EPW Wrestling 4/4/2026 Episode #236

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/epw-wrestling-3212026-episode-234.html

Gene Jackson and Joey Gross are on commentary. It's Diana Taylor and ODB vs Madi the American Bdi and Bobbi Thunder in the main event tonight. We also have The Black List vs The Order.

EPW Tag Titles - The Order (Ethan Ross and Izzy Rotten) (c) vs The Black List (Cody James and Chris Styles)

Hollywood Jimmy is with The Order. We go to break and return as soon s it starts. Izzy's arm is wristlocked. Ross tags in. Cody throws him over by the wrist and wristlocks him. Izzy tags in and is put back in the wristlock. Cody rope walks and Izzy throws him down. Cody tries to tag out during the rope walk but the ref doesn't allow it.

Cody gets chinlocked by Ross. Izzy double axe handles Cody then chinlocks him. Cody elbows Izzy in the gut. Izzy corner splashes him. Cody boots him out of the corner. Cody flying lariats Izzy. Chris tags in and hits punches on the heels. Chris sends Ross out then flying euros Izzy. Ross tries to hit Chris with a title belt but Chris twisting neckbreakers him. Chris grabs the belt and the ref stops him. Izzy then punches Chris with a weapon and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a brief bout here with the heels cheating to win. It wasn't too much of note. Them going to a commercial as soon as the initial lock up happened was a bit comical.

Izzy argues with a little kid in the front row after.

"2 Smooth" Tye Miller vs DNA

DNA is from "Location Classified".

Tye evades him and slaps him. Tye dropkicks him twice then corner splashes him. Tye corner enzugiri's him then backflip double kicks him. DNA knees him in the gut and spins in mid air into a ddt. DNA then pins him.

Thoughts: It was just a quick squash. DNA has a cool look and the announcers put him over. Tye was moving well and it's a shame we didn't get more of this. 

DNA hits another mid-air spin into a ddt after.

We The Order in a car driving up to Aaron Roberts outside. They attack him 4v1. They then drive into him with the car! Aaron is then left laying.

Thoughts: WOW. They had some guts to do that angle. This is pretty wild stuff for a promotion like this.

Ethan Steele vs "Kickflip" Isiah Cone

Ethan's graphic said "Ethan Cross" but the commentators and announcer called him "Ethan Steele", so I will go with that.

ES forearms him and side headlocks him. ES shoulders him over. Cone running facekicks him then slams him. Cone bottom rope knee drops him. Cone chops and forearms him. Cone dropkicks him for 2. Cone misses a corner facekick. ES lariats him.

Cone facekicks him on the apron then slingshot cutters him for the win.

Thoughts: What we got was fine here. Cone had some decent offense. Ethan threw some nice punches and was a pure heel.

Zay Washington comes out. He grabs Cone's skateboard and hits him in the face with it. Zay then does his exploder slam. Zay stands over him then takes Cone's skateboard. Zay then asks the fans if they want to buy a skateboard.

ODB drinks from her flask. DT bands Magi's head into ODB's crotch. DT snapmare drivers Madi and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a little disappointing. We didn't get to see a ton of ODB here and she was the big draw. The work was average here. I just didn't feel very fulfilled coming out of this one. ODB just didn't deliver the big @ss whooping you'd want to see and they didn't get a great hot tag for her either.

ODB stands on Madi as she celebrates after. Bobbi carries Madi out. ODB and Diana then drink together in the ring. 

Overall thoughts: It was a bit of a disappointing episode. The matches were all shorter and none of them were that great. DNA wrestled on this show and he has a good look. He may be worth keeping an eye on. The angle with Aaron Roberts getting run over by a car was pretty wild. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and just thought it was average.

Thoughts: The mini's are pretty limited because of their size. There is some charm to what they do though. They tried but it wasn't great or anything. The staff having to move the stepladder around for them was a bit comical.

Thoughts: It was a fun match with Los Pantera doing a bunch of flying. They kept this brief as well so we got the highlights and little downtime. I'm a big fan of Pantera and him having two sons who are pretty similar to him is pretty cool.

Thoughts: We knew this was going to be a technical bout going in and that's what it was. It was fun to see someone who could actually hang with Xel on the mat. Solar is very impressive for his age and he is clearly more skilled than most of the wrestlers today. It was a fun throwback match with some good technical wrestling. 

All the wrestlers come in and take a group photo with Solar. They then do a cheer.

CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Title Match - Los Villanos (El Hijo del Villano III & Villano III Jr.) (c) vs. Los Hermanos Calavera (Calavera Jr. I & Calavera Jr. II)

This was heel vs heel but The Calavera's ended up being the faces. The Calavera's got a whooping for the first half of this then took over. They had a wild spot with a Villano doing an AA off the 2nd rope to a Calvera onto the other two wrestlers. One of the Villanos landed very hard on the floor a springboard swanton outside. For the finish, a Villano missed a moonsault then got rolled up by the Calavera's. This got a lot of time of time and they really went all out for it. I thought it was pretty good.

Sob fosbury flops Mist outside. Sob top rope tornillo's Clon inside. Clon pele kicks him. Clon does a neat made in Japan variation on Sob and pins him.

Thoughts: This was classic CMLL. Soberano is pretty over yet all CMLL does is job him out. And for Clon...who is a lowcarder in AEW. The match was okay enough but nothing too memorable. It just didn't get enough time and had no real build for it to be great.

Clon seems to want a title match with Mist after and he kicks his handshake away. 

Overall thoughts: It was a good show overall. The Villano's/Calavera's match was the best bout on here with them getting tons of time and both teams going all out. I enjoyed Solar vs Xelhua too and the main and semi-main were fine. They put out a better card than usual for this one and it delivered. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 as it had a lot of variety and the bigger matches delivered.

Overall thoughts: There was only one new match and one new interview...and the interview got cut off half way through without explanation. We also had the usual recaps and old matches. You don't need to see this but you can get through all of the new content in 10 minutes.

Thoughts: I didn't like Darkstate losing here but it was entertaining otherwise. Saints and Page kept getting on the same page and the finish was funny. Cutler had one of his best showings so far. He was swinging everyone around with gutbusters and backbreakers and it made him look like a powerhouse. He needs to be doing that from now on. I liked it and it was a different kind of tag match than usual.

Tony chokeslams Page after.

Jaida Parker does a promo. She says she's sick of people like Kelani Jordan who try to get one of her. She says Kelani got beat and tried to get even with her after the match.

Thoughts: It worked. Star got to show his flying off and King won as expected. Star was rushing a bit but he can do a lot with ease.

Myles Borne tells Robert Stone he returned the favor tonight by interfering and Stone says you can't interfere here. Tony D'Angelo comes in. He says he wants Ethan Page and Stone says he can make that happen. Tony then ends up staring down at Keanu Carver.

Thoughts: This was basically an intergender match when it should have been a mixed tag. As always, the girls beat up on the boys and the boys were too dumb to hit them back. I didn't like all that. It had some issues as when the girls or boys had to tag in, the momentum got lost.

Robert Stone is interviewed in the back. He says next week will be the start of a 2 week NXT Revenge special. He runs down the card and says Kali Armstrong will debut. 

Kali Armstrong does a video. She says she watched Stand and Deliver from home but will be on the show next year. She says that's not arrogance. She says she lived on food stamps and Section 8 housing. She says she doesn't want to fit in and believes in results and W's.

Next week has Tony D'Angelo vs Ethan Page for the NXT Title, a Joe Hendry concert and Kelani Jordan vs Jaida Parker.

Lola Vice comes out to talk. She says she became the first Cuban American champ in WWE history. She says she was the biggest signing of the year in 2022. She says she thought she was going straight to the top but got humbled. She says she had to earn her place here but wasn't ready. She says this is proof that earning something will always mean more than having it handed to you. She says she's no longer the girl who came from MMA, she's a WWE superstar.

Fatal Influence comes out. Jacy tells her to enjoy the win as it's the last win she will get from her. She says she has done this before and says she will be set up to be a 3x champ. Lainey says Jacy is the definition of Evolving. She says she ran this division.

Robert Stone comes out. He says Jacy can have her rematch next week. Lola says she will knock her out again. Fatal Influence then jump Lola. Lola gets the edge and sends them all off.

Overall thoughts: There was a lot going on here like usual. I liked everything except the intergender match. I'd say the 8-man tag was probably the best thing on this one. I had no problem with this one and thought they did a decent job. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and it was an okay show.

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/nwa-powerrr-3312026.html

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

We get a video on Silas Mason vs Bryan Idol to start. 

NWA World Title - No Disqualification - Silas Mason (c) vs Bryan Idol

Idol cashed in his Lucky 7 clause on his TV Title to get this shot.

