of him he doesn't like. Officials then break it up as they get close to fighting.

He back body drops Brad on the floor, throws Smokes on the guard rail and throws Drake on the commentary table. Page hits a cutter on Hill on the exposed floor then hits another in the ring to win.

Thoughts: Hill was a bit of a dummy here for going after the heels and falling for their trap. Hill continues to definitely be a different kind of wrestler in the ring and it'll be interesting to see how he ultimately develops. He did an okay job against Page. I like Page's team with The Vanity Project. Page sets the record for most N-A Title defenses.

The heels beat up on Hill. Myles Borne beats up the heels. Hill then tope con hilos The Vanity Project outside. Borne hits mounted shots on Page and tells him to give him his title match. Hill gives Borne a chair. Borne goes to pillmanize the ankle and tells Page not to make him do it. Borne goes to do it then Page agrees to a title match next week. Page says he knew Borne wouldn't do it. Borne then pillmanizes the ankle with the chair. Borne holds the title over him and yells as the officials break it up.

Thoughts: This was a good angle at the end and put over Borne some.

Overall thoughts: It was an okay show. The opener and the 4-way were the best matches on here. The main was okay. Elio/Eli was rushed and Tony's short match was fine. Zaria turning on Sol then forgiving her was a bit weird and I wonder if there will be more to it or not. I like the Page/Vanity Project team and think Saints fits right in with them too. I liked the show as a whole and would give it a 6 out of 10.

The Lost talk. Alex says Aron Stevens' crew thinks they are better than them. Alex says he doesn't want the feud to end. Lev says this is far from over and they don't want to win, they want his soul.

Thoughts: I didn't like Ball and JAC losing here. I guess it's fine if this is a one time thing but if they are going to be regulars, that's not a good move. The match was a decent heavyweight battle as expected.

Tyler Stevens does a promo. He says he made it to the NWA. He says he was in a #1 contender's match in his first match and got a title match in his second match. He says Trevor Murdoch is going to have to see him when he faces him.

The Cazana's talk. Joe calls The Slimeballs greasy, stinky and slimy. He asks how they could beat The Country Gentlemen. AJ says it took both Slimez to pin him and that's not in the rule book.

Thom Latimer says he's finally getting his rematch. He says it was supposed to be him vs Silas before but Cardona took him out. He says you have to fight fire with fire and says the World Title is coming back to The Latimer Family.

We get a video on Latimer vs Silas.

The Pop and Mims do a promo. Pope says he's thinking about Mims humble beginnings. He says he remembers Mims asking to carry his luggage and to work on the ring crew. Pope says he began to guide and lead him and it came to a head due to a lack of communication. Pope says he doesn't have to tell people why it didn't work. He says he thinks he knows what the future looks like for them and it looks right. Mims says he's tired of asking questions and making it make sense. He says what they will do is provide answers and says them on the same page is the answer. 

NWA World Title - Silas Mason (c) vs Thom Latimer

Thom attacks SM as he enters. They fight outside. Thom's back is rammed into the apron then Thom is sent into the steps. SM holds the title up in his face and says he won't ever get his hands on it. SM misses a punch and hits the post.

Thoughts: It was disappointing. I was expecting a back and forth 15-20 minute match. We got about 7 minutes and SM had control for most of it. It sucks because we waited a long time for this and the hype didn't live up.

Thom offers a handshake after. SM goes up to him, turns around and walks off.

Overall thoughts: The show mostly went okay but there was nothing must see here. The main only being about 7 minutes or so and one-sided was disappointing for the amount of hype it got. I didn't like Daisy Kill losing in the first match of his open challenge and Tyler Stevens losing didn't help him either. They've amped the production up some and they are doing more promos/videos to get you hyped up for things so they are doing a better job on that end but when it comes to delivering on the hype, they do a poor job of it. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as the main brought this one down. The show was acceptable overall.

Makkari Kandy is interviewed by Jaxx Roxx. Jaxx says the issue with Raven Black is getting out of hand. MK says she's enraged and has respected everyone who walked through the door. She says Raven tried to end her career but it won't go like that. She says she vows to end her career the next time she sees her in the ring.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout here. The heels are decent workers and Gage and Dabbs did what they are supposed to. We got a DQ finish but the reasoning behind it made sense. Hunt took a risky bump off the top when Jason got pushed into the ropes.

Gage offers a handshake to Dabbs. Dabbs slaps the hand then hugs him. Their dad holds their arms up.

Overall thoughts: The opener was average. Elijah Owens squeaked out a quick win. Ray vs Amari was interesting Ray getting heeled on then doing his own heelish stuff to win. Knox/Nyxx was an okay intergender bout and the main was fine. They did a good job with recapping past events and we'll have to see what comes next time out of this show. This was an okay show and I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

Adam Pearce finds a wooden box in the back that says not to open it until 2/28/2026. He asks a delivery man about it (it's Eli Knox of EPW). Adam asks what's in it and Eli says he doesn't know and didn't open it. Eli asks what he wants him to do? Adam says to put it on the truck and let Aldis deal with it on Smackdown.

