Thoughts
: It was an alright bout here. Ace did his usual offense and lost as expected. Ace flew and CC knocked him down. It got enough time to play out and I had no real issues with this.

We get a Motor City Machine Guns video. They say they are here and are amongst the greatest tag division of all time. They say only the strong survive and everyone else is in their sights.

Matt Sydal does an inset promo. He says he thought he would never wrestle again but he got his feet fixed and now he can kick OC's @ss with both feet. He says he came here to win the cup.

Thoughts: I didn't like OC's screwing around here. This is a tournament match and he didn't take it super seriously while still winning. It was nice to see Sydal again after a long layoff. The match was fine but OC's screwing around hurt it.

Jon Moxley tells Claudio he's a machine in the back. Mox says he's naked without the Continental Title. He says he's ripe for the pickings. He says he has a soft spot for Jack Perry but says he's on the wrong team tonight. He says he has a wild hair on his @ss for The Bang Bang Gang. He says it'll be a bad night for him and his friends. CC says, "against the world".

Thoughts: It was a short squash with The Rascalz winning as expected. Solo got a chant from the crowd.

Wes Lee says they won last time they were here and says no one knows about being a mile high like them. Zach says they prove time and time again that they belong in AEW. Wes says AEW is where the best wrestle. Wes says they are one of the best teams and Reed says they can handle it in singles action. Reed says he's facing Mike Bailey tonight.

Mike Bailey vs Myron Reed

Reed misses a top rope 450. Reed runs at him and Mike hits a flipping slam off of it. Mike pins him.

Thoughts: Mike's selling of the leg could have been better but this was an okay match. It was mostly all flying and they didn't do the dangerous head-dropping moves with it that generally bring those kinds of matches down. Reed continues to stand out on Collision and it's getting harder for them to justify not pushing him while so many similar guys like him get pushed. 

The Dogs do a promo. Clark talks about their recent wins over The Bang Bang Gang. Clark says Finlay will beat the tar out of Jay on Dynamite. Finlay says Jay is basically on the shelf and he can't beat him, or even just survive. Finlay says he could face anyone in the Continental Cup. He says he doesn't care who it is. Finlay says all friendships are dead and anything goes when the bell rings. They say it doesn't matter who you are, The Dogs are off the chain and says they let the dogs out.

Persephone and Shida do a promo. Pers says Maya World's luck runs out and says her wins over them were flukes. Shida says she will right the wrongs from Redemption when she beats Maya. She says still the best is Shida.

Hikaru Shida and Persephone vs Maya World and Hyan

Hyan shoulders Pers then seated springboard armdrags her. Hyan northern lights suplexes her for 2. Maya get double teamed and hits shots on both opponents. Maya does a headscissors + headlock takeover. Maya spinning heel kicks Pers for 2. Hyan sunset flips Pers but Pers rolls out and basement dropkicks her.

Maya then topes her. Hyan spears Shida for 2. Shida forearms Hyan and hits a dangerous looking TTD. Shida pins Hyan.

Thoughts
: It had some good and bad points to it. Hyan almost got it real bad on the finish here on a botched TTD. They gave Hyan and Maya a lot of shine here but I thought it was average overall.

Kevin Knight is interviewed. He says he knows what Darby Allin wants. Kevin says he wants to talk about what he wants. He says maybe he will grant Darby's wish and make him a casualty. He says Darby would have never beaten him in Mexico if it weren't for Jericho. He says Jericho was a TV champ on this network but was never TNT champ. Kevin challenges Jericho to a TNT Title match. 

The commentators talk about Takeshita in the G1.

Jack top rope moonsaults outside onto 3 opponents.

Colt dropkicks Yuta. Shafir tires to get in. The Dogs pull Austin crotch first into the post. Yuta low blows Colt. Yuta flying knees Colt and pins him.

Thoughts
: It was an alright tag. The Riders did basic heeling. Austin was having a hot night here and did well on his comebacks. It didn't get a ton of time but I liked what we got.

Jack flying knees Yuta after and points at Mox. 

Mike Bailey does a promo. He says Grand Slam Mexico was a dream come true. He says he's grateful for all of it but he's not the International champ. He says he's locked in.