SM facekicks him and hits forearms and chops. Idol slingblades him out of the corner. SM lariats him. SM is pushed into the buckles and dropkicked. Idol flying knees him in the corner. SM tour of the islands backdrops him. 

SM is up top and gets hit. Idol superplexes him. Idol sets up a table outside. SM's head is banged off of it. Idol's arm is banged off the steps. SM is tripped into the steps. Idol headbutts SM outside. SM rams Idol's back into the post. SM chokes him with a cable.

SM hits him with a chair. SM is back body dropped through a table. Idol drops him with punches. Kerry Morton and Alex Taylor come out and grab Idol. SM nails Kerry on accident then Idol knocks AT away. Idol dropkicks SM off the apron onto his partners. 

Caranage of BFT grabs Idol as he tries to get in the ring. SM hits a thrill ride on Idol and pins him.

Thoughts: It was sadly a shorter bout that had a lot of shenanigans in it. It was average. I'm not sure why Carnage came out since he's not involved with The Six. I didn't expect Idol to win here, but this definitely isn't the end of the feud with these two.

Liviyah does a promo. She says this has meant the world to her. She says she now gets a shot at the title thanks to Natalia Markova. She says Markova is the champ the fans deserve but she won't be champ anymore when she makes the NWA live and learn.

Thom Latimer does a promo. He says he chose El Dragon Nihan as his Crockett Cup partner as he's a monster. Nihan walks in. He says they came out of a place where people go to die. He says they aren't pretty and they destroy and take gold. Thom says you will know our names and fear us.

Gut Check Challenge (#1 Contender to the NWA National Title) - Hayden Backlund vs Cristiano Argento vs Will Austin

This will be the second Will Austin match that was aired this week (ROW had him on), so he's getting around. The winner of this gets an immediate title shot after.

CA facekicks Hayden. Will springboard headscissors CA. Hayden trips Will. Hayden back elbows Will. Will headscissors + side headlock takeovers his opponents. Will hits a double os cutter. Will tope con hilos Hayden through the ropes. Will's head is banged off the step.

CA hits mounted shots on Hayden then bangs his head off all 3 buckles. CA fisherman suplexes Hayden for 2. Will top rope diving lariats CA for 2. CA drops Will chest first on the mat. Will hurricanrana's CA over after Hayden superkicks CA. Hayden chickenwings CA and submits him.

Thoughts: It was a shorter bout and a bit clunky as these tend to be. It wasn't that good. At least Hayden got a win. 

NWA National Title - Mike Mondo (c) vs Hayden Backlund

Mike nails him with a big forearm then chops him down. Mike knees him in the gut then overhead belly to belly suplexes him. Mike bites Hayden in the eye. Mike rubs his elbow on Hayden's eye and kicks him in the gut. Mike cobra clutches him.

Mike slams him. Mike misses a top rope diving headbutt. Hayden rolls him up for 2 then cradles him for 2. Hayden backslides him for 2. Mike blocks a sunset flip. Mike hits him in the gut then forearms him from behind. Mike hits a fireman's carry gutbuster and pins him.

Thoughts: Mike won as expected. The only question was how long it would take. I popped for Mike biting Hayden's eye. It was a bit one-sided and just average.

We are at the tattoo parlor. Thom Latimer says AJ Cazana has been getting the same tattoo for 2 weeks. Carson Drake comes in and makes fun of AJ. Joe explains that he's getting a Doc Holiday tattoo. Carson isn't impressed. Thom says they will stay up all night and watch them. Joe asks if they have somewhere battle to go and says there's a plane leaving for Paris. Joe asks why these people keep coming in and KC says it's because they like them.

Knox and Murdoch talk. Knox is supposed to find him a partner. He says he found someone who is  10 feet tall worth of dynamite, sick and twisted. It's Tyler Franks. Knox asks if he gets it and Murdoch says he does.

Kyle Davis talks to Mims and The Pope in the ring. They are asked about their match with The Slimeballz that is coming up. Pope says this isn't a smiling matter today and tells him to just hold the mic. Kyle asked about what their nickname would be and Pope just says it's "Success". Pope says this is all about arithmetic but the math ain't mathing. Pope puts over Mims. 

Mims says they break backs and jaws and asks why people think they can't break some balls. Pope says they will do what they have done time and time again and says they will go all the way. Pope says they will start with the Slimeballz. Mims says they will ride their @ss. 

