We see wrestlers arrive and hangout.

The Kabuki Warriors do a visit. Asuka says Iyo choose her fake family in Rhea over her. She says she's the one who brought her success in WWE and says she forgot this. She asks how it's been since she dedicated herself to Rhea. She says she's nothing. She says she tried to corrupt Kairi too. Kairi says she beat her last week and they will beat her again this week.

Sol Ruca comes out and interrupts. Sol says she's been watching her and says she's an inspiration to her. She says it taught her that Liv is the top woman in this division. She congratulates her. Liv says thanks and says she has some nerve to interrupt her championship celebration. Liv tells her she is no Liv Morgan. She tells her she can save herself and get out of her ring right now. Sol says she didn't come to pick a fight but won't back down from one.

Thoughts: It was a good showcase for Sol. She matches up well with Liv and gave her one of her better bouts. Sol didn't lose clean either so it saves her the loss. Sol should be fine on the main roster. 

Liv celebrates in the aisle. Stephanie Vaquer comes out and stares her down. 

We get a video on Brock Lesnar's career.

The Vision come out. We go to break and return. Paul says his favorite part of Mania is expecting the unexpected. He says yesterday was a moment that was so unexpected that'll live in his and others hearts for the rest of their lives. He says CM Punk was kissing @ss earlier.

He says he's not the now but will forever be the baddest that will be in the ring.  

Heyman says WWE's tag division is resurging thanks to Austin and Logan. Logan gets booed every time he tries to talk. He says The Uso's and LA won at Mania due to the backstabbing weasel IShowSpeed. Logan says he's tired of youtubers and outsiders coming into the business and doing what they do. He says nothing at Mania mattered as Speed left this weekend with a piece of his fist in face. Logan says he and Austin also kept their tag titles.

Heyman thanks Gunther for the favor. He says he thanks him and owes him. He says he will repay anytime. He says the best assist of the weekend belongs to Bron Breakker.

Bron Breakker comes out. He says he became the leader of The Vision one year ago because Seth Rollins was too weak. He says his favorite part of Mania was him ruining Seth's chance at beating Gunther. He says he hopes Seth is watching somewhere as he will be coming after him and will attack him.

Seth Rollins comes out and nails The Vision with a chair. Austin punches Seth down. Logan hits Seth in the gut as Seth gets held.

The Street Profits come out without shirts on. They attack The Vision and send them out. Ford tope con hilos out. The Profits then beat up Austin and Logan in the crowd. Bron is bleeding from the head somehow and Seth pounds on Bron. Seth stomps him then Bron spears him. Bron rips up Seth's shirt

He says he never needed him and says the people will remember him as a shell of what he used to be. Bron spears him again.

Thoughts: We'll have to find out what The Profits were here for. Bron got really busted open somehow during this.

JD McDonaugh does a promo. He says it's time for Finn to get serious. He says him and Finn are supposed to be family but Finn changed so much. He says Finn took cues from Punk. JD says Finn cost them gold. He says it was easy turning on him and he'd do it again. He says he will show the old Finn Balor is dead.

Thoughts: It was a more brief match but it was a decent battle with them brawling and doing some flying. I liked this.

Dominik Mysterio jumps Finn after. Finn john woo's him in the corner and Dom runs. 

Gunther is interviewed. He says he feels good and proved everything he said by beating Seth. He says he is not connected with Paul Heyman but says Paul owes him a favor. Gunther says everyone should get comfortable seeing the title around his waist soon. 

LA Knight comes in and congratulates him. LA says Gun isn't the only one with eyes on the title. He says Gun needed help from others to win at Mania.

Rhea talks to Iyo. She tells her to handle her business here. Rhea says she will be the champ on SD. Rhea then walks past Liv and Liv says something about seeing her around. Rhea says she's looking to it.

Roman Reigns arrives in a car and heads to the ring.

Roman sees The Uso's on his way to the ring and tells them to come with him. Roman tells the fans to acknowledge him. He says they need to discuss some family business first. He says he missed having their trust and missed doing business with them. He says they are seperated and scattered and weak like this. He says Jey changed the environment and has washed rapped running their mouths at him. Roman says when they are together, they ran the business for 4 years straight. Roman says he's not asking to serve him but to stand with him. Jimmy says he will always be their tribal chief. Jimmy says they will always be the 1's. They raise their fingers.

