AAA on Fox 5/9/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/aaa-on-fox-522026.html

We are in Queretaro, Mexico. JBL, Corey Graves and Rey Mysteio are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive.

Lince Dorado vs. Octagon Jr. vs. Cruz Del Toro

We get a double headlock spot. Lince takes a double dropkick out. Oct enzugiri's Cruz from the apron then top rope diving tornillo armdrags him. Oct sunset flips Cruz and Cruz knees him in the head. Cruz reverse cloverleafs him and Lince breaks it with a legdrop. Lince hip throws Oct then tilt-a-whirl backbreakers him. Lince lariats Oct for 2.

Cruz hits punches on Lince. Lince goes up and over. Lince spinning headscissors him. Lince asai moonsaults Cruz outside. Lince top rope crossbodies him then armbars him. Cruz powerbombs Lince out of a triangle. Oct top rope tornillos his opponents and totally catches Cruz by surprise.

Oct is flipped into an armdrag on Cruz. Oct walks up the ropes and springboard diving headscissors Cruz. Oct tilt-a-whirl backbreakers Lince. Cruz pulls Oct out and sends him to the mat. Cruz tornillo's Lince outside. Oct top rope plancha's Cruz outside.

Oct slingshot tornillo splashes Cruz inside for 2. Lince chops Oct and Oct chops back. Lince handspring stunners Oct for 2. Cruz and Oct trade chops. Cruz superkicks Oct. Oct pump kicks Lince then springboard cutters Cruz. Crush ki krushers Lince. Cruz is up top and Oct kicks him. Oct top rope moonsault slams Cruz for 2.

Oct kicks Lince through the ropes. Oct is crotched up top then in tree of woe. Cruz actually get enough air on the coast to coast dropkick to hit Oct but Oct moves his head up, making Cruz miss. Lince top rope ssp's Oct. Lince brainbusters Cruz and pins him.

Thoughts: The crowd was a little tired for this. It's too bad Oct messed up the coast to coast dropkick spot but you couldn't really see it unless you rewinded. I would have liked the top rope moonsault slam to count a bit more. Lince winning was a bit of a surprise here. It was okay.

Dorian Roldan runs into Chessman in front of Marisela Pena's office. Chessman says he's going for the GM position. Dorian says says they have know each other for years and says the position is his. Chess laughs and says the one who needs to worry about this is him as he says the position is his.

La Catalina vs. Jessy Jackson

Lady Flammer comes out before the main starts.

They lock up. JJ clean breaks her on the ropes. JJ shoves her and they trade wristlocks. Cat headflips out, JJ takes her down and bangs her face off the mat. Cat hits armdrags.

Cat facekicks JJ then basement dropkicks her. Cat cannonballs her off the apron outside. JJ stomps on her on the ropes then meteora's her on the bottom rope for 2. JJ hits mounted shots on Cat. JJ hit forearms and chops on Cat. Cat back elbows her and bangs JJ's head off the buckles.

Cat high kicks JJ then top rope dropkicks her. Cat corner hip attacks JJ from behind for 2. Cat slaps JJ then JJ elbow drops her for 2. JJ corner shotei's Cat then Cat flying knees her. Cat is up top and is swept on the top buckle. JJ corner meteora's her for 2.

JJ clubs on Cat. Cat superkicks JJ then hip attacks her on the buckles. Cat hits wasteland on JJ. Cat top rope splashes JJ and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a lot more even than I expected. I expected Cat to get to show off here since it was her debut, but honestly, JJ got to show off as much. JJ had a good outing here. Cat's offense was fine, but she needed more shine. This was alright.

Las Toxicas come down and jump Catalina after. Flammer joins in. Lola Vice comes down and beats up Las Toxicas. Lola then gets triple teamed and stomped on. Bayley then comes out and nails one of Las Toxicas as she tries to leave. Bayley, Cat and Lola get the edge and Flammer takes hip attacks before falling out.

Galeno del Mal will be in action next week.

We see the recent history of El Pagano and Psycho Clown.

Psycho Clown says what we just saw is the reason he's here tonight. He says he can't ignore everything that happened and asks Pagano to come out.