Nick says he will beat Bandido and become the youngest ROH champ of all time. He says he will show him how to take an opportunity and run with it and get the #2 spot in the gauntlet.

We get a tribute video on Dory Funk Jr.

Shane Taylor Promotions and The Hurt Syndicate are interviewed. Shane says he knows time is money and says they want to acquire their servies and assist them in their new business venture. Shane says they will get rich and make history together. Shane then offers an envelope full of money as a show of good faith. Bobby takes it. MVP says Shane has their attention and they will be in touch.

Jack Perry and The Bang Bang Gang are in the back. Jack throws a water bottle. He says he was told to stay away from gangs as a kid. He says The Gang seems alright though. He says it's him and Mox 1v1 for the first time ever with no one else out there on Dynamite. He says all it takes is one loss and Mox is no longer the Continental champ and is out of the cup. He says he will show him what a sweet kid is all about. Juice says Yuta would have taken a 310 to Yuma if it weren't for The Dogs. Juice asks what Finlay and Clark will do without their buddies in The Continental Classic (he means The Cup). They then do the "guns up" line.

Eddie Kingston does an inset promo ahead of his match. He says he won the first Continental Classic and will now win the first Continental Cup. He says O'Doyle doesn't rule, he does (it's a line from an Adam Sandler movie).

Jake forearms Eddie. Eddie uraken's him twice. Eddie does a stretch plum and Jake taps out.

Thoughts:
It was the usual Eddie match with him doing his favorite Japanese moves. Jake brought the power and bullied Eddie around some with that. It went about as well as it was going to go and was okay, but it maybe got a little more time than it needed to get. This ran past 10:09PM. 

Overall thoughts: It was mostly all random matches here as usual. I liked all the men's matches here. The squashes were what they were and Maya World's match didn't impress. Reed/Bailey was the match of the night. We didn't get a ton of storyline developments here which isn't unusual. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as we had a lot good wrestling. This was an okay show overall, but it didn't need to go past 10PM.

MLW Fusion 8/8/2026 Blood and Thunder

Shotzi low topes SB outside and knocks Lady over in the process. Lady goes up top and corkscrew moonsaults SB. Lady pins SB.

Thoughts: It was nice to see Lady win in her debut. The match was acceptable. They cut away during the finish and I think Lady may have landed badly on SB. The work wasn't anything too great but it was better than it could have been.

Corinne Joy says she's making her debut and will make sure it's the only thing anyone is talking about.

We see the same video from last week of Matt Riddle telling Killer Kross he owes him. Kross asks what he owes him. Matt says he will know when the time is right. 

We get a video on CONTRA Unit.

AA is catapulted into the buckles. Joe double jump twisting crossbodies him. Joe john woo's him. Joe spinning lariats him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a bit one-sided and Joe won as expected. What we got was acceptable with Joe's offense looking good and Alan getting a few things in before going down.

Glasgow Boys On Top are interviewed by Rich Bocchini. Rich says rumors say GBOT took out Trevor Lee. Joe says he did take Trevor Lee out. He says he has a surprise and says he's the one who beat up Teddy Long as well. Labron Kozone then comes out and security tries to stop him. Kozone pulls a chair out and GBOT tell security to keep Kozone back. Joe says it will be GBOT on top.

We get another video that says Jumbo is coming soon.

Thoughts
: It was acceptable. Kross isn't the most exciting guy and Kojima is a little bit more limited than he used to be. I think they got a decent final result out of this and it's not like it was bad or anything. Kross won as expected here.

They bow to each other after. Kross gets on the mic after and Matt Riddle comes out. Kross says Kojima has been an inspiration and it's an honor to face him. He asks him to come back. Riddle holds up Kross' arm. Riddle then says, "and remember, you owe me". Kross carries out Scarlett on his shoulder.

Overall thoughts: We only had 3 matches here. All 3 were acceptable but none of them were must see. I'd say the main was the best thing on here, but they were all pretty close quality wise. There wasn't a ton going on otherwise and this definitely could have used some more promos or backstage segments from some of the other wrestlers. I'd give it 5 out of 10 and say it was acceptable overall.