Jacob Fatu interrupts and comes to the ring. Roman says it's been a while since he has seen him. He says there's only a few  reasons he could be here and he assumed it's to acknowledge him. Fat says that's not it. Roman says then he guesses it's because Fatu wants his title. Fatu says he doesn't want the title, he needs that title. He says he's not out here to be tribal chief, but he needs everything the tribal cheif has. He says he needs the show deal, the private jet, the rolex, a bigger house and more vehicles. He says he will do everything for his family even if he has to go through him. He says at Backlash, he's levelling up and upgrading his household. He says Roman will learn he's all gas and no breaks with it.

Roman says he wants those things for him too. He says maybe Fatu can beat him. He asks if he can handle the burden of the title. He says if he can't, can he handle the burden to acknowledge him. He says it's thin air up here at the top of the mountain. He says he will give him the rest of the week to think about it and says he's not sure if he's ready. He calls him little cousin and will give him until next week.

Thoughts: And this was the problem with Roman winning the title - Fatu Family Theater is back in session and it's only been one day. It'll help out The Anoai's, but it's not going to be a good time for the Bron Breakker's and the Oba Femi's of the world who aren't made men yet.

Overall thoughts: It was a great Raw and it brought back some memories of when the Raw after Mania was the best Raw of the year. All the stars were out, we got some new main roster debuts and had some good wrestling. This was what WWE needed after an awful Night 1 of Mania. We got some clear programs set up and things are getting shaken up fast. I'd give this a 7 out of 10.

All Japan Pro Wrestling 4/18/2026 Champion Carnival 2026 Day 2

All Japan Pro Wrestling 4/18/2026 Champion Carnival 2026 Day 2

I do not like the set up they have for this one at all. The camera is very far away for some reason and the crowd is so dense that it's hard to get any heat.

Atsuki Aoyagi, Rising HAYATO, Shota Kofuji, Kengo Mashimo & Seiki Yoshioka vs Shotaro Ashino, Hokuto Omori, Ryo Inoue, Hiroki Murase & Jack Kennedy

It was just a quick one with everyone getting a segment in and not a lot else. Kengo and Ashino had the best segment here. There was way too many people and not enough time. Aoyagi ended up winning this with a 450 on Ryo, because even though Murase barely work here, he had to be protected over Ryo. 

Champion Carnival 2026 Block B Match - Ren Ayabe vs Xyon

They lock up and let go. Xyon side headlocks him. They collide and Ren hits some forearms. Xyon back elbows him then Ren facekicks him down. Ren corner facekicks Xyon then shoulders him over. Xyon headbutts Ren then flying forearms him. Ren flying neckbreakers him for 2. Ren crabs him.

Xyon goes on the buckles and Ren throws him down. Ren shotgun dropkicks him. Ren hits his spinning sitout falcon arrow and pins him.

Thoughts: I didn't expect much out of this but I liked it. Xyon and Ren somehow got some decent stuff out of each other and made it work. I think it was because it didn't go too long and they stuck to strikes. I was genuinely surprised by this and did not have this one on my bingo card. 

Champion Carnival 2026 Block A Match - Oddyssey vs Rei Saito

Odd dances at him. They lock up and let go. They hockey fight. They run at each other and shoulder each other down. Odd goes out. They shoulder battle outside and Odd knocks him over. Odd chops him against the rail. Odd's back is rammed into the apron. 

Rei elbow drops him as he rolls back in. Rei then splashes him. Rei butt drops him for 2. Odd back body drops him. Odd hits elbows in the corner and corner lariats him. Odd hits a headbutt flurry. They collide with lariats. Rei hits 2 crossbodies.

They trade shots. Rei hits a chop flurry in the corner. Rei shoulders him over for 2. Rei misses a shotei and is backdropped. Rei slaps him. Odd lariats him over. Odd 2nd rope splashes him and wins.

Thoughts: It was what it should have been. They had a hoss style match with them trying to squash each other and them trading various strikes. They could have been more aggressive and stiffer, but they the idea right and I was fine with it.  

Champion Carnival 2026 Block B Match - Daisuke Sekimoto vs Hideki Suzuki

They grapple to start. Suzuki wristlocks him. DS reverses it. DS cravates him and hammerlocks him. Suzuki chinlocks him. Suzuki hits a euro and DS dropkicks him out. DS goes for a tope and is hit with a forearm.

