Thoughts: It was alright. Rook's look is absolutely awful and he really does look like an older fat woman in a swimsuit. He needs some pants and maybe a shirt. I was surprised Rook didn't get the pin since this was his in-ring TV debut.

Dark State talk in the back. They say they can become 3x NXT Tag champs tonight. Cutler says Dion and Shugars aren't arguing. Dion says they put it behind them. Dion says Griffin says if they don't get this done they will make a change and inquires about it. Shugars interrupts and says not to worry about it.

Kelani Jordan comes out to talk. She asks what a girl has to do around here. She says she was a main player on NXT in 9 months and makes her the fastest homegrown talent in WWE. She says she beat Kendall Grey last week. She says she's better than all the women that got called up to the main roster. She says she's the only one to make Lola Vice tap out.

She says she has never gotten an NXT Women's Title shot. She says she had to watch women who are half as good as her fumble chances left and right. She says it's her time and says she's the biggest stand out in the locker room.

Izzi Dame comes out. She says she pinned Lola and booted her head off. She says if anyone will get a shot at the title, it's her. She tells her to get to the back of the line.

Lola Vice comes out. She says they both got wins but she won when it mattered. She says Kelani talks a lot. She says she wanted the title but couldn't handle her fists.

TA double boots him out of the corner. RM headbutts him then top rope dropkicks him to the back of the head for 2. TA sweeps him on the pron then does a knee curbstomp and wins.

Thoughts: Tristan looked a little better here than he did in Evolve. His mouth got busted open some here. I feel like the break probably cut a lot of this up as the announcers were talking about how good it was. I was surprised Hill didn't get involved. I thought it was just average.

Tristan says Hill belongs in the crowd with the plebs. Hill says Tristan told him he couldn't outclass him but he says look at him now. Hill says he's starting his campaign to crown himself Mr. NXT. Hill asks if the crowd wants to see him or Tristan as Mr. NXT. He then shows a photo of Tristan with a top hat on.

Thoughts: It had a lot of action and a fast pace. The Project bumped around a lot. We didn't have clear faces here but they made it work. Booker said Smokes was out after a charge into the rails...then he was up 20 seconds later. Dark State lost as expected here, essentially off a miscommunication between Dion and SS.

Thoughts: The turn was rather telegraphed and I was sure it was happening. We haven't really seen Shugars as a face yet so that'll be interesting.

Overall thoughts: NXT is throwing stuff at the wall right now and seeing what sticks. It feels like someone is riding them with a whip and telling them to make something happen now. I think it's a bit too much too soon, but it's developmental and their goal is to produce stars. The show was fine in-ring wise with nothing being bad. There was a lot going on outside of the ring as well. I would say the main was the best match on this show. I'd give it a higher 5 out of 10 as I'm still not sold on the current direction and there was a lot of rushing on this show. It was average.

Thoughts: This was absolutely nothing of note here. It was very one-sided. The faces didn't fly much at all and this was very clearly a match put together at the last minute. This was disappointing. I thought for sure they'd go all out to try and make up for Mist being out. 

The announcer then closes the show. 

Overall thoughts: Usually a show gets better as it goes on. This was the opposite of that. The opener was the best bout of the night in my opinion and Los Pantera's match was a close second. The second match with Meyer and Astro was alright alright but did drag a little in the 3rd fall. The girls tried in the 3rd match but it was average. The semi main was heel dominated and lazy. Xelhua didn't do his fancy holds and the heels did the basics. The main was rushed and did little to make-up for Mistico not being able to make it. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and it would have been lower if the undercard didn't bail out the top guys here. I wouldn't recommend this one and would say it was average.

The announcer closes the show as usual. 

Overall thoughts: I was alright with the opener but it was different with the faces triple stomping the heels. Stigma's match was good but 2 people seemed to have gotten hurt during it. I liked Los Calavera Jr vs Los Villanos. The semi-main was longer, slow and boring. The main wasn't either guys greatest effort but aside from a meaningless canadian destroyer, it was alright. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as things went pretty well here outside of the semi-main and it was a good show.

Thoughts: We missed some of this due to the break. Finn basically won this 1v2 which isn't a great look for JD. There was no blood but it was alright. The superplex through the table looked good and the john woo dropkick with the trash can on JD's head looked painful.