NWA Powerrr 8/8/2026

NWA Powerrr 8/8/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/nwa-powerrr-812026.html

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

Kyle Davis interviews Daisy Kill and Big Cuzzo. Kill says Cuzzo's name in a fancy way like his. Kill says Eric Smalls cost him a title and he'll rectify it. He tells Alex Misery to bring his freak friends out. He tells him to bring all he has as it won't be enough. Kill says the title is coming home with him and it won't be enough.

We return from break. Kill wristlocks him and chops him. Alex lariats him down then double chops him. Alex spinning neckbreakers him. Alex enzugiri's him from the apron.

Bonez gets in the ring and Cuzzo pulls him out. Eric Small punches Kill in the nuts then Alex handspring cutters Kill. Alex top rope splashes Kill and pins him.

Thoughts: It didn't get that much time and had a lot of shenanigan here with multiple people getting involved. The camera's mostly missed the biggest spot of the match with Alex moonsault into Kill's superkick. This was average.

Eric Smalls taunts Kill after and stomps him. Cuzzo grabs Eric by the head and turns him around. Cuzzo powerslams him.

Aron Stevens does a promo with Mike Mondo and Slade. Sade says he's the greatest junior heavyweight champ in history. He says Damian Fenrir found out 3 times that the only option he is is to tap. Mondo says Bryan Idol is a former TV champ and Mike says he's the current National champ. He says Idol isn't on his level. He says Idol says looks that kill but Mike says he's the looks that kill. Mike says Idol will find out that it's his time and it's gut check time.

Kratos does a promo. He says the locker room has changed in the NWA. He says his problem is he doesn't brag enough. He says he debuted and became US Tag champ and a 2x World Tag champ. Kratos says he became the best big man in wrestling when he laced up his boots here. He says everyone better tread lightly when they say his name as he's coming for the NWA Title. He says he will face Effy in 2 weeks and says he will find out why he's the collector of the 123.

Buster and Lockjaw Drake vs Jack and Eddie (Eddie Grayson and Jack Valor)

Aron Stevens is with Buster and Drake.

Buster lariats Jack and Eddie down. Eddie jawbreakers Drake but Eddie huts himself doing it while Drake no sells it. Drake then pins Eddie with a foot on the chest.

Thoughts
: It was an unusual one with Drake winning after Eddie jawbreakered him and knocked himself out. They had the right idea with Jack and Eddie trying to double team and dropkick Buster and Buster naturally used his weight on them. Jack and Eddie sold a lot here. It was average.

It's Me...The Carson Drake Experience

The Slimeballz are this week's guests. They are still dressed up in colonial gear covered in green slime. Drake says The Slimez are the only team that could hide an Easter egg from themselves. Drake says The Slimez are his 2nd favorite team in the NWA. Sage says they are still the presidents and says The Hardway didn't actually beat them. Drake then shows them clips of them getting beaten. Sage says it's AI and Rant says it stands for, "Aron's Intelligence".

The Slimez argue about never losing. Drake says they are out of time.

Colby Corino does a video. He says he doesn't see himself as a victim. He says last year was the worst year of his life. He said he tried to come back in the best mental and physical shape of his life. He says he will continue to walk towards destiny when the 10 pounds of gold is above his head.

The Pope vs Carnage

Pope tries to shoulder him over but is knocked down twice. Pope boots him in the gut and hits chops. Carn hits shots to the gut. Pope slingshots over him then Carn powerslams him.

Carn hits forearms and lariats. Carn leg lariats him. Carn corner splashes him. Pope 2nd rope os cutters him for 2. Carn hits a big dropkick and Pope rolls out. 

Pope eye pokes him outside and throws a chair in the ring. Pope misses a chairshot outside. Carn hits Pope in the gut with a chair and is DQ'd.

Thoughts: If you've seen one Pope match, you've kind of seen the all. He doesn't reinvent the wheel. Carnage wasn't supposed to be the face here but came off like one. His offense looked good like the usual. The finish was lame though as Carn got DQ'd for a chairshot. I thought it was average.

The Light then jump Carnage from behind. Carn is held and Pope hits a big punch on him.

The NWA Women's TV champ does a promo.