DS hits downward elbows and chest kicks. Suzuki pulls DS' arms backwards. DS hits a big lariat for 2. Suzuki dropkicks him then is lariated. DS AA's him with a bodypress and wins.

Thoughts: They basically squeezed like a 20 minute long main into a 10 minute match. It was an old school bout with them trading holds and was traditional pro wrestling. It wasn't bad. 

Seigo Tachibana, Kuma Arashi & MUSASHI vs Dan Tamura, Yuma Anzai & Talos

Dan and Seigo lock up. Seigo forearms him and side headlocks him. Dan boots him then Seigo armdrags and dropkicks him. Dan shoulders him over. Tal and Musashi get in.

Dan is hit with a forearm to the back of the head then a running elbow. Seigo then pins Dan.

Thoughts: It was a throwaway but wasn't that bad as they let Seigo have some fun with Talos involving their size differences. Everyone mostly did what they should have here and it was nice to see Seigo get a win. 

Champion Carnival 2026 Block B Match - Yuma Aoyagi vs Jun Saito

They lock up and Jun clean breaks him. Jun wristlocks him and headlocks him. Jun shoulders him over. Yuma sits up top and Jun boots him down and out. Jun double axe handles Yuma then sends him into the rails. Jun knocks him down outside and Yuma sends him into the rails.

Yuma top rope elbow drops him twice for 2. Yuma grounded guillotines him. Yuma adds a kimura onto it and Jun submits.

Thoughts: It wasn't the most exciting bout. It had some logic to it with Yuma working Jun's injured pec and eventually winning with a hold that affected it some. I didn't love it and thought it was average. Yuma's starpower got really hurt by his outside of the ring incident and them throwing him in the CC as a replacement.

Champion Carnival 2026 Block B Match - Madoka Kikuta vs Ryuki Honda

They lock up. MK is backed up on the ropes and Honda clean breaks him. MK backs him up on the ropes. Honda side headlocks him. They shoulder battle and Honda knocks him over. MK is sent into the post. Honda wraps MK's arm around the rail. MK eye rakes him then hip attacks him against the rails.

Honda grabs the arm off a missed lariat so MK lariats him with the other arm. MK running lariats him for 2. MK spinning lariats Honda and pins him.

Thoughts: It was alright. It would have been best if they just had a hoss match where they lariated and stiffed each other. Instead, they did some of that and had Honda working MK's arm which wasn't as exciting. I still like what we got in the end though and they did try to add some extra logic to the match. 

Champion Carnival 2026 Block A Match - Go Shiozaki vs Kento Miyahara

They lock up. Go backs him up on the ropes and clean breaks him. Go wristlocks Ken. Go trips him then Ken hammerlocks him. Ken slaps him on another break then facekicks him out. They fight outside.

Go hits a go flasher for 2. Ken flying knees Go. Ken pumping knees him for 2. Ken flying pumping knees him then Go lariats him for 2. Go running lariats him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a bit formulaic and not overly exciting. Go did a lot of rest holds and chops. Ken brought the flying knees and headbutts. It ended up being okay in the end but it's mostly because they are long time established main eventers.

Go talks on the mic after.

Overall thoughts: The opener was a throwaway. I didn't expect much out of Xyon vs Ren but they somehow got the best out of each other. Oddyssey/Rei was what it should have been. We got a condensed version of Sekimoto/Suzuki and it wasn't bad. The trios match with Talos was alright. I thought Yuma/Jun was average. Kikuta/Honda wasn't 100% the match I wanted but they added some logic to what they usually did and it was an alright match. The main was a bit formulaic and mostly worked because of the rep both guys had. It wasn't overly exciting but they got the flow right by the end. My review probably makes the show look better than it was. It was a good show overall due to everything mostly being acceptable but it wasn't great. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

Thoughts: It went a little longer than needed but it was a fun match with a lot of flying. The two worked pretty well together and I'd be up for a rematch. Yut definitely got some of the best work Esfinge has out of him.

Thoughts: I didn't like the tower of doom spot was Star got his partner superplexed. It ended at about the right time otherwise and was a decent bout. Star didn't do a lot of usual reverse topes and such here.

Mist springboard twisting crossbodies Vol. Vol blocks la mistica and sends Mist into the ref. Vol pulls off Mist's mask and cradles him. Vol pins Mist. Volador Jr.'s team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: Things got weird here as the ref was basically acting like a heel ref for unknown reasons. CMLL doesn't usually do the heel ref thing by he was very close to being one. That ended up affecting the finish here and Vol ended up winning dirty. I wouldn't say it was anyone's best work and it was more of a heel dominated match. It was just average.

