AAA on Fox 7/4/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/aaa-on-fox-6282026.html

JBL, Rey Mysterio and Corey Graves are on commentary.

Rey Mysterio comes out to talk. He says AAA has been the best place for lucha and says the vision is even bigger now. He says he wants it to be the place for the biggest stars in the world. He says he has a wrestler who represents lucha and brings out Damian Priest.

Damian Priest comes out. DP comes out and takes about the titles he held and some of the things he has done. He says he hasn't done any of that stuff in AAA though. He says he's not here to make friends or enemies, he's here to dominate AAA. He says if you face him, you will fall before him. He tells everyone to rise as El Campeon has come to AAA.

We see various wrestlers arrive and hang out.  

Flammer vs Lady Shani

Flam has Las Toxicas with her. Lady armdrags her then takes her down out of the side headlock position. They shove each other. Lady boots Flam. Lady bodyscissors takedowns her. Lady flying headscissors her. 

Flam hits mounted forearms and chops Lady. Flam kicks her in the leg. Flam tries to unmask Lady for 2. Flam spinebusters her, shakes her head around and lo diving lariat her. Flam chokes Lady on the ropes. Flam corner lariats her and stomps on her in the corner.

They trade chops and Flam forearms her. Lady gets on her back with a sleeper and Flam backs her up in the corner. Flam chops her and kicks her in the leg. Lady lariats her.

Lady fires up some and hits some shots. Lady iconoclasm's her and pins her.

Thoughts: This didn't work. The crowd was dead, there wasn't much of a flow to it, it was sloppy and just not a good match. It also went a lot longer than it needed to.

La Catalina poses with the title after and Lady Shani motions that she will hold the belt.

We see a hidden cam of The Psycho Circus helping Pagano into an ambulance. 

El Grande Americano does a promo about Perros del Mal attacking him. He says he didn't expect that but it's okay. He says Los Perros had their moment and he hopes they enjoyed it. He says next week, he will be waiting for them all. He tells them to show themselves again. He says he won't come alone. He says Los Perros don't forgive but he doesn't either. 

La Parka & Mr. Iguana vs. Dinamico & Drago vs. Money Machine (Colmillo De Plata & Garra De Oro)

Plata offers Iguana money for La Yesca. Iguana grabs Plata with the toy, he walks up the ropes and diving headscissors him. Iguana crucifix bombs Plata. Drago flips off of Plata. Drago does flips and side headlocks Plata. Plata armdrags Drago and Oro dropkicks Drago. Oro elbow drops Drago. 

Drago spin kicks him. Dina comes in. He rolls out of a lariat trips Oro and Dragon running ssp's Oro. Drago finlay rolls Oro. Dina top rope splashes Oro. Parka basement dropkicks Dina. Parka tilt-a-whirl backbreakers Dina then spinning lariats him. Parka drops him on his chest backwards from the backdrop position then rolls him into a german.

Oro walks up the ropes and crossbodies Parka while Plata holds Parka. Drago john woo's Plata. Drago top rope ssp's Money Machine outside. Iguana spinning headscissors Dina. Parka 2nd rope tilt-a-whirl armdrags Dina off the apron. Drago top rope crossbodies Iguana for 2. Drago goes up top and is crotched by Money Machine.

Iguana slingshot diving headscissors Dina outside. Drago spinning ddt's Parka. Drago comes off the top and is caught with a cutter. Parka does his spinning slam move on Drago and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a workrate match. It was designed to be entertaining, let people do some flips and have some fun. It wasn't much more. It did what it was supposed to and it was nice to see Drago. 

Parka and Drago then dance with kids in the ring after.

We see clips of Dr Wagner Jr. vs El Mesias vs Cibernetico in a cage match from Verano de Escandalo 2009. Wagner escaped the cage to win.

Rey Mysterio is asked by the press about Damian Priest. Rey says Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio will be on the show next week. Rey says Verano de Escandalo is on 7/25 and mentions the AAA 8/30 show.

Abismo Negro Jr. vs. El Fiscal

Negro is in the black here. Fis is in the yellow and black.

They trade forearms. Fis superkicks him and hits lariats. Fis bacrackers him then sentons him for 2. Negro hits shots on Fis and suplexes him for 2. Negro hits mounted forearms and punches on Fis. Fis lariats Negro over the top. Fis topes Negro.

Fis stomps Negro and forearms him outside. Fis is pushed into the post. Negro chops him and slams him on the floor. Negro misses a senton off the steps and lands on the floor. 

Fis kicks Negro in the back and throws him in. Fis misses a top rope move. Negro is sent shoulder first into the post. Negro and Fis double lariat each other. Karmen Petrovic comes out and Perros Del Mal attack Fis and Negro. The bell rings and this should be a no contest.

Thoughts: They did what they were supposed to do and it made sense. They could have been a little more aggressive though. It was all brawling here and the two punching and chopping each other.

Angel spears Fis then Berto lariats him. Daga double stomps Fis. Fis is held for a flying kick from Karmen. Perros del Mal then pose over Fis.