NWA Women's Title - No Limits Match - Tiffany Nieves (c) vs Natalia Markova

Tiff comes out using a walker. She is not in wrestling gear. Kyle Davis interviews Tiff and asks if the match is happening. Tiff says she submitted all paperwork and is unable to compete and defend her title. She says she's not cleared. She said she was told she will be stripped of the title. She says she knows it wasn't what Markova or the fans want. Tiff says it's only fair that she faces her when she is medically cleared. Tiff then shows her a wad of cash to bribe her.

Nat says she doesn't want her to be stripped of the title, she wants to beat her for it. She says Tiff never beat her for the title and should be ashamed of calling herself a champ. Tiff says the fans deserve a high quality match and says she wishes someone would seize the opportunity. She then looks at Gretta and asks if Tiff is scared of Gretta. Tiff says if Nat beats Gretta tonight, she will drop her title tonight. Tiff says when Gretta beats her, she gets to pick the match she wants at NWA 78.

Thom Latimer does a promo. He says he's been in this job 24 years. He says he has wrestled everywhere and won pretty much every title here. Thom says he wants to help the next group of talent and trie to help El Dragon Nihan. He says it got him stabbed in the back. Thom says he's betrayed. He says he will face him. He says Nihan will know his name and fear it.

Silas Mason does a promo. He says he and Kerry spent a lot of time together over the years, time he took to figure out how he thinks and what his habits are. He says he saw him run away when things went badly and that's what happened here. He says Kerry is the only who did this and tried to put a target on his back due to the title. Silas says no one will put a target on his back. He says no one puts a target on him and says he will hunt Kerry down.

No Limits Match - Natalia Markova vs Gretta

One of Gretta's buddies gets in the ring with a chair. Gretta grabs the hair and has the chair superkicked in her face. Nat boots her out of the corner. Nat hits leg kicks. Ms. Starr trips up Nat. Gretta ear claps Nat and headbutts her down. 

Gretta dumps her off her shoulder. Nat is thrown into the buckles face first. Gretta corner splashes her. Nat hits 2nd rope forearms on Gretta. Gretta blocks a headscissors and powerbombs her. 

A table is brought in the ring by TV-MA. Nat hits forearms on Gretta. Nat chairs Gretta, Gretta tries to block it and still gets hit hard in the arms. Nat goes up top. Ms. Starr tries to trip Gretta. Nat then gets hit with a kendo stick by the new person in TV-MA. Gretta chokeslams Nat through a table and pins her with her foot on her chest.

Thoughts: We didn't get the match we were promised with this one so it was always going to be disappointing. We didn't get a lot here and TV-MA weren't real effective in this. It was a shorter bout. Gretta is green and a bit sloppy but they are protecting her and making her look like a force.

Overall thoughts: Kill/Misery was too short and was average. Buster's tag match was also average and had an unusual finish. Pope/Carnage didn't stand out and Carnage showed Pope up here. We didn't get get the main event we were promised which sucked. We instead got Markova/Gretta which was a short bout with interference where Gretta lost as expected. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as nothing we got here was that good and we never got the main event we were promised. This was not good.

Thoughts: Saya loses yet again. Her booking is absolutely bizarre and it's hard to understand what they are going for here. It was competitive and it felt like either person could win. I don't know if Aoki was the right person for this one and I thought it was missing something.

Thoughts: It would have been a solid heavyweight match but they had to do the face/heel stuff and the outside brawling, which took away from it. It was still alright enough overall, but this would have been good if they had a straight match.

Thoughts
: Kid did her usual match where she works the leg and does stretch mufflers. Saya didn't get a ton of offense in on this one and didn't fly that much. The fighting in the stands wasted a lot of time. I didn't think this was that good.

They cat fight after. Kid and Saya then talk to each other on the mic. Saya leaves and Kid talks a a bit more to close the show.

Overall thoughts: They had some better matches here than on the other nights and the girls tried a bit more because this was in Korakuen. The opener had some sloppy moments. Hart/Rian was fine. I thought Kurara/Aoki was missing something. Yuna/Ami was good and was the match of the night. Itoh/Lady C wasn't bad. Tora/Maika was alright but would have been good without the outside brawling. Suzu/Miyu was alright as was Konami/Utami. The main event wasn't that good. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and would say it was a good show overall.