Overall thoughts: The opener was good and was the best thing on the show. The second match was decent. The main was marred by shenanigans with the ref and was just average. I'd give this one a 5 out of 10 and wouldn't really recommend it. It was an average show.

WWE Wrestlemania 42 Night 2 4/19/2026

WWE Wrestlemania 42 Night 2 4/19/2026

Night 1 is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/wwe-wrestlemania-42-night-1-4182026.html

We are still in Las Vegas, Nevada. Michael Cole and Wade Barrett are on commentary.

Last night was one of the worst shows WWE ever put on and tonight can't possibly be worse.

We see taped clips of wrestlers arriving and hanging out.  

John Cena comes out to talk. He says they've made history and talks about Mania being on ESPN. He says we need to start with something big and welcomes us to the show. They then shoot off some fireworks.

Brock Lesnar vs Oba Femi

Oba gets big pops and a large chant. Brock has Paul Heyman with him. Paul takes the mic away from the ring announcer and does the intro for Brock.

They lock up and Brock shoves him off. Oba then shoves him off the lock up. Brock drives him in the corner and hits corner spears. Oba no sells it and shoves him down. Brock lariats him and Oba no sells it. Oba lariats Brock down. Brock goes out and looks frustrated.

Brock grabs the steps but puts them down. Oba grabs Brock by the hair then Oba's throat is pulled over the 2nd rope. Oba is rammed back first into the post. Oba is sent into the steps. Brock hits some germans. Oba hits back elbows then running euros him twice. Brock F-5's him. 

Oba gets back up and chokeslams Brock. Oba pop-up sitout powerbombs Brock and pins him.

Thoughts: Oba basically squashed Brock here. It was a decision and definitely one of their options. I'm not sure if I would have done it though. The match didn't go very long which I expected and it wasn't quite as explosive as I hoped. I thought they buried Brock a little here. They had the right idea and it looks like it's all systems go on the Oba mega push. 

Brock looks up at the sky and takes off his boots and gloves. Paul hugs Brock. Brock leaves with his stuff in the ring signifying he's done.

Thoughts: Well, credit to Brock for doing the job here if this is it. I'm not sure why they didn't push that this was Brock's retirement match, but maybe that's how he wanted it. Since it's not totally official, he could come back if he decides to. Brock had a really weird career. He left during his prime and I always thought him leaving when he did hurt his development. Because he was never around full-time, there were a lot of avenues they never really got to explore with him. In some cases that was good, and in some it wasn't. He kind of became a limited guy in his second WWE run but his star power, real life and look made up for it. I thought them giving him Taker's streak was a mistake as he's Brock Lesnar and he really didn't need it. Brock's mostly been a final boss type of guy over the last few years who would appear for big stuff when they needed him and then go away for a while. WWE's really going to miss him. WWE losing Cena, Brock and AJ all within a few months each other is a pretty tough hill to overcome. Those are going to be some hard guys to replace and I don't know if that can really happen in 2026. Brock was my favorite wrestler at various points in his career and I found him to be an inspiration. Him leaving is definitely an end to an era.

WWE Intercontinental Title - Ladder Match - Penta (c) vs. Je'Von Evans vs. Dragon Lee vs. JD McDonagh vs. Rusev vs. Rey Mysterio

JD, Lee and Rusev didn't get their entrances aired. Penta has a Shao Khan style entrance mask on with Mortal Kombat II logos. 

JD clips Evans then stomps him. Penta jumps off a ladder and springboard plancha's Rusev. Penta superkicks JD. JD is triple teamed by the luchadores in the corner. Rusev pulls Rey out and sends him into the steps Rusev has a ladder slid into him. Rusev blocks dives with a ladder.

Rey's headscissors off the ladder is caught and he is hit with a style's clash. JD spanish flies Lee off the ladder. 

JD and Penta fight on the ladder. Penta canadian destroyers JD onto a bridged ladder. Evans grabs the title but Rusev pushes the ladder over. Evans is then pulled down and thrown out. Rusev climbs a ladder. Evans top rope diving cutters him off the ladder. Penta jumps off the ladder and canadian destroyers Evans. Penta then climbs the ladder and retrieves the title to win.