Pagano comes out. Clown says things haven't been going well. He says Psycho Circus has fallen one by one and he can't stop thinking that one of them might be taking out Psycho Circus. Clown asks him what he can tell him. Clown says it breaks his heart that it could be Pagano attacking The Circus.

Pagano talks and asks if he believes he would do that after all they went through together. He asks if he thinks he's capable of attacking his own brothers. Pagano says it's not a test, but a game of someone who wants to destroy what is left. Pagano says he has to accuse someone and says Clown should look in the mirror. Pagano says it wasn't him.

Pagano says he wouldn't turn his back on his own family. Clown pushes him and leaves. Pagano tells him to look at hme while he's talking to him. He says Clown will find out that he was never on the wrong side. The War Raiders then jump Clown on the stage. Pagano runs up the ramp and fights The Raiders, though he does it a little slowly. The Raiders back off.

Clown hits his hand on Pagano's shoulder and Pagano swats it way. Both then leave separately.

Thoughts: The mystery continues here. We can all make guesses but only the booker knows.

Overall thoughts: The opening 3-way was alright with lots of flying as expected. Catalina vs Jessy was alright but Catalina should have gotten to show off a bit more. We then got a Psycho Clown/Pagano segment where they questioned each other's loyalty. The show was fine overall. They did a decent job building to El Noche de los Grandes. A lot of the stars haven't been on the show lately though for unknown reasons and that is hurting the build. I'd give it a 6 out of 10. The show was fine but it wasn't the most exciting show.

NWA Powerrr 5/9/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/nwa-powerrr-522026.html

The Pope, Tim Storm and Joe Galli are in the ring. Joe hypes up the show and says Pope will be on commentary (Danny Dealz hasn't been able to do complete shows lately and I don't know why). Pope says it's going down tonight and it's wrestling as it was meant to be. Tim says the winner of the Mildred Burke Invitational tonight becomes the #1 contender to the Women's Title.

Crockett Cup 2026 Quarterfinal Match - The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows) vs The Slimeballz (Sage Chantz and Tommy Rant)

Doc superkicks Rant. Sage takes corner attacks and a backdrop + neckbreaker combo for 2. Sage is hit with a magic killer and is pinned.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. It was a total burial of The Slimez from all sides and The Slimez are the current US Tag champs. Aron Stevens looked disgusted at them. The announcers ripped them for not double teaming and such and The Good Brothers destroyed them. Doc hit a nasty high kick and superkick here.

The Good Brothers are interviewed after. Rant takes the mic. He congratulates The Bros. Sage puts them over and says they survived Slimeball City. Sage says that deserves a Too Slimey. They then spit on their hands and do the too sweet hand gesture. Doc rejects it.

The Southern Six do a promo. Kerry says their loss to The Wrestling Machines wasn't his fault. Kerry says Alex should have kicked out and Alex says he should have saved him. Silas says enough. He says he needs to make sure they have their minds right and their heads on a swivel. Silas says The Six are riding high and won't ever die.

Tal facekicks Thom and throws him out. Nihan facekicks Tal then dropkicks Ren. Tal and Nihan facekick each other then trade shots. Nihan superkicks Tal. Ren facekicks Nihan and Tal chokeslams Nihan. Nihan then takes a double chokeslam and is pinned by Ren.

Thoughts: It was fun to see the big guys fight. They got a little more out of Ren than usual. This wasn't bad and I liked it. It seems like The Titan's are either going to win this or lose in the finals.

Thom and Nihan argue after. Thom holds the ropes open for him after.

It's Me...The Carson Drake Experience

Wrecking Ball Legursky is this week's guest. Drake asks how him it feels to wrestle Drake, then keeps interrupting him. Drake calls it a david and goliath thing and calls him middle class. We then see Mondo and Slade beat up Ball and leave him laying on the table.

Damian Fenrir does a promo, his first I think on NWA. He says he knows Alex Misery feels good after beating him but says it won't happen again. He says Alex is an afterthought compared to him. Fenrir says he will take wrestling to new heights and is the face of pro wrestling.

The Mildred Burke Invitational Gauntlet

The winner of this gauntlet gets a bouquet of roses that can be cashed in at any time for a title shot.