The Slimeballz come out and they are over. They ask if The Pope is "Elijah Burke". They say they played him in a video game and say they want him to do the double knees. Sage says they want to take him to Slimeball City. Sage says they have nothing against them and it'll be friendly competition. He says it's nothing but friendly competition and spits in his hand for a handshake. The Pope and Mims leave.

Thoughts: The Slimez did what they were supposed to do here but Mims' and Pope's promo was awful. What I got out of it was that Mims wants to sleep with The Slimeballz.

Dr. Vik's Abode

Vik is on the phone. He's on the phone and says he will need "that favor" and says the guy knows what he means. Vik says he will have to call him back and says, "What in the hell?"

The Cazana's do a promo. He says he respects Murdoch but says Tyler Franks is a low life bum that cost them the US Tag Titles. Joe says they didn't forget. He says he did everything they could to hurt The Country Gentlemen. Joe says Murdoch is being brought to the slaughter. AJ says Murdoch can pick anyone he wants as a partner but it ain't Mike Knox.

NWA Women's Tag Titles - The Hex (Allysin Kay and Marti Belle) (c) vs Tiffany Nieves and Greta

Tiff goes to lock up with MB then tags out. Greta pushes MB down off the lock up. Tiff tags in. MB forearms her down and out of the ring. Greta and Kay get in. Kay lariats her and gets nowhere. Greta facekicks her down. Tiff boots Kay in the corner then facebusters her. Tiff stands on Kay's hair and pulls her arms.

Tiff facebusters Kay. Tiff springboard snapmare drivers Kay for 2. Greta tags in and corner splashes Kay. She corner splashes her again. Greta goes for the pin and Tiff wants in. MB gets in. She hits lariats on Tiff then hits a stroke on her. 

MB step up knees Tiff in the corner. Kay spin kicks MB. Tiff takes a double forearm and a double pumping knee for 2. MB hits Greta from behind. Ms. Star hits MB outside. Greta misses a charge outside and goes into the post. Tiff takes a double team dominator and is pinned.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. Tiff kept tagging in and out which made it hard to get anything going. Greta's still green and limited as well so she didn't get to do a ton. This also didn't get a ton of time.

Dr. Vik's Avode

The Slimeballz are hanging out and ask where the party is. Vik is very bummed and drinking. Sage says he would be drinking too and Rant says Vik looked like a dork. Slade tells Vik to be a real man. The Slimes say they wouldn't have taken that and they wouldn't either. They ask Vik what he will do about it and ask if he will man up.

We go back to the tattoo shop. The Paige Sisters and Tommy Henry come in. Joe asks why they are here. Kenzie says Joe's a cheat, scum and a piece of trash. She says she hates him. Joe asks why? Kenzie goes to jump over the rail after him and has to be pulled off. Joe asks what's wrong with these people? Joe says this reminds him of a story where he fought Ric Flair for the title in 1988. He says they don't call him the dirtiest player in the game for nothing. 

NWA Women's Title - Natalia Markova vs Liviyah

They shake hands. Liv side headlocks her. Nat trips her and running boots her in the face. Nat hits chest kicks. Liv takes her down and half-crabs her. Liv basement dropkicks her out of the ring. Liv then topes her outside.

Thoughts: Nat won as expected here after only a few minutes. Liv got to shine a bit and it's clear the promotion likes her. They didn't get enough time to make this good.

TV-MA come down and jump Markova after. Tiff chokes Markova then stands on her through. Greta chokeslams Markova. Tiff walks on Markova and poses on the ropes with her title.  

Overall thoughts: It was the usual below average NWA Powerrr show. Every match was short and because of it, none of them were that good. Silas/Idol didn't get much time and was disappointing. We got a couple of segments at the tattoo parlor and we got two more Dr. Vik segments as well with The Slimeballz oddly being his voice of reason. We also had an awful segment from Mims and The Pope. They built up some stuff for future episodes here as it seems like we are getting Nieves/Markova, likely a Carnage/Idol match and various Crockett Cup matches. I'd give it a 4 out of 10. Nothing was that good as usual and I felt slightly disappointed at the end of this. 

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/6/2026

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/6/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/wwe-monday-night-raw-3302026.html

We are in Houston, TX. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive and hang out. 

CM Punk heads to the ring. He says Houston is a wrestling town. He said he had good moments here but there's ghosts here that haunt him to this day. He brings up Paul Boesch and says he can't help thinking of old timers and wondering how they would do here. He says he wonder what would Harley Race do? 