Overall thoughts: It was a weaker show. Flammer/Shani didn't go that well. The 3-way tag was a throwaway tag but it was the best bout on here. Fiscal/Negro was fine but not as good as it could have been. Perros del Mal invaded that match and took out both. As has been the case as of late, a lot of stars were missing and we didn't get a lot of follow up on various stories, but that is a downfall of doing multiple taped TV shows at a time like AAA does.  I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as this show needed a bit more excitement. It was acceptable overall and nothing must see.

MLW Fusion 7/4/2026

MLW Fusion 7/4/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/mlw-fusion-6272026.html

We are at Center Stage Theatre in Atlanta, GA. Joe Dombrowski and Tom Lawler are on commentary.

Joe Dombrowski does an intro video talking about the 4th of July. CONTRA Unit interrupts. They say we worship delusions and put Contra logos on cheap shirts. Contra says they were not created for amusement, they were created from fire. They say soon we will taste that fire.

Rich Bocchini has an update on the Bishop Dyer contract dispute. He says the question has been where Dyer. He says MLW and Dyer's negotiations have come to a sand still. He says Dyer is trying to use his status as a tag champ to get an edge over MLW. Rich tells us Dyer is locked out of MLW. He says Dijak is allowed to remain a tag champ if he can find a new tag partner. He says if Dijak can't, the tag titles will be vacated.

Thoughts: There were rumors that Dyer/Corbin was re-signing with WWE and it looks like that is the case here. 

MLW Southern Crown Title Bunkhouse Stampede Match - Festus vs. Jesus Rodriguez vs. Matthew Justice vs. The Beastman vs. Andrew Everett vs. Trevor Lee vs. Josh Bishop vs. Ikuro Kwon vs. Diego Hill vs. Paul Hauser

This match crowns the first MLW Southern Crown champion. It's supposed to pay homage to Southern wrestling. Jesus Rodriguez is Ricardo Rodriguez of WWE fame. Festus is Doc Gallows, doing his old WWE gimmick. They say Gallows is away on medical testing.

Here's some of the highlights of this:

Andrew Everett tried to springboard but was thrown back by Festus. Josh Bishop throws Hill to the outside off a razor's edge. Justice chaired Bishop in the head. Jesus rang the bell and basically made Festus shut off and walk around with his tongue out. 

Kwon shoved Don Gato and got dropped with a punch. Jesus hit Beastman with his own bone. Jesus went for a pin on Festus, but Tom Lawlor rang the bell and woke Festus up. Festus pushed Beastman down steps. Justice and Josh then fought down the stairs and to the back.

Lee countered Hill's crossbody with a spanish fly. Hill hit a nice  double jump corkscrew moonsault on Kwon. Everett hit a top rope ssp on Hill. Trevor Lee won this match with a M. Bison stomp on Everett.

Thoughts: It had a ton of action going on as all 10 men fought at once. We had tons of camera cuts and a lot of fast paced action. The ring couldn't hold all of these guys and there really wasn't more than 3 people in the ring at once here. I figured Lee or Hauser would win as those two made the most sense. What we got was fine but kind of messy. I don't really think MLW needs this title. I also didn't love Gallows trying to be Festus here while still trying to be his current character.

Rich Bocchini talks to Teddy Long. Teddy says MLW brought him back here and says being back here at Center Stage brought back memories. He says he's here for another reason too and we will find out about it.

Teddy then runs into Donovan Dijak. He says Dijak is one of the new Skyscrapers (Teddy used to manage The Skyscrapers in WCW). Dijak says "New Skyscrapers? My @ss". Teddy asks about who will he find for a partner and Dijak tells him to worry about himself. Teddy tells him good luck on everything. He says The Skyscrapers is copyrighted and he'll be looking for his royalty check.

We go to The Contra Mercs War Room with The Good Brothers, Mads Krule Kruegger and Shotzi. Doc brings up Dijak and Dyer being broken up. Doc says they are coming to fight Contra no matter the numbers. Doc says they are the real Contra and are coming. They drink beer and Doc acts wild throughout this.

Teddy Long comes out to talk. Teddy says getting a pop like this lets you know that you are still over. He asks for a "holla holla holla". Teddy says it's an honor to be here and says this is where he started. He says he introduced Butch Reed and Ron Simmons and says he had The Skyscrapers also. He says he's not here to talk about the past but MLW's future too. He says he's here to talk about the next big thing in MLW - Labron Kozone. 

Labron Kozone comes out. 

LaBron Kozone vs. Alan Angels

AA waistlocks him and LK throws him off by the arm. AA side headlocks him. AA goes for a leapfrog and is booted in the chest down. LK slams AA then bottom rope elbow drops him for 2. 

LK euros AA then AA chops him. LK no sells the chops then chops AA down. LK exploders him. AA kicks LK in the chest. AA flying headscissors him. AA enzugiri's him from the apron. AA is caught coming off the top rope and LK backbreakers him. LK is sent out.