Kylie germans Tiff. Kylie corner dropkicks Tiff for 2. Gretta chokeslams Kylie. Gretta puts Tiff onto Kylie and lets Tiff pin her. Kylie Paige is eliminated.

Tiff backs up and runs into Gretta. Gretta stares her down. Tiff tells Gretta to get out and Gretta self-eliminates. Tiffany Nieves wins.

Thoughts: Kylie really looked like an idiot here. She eliminated her sister then ended up basically getting triple teamed by TV-MA right after. I didn't like Shay and Mercy debuting in this just to lose. I think Mercy has something though and her little fight with Gretta got over. They should bring her back and try that again. Gretta's still very green and can't do forearms even that well right now but her size really makes her stick out and as long as they keep her around in limited doses, I think they can make it work. I liked the gauntlet overall as it had a nice mix of characters and some interesting stuff going on.

Overall thoughts: I didn't like The Slimeballs getting jobbed out to The Good Brothers here then being slammed by commentary and Aron Stevens. That was a total burial. The Titans of Calamity's tag match was fun. I liked the gauntlet as well. Of course, we had some random wrestlers and matches here as usual, but atleast there was a reason for the gauntlet being random. The Pope should not do commentary again though. He's too critical and essentially kicks the wrestlers while they are down. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall and thought it was a fun show.

AEW Fairway to Hell 5/9/2026

Note - This is going up against WWE Backlash 2026.

Thoughts: They did a little much but they had the idea right of Jack being the high flying underdog and Mark being the big heavy who put him down. This was one of Jack's better matches. Mark's been on a roll lately in the ring and it's nice to see him get rewarded for it. I'm looking forward to see if he can step up a bit with this title reign.

We get a video on Nick Wayne joining the Best of the Super Juniors Tournament.

The announcers talk about the rest of the card and you can definitely hear the director telling them what to do.

Jack Perry is on the phone in the back. He knocks away a water bottle. He says winning the National Title at home was one of the best moments of his career. He says Ricochet and Don Callis ended it for him. He says he knows Jericho and The Hurt Syndicate are looking for 2 more partners in Stadium Stampede.

Bayne and Kross do an inset promo. They say worthy opponents don't exist so they are doing The Divine Dominion 5 Minute Challenge. They say if any girls can last 5 minutes, they can get a title show.

The Divine Dominion 5 Minute Challenge - Divine Dominion (Lena Kross & Megan Bayne) vs Rachel Ley & Ruthie Slay

Slay used to be Ruthie Jay in the NWA and she's been in AEW a few times. Ley appeared there once in the NWA too and looked good.

Thoughts: It was all squash here and it was fine with The Dominion looking big and bad.

Don says Okada is in Japan handling business and says he has a replacement, Konosuke Takeshita. Don says he will pluck KT out of obscurity and be his replacement for Kenny Omega. KT says he was interested in the Continental Title but will be the one who takes the AEW Title home for The Family.

Thoughts: Mike won as expected here. It was just a squash with KG getting some stomps in and Mike doing some flying before winning.

Kevin Knight says Mike is red hot right now. Kevin says he's still the face of TNT. He says they should make it to the top of AEW together.

AEW World Title No Count Out Match - Darby Allin (c) vs. PAC

DA walks onto the virtual putting green to start and wants Pac to join him. They fight there which pops the crowd. DA headbutts him down. DA is back body dropped on the rough. DA code red's him into the sand trap, which the announcers point out is a first in wrestling. DA dropkicks him and Pac flips into the sand trap. Pac then belly to belly suplexes DA into the sand trap. Pac then brutalizers him there. The ref tells Pac he can't win in the sand trap. Pac then gorilla press throws DA into the sand trap.

We go to PiP break and return. Pac ties DA's throat to the post. Pac pump kicks him there. DA spits at him. Pac back body drops him and DA flips. DA trips him then reverse ddt's him for 2. DA is crotched up top. Pac top rope falcon arrows him for 2.

Pac tombstones DA on the steps. A 2x2 stack of tables is set up. We go to PiP break and return. DA and Pac are on the 2nd floor. DA is thrown off the balcony through the 2v2 stack of tables. We then see Pac run down a couple of flights of steps to get back to him which is kind of funny.