Cathy Kelly interviews Seth Rollins. Seth says he knows he's a marked man and has zero allies. Seth says he knows he has to put an end to The Vision sooner or later and he's spinning his wheels on how to do that. He says sometimes the easiest way out of a situation is to run through it.

Heyman says it's a great idea and says it'll be Seth vs Austin Theory. Logan and Austin love it as it's the main event. Bron asks Austin and Logan to leave.

We see a sitdown interview with Ethan Page and Michael Cole. Page gives him a cheat sheet where he has Cole ask him biased questions. Page says he didn't ask to be born so charismatic and dangerous. He says some people are born lucky and some like Penta have to work hard for it. Cole says he can't do this anymore and asks why Page does this. He says Page has everything and could be an all-time great, but he also has ego. He says his ego will cost him the IC Title on Saturday. Page says it's not ego but confidence.

Oba Femi comes out for his open challenge. Brock Lesnar comes out and F-5's Oba four times.

Thoughts: This was a shock as it seemed like Brock had retired at Wrestlemania. He never officially announced it though so it's not like he went back on his word. This was a shock though and I'm glad to see Brock is back. 

Adam Pearce asks the officials to find Heyman as he had retirement papers made up for Brock. Adam says Heyman what he just saw. Heyman says Brock Lesnar is retired. Heyman gives him a contract for Clash in Italy with Brock's signature on it. He says if he gets Oba Femi to sign it, he has the biggest rematch in history.

Logan beats up on Seth as soon as the match ends. Angelo Dawkins comes out and beats up Logan. Montez Ford comes out to help and kicks Paul down. Ford tope con hilos Logan over the post. Ford yells at Dawkins. Bron Breakker comes out and spears Ford. He gutbusters Dawkins.

Seth attacks Bron and lariats him. Logan trips up Seth and Bron spears Seth. The Vision goes to do something to Seth with the steps. Officials including Pearce come out and delay things. Bron takes down Seth and beats him up. 

Thoughts: The ending was a bit lame. The Vision ended up not being able to do all that much to Seth despite having a lot of time to plan for it. 

Overall thoughts: We got more Fatu/Roman fighting to start. JD/Finn had an okay street fight. The tornado trios match was action packed with a bunch of flying. The Women's Tag Title match could have been better but it wasn't that bad. The main was fine but nothing memorable or special. Brock Lesnar also made his return here after seemingly, but not officially, retiring. He's much needed around here right now and he should help things out. A lot of people were missing from this one like CM Punk and Joe Hendry. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as the show was okay as a whole but they aren't lighting the world on fire at the moment.

Thoughts: They traded holds and did a lot of technical wrestling as expected. I didn't love the the finishing stretch as much as the flying didn't really fit in what what they were doing. It was a legends match and they did some nice holds here. It was fine.

We get an ad for an NFL game in Mexico with Mascara Dorada and Soberano Jr. in NFL jerseys.

Averno, Ultimo Guerrero & Volador Jr. vs. El Sky Team (Mascara Dorada, Mistico & Neon)

The girl who sings Mistico's theme song sings the song for him.

Mistico's team wins the fall and match in 2 straight falls.

Thoughts: Mistico's team won as expected here. I didn't like the unmasking spot UG did. He had Mist totally unmasked and they ignored it. Other than that, it was alright with the faces doing a decent of high flying. We didn't see a ton of Neon in this one.

The singer sings Mistico's theme after. Mistico gets streamers.

The announcer then closes the show. 

Overall thoughts: The opener was average and would have been better as a normal match. The second match was going well and then had 2 botched pin attempts which messed it up. The women's match ended on a dumb note as Keyra got her team DQ'd for pulling off Kira's mask. That bout wasn't bad otherwise. Blue Panther/Solar was fine and was the technical bout you would expect. The semi-main wasn't that good as it was heel vs heel and went too long. The main was fine. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and thought it was average overall.  

WWE LFG 5/17/2026 Season 3, Episode 4

WWE LFG 5/17/2026 Season 3, Episode 4

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wwe-lfg-592026-season-3-episode-3.html

We see Tate Wilder working on a motorcycle with his family. They talk about him finding out his wife was pregnant. Tate talks about how things can change at any second in WWE and he doesn't want to let his family down.