AA dropkicks LK in the knee. AA double stomps LK's back on the apron. AA's tope is caught and LK apron powerbombs him. LK holds him for a big lariat and pins him.

Thoughts: It was mostly a squash and it was fine. LK kind of looks like a smaller Keanu Carver. He's muscular, he hits hard and he seems like a decent pick-up. He needs a new name though as he sounds too much like Lebron James and a calzone.

We get a Don Gato video.

We then get a video of a fake heart with blood being poured on it.

Donovan Dijak vs Karl Anderson

KA hits chops on DD. They trade forearms. KA gets the edge and forearms him in the corner. KA chops him and kicks him in the knee. KA chops DD off the apron. KA slingshot plancha's him outside. 

KA is caught coming off the apron and DD chokeslams him on the apron. DD boots him inside and forearms him. KA hits chops and forearms. DD back elbows him. DD hits mounted shots. DD backbreakers him. DD 2nd rope splashes him for 2.

DD chinlocks him. KA chops him then double boots him out of the corner. KA 2nd rope diving neckbreakers him for 2. We go to break and return. DD misses a corner charge and KA jumping facekicks him. KA flipping neckbreakers him for 2. DD back elbows KA in the corner and chest clubs him.

KA boots him from the 2nd rope. KA's top rope diving cutter is caught. DD spinning death valley drivers him for 2. KA hits chops. DD sitout chokeslams him for 2. DD misses a top rope moonsault. KA pump kicks him. They trade shots. KA spinebusters him for 2.

DD facekicks him. KA blocks a GTH and rolls up DD. KA pins DD.

Thoughts: Karl winning was a big upset here. Karl really doesn't do a lot but various strikes and boots. I think they used canned heat here to make the crowd sound better than they were. This was alright, but it may have been better with a few minutes shaved off.

Josh Bishop nails Karl from behind after. Karl is thrown in the ring. Dijak stomps on Karl. Dijak and Josh double chokeslam Karl. They say Josh Bishop will be Dijak's new Skyscrapers partner.

Rich Bocchini interviews Dijak and Bishop. They push Rich away. Dijak says MLW has shafted The Skyscrapers. He says "my @ss" to the supposed contract dispute with Bishop Dyer. He says Josh Bishop is now the 3rd Skyscraper. Josh then grabs the other MLW Tag Title and says we are now looking at the new MLW Tag champion and Skyscraper. 

CONTRA Unit interrupt the feed. They says The Contra Mercs needed to believe they had fallen because the alternative is unbearable.

Overall thoughts: The opener was a bit chaotic as expected. It had a lot of action though and they did okay with it. LaBron Kozone had a decent debut and he looks like has potential. The main was alright but Karl Anderson is a very limited wrestler and there's only so much you are getting out of his matches. They made the best of a bad situation here with Bishop Dyer leaving and Josh Bishop is indeed a suitable replacement for him. Teddy Long also appeared for an interesting cameo, but I don't think he's going to be back much. There was nothing must see on this one and most of their top singles guys were missing. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 though as it was an okay show.

WWC Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre 7/4/2026

The hosts talk and shill the next live event.

Special Ref: Orlando Toledo - Fans are the Lumberjacks - El Informante and Joe Bravo vs Pelayo Vazquez and El Paparazzi

We join this in progress. Info throws Papa out. Papa throws Info out and Info gets whipped with belts. Joe standing dropkicks Papa for 2 then he chinlocks him. Papa elbows Joe in the gut and thesz presses him. Toledo is too busy arguing with Pelayo to count the pin attempt.

Info and Joe stomp Papa while Toledo isn't looking. Joe chinlocks Papa then chokes him with a towel. Joe clubs on Papa. Papa facebusters him. Pelayo tags in. He throws his shirt at Info. Pelayo hits punches on Info then back body drops him. Pelayo throws Info out and the fans whip Info with belts.

Pelayo springboard 2nd rope forearms Info but Toledo argues with Papa instead of counting the pin. Toledo shoves Pelayo argue as they argue. Pelayo throws him out and the fans whip Toledo with belts. Toledo runs to the back to escape the fans. 

Joe misses a corner charge. Pelayo sunset flips Info and Papa pump kicks Info over. Another ref ocmes out and counts the pin for Pelayo on Info.

Thoughts: We only saw some of it but what we saw was fun. The fans had a good time whipping the heels. Pelayo did an excellent job as a face here and looked full of fire. The heels lost as they almost always do in these matches.

El Hostil Jovan does a promo. He says Brandon The Skater mentioned his father the last time they met. He says he won't forget the disrespect he showed him. Jovan says he'd like to know why Brandon wanted a title match as he has shown he's the true Jr. champ many times. He says he will see him on 7/18 and will show him why he's the champ.

Brandon The Skater does a promo. Brandon says he's the best junior in PR. He says they know each other and he hopes he enjoyed his reign, because no matter how long he holds the title, he's the best junior. He says it's Jovan's problem if he doesn't like it.