Pac carries DA to the ring and of course he only gets a 2 count. Of course! Pac gets the AEW title belt. DA gets up. DA low blows him and hits him with the title belt. DA top rope coffin drops him and wins.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. Darby shouldn't have kicked out of that throw off the balcony through the tables. There's no excusing that. Beyond that, it took them a while to get from the golf course back to the ring and it took them a while to get up to the stands as well. That caused the match to slow down and stall.

Overall thoughts: It was a special episode of AEW here and something a little different. I liked the opener. They set up Stadium Stampede. We got two squashes. We had a wild Pac vs Darby match with Pac being thrown off a balcony through tables and them wrestling in the sand traps on a golf course. They did too much though and it took them a long time to get to those area's which slowed down the match. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as it was a neat presentation and something creative. I did like it as a whole.

WOW Women of Wrestling 5/9/2026 Season 6, Episode 31

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wow-women-of-wrestling-522026-season-6.html

Ab says they were missing inaction as they were dancing on tabletops around exclusive clubs. Ab is surprised that Penelope Pink is the champ. Ab says Paola should be the champ. Ab says they are back and are here to take Tormenta's #1 contender spot.

Tormenta comes out. She can't get Ab's and Paola's names right. Tormenta says she fought Paola beefore and always beat her. Tor says she wants Paola to show her that she's the best in the ring. Tor says she will break her face. Dave tells Ab to let Paola speak as she knows what Tor said. Paola says how dare you to Tor. She says she will prove that she will break her face. Dave then sets up a Tormenta vs Paola match.

Thoughts: It was a good match and one of the better WOW bout's of the year...though that list is starting to get longer and longer. The two clicked and got the fans into it. Gab was a good face as usual and they showed some spirit. Gen hit a nice spinning heel kick here.

Gen gets on the mic after. She says she said no dancing in the ring before the match started. Gen says she never had a title match vs Tormenta or The Classmaster. She says she has been outcast, overlooked and exiled from WOW a usual. Gen says Pink will give her a title match if she wants to prove she's a real WOW champ. Dave says on commentary that Gen could be the next WOW champ.

Genesis and Drucilla Blade are interviewed. Gen says she said everything she needed to say in the ring. She says she called out Penelope Pink and says the only person who didn't get an opportunity is her. She says Lana better set it up as her and Blade are ready.

Next week has Paola Mayfield vs Tormenta.

WOW World Title - Penelope Pink (c) vs Kalaki The Island Girl

They lock up. Kal wristlocks her then Pink reverses it. Kal side headlocks her and takes her over. Pink headscissors her and Kal ropebreaks. Pink headlocks her and shoulders her over. Pink shoulders her over. Kal hits armdrags. Kal hiptosses her and corner splashes her.

Kali atomic drops her and Pink codebreakers the arm. Kal headbutts and gutwrench powerslams her for 2. Pink sliding lariats her for 2. Kal snapmare drivers her. Pink kneelifts her in the face and pins her.

Thoughts: It was acceptable just not super great or anything. Kal just doesn't have the offense or logic for that. But she sold, Pink taunted her and Pink eventually pulled off the win as expected. It wasn't overly exciting or anything but it's not like it was a bad match.

Santana Garrett stares at Pink as she holds her title up after.

Overall thoughts: It was a solid episode of WOW. There were only 2 matches but both got enough time to play out and we got some interviews and a segment setting things up for next week. Genesis/Cruz was one of the better WOW matches of the year. I had no issues with it and thought it was good. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

Saturday, May 9, 2026

WWE Backlash 2026 5/9/2026

We are in Tampa, FL. Michael Cole and Wade Barrett are on commentary.

Seth rolls in and gets speared for 2. Bron goes for a spear and Seth kind of turns it into a pedigree. Seth comes off the 2nd rope and Bron spears him. Bron hits another spear and pins Seth.

Thoughts: It was nice to see Bron get the win. It was a good match with them having a lot of near falls. Bron spammed the spear a bit much and the selling could have been a little better but I liked it. Seth going after Logan and Austin was a dumb kayfabe move and hard to even believe to be honest. They had a couple of sloppy moments here. Bron hit a nice lariat here. I was surprised they had Bron win relatively clean when a dirty win would have sparked a rematch.