Thoughts: It was a bit rushed early on like due to being on ESPN. I felt they gave us enough here but a few more minutes would have made the pace a little better. Penta and Rey were the favorites here and Penta pulled it off. It was an entertaining bout with some cool spots and they didn't overdo it or do anything too wildly dangerous. This was good.

WWE United States Title - Sami Zayn (c) vs. Trick Williams

Lil' Yachty does an intro for Trick. Trick is on a rotating box. Trick has a super long jacket that extends the whole ramp and looks like toilet paper. 

They trade shots to start. Sami running lariats him and gets booed. Sami hits mounted corner punches. Sami lariats Trick over the top. Trick hits lariats and a leg lariat on Sami. Trick backhands him and jumping neckbreakers him.

Trick uranage's him for 2. Sami facekicks him and blue thunders him for 2. Sami stomps him in the corner then hits mounted shots. Trick is on the ropes and Sami stomps away. Yachty then gets hit from behind by Sami. Yachty is sent into the rails.

Trick is pushed into the post and Sami bangs Trick's head off of it. Sami brainbusters Trick on the apron and Trick lands hard. Sami running helluva kicks him outside. Trick comes in and gets stomped. Yachty grabs Sami and pulls his throat over the top rope. Trick spinning facekicks Sami. Sami rolls up Trick for 2. Sami exploders Trick into the buckles. Trick hits a trick shot knee and wins.

Thoughts: It wasn't exactly the stand out performance Trick needed. Trick got whooped for a lot of this as Sami acted like a heel grizzled vet. It was just average to so-so with Trick winning as expected. I don't know why WWE wants Sami to be heel so bad but it's working and not for the better.

Street Fight - Finn Balor vs Dominik Mysterio

Dom came out on a throne with a bunch of people in Rey Mysterio Sr. masks. Finn came out as The Demon with a fake heart and black and red lights and streamers. He also had pink smoke and a stick with a sharp pointy ball on it. Dom looks scared before the match.

Dom chairs Finn. Another slim jim table is brought in. Finn lariats Dom then chairs him. Finn puts a chair around Dom's head and shotgun dropkicks him into the buckles. Dom is put on a table and Finn top rope double stomps him through it. Finn then pins him.

Thoughts: It was an okay hardcore bout here. There was nothing too memorable but we got some table bumps and some athleticism before going home. I'm curious to see where things go for Dom here. They kind of have to try him in the main at some point and I'm wondering if this is it. This got enough time.

WWE Women's Title - Jade Cargill (c) vs. Rhea Ripley

They have a fan doing commentary for this as he bought an expensive travel package. That's so cheesy to do that at Mania.

Jade has some off entrance outfit on that looks like long hair or cloth curled up.

They lock up and Jade backs her up on the ropes. Jade shoves her and shoulders her over. Jade slams her. Rhea superkicks her in the gut and drops her chest first on the mat. Rhea baseball slides her out. Jader powerslams her for 2. Jade boots her in the corner and throws her out.

Thoughts: It was average as expected. Jade doesn't have a lot of personality or spirit in the ring and along with her average work, it's not super exciting. Rhea won as expected here an Iyo go to make an appearance off of it.  

John Cena comes out to talk. He says tonight's attendance is 55,255 and says they drew 106,072 over both nights. He says this concludes his duties as your host and wants to thank everyone.

The Miz interrupts with Kit Wilson. Miz says Cena left a hole in the fans' hearts that he had to fill. Miz says he's the locker room leader now. He says he didn't get his Mania moment last year and won't leave until he gets it tonight. Cena shakes his hand and asks who Kit is. Cena tells Miz to go and have his moment. 

Miz goes to talk and Danhausen comes out with midgets in Danhasuen costumes. Dan comes out in a coffin car they call "The Danhausenmobile". The midgets dance in the ring. Dan says he has finally made it to Wrestlemaniahausen. He says he has something to say to Cena. He shakes Cena's hand and says he's a huge fan.

Miz says not to shake Cena's hand. Miz says Cena's turning Mania into a circus. He says if he wanted to see Wizard of Oz, he would have went down the street. Kit calls the midgets toxic and faceshoves one of them. Kit then gyrates. A midget punches Kit in the groin. The midgets then all attack Kit. Dan hits Miz in the crotch. Dan then does his own version of the five knuckle shuffle. Miz is then carried to the back by the midgets. Dan does the "you can't see me" taunt to Cena. He shoots off smoke then we see him crawl under the ring. Cena says the main event is next.