Orlando Toledo and Lightning talk. Toledo says the games are over and says Zcion is the Universal champ. Toledo says something about Lightning having the green light.

WWC Tag Titles - Los Matadores Celestiales (Mike Nice and Oscar Benabe) (c) vs El Aura Perfecta (Amaddeo Sole and Tony Leyenda)

We join this from the start. All 4 trade shots. Lou and Sole take hiptosses. Lou and Sole avoid dropkicks then they get pulled out. Mike punches both outside. OB top rope flip dives the heels outside. Mike punches Sole.

Sole calls for a timeout and Mike hits more punches. Mike drops Lou with a punch. Tony Leyenda is with Sole and Lou and he trips Mike. Sole lariats Mike for 2. Lou headbutt drops Mike twice then chokes him. Lou chinlocks Mike on the ropes. Sole stomps on Mike and hits punches.

Mike fires up and hits chops. Sole throws Mike out then topes him. Tony Leyenda backdrops Mike on the apron. We go to break.

Lou Forza does a promo. Lou says he's aware that Nice and Benabe beat them once but says he and Sole won the war. Lou shows off his newly won tag title. Lou says he knows Nice and Oscar will get their rematch but says the ending will be the same. Lou says they will show that they have the perfect aura and create the perfect moments.

John Hawking does a promo. He says everyone knows Lightning's achievements. He says he's a strong opponent but you are wrong if you think Lightning will beat him. He says he's defending all of the people in the Caribbean and says the title stays with him in the WWC.

We see Orlando Toledo talk to Tony Leyenda, Amaddeo Sole and Lou Forza. Toledo says they have an important role here. Toledo says he doesn't know what's going on with Eddie Colon. He  tells Tony to keep an eye on them and to bring the titles home. He says he's upset with the Informantes. Sole says he can trust in them. They then do a cheer and pound fists.

We see Zcion RT1 tying his shoes in the back and we see Lightning watching. An Informante is filming this.

We return to the match. Tony throws Mike in and Sole gets a 2 count on Mike. Lou stomps Mike. Lou is up top and Mike 2nd rope superplexes him. Lou and Mike tag out. OB hits punches on Sole then flapjacks him for 2. 3 of the 4 end up going down with Lou being the last man standing. Nice spinebusters Lou.

Tony distracts OC and OB spears Mike on accident. Axel Cruz says it was on purpose. Lou flatliners OB then Sole pedigrees OB. Sole pins OB.

Thoughts: We had some segments during a break here but I think we saw almost all of this match. Sole and Tony winning was an upset but WWC has a small tag division, Los Inmortales vs Nice/Benabe had been done to death and the company likes Sole. Sole and Lou winning the tag titles wasn't that much of a shock. What we got was acceptable and it was just nice to see the full match. I like Mike Nice a lot as he does good promos and is good at making babyface comebacks.

Tony Leyenda celebrates with the heels after and Axel Cruz says the heels won fair and square.

La Guerrera Amazona does a promo. She says she has to be on the lookout as everyone wants her WWC Women's Title. She says she hopes Kamila does the right thing. She says Kamile knows what she is doing and asks her not to mess with her. She says this is Sai's opportunity to prove herself. She tells Amalbert to do her job. 

Joe Bravo does a promo. Joe says he feels close to the level he should be at. He says he's facing two wrestlers who look like wrestlers in Bryan and Xavant. He says he doesn't doubt their abilities, but doubts thier maturity and mental capacity. He says Bryan spits on himself when he talks and says Xavant lives in a fantasy world where he is the hero of justice. Joe says there's no one who can represent PR better than him. He says he will leave the ring with the PR title. He says he will shut Bryan's mouth and bring Xavant down from his superhero fantasy, fair or foul.

We see more of Lightning staring at Zcion RT1 from behind through Informante's cam.

Abel Durant shows us clips from the Anniversary Show. 

- Alberto El Patron misses a dropkick on Xavnt and Xavant AA's him to win. 

- We see clips of Sai Perez arriving in WWC. La Tigresa and La Guerrera Amazona are in the ring. Sai says they tried to bury her and forget the legacy of the Perez family. She says we have the past in La Tigresa and the past also in La Guerrera Amazona, but she says she's the present and future of WWC. She says she came here to take what belongs to her in the WWC Title. 

- We see clips of The Colon's vs Bryan and Chicano. Eddie is busted open and slaps Chicano. Eddie tries to spear him on the ropes but knocks Carlito off the apron and into the dumpster. Chicano superman punches Carlito into the dumpster. Bryan punches Eddie as he stands up. The Colon's have the dumpster closed on them and Chicano/Chicano win.

- We see clips of Orlando Colon vs Ray Gonzalez and I do mean, just clips. Chicano ends up hitting Ray with a chair on accident when aiming for Carlito and he costs Ray the match. Ray is pinned.  Chicano then chairs Ray on purpose. Eddie talks in the ring with Carlito, Orlando and Chicano in there. Eddie says he's the greatest and Carlito backcrackers Eddie. Carlito, Orlando and Chicano now appear to be a group.