Trick Williams and Lil' Yachty are interviewed. Trick says Sami is lying when he says he feels great. Trick says he's been running this and is the puppet master. He says the games are over tonight.

Thoughts: Sami was on full on heel here. He pounded on Trick a lot and beat up Yatchy. It was a bit one-sided at times but Trick picked up the win as expected. I wouldn't say it was great or anything but I don't think the type of match they were doing here was really going to be. Trick still really needs some exciting offense and I don't know if we will ever see it. It was average.

Yachty throws money up in the air as Trick poses on the ropes.

The Miz and Kit Wilson vs Danhausen and Minihausen

Minihausen airplane spins Kit and wasteland's him. Mini tries to curse Kit but Kit holds his mirror up at him. Miz gets a 2 count on Mini.

Miz then sprays himself and Kit on accident. Mini top rope plancha's Kit outside. Dan pump kicks Miz and pins him.

Thoughts: This was Doink and Dink reincarnated. It was all comedy and goofing around here and was way over the top. Vince would be proud of this one. Someone with booking power is having way too much fun with Dan.

Dan and the midgets dance after. They all then struggle to run away together.

Thoughts: It was a good, long match. They stiffed each other, Iyo flew around and the spot where Iyo blocked the mist was pretty cool. There were a few sloppy moments but it was nothing bad. These are two girls who have been working together for over 10 years and this was never going to be bad. It was nice to see them get a ton of time to do their thing. We got a couple rounds of "We Want Kairi" chants here, though the rumor is she left WWE on her own accord.

They hug after and Asuka kisses her. They both then walk out without any trouble.

They show Dan Spivey and Steve Keirn in the crowd but Cole stupidly confuses the two.

John Cena comes out to the ring. Cen says this is cool and thanks everyone. Cena says moments like this make him think of the next phase of his WWE career. The crowd chants for one more match. He says he thinks about his last match and was happy but says others were upset by it. He says it was an evening of opportunity. Cena says we saw Sol Ruca, Je'Von Evans and Oba Femi at that show.

Cena says debuted 4 months ago and was strutting and kicking Brock's @ss at Mania. Cena says it hit him and they gotta do this again. Cena announces "The John Cena Classic". He says it'll have the best of today competing vs the best of tomorrow in the hopes of being crowned a champ. He says it's a brand new event and a brand new championship in the WWE. He says it's a title he's putting his name on. He says he's striving for a certain level of excellence and wants to make it special.

Cena says our voice will be heard louder than ever before as the fans will vote to crown the champ. He says every participant qualifies. He says a star may not win the match but could win the vote and become champ. Cena says he doesn't want to just do it for just one year and says the sky is the limit. The crowd chant for Oba and Cena says he's watching so let him hear you.

Cena thanks WWE for taking the chance on this idea. He thanks the fans and thanks Tampa.

Cena says this city means a lot to him and you can add this to the list. He thanks the fans for the noise. Cena says he will see us at the John Cena Classic and says it's time for the main event.

Thoughts: The most popular wrestler is probably going to win this thing. It depends on how they set up but if it's truly a legit vote, we could get some odd results off of this.

The commentators shill root beer with a dog mascot.

World Heavyweight Championship - Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu

Fatu has one of those Hawaiian flower necklaces on.

They lock up and RR side headlocks him. RR shoulders him over and Fatu gets up as RR poses. They lock up again and Fatu side headlocks him. Fatu shoulders him over. RR lariats him then Fatu lariats him down. Fatu lariats him over the top but RR lands on his feet.

Fatu grabs the tongan death grip. RR takes the turnbuckle pad off, bangs Fatu's head off of it and spears him. RR pins him.

Thoughts: It was a good match and probably the best match of the night. The two matched up well, they kept up a good pace and they did some smart stuff here with Roman working the fingers and needing shortcuts to win. I don't love Fatu losing and I probably would have just had Fatu win by countout. But that's really only complaint about this.

Fatu puts the tongan death grip on Roman after. The ref breaks it up twice and Fatu pop-up samoan drops him. Officials come in to break it up. Fatu superkicks Hurricane Helms thn throws Adam Pearce out. Fatu puts the hold on again.