The heels beat up Eddie and Ortiz after. TB piledrivers Ortiz. Eddie takes a top rope double stomp + strong zero on a chair. 

Choppin' It Up with Caprice Coleman

Caprice talks to Matt Taven and Mike Bennett. They say it's Matthew and Michael now, not Matt and Mike. Matt says they made a change. They say they are looking for intelligence they can't find here. Mike says they are doing that with AI. Mike asks why more teams aren't using AI.

Thoughts: It was an odd one. You'd think this would be a showcase for Miles, but it was even and I'd say Dante got more in than him. Neither guy is that really over though so there was no reason to care and the match wasn't that good. I didn't like this one.

Thoughts: It was another shorter bout. It should have been fast paced with a lot of flying and it never really got there. This was not that good.

Eddie Kingston, Ortiz and Mance Warner are interviewed. Mance says they have unfinished business and asks the interview to lose. Mance says if Rocky and Trent want violence, they will give them violence. Ortiz says he will give them what they want and stick his foot up their @sses. Eddie say he was out 18 months and Trent/Rocky dropped him on his head. 

Eddie says they don't want to play this game and if they want to take what defines him, he will take it from them. Eddie says Rocky knows what he can ado and they don't want to play this game. Eddie tells him to call Don if he wants and make their move.

Serpentico and Los Colon's (Eddie and Orlando Colon) vs Brandon Cutler, Terry Yaki and Jay Lucas

As a WWC viewer, this team makes no sense as Eddie and Orlando are feuding. But I don't expect them to keep that up outside of WWC.

Thoughts: I'd put it around the average to acceptable level. Eddie had a nice comeback as usual and the jobbers weren't that bad. Eddie's team won as expected here. 

Mark Sterling says he has a scoop. The Outrunners and Dalton Castle are next to him. He shows off his own action figure. Turbo asks who the action figure is and asks why anyone would want a doll of him. Turbo says they can use their dolls to beat up that doll. Mark says his figure needs to provide legal advice to their team. Dalton takes the figure and Mark says he will need it back.

The shots connected and they beat each other up like it was a real fight. It was almost all brawling. These two really clicked somehow and this was a good match.

Jacked says they are sick of losing, sick of boozing and sick of him. Jacked then stomps Vance. The Dark Order of Evil Uno and Alex Reynolds then come out and Jacked/Griff leave. The Dark Order and Vance hug. Vance then does the Dark Order hand sign.

Thoughts: The Frat House never really got over or worked. It wasn't their fault for the most part as they never won and never got to do anything. That crew breaking up is no real loss for anyone.

Overall thoughts: It was a long ROH at 2 hours and 19 minutes. As always, most of the wrestlers and matches were random. We did get three sets of champs on the show at least. They also did show some signs of improvement by showing us clips of things from other episodes and giving us some non-wrestling segments. Red Velvet vs Isla Dawn was surprisingly the match of the night. The two had a nice brawl and just beat up each other good. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall as it was an average show. I wouldn't recommend this one.

Punk says they can find Orton together, 2 Man Power Trip style, and beat him up. Cody says he guarantees he will find Orton and kick his @ss himself. Cody then leaves to let Punk talk. Punk tells Cody to say when about their unfinished business.

Kevin Owens then comes out. Cody holds his hands open and kind of gives him the mic. KO takes it. KO gets in the ring. Him and Punk have words. Nick Aldis (with a black eye) then gets on the apron. KO says him and Punk are pros and says not to worry about it. Punk asks if KO is here to claim his title shot. KO says he does want to wrestle and that's all he wanted to do for the last 17 months. He says he didn't want to leave but was forced to. He says he proved people wrong his entire career and now he's here.

KO says Punk is proving him right. He says people told him to give Punk a second chance. He says he never bought it. He says he knows who Punk is and Punk is proving it. KO says he's offering Punk shots when KO is the #1 contender. He says Punk thinks he's better than everyone and says it proves Punk is still the same arrogant sociopath. 