Thoughts: I expected Bryan and Chicano to win due to them being the faces. I don't really understand why Chicano would fight Carlito in a dumpster match then join up with him right after. Carlito turning on Eddie is a problem because they are brothers and that story is always hard to pull off. I'll give it the old "wait and see" but they are going to need some major explanations to sell me on those two stories.

Zcion Rt1 does a promo. He says he promised the fans and now he's the champ. He says they will celebrate big next Saturday (he means the 18th though). He says the story between him and either Lightning or Intelecto Cinco Estrellas isn't over. He asks how he can be controlled and dominated. He says that person will live in his own hell. He tells him that he will be living in his own hell. He says he isn't coming alone to the match as he will have fans on his side. 

Eddie Colon is on the phone. He calls Andrade El Idolo. He says he needs his help and will pay him double. He says things didn't go his way at the Anniversary show and says Orlando, Chicano and Carlito will regret what they did. He tells Idolo to call back as soon as he can. He says Chicano is screwed.

Chicano does a promo. He asks if Andrade El Idolo knows what he is getting himself into. He says he, Carlito and Orlando are evolving wrestling in PR. Chicano says Idolo's flying and strong style is good, but he dominates those area's here. He says he will give him a week to reconsider the match. He says he has beaten Xavant too to become Universal champ and tells him to think things through. He says evolution separates the legends from the forgotten.

We see Zcion RT1 celebrating his title win with his dad. His dad said he told him he was going to win. RT1 heads to the bathroom and Lightning follows him. Lightning hits him from behind and bangs his head off the sink. Lightning takes off the bandage on his head, hits him in his cut and makes him bleed again. RT1 is laid out on the floor and Lightning leaves.

Axel and Abel talk to close the show. They hype up the next show. 

Overall thoughts: This is the show we should have had last Sunday. We got some clips and matches from the Anniversary show and we got some angles and promos to set up the next show. I was also pleased that we got a full match and some of another match. They basically did what they were supposed to do here, but the one place they failed is that they showed the advertisements for the next show before some of the clips of the Anniversary show were shown. So, we already knew what happened without seeing it, basically defeating the purpose of it. There was also an issue where some of the promos said the match would happen next week when the next show is 2 weeks away, so WWC accidentally aired some promos earlier than they should have. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as it was a much better show than usual. This was okay and one of the better WWC shows as of late. 

NWA Powerrr 7/4/2026

NWA Powerrr 7/4/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/nwa-powerrr-6272026.html

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

Joe Galli welcomes us to the show with The Slimeballz. Sage wishes everyone a 4th of July. Rant asks Joe for a kiss and Joe says no.

Alex Taylor vs Tony Leyenda

Tony's from WWC and is making his NWA debut. I'm pretty sure Idol has been scouting WWC on his trips to Puerto Rico as Elena Negroni also got a tryout with the NWA recently.

AT takes down Tony and spins on his back. AT says he might be the greatest. Tony waistlock takedowns him and slaps him around in the back of the head. They block each others hiptosses and AT lariats him. AT hits corner spears.

Tony suplexes Alex for 2. Tony hits mounted corner punches. AT escapes and backcrackers him. AT hits mounted shots and foot chokes him. AT pulls Tony's neck forward. Tony 2nd rope superplexes him.

Tony hits punches and hits flying forearms. Tony backdrops AT then neckbreakers him for 2. AT spinning fisherman neckbreakers him then cradle shocks him to win.

Thoughts: AT won as expected. Tony is usually heel so it was interesting to see him work face for a change. He's better as a heel though. It was short and nothing too special. 

Kyle Davis interviews Mims, The Pope and the two guys in white masks in the ring. Pope says he has done everything right and it has gotten him nowhere. He says now, they are entering a new phase and era. He says him and Mims aren't just walking in the light, they are walking with the light. Pope says it's not an invitation but it's putting everyone on notice. He says we will all walk with the light on this day forward. Pope says the masked guys are The Light. Kyle gives the mic to Mims to talk but Mims rejects it.

Mims and The Pope vs Carnage and Cristiano Argento

Pope and Mims attack from behind. CA's head is banged off the buckles. CA forearms Pope. Carn pounds on Mims. Pope hits Carn from behind and Carn no sells it. Mims clips Carn and Pope step up enzugiri's Carn. 

Mims headbutts Carn down. Mims hits Carn in the gut. Carn takes a double back elbow. Pope elbow drops Carn. Pope boots Carn in the head. Pope rams him Carn in the corner and Mims/Pope boot Carn there. 

Carn is hit with a double suplex. Pope knee drops Carn then cheap shots CA on the apron. Pope and Mims stomp Carn. Mims boots Carn. Mims charges into Carn and is kicked. CA comes in and hits lariats on his opponents. CA slams Mims. CA backdrops Mims. Pope spinebusters CA. 