Fatu yells, "I told him", a few times. Fatu leaves then comes back to do the death grip again. Fatu then holds the title up over Roman.

The show ends. Cathy tries to interview Roman but it is cut off. Fatu says he kicked Roman's @ss and says he told us how wild he is. He asks when the last time you saw somene like him get crashed out. He says Roman's punk @ss just realized he's all gas and no breaks with it.

Overall thoughts: I liked the opener and thought it was good. Trick/Sami was a bit one-sided and average. The Danhausen tag was something out of Vince's brain and was too over the top and unserious. Iyo/Asuka was a good wrestling match. The main was very good with Fatu and Roman really clicking well. I'd give this a 6 out 10 as we had some good, bad and average stuff here. I thought it was a good show overall and was better than I expected going in.

Abel talks about Chicano appearing at El Cafe del Milenio at Furia Extrema. He says Axel is not here and he wishes him a quick recovery.

Los Matadores Celestiales (Mike Nice and Oscar Benabe) (c) vs Los Inmortales (Orly Jr. & Tapia)

OB boots Tapia then Tapia takes a neckbreaker + sitout powerbomb combo. El Informante trips the ref on the count. Orlando Toledo comes out. Informante is giving the ref a poor performance review on his clipboard. Toledo tells he ref to leave then Toledo takes over as the ref. OB takes a gori special + jumping flatliner. Toledo fast counts the pin and Tapia pins OB.

Thoughts: Informante started grading the refs last week as he's working on behalf of Eddie Colon, who is in control. They are basically threatening the job of the ref's if they don't do what they say. The finish was pretty lame but the faces showed some energy and were alright here. What we got of this looked good. From what I could see, the titles may have been held up due to this odd finish.

Diego Luna does an promo. He says he wants the fans to see him and JC Jexx team together. He says to show that 2 nations can unite. He says he wants to start with Sole. He says Tony was cool in the US but is a jerk in Puerto Rico. He says the taller the trees, the harder they fall.

Tony Leyenda and Amaddeo Sole do a promo. Tony says God wants him to achieve more and more in WWC. Sole says him and Tony are great. He says when you have two superstars like them in the same ring, you can only hope for a new dawn.

Wil michinoku drivers him. Wil misses a top rope splash. Will blocks a GTS and michinoku drivers him. Wil hits a top rope splash and pins him.

Thoughts: We didn't see all that much of it. Wil has a higher workrate that most of the other guys here and his matches have a lot more action. What we got wasn't bad.

Los Inmortales do a promo. Tapia says they have a golden opportunity at Furia Extrema due to Orlando Toledo. Orly says corruption won't help their opponents and says we will have new tag champs at Furia Extrema. The say that's absolute.

Mike Nice and Oscar Benabe do a promo. Mike says things will get spicy at Furia Extrema. Mike says Orlando Toledo is playing with fire against them. Oscar says they always show what they are made of and says they have Los Inmortales in their sights.

El Cafe del Milenio

Ray Gonzalez and El Paparazzi talk in the ring. Ray says Papa wanted him to invite Intelecto Cinco Estrellas. Papa says CInco didn't answer the email. Ray says maybe he won't come. Intelecto Cinco Estrellas and Orlando Toledo come out. Papa asks Cinco how it feels that his first tile challenger is Zcion RT1. Cinco says it was inevitable. He says Ray and Papa are getting old and making fools of themselves. He says they have senile mental problems. He says he retired Zcion RT1. Papa says Cinco seems nervous. Ray says Papa is saying that Cinco has lost his balls and Toledo has too.

Cinco says one of his goals is to retire Ray and he won't rest until he does. Ray tells him that he should remember that Zcion is his first challenge. Ray says the only way Cinco can get his attention is if he puts his mask on the line. Cinco says he's worrying too much about him instead of his opponents tonight.

Xavant does a promo. He says the champ has arrived. He thanks the staff at a school for having him. He says there will be an important match for him at Furia Extrema when he faces Bravo and Hawking. He asys he doesn't have personal problems with them but he could if they keep mentioning his name. He says he goes into Captain mode and national hero mode at the 53rd Anniversary. He says he will fight with all of his heart and persevere until he triumphs because that's what heroes do.