Thoughts: They didn't do much with the host concept here. Cena did two opening speeches and then this only.

World Heavyweight Championship - CM Punk (c) vs. Roman Reigns

 

Roman gets an opera singer with a band for his entrance. He also has photos of his relatives on the tron. Punk's old misera theme played for his entrance. We saw him sitting on top of the stadium and saw photos of his career. Punk came out, his music cut off and he does his "it's clobberin' time" line. Punk's normal music then hit. Punk has a white jacket on with a Harley Race crown and the names of some people who had passed away.

Roman lays on the commentary table. Punk goes up top and Roman grabs him. They fight on the apron and elbow each other in the head. Punk hangs in tree of woe outside.

Punk hits elbow drops. Roman is put on the commentary table. Punk then top rope elbow drops him through it. Punk hits a GTS inside. Roman falls into position for a 2nd one but Punk collapses. Roman spears him. Punk swings at him and misses. Roman hits another spear and wins.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time and was a slower match as expected. I wasn't expecting greatness of these two and I would just say it was okay only. There weren't a lot of huge highlights and I don't think there was a huge story here besides Punk trying to hang out as the underdog and them doing each other's moves. It was a mostly safe match. I'm not thrilled for another Roman title reign. He's not around much at a time when there's few stars and Roman is not great at helping others get over. It also guarantees us more Fatu Family Theater which I'm over.

Overall thoughts:  Night 2 was a very different show from Night 1 and they thankfully seem like they were written by two different people. It was always going to be hard for Night 2 to be worse than Night 1 as that is my pick for the worst Wrestlemania ever. The card for Night 2 was also better than Night 1 with less women's matches and no Pat McAfee. Oba/Brock was a little short. Oba got put over hard and Brock appeared to retire after. It wasn't great but it served a purpose. The ladder match was good as expected. Sami/Trick was average. Finn/Dom was fine. Jade/Rhea was average. The main was just okay only. We didn't get many non-wrestling segments on either night and virtually no interviews or promos to add some last minute excitement. Cena was basically invisible as a host. The endless ads and waiting times between matches made it hard to get hyped and the show was just missing its magic. I'd give Night 2 a low 6 out of 10. I wouldn't recommend it and would just say it was okay only. I thought today's show would probably rank in the lower half of all the Mania's so far. I can't see any reason to ever really come back and watch this again.

Thoughts: They tried and Los Americanos tried to bring some personality to it. It was a house show style match for the most part. It was acceptable but went a little long. We didn't have clear faces and heels but Los Americanos were able to win the crowd over during this one.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 matches here. Fallon/Jaida wasn't that good. The tag match was acceptable and got a lot of time to play out. I wouldn't recommend this one but it was nice to be able to see it and the two matches really only went about 15-20 minutes total.

This can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyigS_OWjLg

Thoughts: They took it very easy here and it took a bit for this to actually get going. It was average. The LWO won just because they are faces here and because there's only a few matches. There was no real reason to have the heels win here.

Erik vs Psycho Clown

These two are actually in a feud currently in AAA so this is relevant. Clown actually fought Ivar last night.

Thoughts: It was mostly striking here. It wasn't super exciting or anything but Clown put out a good effort and it was acceptable enough. Like the first match, Clown won as it's a smaller show and you might as well have the faces win.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 matches here. The Clown/Erik match was a little better than the tag match. Both matches were around average to acceptable. There's nothing you have to see here but it's a cool treat to see footage from this show that we might not otherwise see.

WWC Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre 4/19/2026

WWC Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre 4/19/2026

WWC Women's Title - Kamila (c) vs Elena Negroni 

Lou Forza vs El Payaso Makaro 

---

Abel Durant and Axel Cruz are on commentary and they welcome us to the show They shill Resistencia. Abel says El Cafe del Mileno on 4/25 will have a special guest but he won't say who.

Fans are the Lumberjacks Match - Amaddeo Sole vs El Payaso Makakro

We join this in progress. Sole foot chokes him and PM throws him out.  Sole hits punches in the corner and double chops him.

PM hits him in the gut and elbows his neck. PM whips him with the belt. Sole slides out and the fans start whipping him.