Pope uppercuts CA and drops him. Mims flying double knees CA from behind. Pope tags in Mims. Mims goes for the pin but CA is not the legal man. Carn then dropkicks Mims and pins Mims.

Thoughts: The finish was dumb as Damage tagged in, the heels didn't know and tried to pin Argento when he wasn't legal. I still don't really get what they are doing with Pope and Mims here. Even kayfabe wise, this partnership is absolutely not working and since these two originally didn't like each other to begin with, it doesn't make sense for them to keep it going. Carn and CA are a makeshift team until Damage returns and I was surprised to see them win here. This may be CA's first win ever here. Carnage is a decent talent and him getting to do anything is basically an upgrade. This wasn't that good.

PB Smooth, Hayden Backlund and Pastor C-Lo do a promo. PB asks if we know who King Trevor is. PB says he beat Trevor in under 5 minutes. PB says they will eradicate his family tree. 

TV-MA do a promo. Tiff says they are part of the 0.0001% and it makes her the best at everything. She says she's the women's champ and says Markova is egotistical. They talk about Markova and her partner. Tiff says she was TV champ first. She says Markova doesn't get a 1v1 but gets her and Gretta.

El Dragon Nihan is interviewed by Kyle Davis in the ring. Kyle asks where Brandon McCord is. Nihan says he told Thom Latimer but he didn't want to listen. He says not every story has a happy ending. He says Thom will be a slave to fear and pain and the past. He says Thom will worship at his feet. He says Thom called him a brother and friend but didn't know him. Nihan says he showed him who he is and says he will soon show all of us who he is. He then talks in Spanish.

It's Me...The Carson Drake Experience

Richard Adonis is interviewed. Drake asks about his loss to The Pope last week. Adonis says The Light cost him the match. He says it's not done with them. Drake says he feels like people look up to him here. Drake says the most important skill in wrestling is to be well read. He insults him and says he doesn't seem rich despite being named Rich. Adonis tells him to put his money where his mouth is and face him in the ring. Drake says he accepts. He says some guests are so unruly.

Damian Fenrir vs Vin Parker

They lock up and trade waistlocks. Vin armdrags DF twice. Vin side headlocks him. DF dropkicks him. DF gorilla presses him but Vin escapes. Vin flying headscissors him and poses. Vin monkey flips him but DF lands on his feet and poses. Vin upkicks him and rolls him up for 2.

Vin backslides DF for 2. DF does a delayed suplex on him for 2. Vin clubs on DF. DF chops him. Vin spinning sitout torture rack bombs him for 2. DF headflips out of a headlock driver. DF knees him in the head. DF hits splash mountain on him and pins him.

Thoughts: DF won as expected. I was fine with this, though I didn't like the headflip out of the headlock driver. These are two young guys who have some potential and have bright future's ahead of them. It's nice to see DF get featured here some as he's worthy of it. This was acceptable.

Natalia Markova and her partner does a promo for tonight's main event. Nat says she will choose a good stipulation when she faces Tiffany Nieves. She says Tiff has no chance against her in a fair fight.

Mims, Pope and The Light are in the back. Mims asks what happened out there. Mims said Pope had the match won and asks why he tagged him in. Pope says he wants Mims to get the glory as he doesn't need it. Mims says Pope told them this was a team effort and they were doing this together. Mims says the light only shines on Pope and asks if it will ever shine on him. Pope says they will calm down and talk about it later as they are family.

I will not be covering the main event unfortunately and I apologize for that. Natalia Markova and Tiffany Nieves both could get their stipulation of choice for their upcoming title match if they won. Nat wanted a lights out match and we were told Tiff wanted a 2/3 falls match. Gretta ended up getting her team DQ'd by choking Markova which was pretty stupid. The fight continued after the bout and Gretta chokeslamed Markova through a table.

During the break in the main event, we went to the NWA Taining Seminar. Silas Mason says Kerry Morton will be here next week. He says Kerry stabbed him in the back and will have to pay. Bryan Idol says he hears him. He says he can't wait to get his hands on Mike Mondo in the back. He says Mike is always in his business and he wants to beat him to end it. Silas says it's time they handle their business. Mike Mondo and Aron Stevens were watching this whole convo behind Idol. 

Magic Jake Dumas also did a video during the break in the main. He talks about walking with old gods and ruined cities. He says we will all die one day and he will deserve it. He says everyday will end but says may magic rain forever. He says may the sun never rise again. The graphic says he returns next week. 

Overall thoughts: Of what I saw, it was the usual NWA Powerrr episode. Most of the matches were random and we had some random wrestlers here as usual. None of the matches were that great. We had some storyline developmental at least. Taylor/Leyenda was short. We had a dumb finish in the Mims tag match. Fenrir/Parker was acceptable and I didn't see the main. I wouldn't recommend this one and would give it a 4 out of 10 overall. It was a little below average.

Ring of Honor on HonorClub 7/3/2026 

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/ring-of-honor-on-honorclub-6252026.html

Caprice Coleman & Ian Riccaboni are on commentary.