Punk says some people love his arrogance. Punk says his title proves he's the best in the world. He says if anyone benefited from his arrogance, it's KO. Punk says this place called him "skinny fat" and asks if he thinks this place was waiting fro KO. KO says he hasn't been champ for 10 years. He says he never guessed something would happen to make this even better. He says now, he doesn't just get to win the title, but he gets to humble Punk and beat him for it. Punk says it's goo to have impossible dreams. 

Punk says he needs to show gratitude as KO wouldn't be here without him. Punk says he knows he's the best in the world and so do the fans. Punk says to look at KO. KO says he should be grateful and should thank him. He says he should also thank him for showing him what not to do and how not to treat people. KO says he must be so lonely on his own pedestal. He says seeing what he has become, made him not turn into a miserable piece of sh!t like him. Officials get in the ring and KO shoves Punk. 

Charlotte Flair is interviewed. Flair says her and Jade have been having issues for 3 years. She says she's not fighting for the top spot, she's fighting for Alexa Bliss. She says Jade has her attention and she's going to kick her @ss in her spotlight. Flair then challenges her to come fight her alone tonight.

Trick Wiliams talks in the back. He says he's getting his rematch vs Baron Corbin. Trick says Baron only got his title as he hit him in the head with it. Trick says they both know Baron can't beat him. He says he will beat Baron down tonight. He says Philly will whoop that trick and he will whoop that @ss.

Thoughts: I was really surprised to see Trick losing again here. They are really testing him by doing that. It was acceptable overall but not much else.

Nick Aldis talks to Sami Zayn. Sami congratulates him on his Summerslam match. He says he cried when Nick's kid hugged him in the ring. Sami asks if Nick will congratulate him about Summerslam. Sami then goes off about Nick screwing him. He says it's hard to believe Nick didn't add Kevin Owens to the match to screw him. Kevin Owens walks in. Kevin tells Nick he wants his title match in Toronto. Nick says he will make some calls.

Sami says welcome back and says no one is happier he's back. KO doesn't think he's sincere. Sami says KO's return screwed him 100% and came at his expense. KO agrees. Sami asks if he can apologize. KO says he's sorry it affected him but says Sami would do the same. KO says he won in his last match and beat Sami in a #1 contender's match. 

Sami says he wants to see him be champ more than CM Punk. He tells him to let him know if he wants him to do anything to make it happen. KO says he will do it on his own. Sami says it's fine and says don't think Sami won't chase what he wants because it's what KO wants.

Baron Corbin is in the back. Cathy Kelly says he got 2 upsets over Trick. Baron asks if she's kidding and asks if he's the underdog. He asks her to explain how he's the underdog.

Fatal Influence interrupt. Jacy says she would have been champ and in the ladder match if it wasn't for Tiff. Reid says they would have all been draped in gold. Fallon says Green thinks she deserves the title. Jacy says Tiff has given her no choice but to take the thing she likes the most. She says she wants to take the US Title off of her and she will be "Tiffy No Titles". Tiff says she will give her a title match if they get a tag title match right now. Fatal Influence thinks it over and says they accept. Jacy tells Nick to bring a ref out now.

Thoughts:
It was acceptable. Nothing too great, but no one botched and it went about as well as it was going to. There was no real reason to suspect Green and Tiff were winning here.

Nia Jax and Lash Legend attack Tiff and Green after. 

Damian Priest is interviewed. He complains about The MFT's. The War Raiders come in. Erik says they've been chasing them for a title shot. Ivar says they will be double champs.

Cody asks what he's waiting for and tells him to get in the ring right now. Officials come out and get between them. Cody says he knows Orton doesn't mention to anyone and says Orton owes him an explanation. 

Orton says he doesn't owe him anything. He says Cody asked for the best version of himself. He says he gave him it and Cody beat him. He says his voices told him to kick him in the face as hard as he could. He says the worst version of Orton can get him title #15. He says he won't take it from Cody as he will do everything he can to make sure Cody is never a champ again.

Cody says what about the worst version of himself? He says he doesn't need to be the good guy anymore. He says Orton used to be the legend killer but he's the last legend in the WWE. He asks who will kill him?