Bloom, Booker, Terry Taylor and Bubba Ray are at a table talking. We hear from Terry Taylor about his career. Bloom says Terry knows how to deliver the message with love. Today's matches are Bayley Humphrey vs Nikkita Lyons, Chris Island vs Tate Wilder (Bloom wants Chris to show his real personality and thinks Tate is bored with the basics. Zena Sterling vs Chantal Monroe is the last match. Bloom says they all love Zena but it's been the same Zena for 2 years and she's having trouble being anything but the bubbly girl. Bloom wants Monroe to dial it up and show her personality. They debate what Zena's character is.

Booker talks to Nikkita. He says she has a big test with her. Booker says Nikkita has the showbiz mentality but says the timing has to be right. Booker says she has to dial back her sex appeal. 

Bayley talks about not getting past the first round in LFG 2. She says she's been changing her role to a face role. Booker says Bayley needs to laugh and believe in herself. 

Bayley Humphrey vs Nikkita Lyons

We are at the Evolve arena for this.

Bay backs her up in the corner and lets go. NL side headlocks her. They collide and Nl goes down. NL hits shots to the gut. NL high kicks her. Bay throws her and shoulders her over. Bay slams her for 2. Bay's throat is pulled down over the top rope. NL hits mounted forearms then a split leg drop.

Bay hits lariats then facekicks her. Bay standing moonsaults her for 2. NL knees her in the gut. Bay chokeslams her and pins her.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good as expected. Nikkita is not that great of a worker and when she's the best worker in the match, it's only going so far. Bayley didn't impress as a face. I was surprised by Bayley's standing moonsault.

Booker asks Nikkita how they felt. Booker says Nikkita did good as the general. Bayley thinks they needed to slow down and Booker agrees. 

Matt Bloom tells Bayley and Nikkita they are both big but yet were doing snap suplexes. Bayley says she's green and inexperienced but her confidence is stronger. They then talk about the spike's on Nikkita's bra.

Terry Taylor says Chris Island and Tate Wilder hadn't seen The Rock and Hulk Hogan wrestle. He shows them the match in a kitchen. Tate explains the match.

We see clips of Tate and Chris practicing amateur wrestling. Chris says what he was doing wasn't working. Terry tries to coach them through the match. Chris says it's not about the moves but the before and after. Terry wants the audience to see joy and pain.

Chris Island vs Tate Wilder

This is in the Evolve Arena. Chris Island has already been fired while Tate just made an NXT appearance. Hank and Tank are in the front row. Bubba complains about Chris being in jeans and sneakers. Booker says it's the same guy we have been seeing.

Chris slams Tate down and talks trash. Tate waistlocks him and they roll on the mat. Chris boots him in the gut. Tate dropkicks him then armdrags him twice. Chris kips up and is taken down by the arm.

Tate moonsaults over him and armdrags him. Chris short arm lariats him. Tate sends him hard into the buckles and backbreakers him. Tate back elbows him and Chris lariats him from behind. Chris backdrops him. Chris camel clutches him. 

They trade punches and Tate hits running forearms. Tat flying shoulders him. Tate twisting brainbusters him. Tate hits a top rope moonsault and wins.

Thoughts: Tate was an impressive face here. Chris tried a bit more than usual and wasn't that bad, but these situations are just awkward when you go into random cold matches like this.

Terry talks to the wrestlers and wants Chris to try to win more. Terry wants Tate to be wilder. Tate says Terry shut them down and they didn't hit the emotion side. Bloom asks who the Chris we saw tonight was and says he was screaming and yelling. Bloom tells him he looked fake and says he doesn't want to be screaming. He says they executed well but they are story tellers not stuntmen. Chris says he got the same feedback for 2 years and he has hit the wall.

Chantel Monroe talks about being a gymnast and has only been wrestling for 2 years. Bubba tells her she's going into this as the bad guy. Bubba explains that being a heel is wanting to hurt and embarrass the face. Zena says she's excited to work with Bubba. Bubba wants fire out of Zena. Bubba says Chantel needs to beat the crap out of Zena and make her fight for her life. Chantel wants to slap her and Bubba recommends she does so on his own. Bubba tells them to do what they do and tells Zena to show the next gear. They then do a group cheer. 

Zena Sterling vs Chantel Monroe

We are at the NXT arena here.