Hook vs Nick Comoroto

Hook shoves him. Nick backs him up in the corner and clean breaks him. Hook takes him down. Nick trips him and Hook hides between the ropes. Hook hits punches and chops on Nick. Nick exploders him . Nick skins the cat when thrown out. Nick uppercuts Hook.

Hook trips Nick. Hook exploders him for 2. Hook hits gut punches in the corner. Hook flying double axe handles him and sentons him for 2. Nick double underhook suplexes him. Nick corner splashes him and powerslams him for 2. Nick misses a senton and Hook does red rum on the mat. Nick submits.

Thoughts: The big man would usually be favored in a match like this, but in AEW, the big guy always loses. It wasn't that good as  Hook had trouble throwing around Nick and most of his offense is suplexes. Hook won in a shorter match here.

We get a Mark Sterling/Premier Athletes video. 

Mark Sterling talks before his team's match. He puts over his crew except for Beef. He says he nominated his team for a Noble Peace Prize for doing charity work by teaming with Beef. He says that's miracle work. He then tries to get the crowd to join in on the cheer.

BEEF & The Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese) vs. Aaron Dallas, Keagan Garland & LJ Cleary

KG is the son of Scotty 2 Hotty and they play 2 Cool's theme for him.

Thoughts: It was a short squash. They had a lot they could have done with Beef and The Athletes here, but didn't explore the concept much at all. I'm fine with putting Beef with The Athletes as it has a lot of potential for entertainment, but how over it gets depends on how much they focus on it. It's not clear why The Athletes are even teaming with Beef when they don't like him.

We see Athena talking about Maya World at Forbidden Door. She says she belongs at the back of line.

Hyan & Maya World vs. Robyn Renegade & Trish Adora

TA shoves Hyan. Hyan back elbows her, bangs TA's head off her knee and snap suplexes her. Hyan rolls TA then TA cradles her. Maya superkicks TA. Maya and Hyan do stereo low topes outside. TA hits flying corner attacks. Hyan spinning headscissors Maya into TA in the corner.

Hyan and RR hockey fight. RR superkicks her. Hyan takes a superkick + suplex combo for 2. Maya cutters TA. Maya germans RR. Maya shining wizards RR and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a little hard to follow as the action got fast near the end. It was alright and not boring here. Hyan had some nice spears. I don't know if or when Robyn has last won a match here.

The Premier Athletes and Beef are interviewed. Beef is asked about picking up the win. Ari interrupts Beef before he can answer and says it's time Beef pulled his weight here. Nese says they fought 3 of the best up and comers in ROH and won. Mark says they won 2v3 basically. Mark tells Beef to say they want a 6-man title shot and says it was the worst promo ever. Mark asks Ari to show him how its done, then Ari says the same thing. Nese says that's how you act like a Premier Athlete. Nee then goes to do the Athletes Rule line but Beef jumps the gun.

We get a Lio Rush video with him goofing around with the ROH TV Title.

Action Andretti vs Alex Reynolds

AA eye rakes him on the buckles then stunners him over the top rope. AA springboard 450's AR and pins him.

Thoughts: It was an alright bout here. AA's stunner over the top rope was an interesting move as AR was seated on the 2nd buckle. Alex was fine as usual here and it had a decent bit of action for being a lower level match.

AA running facekicks AR after. AA grabs a chair and John Silver chases AR away. AR argues with the fans. Lio Rush comes out with his umbrella. AA charges at him and but Lio tries to poke him with the umbrella. AA leaves as The Dark Order back up AA as well.

Thoughts: It was a squash. AO won as expected here. It wasn't too much of note. KG's a little unorthodox and rough and it didn't quite work here. 

Caprice Coleman does a sit down interview with The Infantry and Trish Adora. The Infantry talk about them hosting a July 4th ROH show a while back. Dean says he was in the US Navy. Trish says she was in the Army. Bravo says he was in the Marine Core.

Coleman says the people don't respect The Infantry the way they deserve. Bravo says they are dangerous and you can't make it like they did without rigidness. Bravo leaves the interview and grabs a US flag. He then has his buddies hold it too. Bravo says they have intel on every wrestler in AEW and ROH and are ahead of everyone. 

Cassie Lee vs. Zayda Steel

Zy offers a handshake and Cass accepts without much enthusiasm. Cass starts laughing. She backs up Zay in the corner. Cass side headlocks Zay then side headlock takeovers her. Zay headscissors her then waistlock takedowns her. Zay then paintbrush slaps her neck.

Thoughts: Both girls had a shot at winning here which was nice. Cass was a lot better than usual as she cut out some of the stuff she doesn't hit well and stuck to stuff she could do well. It was just average but it was much better than the disaster it could have been.

Action Andretti does a promo. He says he should be ROH TV champ. He says he took his frustration out on Alex Reynolds tonight and says he'd be in a hospital bed if it wasn't for John Silver. He says Lio got in his way too. He says he will beat Lio with his umbrella the next time he gets in way and will make sure his reign as champ comes to an end.