Sami Zayn complains to Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano in the back. Sami says he's jealous of Kevin Owens as he gets to tell Punk what a fraud he is. CM Punk comes in. Punk asks if they are still doing this. Punk says Sami has a big mouth when he's not around. He says he knows Owens is jealous, but he can say it to his face. Sami says he's a fraud and his days are numbered. Sami says he'd break his face if his hand wasn't broken. 

Punk says he would have in Chicago but he lost. He says Sami is in the back of the link. Punk says he'd give LeRae or Gargano a shot before him. Sami asks Gargano how he will let him to talk to them about that.

Jade Cargill, Michin and B-Fab talk in the back. Cathy tries to interview them. Fab says they don't care about what Charlotte has to say. Mich says Flair is jealous of Jade. Jade it's business as usual and she will end this by kicking some @ss.

Nikki Bella does a video. She says she tried hard to be supportive and made an unselfish move. She says she revitalized Paige's career and she repaid her by losing the tag titles. Nikki says Brie deserved better. She says Paige failed them. She says Brie is hurt because of Paige. She says she will make sure the rest of Paige's career will be pure misery.

Shinsuke Nakamura does a video. He says The MFT's think they evolved and needs to remember who they are. Nakamura says they need to remember who he is - the king of strong style and Shinsuke Nakamura. He says he's back and this time, he will not be alone. He says he's starting a war and is no longer a one man army. He says he and someone else will make it clear who are warriors and just pawns. He says they are running out of time.

Charlotte Flair vs Jade Cargill

They lock up and back each other up in the corner. Flair monkey flips her and rolls her out of the ring. Jade shoulders her over. Jade poses, Flair kips up and poses. Flair clips her from behind and shoulders her over. Flair headscissors rolls her on the mat. They go outside with it and Flair's head is banged off the commentary table.

Michin and B-Fab interfere and Flair loses the hold. Alexa Bliss comes out with her arm in a brace. She then shows her doll Lily. Bliss makes the lights go out. Tatum Paxley then appears on the top rope and crossbodies Mich and Fab outside. Tatum hugs Alexa. Jade and Flair botch a powerbomb escape. Flair hits a sister abigail on her then hits like a bad diving natural selection off the top to win.

Thoughts: We haven't seen Tatum around NXT for a few weeks. It's good for her to finally get called up. The match had some highs and lows here and got a little sloppier towards the end. It was a borderline alright match at times but then got worse. I'm curious how they handle Tatum/Bliss/Flair as group.

Overall thoughts: We had a lot going on here on this one non-wrestling wise and a lot of average matches in the ring that brought this down some. We also had an ad-free first 30 minutes. I'm not sure that there was a match of the night here. They did do a nice job of setting things up for future weeks though and had lots of stars interacting. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as the wrestling could have been a bit better here. It was average.

Jc hits a bad go to sleep kick on a twin. A twin takes a top rope splash + neckbreaker combo and Jc pins the twin.

Thoughts: What we got wasn't that bad. It was nice to see some juniors action for a change. This had a faster pace to it than most WWC bouts and had a decent bit of action. Jc's team won as expected.
 
Joe Bravo does a promo. He says he's facing a young wrestler who has the drive and motivation to win in El Hostil Jovan. He says Jovan has everything to become a star but he will hit a wall on 8/2. He says he hopes he's doing the proper preparation to be in the bet condition of his life. He says this is a trial by fire for him. We saw this already.

El Hostil Jovan does a promo. He says he has an important commitment on 8/2 when he faces Joe Bravo for the first time. He says Joe will face a 2nd generation wrestler with a lot of hunger. He says he'll see him on 8/2. and says he will show anyone else that he will continue to be the best. We saw this already.

I think Orlando Toledo does a promo for Lightning, but we can't actually see them talking. He says John is no stranger and tells him to get ready to shed blood in Aguadilla.

John Hawking does a promo. He says Lightning has done everything in lucha and was part of one of the most legendary tag teams. He says he admires Lightning but he has beaten him before. He says not many people can say that. He says Lightning's voices in his head are bothered by him beating him. He says he knows Lightning is coming to destroy him. He says the John Hawking he met in the past is not the same. He says he's mentally and physically ready for the match.  