We return from break. Light hits punches on Papa. Light misses a corner charge and Papa ddt's him. Ray and Joe tag in. Ray hits punches and hits him in the gut. Ray bangs Light's and Joe's heads together. Light's head is banged off the buckles. Joe and Light are sent into each other and Lights goes out. Papa cradles Joe but the ref isn't looking. Orlando Toledo comes in, puts Joe on top top and tries to count 3. Pelayo (the ref), stops him and dropkicks him. Ray and Light trade shots outside. Joe grabs the ref Pelayo then Papa rolls up Joe and Pelayo fast counts to give Papa the pin.

Thoughts: We didn't see all that much of this and it was mostly just the basics. I'm not sure what made Pelayo cheat for the faces here.

Abel talks about La Amenaza Bryan and we see clips of his situation with Eddie Colon and Victor Jovica. We then see Bryan hit an AA on Eddie and stare down with Cinco Estrellas.

Intelecto Cinco Estrellas does a promo. He says Bryan's a typical guy who talks and makes noise. Cinco says he's not like that. He says he smiles when problems arise. He says Bryan boasts about his abilities and talks about the past. Estrellas says it means he's seeking approval. Estrellas says Bryan's return will turn into a farewell. He says he will see him at Furia Extrema.

La Amenaza Bryan does a promo. He says time is running out for Estrellas. He says his abuse is over and says someone equal or greater to him has arrived. He says he will prove to him and the fans that he's #1 today, yesterday and forever. He says he will finish him off.

Abel says Jack Swagger/Jake Hager is headed into WWC.

Eddie and Carlito Colon do a promo. Eddie says Carlito will be at the Anniversary show. He says they will team up vs Paparazzi and Ray Gonzalez. Eddie calls Ray the most miserable blowhard in wrestling. Carlito is surprised about Paparazzi being back. Eddie tells Ray to prepare.

El Paparazzi and Ray Gonzalez do a promo. Ray says Chicano will be at Furia Extrema. Ray says they will face one of the highest paid tag teams in the world in The Colon's. He says they are one of the best tag teams and former WWE champs. Papa says the gas tank is full for that bout. Ray says when he and Papa's tanks are full, it means the fans will enjoy a good fight. Ray says they will checkmate The Colon's.

Abel closes the show. He says Jack Hager is confirmed for the 53rd Anniversary and says he has the most powerful slap in the world (He does Powerslap).

Overall thoughts: As always, we got the last portion of matches, lots of promos and lots of shilling for the next show. They do a good job generally of making you want to see the matches. Chicano is back and WWC has a nice selection of names available for the upcoming 53rd Anniversary show. The matches weren't bad here. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 overall and it was a little better than the usual WWC show.

CMLL 5/8/2026 Viernes Espectacular

The announcer welcomes us to the show as usual.

La Ola Negra (Dark Magic, Espanto Jr. & Gallero) vs. Atrapasuenos (Espiritu Negro & Rey Cometa) & Fuego

The heels then get a triple pin attempt in.

Rey is popped up into a double dropkick. Rey and Negro put their arms around each other and tope con hilo out together. Fuego leglocks Dark and submits him. Fuego's team wins the match.

Thoughts: The finish wasn't good. That leglock looked bad and Dark submitted to it quick. It was fine otherwise as it didn't go too long and the faces got a few dives in. Rey and Negro's combo dive where they hugged each other and did tope on hilos was a new spot.

Brillante Jr. & Diamond vs. Los Hermanos Calavera (Calavera Jr. I & Calavera Jr. II)

1st Fall - A Cal locks up with Dia. Cal waistlock takedowns him. Dia armbars him. Dia armdrags him. Brill springboard double crossbodies The Cal's.

Brill canadian destroyers a Cal on the apron. Dia then topes that Cal. Brill split-legged moonsaults the other Cal and pins him. Diamond's team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see Los Calavera lose here since they have been pushed hard. Brill and Dia are kind of a newer team too. What we got here was alright but this would have benefited from a little less time.

They do a tribute video for La Caverneria, who passed away. They hold her ashes up in the ring.