ROH Tag Titles - LFI (The Beast Mortos and Sammy Guevara) (c) vs Mistico and Mascara Dorada

This is from CMLL 6/26. Mist had angel's wings on for his entrance.

They take a while to get going. MD armdrags SG then flying headscissors him out. Mort pounces MD then Mist top rope diving headscissors Mort. Mist and MD hit stereo topes outside. Mort shoulders the faces over. SG tornillo dives the faces outside. Mist is thrown into the rails.

Thoughts: It was alright. The heels stuck to the basics for the most part then the faces made their comeback. They did overdo it a little but the tag format covered some of the issues. I thought this could have been a little shorter. I figured Mistico's team would win here as it only made sense.

Overall thoughts: It was your usual ROH show. The matches were random. The tag champs were the only champs in action...but their match was taped and held in a different promotion so that doesn't really count. The matches were acceptable overall but nothing you really need to see. I wouldn't recommend this one and would give it a 5 out of 10. It was average overall.

Thoughts: Polvora's team got a rare trios win here. It was just average for the most part. Both of these teams are usually heels so I didn't expect anything great out of it. Cobarde's team was more face-like, but not quite enough to really make this work.

Polvora talks on the mic after and says they beat their opponents in the center of the ring. Pol demand a trios title match due to it. Polvora says "yes?" to the crowd and the crowd says, "no". Felino gets on the mic and says he wasn't beaten fair and square. Felino says they accept the challenge though.

Pers says she's nobody and Pers says she is the champ. Pers says if she gives her a title shot, it'll be when she feels like it. The mic cuts out.

Thoughts: Vol was not good early here and had some bad kicks that didn't hit. He warmed up a little as it got on. Flip basically did most of the work with random flips. They had a lot of move that didn't really connect. It was kind a face vs face match and I just thought it was so-so. Vol had short trunks on with a tanktop shirt that didn't look good.

Claudio Castagnoli does a video. He says he will be back on July 10th to face Blue Panther. 

Atlantis & El Sky Team (Mascara Dorada & Mistico) vs. Hechicero & Los Hermanos Chavez (Angel de Oro & Niebla Roja)

Thoughts: The heels don't win these a lot and do need a win now and then, so they got it here. It was fine enough with Mist doing his usual moveset and them carrying the load for Atlantis. Atlantis didn't do a ton, but he had an okay outing here.

Oro gets on the mic after and says he likes it when everyone boos him. He says they beat the faces in the ring and says Mist just won a title last week that interests him. Oro says they want to become triple tag champs. Roja says they made 29 defenses of their tag titles. They say they give everyone a shot at their titles and says Mist and MD have to give them a shot at their titles. 

Mist agrees to a match for next week. He says they want a rematch for the CMLL Tag Titles though. Oro and Roja go to shake the faces hands, then boot them and unmask them. 

The announcer then talks to close the show.

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show with close to 2.5 hours of action. The opener was good. The second and third matches weren't that different from each other but the third match was a little better. The women's match was average. Flip/Volador didn't deliver and the main was okay. I'd say the opener was the best match of the night and the main was the second best. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was an average show, but they definitely did build some things up there for future shows.

WWE Smackdown 7/3/2026

WWE Smackdown 7/3/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/wwe-smackdown-6262026.html

Note - The show is back to being 2 hours after being 3 hours for half the year.

We are in Atlantic City, NJ. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary.

Sami Zayn comes out. He says the reactions he got for winning the title has touched him. He says the whole thing is funny though as he's been booed for the last 6 months. Sami says he could be petty and tell everyone to kiss his @ss but he won't because he's a good guy. Sami says he won the title because he never changed.

Sami says no one is touching this and tells both of them to stay away from him.

Sami goes to leave and Adam Pearce comes out. Adam says he's the acting GM with Nick being out due to his altercation with Gunther. Adam says his first order of business is to find Sami a challenger. Sami says he should have a say as to his opponent at Summerslam. Adam says, who said anything about Summerslam? Adam says Nick might do that, but he's here and we do it his way. Adam says Sami will defend his title on Raw. Adam says we will have a #1 contender when Cody faces Jey tonight.

Thoughts: It was a great segment. I loved seeing Sami spit Cody's words back at him and him saying the title is still with Bloodline essentially was interesting. Adam playing hardball with Sami also added to this. This was very soap opera-esque and it worked out well.

Thoughts: The match wasn't much as expected. Brie still can't do her own offense that great after all of this. Brie was dumb for letting the crossface go when she had Fallon trapped.

The two have worked together and know what to do against each other. Cody was definitely the favorite to win and pulled it off. Him vs Sami should be interesting.

Overall thoughts: It was a better show at 2 hours. They didn't waste as much time and the segments got to the point better. The opening segment was good. The women's trios match was acceptable. I hated Fenix/Vikingo. Brie/Reid wasn't that good and the main was an alright bout. I also found the R-Truth segment funny. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and thought it was an okay show overall.