Chicano comes out before Los Fortuna leave. He tells them he wants to talk to them. He said they said they wanted to join his group with Carlito and Orlando. He asks why they just lost? He says he has an answer for them and double lariats them. He then flying forearms both down and says the request was revoked.

Alberto El Patron vs Ray Gonzalez

Al chinlocks him.Ray chops him in the corner and pulls his throat down over the top rope, which sends Al out. Al's head is banged off the seats then Ray chairs him with a plastic lawn chair. Al's head is banged off the post.

Al throws water at Ray and sends him into the post. 

We go to break.

Lou Forza does a promo. He tells Oscar Benabe not to go through the embarrassment of being beaten in Aguadilla against him. He says the night will be regrettable for him. He says he will prove once and for all that he can't stop him.

La Guerrera Aamzona does a promo. She says the public calls her one of the best ever. She says it causes good things for some and ency for others. She says Stephany Amalbert was wrong about her and always has been. She says she thought she was alone but she was never alone. El Payaso Makabro then shows up behind her on the steps.

We return from break. Al grabs a chair and puts it between the ropes. Ray hits punches on him and bangs his head off of it. Ray hits kicks to the leg. Ray knee drops the leg and figure fours him. Al reverses it, Ray rope breaks and and Chicano comes out to hit Ray in the head with a chair. Al then gets a easy 3 count on a knocked out Ray.

Thoughts: What we got was fine. It was mostly brawling. It's a shame we had to have interference in the end as the match was starting to pick up. Chicano chairing Ray should lead to something down the line.

Sai Perez does a promo. He says Kamila is running out of time as champ. She says she has the opportunity of the lifetime to face her.

Kamila does a promo. She calls Sai daddy's girl. She says she doesn't care about all the legacies and surnames. She says there will be no legacy to fight for her. She says she will find out who Kamila is.

We see clips of Zcion RT1 vs Lightning (we saw this last week).

La Noche Que no Necesita is on 8/29 and it'll have a cage of death match between Zcion RT1 and Lightning. 

Zcion RT1 does a promo. He says he has a name for the 8/29 show and says it will be the end of a d@mned legend. He says he told Lightning that crossing him was his worst mistake. He says they have a 10 year history and says it will end soon in the cage of death. He says Lightning has one chance to become Universal champ and that's to take him out at the cage of death. He says it will be very difficult. He says it will be a bloodbath and he'll be waiting for him. He says he will demonstrate why he's the maldita revolucion.

Tony Leyenda does a promo. He says he's fed up with wrestling in PR. He says we all talk about about foreigners talking trash. He says his era of talking trash about PR is over. He says he doesn't need to do it as he planted his flag here. He says it's the same stuff and doesn't impress him. He says he's better because he shows it everyday. He says no one does anything like him as he's the best. He tells Xavant his shoes are too hard to fill. He says he will give Xavant a hard time and says will keep his head held high because even when he loses, he still wins. We saw this already.

Xavant does a promo. He says they have an important commitment in Aguadilla. He says he has to defend the homeland vs Tony Leyenda. He says Tony does many things well but some things badly. He says he talks too much and says he liked to say how cool he is...but his pants are too tight and his hair is in a bun. He says Tony is just a showoff. He says he will make him pay for all the comments he made about Puerto Ricans. He says he's crazy about pleasing his people and says to get ready because he's going to war. He says he will fight with his heart and persevere until he triumphs as that is what champions do.

Eddie Colon does a promo. He says he doesn't get why Orlando Colon tried to get him to join him by beating him up. Eddie says he will keep the money he owed him and go on vacation for him. Eddie says he will put his Director of Operations title on the line with him. He says he knows when Orlando is the director of a company, he bankrupts it quickly. He says he won't allow that. He says he needs to beat the sh!t out of him.

Axel and Abel close the show. They talk about Eddie or Orlndo. Abel says he saw Abel with Orlando Colon. Abel says there's many surprises to come.

Overall thoughts:
We only got two matches here. Both were fine and I felt like we saw enough of them. We had the usual promos otherwise and lots of build for the Aguadilla show tomorrow and some early build for the 8/29 show. There was nothing must see here but it was acceptable. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 total.