Los Americanos then come up to Adam. Grande talks in Spanish and complains about Elimination Chamber qualifying. Grande asks him to give him something and asks for an IC Title match.

Adam Pearce says Aldis offered Oba Femi a contract and now he is too. He says his offer is better than Aldis'. Oba says he needs time to decide. Oba then runs into Rusev and they stare down. Oba is a lot bigger than him.

Punk says he does thing that p!sses people. Finn Balor comes out. Dom and JD follow Finn out. They surround the ring. Finn says they didn't come out here to fight. Finn says to be the best in the world, you gotta train with the best catch wrestler, train with the best luchadores and survive the toughest dojos in Japan. He says you also gotta show up your first night on Raw and beat Roman Reigns. Finn says by that definition, the best in the world is standing in front of him. 

Punk says he knows who he is..he knows who he was. He says Finn did some great things by himself and didn't see Judgment Day with him in Japan and Mexico. He says Finn used to mean something.

Dom consoles Liv in the back. Raquel is with them and tries to get Liv to come out with her. JD and Finn talk. JD says Punk got into Finn's head and is he's playing into his head. JD says they had Punk surrounded and could have sent him to The Chamber more hurt than he is. He says he's trying to help him become chamber. Finn says if he wants to help, let him do this alone. Dom says he still has a match but neither of them are paying attention.

AJ Lee comes out. She says she walked out for moral support last week and came out the #1 contender to the Women's IC Title. She said Becky Lynch reminded her this is serious business when she banged her head off the post. She says she hasn't had a singles match in a decade yet alone a title match. She said the last time she had a title match, things looked different here. She brings up the old Divas Title and said she loved the title. She says she made it.

She says there's a women's division before her and after. She talks about all the girls she wants to fight but says all roads lead back to Becky. She says she doesn't know why Becky doesn't like her and implies jealousy. She says she gave her a 10 year head start and she still hasn't caught up. She says she's not mad at her, she's grateful. She says maybe she can show she is still a champion. She says she walked out of Chicago victorious but will walk out of Mania champ. She says she's got something for Becky's @ss if she wants to come out.

Becky Lynch comes out. She says this is an opportunity for AJ to grab her family and friends and get a send off. She says she can have the retirement match she never had and doesn't deserve. She says AJ's gift was leaving. She says she made history for 10 years while AJ made comics. She says if she makes it through Elimination Chamber, she can make a comic about the time she went against the best of all time. She says maybe that comic will sell. AJ tells her to come in and says they can throw hands right now. She says, "Let's go Becky booboo".

Becky asks if she looks stupid. She says she can come in and she will give her the first shot. AJ dares her to hit her and Becky doesn't. She says AJ wants her to beat her up so she can't make it to Elimination Chamber. Becky then walks off and says she doesn't fight in Memphis. 

Adam Pearce talks to a guard in the back. He then talks to The Vision. Theory asks he will let that happen to Logan. Heyman tells him to go back to the jet. Heyman tells Adam this is on him. Adam says the masked man is just as big of a problem for him as it is for them. Reed says he solves problems and when he catches him, the problem will be solved.

Thoughts: Evans winning was a surprise here. I was sure Gun was winning this. Evans should provide some nice spots in The Chamber, but he's not winning it. It was an entertaining match with a lot of flying around and Gun hitting stuff shots.

Overall thoughts: It was an okay Raw. There was nothing great here but it made sense and we had a lot of okay stuff going on. The main was maybe the best thing on here but not by that much. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 but I think you can skip this.

Xel is double gorilla pressed and dropped backwards. Esf tope con hilos 2 heels outside. Cap then tope con hilos them. Xel top rope crossbodies Roja for 2. Xel hurricanrana's Roja for 2. Roja rips Xel's mask off and is DQ'd. Xel's team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: The finish was dumb and that's a shame as they were doing a good job otherwise. Cap hit 2 wild moves which I showed you above here and the heels did a good job. Barboza had a good night. I still liked this though. Xel continued not to do submission based offense here and I think they are trying to turn him more into a generic technico.

Thoughts: It was a shorter but okay bout. They definitely rushed the third fall a bit. I don't know why they are jobbing Sob out all the time when he is so over. I liked what we got but they didn't go all out here.  

Overall thoughts: There were 3 new matches here as usual. The women's match was just average as always. The 2nd match was good and the best match on the show. Capitan Suicida busted out some new moves that were very impressive and the heels put out a good effort. The main was okay but a bit rushed and nothing too out of the ordinary. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 total. The show was good overall.