CM snapmares her and taunts her. CM backs her up in the corner then double chops her. Zena side headlocks her then front facelocks her. CM forearms and boots her. Zena hits shoulderblocks and fires up. Bubba doesn't want her to pump her fists at her waist.

Zena walks into a superkick. CM hits back elbows and boots on her in the corner. CM hits a corner meteora. CM butt drops her back then knee drops her for 2. CM headscissors her. CM misses a knee drop and a corner meteora. 

CM slaps her. Zena fires up and hits shots. Zena hits running lariats. Zena double underhook suplexes her. CM eye rakes her and jumping codebreakers her for the win.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one but they did what they were supposed to do here. CM did some basic heeling and showed personality. Zena got her comeback spot and was put down.

Bubba asks them how they did. CM says her striking and pacing could have been better. Zena says she's happy with their showing. Bubba says they did well. We see Bubba dancing and watching this. 

Bubba says Zena needs to work on her aggression. Bubba tells Zena to step up her game. Bubba says something is missing in Zena and they need to get something different out of her. They say Zena still has a way to go.

Overall thoughts: It's always a bit hard to rate this show. Today, they gave the wrestlers a task for the match, they had the match then the coaches rated them afterwards. It made sense and that may be the best we can really get out of this format, minus having them do an actual wrestling brand. The first two matches weren't that great, though Tate Wilder impressed. The main was short but acceptable. Neither Natalya or Kevin Owens were on this episode. I wouldn't really recommend this one and there's nothing you really need to see here.

LM52 Lucha Libre Mexicana on Discovery Espanol 5/17/2026

LM52 Lucha Libre Mexicana on Discovery Espanol 5/17/2026

A few wrestlers come out (probably Emperador Azteca, Rey Mictlán and El Hijo de Canis Lupus) and confront them then talk. Wagner's group motions for them to leave after they talk for a bit. Both groups then leave without a fight.

We are 16 minutes in with 2 breaks and not a single match has happened yet.

Noisy Boy and Spiderfly tour the empty arena before the show and talk.

Los MexaBoyz (Noisy Boy and Spiderfly) vs Bendito and Wisin

Wisin is a guy in a dog mascot suit with an oversized mascot head.

Wisin and NB go at it. They shake hands and NB hangs on. NB flips off of him. NB pulls him by his tail side headlocks him. NB cartwheels over him and poses. Wis legsweeps him and pretends to pee on him. Wis then does push-up's. Bend and Spider get in.

Bend does a corner splash and backrolls into a cutter on NB. Wis top rope splancha's Spider outside. NB takes a slingshot falcon arrow from Bend and Bend pins him. Bendito's team wins the match.

Thoughts: It took a bit to get going and had a slower pace to it. As usual, The MexaBoyz didn't hit their stuff clean. It's impressive that Wisin can do what he does with a giant dog's head on him but I don't like the gimmick. NB did a dive off a balcony but the camera's half missed it (but caught it on the replays) and Bendito didn't get to do his more spectacular stuff here. It was just so-so.

We see Demonio Infernal look at the empty arena before his entrance. 

Jack Morris vs Demonio Infernal

This will be the 3rd continent I've seen Jack wrestle on this year.

They stare down and Dem rubs his hands. They lock up and Jack side headlocks him. Dem reverses it. They shoulder each other. Dem chops him then Jack chops back. Jack hits forearms and punches in the corner. Jack running dropkicks him out.

Jack slingshot plancha's him outside. Jack buckshots over him and runs into a boot. Jack springboards and is facebustered. Dem dropkicks him. Dem headbutts him then punches him.

Jack pump kicks him, enzugiri's him and release backdrops him. Jack flying knees him for 2. Jack goes for a move. A masked guy gets on the apron and distracts Jack. Jack goes for him. Dem over the shoulder piledrivers Jack and pins him.

Thoughts: It wasn't good. They did little but slaps for the majority of this and it had a slow pace. There was very little excitement in this.

We then see some highlights after. The masked guy points at the two and poses.

Overall thoughts: This was not a good debut episode. It took almost 25 minutes to get to our first match and the show was only an hour long. The first match was the best match of the night but it was so-so. Jack vs Demonio was boring and slow. This show needed to have hot action from the start and needed to make good use of every second they had and I don't think they did that here. I also don't think having a guy in a dog mascot uniform in your first match was a good way to introduce people to your product. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 and I thought this was below average.