Sole comes back in and PM throws him out again to the fans. PM back body drops him then lariats him. PM flatliners him. Sole goes out and takes a fan's hat. The fans have him cornered against the entrance area. Sole goes to the back and the fan gets his hat back. Sole then gets counted out.

Thoughts: We already saw this on 2/1. It's bogus. They have a ton of footage we haven't seen in full so they show us footage we have already seen. It's just pure laziness and carny cheapskate stuff. The finish was clever with Sole running to the back to avoid a whipping and getting himself DQ'd. These matches are always good for a laugh or two as the fans go buck wild on the heels with belts.

Lou Forza does a promo. Lou says he will speak closer to the camera to see if can get his message easier. He says Resistencia is a great name as Makabro will have to be resistant to his punches. He says Makabro will cause trauma to his kid fans when he beats him up. He says it will be easier than stealing a snack at recess. He say he will show him why nobody stops him.

El Payaso Makakro does a promo. Makabro says facing him is an honor. He says Lou was given a chance to shine and he will extinguish the flame.

Xavant hits back elbows then a big slap. Xavant knocks him out of the ring with a slap then slaps him outside more. Xavant has some crazy eyes here. He hits another big slap and drops Tony outside. Xavant then hits mounted punches. Tony rams Xavan's back into the apron edge. Tony tries to leave with the title and does after taking a few shots. We are told this went to a no contest.

Thoughts: This went to a no contest. Xavant wasn't bad as the face here and Tony did his job as a heel. It would have been nice to get a finish. Tony should have been DQ'd for the low blow.

We join this in progress. Light pounds on him outside.  Light hits John with a weapon that was given to him by Orlando Toledo. Lights hits him with it again and John is busted open. Light pounds on him with the weapon and the ref Pelayo asks if John wants to quit or not. 

We go to break.

He says he is the captain of the people and says he will persevere until he triumphs because that's what heroes do.

Zcion RT1 does a promo. He says Eddie Colon is the distinguished director of the company and cost him the title. He says Eddie is doing everything he can to stop his path to the Universal Title. He tells Eddie to stop looking around and do the job himself. He tells him to get him out of the way of the Universal Title. He says Eddie has no balls for that, so he found Joe Bravo. RT1 says he's surprised that a luchador with his background is lending himself to Eddie's games. RT1 says he will welcome everyone to the University of Wrestling with his unique style. He says Bravo made the biggest mistake of his life getting in his way. He says Eddie and Toledo won't get in his path to the Universal Title. He says he's the next Universal champ. 

We return from break.  Light gives Toledo the weapon back. The ref checks Light for weapons. Light clubs John and John sells on the mat. John tries to fire up while on all fours which looks a bit silly. John hulks up and hits punches and is clubbed down. Light goes for another weapons shot and the ref stops him. John low blows Light. John then grabs the weapon and nails Light in the head with it several times. John hits more punches then back body drops him. 

Light misses a corner charge and goes shoulder first into the post. John rolls him up for 2. Toledo gets on the apron and the ref dropkicks him. The ref kicks Light in the crotch and dropkicks him. John lariats Light and pins him.

Thoughts: This was shown already but I didn't see it then. Pelayo is really in his own league when it comes to attacking the heels. I've never seen any ref actually do moves to the heels when they abuse him. John bled bigtime here. This was almost all cheating with Light using a weapon then John using the weapon him before Pelayo also got offense in. This was something different.

Intelecto Cinco Estrellas does a promo on John Hawking. Estrellas says Hawking is confident as if he understands the game. He says he will make him fall on 4/25. He says when he loses, he will understand he will never be Unviersal champ.

He says Eddie became a millionaire and wanted to do whatever he wanted while Ray took the fall here. Ray says he will defend his legacy and will checkmate Eddie.  

Abel and Axel close the show and shill Resistencia. Axel tries to find out from Axel who the guest will be on El Cafe del Milenio but Abel won't say.

Overall thoughts: This was an extremely lazy and cheap episode of TV from WWC. Not only did they show us reruns of matches and promos we have already seen but they showed us the same exact clipped segments of the matches. They clearly treated this show as filler and instead of showing a full match to fill time or any kind of new promo or segment, they showed us the same clipped up versions of matches. I get that they want people to come see the matches live and not sponge off of free TV only, but this is just being stupid. You can't get much more lazy or cheap than WWC and I would not recommend this show at all. I would give this show a 1 out of 10. This was a complete waste of time for anyone who watches this show regularly.