Keyra, Reyna Isis & Zeuxis vs. Kira, La Jarochita & Tessa Blanchard

Z - Zeuxis

1st Fall - Reyna and Jaro go at it. They trade some holds and Jaro armdrags her into an armlock. Reyna armdrags her. Jaro throws her then armdrags her. Jaro basement dropkicks her. Jaro flying headscissors Z. Z slaps her then kicks her in the head.

Kira is popped up into a double dropkick. Jaro and Kira hit stereo topes outside. Tess cutters Keyra three times and pins her. La Jarochit's team wins the fall and math.

Thoughts: It was a fast paced on and a little rushed. I was surprised to see Jaro's team win in 2 straight falls. Kira was hustling here. It was fine.

El Elemental, El Terrible, Explosivo & Maquina Letal vs. Los Viajeros Del Espacio (Futuro, Hombre Bala Jr., Max Star & Valiente Jr.)

Maquina Letal is one of the wrestlers under a new gimmick. It may be Adrenalina. The faces got beaten up all throughout the first fall (Which they lost) and most of the second fall. The faces finally made their comeback and picked up double pins to win the second fall. Viajeros del Espacio wear similar colors and it's very hard to tell them apart, so I didn't even want to attempt it here. Maquina ended up winning this one in the third fall or his team with a piledriver on Val. It wasn't boring, but it was a rushed match where they mostly did whatever. This would have been better as a trios match.

Lightning Match - Black Tiger vs. Neon

Tiger spears him in mid-air and pounds on him. Neon corkcrew headscissors Tiger out then topes him. Neon springboard crossbodies Tiger. Tiger misses a corner spear and goes into the post.

Tiger full nelson slam's him. Tiger is on the apron and Neon flying headscissors him over the top to the floor. Neon blind walks up the buckles and moonsaults Tiger outside. Neon top rope inverted flip dives Tiger and pins him.

Thoughts: I liked it. It only went 7:41 and had a lot of action. Tiger really should have been DQ'd for openly misting Neon, thought they got out of Neon having to do his blind double springboard moonsault from it. Neon won as he was the bigger name but I don't know if it's Tiger's best interest to be losing these types of matches right now.

We get an ad for Mitos En El Ring. I don't know what it is but it looks interesting. It seems like a comic or cartoon thing with AI and unknown wrestlers.

Mistico & Titan vs. Angel de Oro & Barbaro Cavernario

Mistico wore a BTS jacket out. BTS is a Korean boy band group and they are there at the event.

1st Fall - Mist goes to greet the fans and Barb boots him. Titan gets in. Barb hits kicks on him. Titan chops him and Barb knocks him down with a punch. Barb wristlocks him. Titan cartwheels and headflips out then armdrags him. Titan dropkicks him out.

Titan hits kicks on Oro. Then he AA's him into a neckbreaker. Titan top rope double stomps Oro and pins him. Mistico's team wins the fall.

3rd Fall - Titan hits kicks on Oro. Titan gordbusters him and upkicks him. Titan walks up the buckles, does rope tricks and does a springboard diving headscissors + armdrag on the heels. Mist sends the heels into each other. Mist 619's Oro then springboard diving headscissors Barb. Mist springboard diving headscissors Oro. Mist and Titan hit stereo topes outside.

Mist flying headscissors Barb out. Mist then tornillo dives him outside. Titan rolls up Oro for 2. Titan tope con hilos Oro outside. Mist springboard crossbodies Barb then la mistica's him. Mist submits him immediately. Mistico's team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: There was no reason to expect Mist's team was losing here. I had no issue with this. They kept it moving and it never really turned into the tornado tag that a lot of these bouts end up being. The faces flew a bit, the heels did some basic heeling and the match ended. It was no one's best effort by any means and definitely the standard Mistico match, but it was timed well and worked. This was okay.

Overall thoughts: I'm not sure what was going on here but it was a shorter show. Everything for the most part was rushed. Nothing got a lot of time and they didn't try to do anything great. I have no idea why either. It was a forgettable and unimportant show for the most part. I liked the main the best but it was just the usual Mistico match. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 as everything as this was a very average show. I would not recommend this at all.