He says Roman Reigns isn't here tonight. He says he couldn't wait to get his revenge on Roman and got his receipt at MSG. He says Roman hates him and he's where he needs to be. He says being hated by losers is the price he pays for not being one of them.

He says he near crippled Roman. He says he showed up though and he's an old man. He says his tools are self-made unlike Roman's, who are store bought. He says they are plastic like Roman. He says Roman is sent to Jimmy Fallon's show as he's safe, boring, plastic and manufactured.  

He asks why he can film movies and not miss a day while Roman uses it as a crutch to not show up. He says Roman puffs his chest up like he's The Rock. He says The Rock "was" a superstar and says Roman "was" a champion. He says his bloated cousin isn't on the Board of Directors. He says his dad wasn't a wrestler who gave him a job because he sucked at football. Punk says he paid his dues and says Roman is a nepo baby who ate dog food for a weird old man.

He says the weird old man treated him like a job but he had F-U money and left. He says Roman can't control him and that's why he hates him. He says Roman can brag about how many times he was in the main event of Mania, but they'd be fired if they were given the same opportunities and sucked at them like him. He says he can stand on the bridge and blow it up as he knows how to swim. 

He calls Pat McAfee a whipped dog and a hillbilly. He says Pat wrote a check his @ss can't cash. He tells Pat that if he's worried about Mania ticket sales, call his agent and lower the ticket prices. He says he will be d@mned if he lets him come to his business and talk about selling tickets. Punk says to lower ticket prices as he wants everyone to see him stand on Roman's throat.

Thoughts: It was a good promo with Punk doing worked shoots on various things. It helped a bit more than his segments with Roman leading up to it did. I wish we could get some good non-shoot promos though.

We see clips of LA Knight invading iShowSpeed's house and stream. We see him throw Speed into the camera.

iShowSpeed arrives and is looking for LA Knight. He runs into Danhasuen and asks him to break the curse. Dan says he saw the stream. He says he can uncurse him if he gives him his mansion. Adam Pearce comes in. Speed asks Adam to lift the curse. Danhausen then disappears. Adam tells him to go home and let The Uso's and The Vision work things out. Theory and Logan come in. They egg on Speed. Speed says he's leaving. Logan says Speed is screwed as Knight and The Uso's hate him. He says the only safe space is with them. They then get him to go with them.

The Vision of Logan Paul and Austin Theory come out with iShowSpeed. 

LA Knight vs Austin Theory

LA pushes AT into the corner. AT hiptosses him. LA his slams and AT goes out. AT hits shots in the corner. LA's head is banged off the buckles. AT hits back elbows and corner lariats. AT suplexes him for 2. LA shoulders him over. 

LA dropkicks him through the ropes. LA lariats him over the rail. LA poses on the rails and we go to break. We return and LA neckbreakers him off a suplex attempt. LA hits punches and flying lariats him. LA russian legsweeps him. LA jumping neckbreakers him for 2. 

At forearms him then rolls into a blockbuster for 2. LA lariats AT over the top. AT's head is banged off the commentary table. LA is distracted by iShowSpeed. Logan Paul pushes Speed into LA from behind. LA chases Speed. The Uso's come out as Speed walks up the aisle.

Speed jumps over LA somehow. Speed grabs the ring skit and is dragged in. Logan gets on the apron. LA nails him then AT rolls up LA with the tights and wins.

Thoughts: There was a lot of shenanigans here and with the break, there wasn't a lot to this. I don't like LA losing, but losing always is what he does. Speed's jump over LA was impressive.

Speed is cornered by the faces and says he didn't do anything. Jey grabs Speed. Logan saves Speed and pulls him out.

LA tells them not to go anywhere and tells Adam Pearce to come out here. LA says Speed cost The Uso's the tag titles. LA suggests a trios match at Mania with iShowSpeed, Logan Paul and Austin Theory vs LA Knight and The Uso's. Adam Pearce comes out. Adam says he told Speed he should have went home because now he's going to Mania. He says it's official. LA says what is official is them getting stomped out.

Michael Cole talks about how disappointed he is at Pat McAfee's turn on Cody on Smackdown. 

Finn Balor vs JD McDonaugh

Dominik Mysterio attacks Finn from behind as he heads to the ring. Finn then sends JD into the post. JD stomps Dom and throws JD out of the ring. Dom nails Finn in the back of the head with his AAA Mega Title.

JD gives Dom a chair and he nails Finn with it. Dom sits on a chair on top of Finn. 

We get a video on AJ Lee.

We see a taped interview with Michael Cole and AJ Lee. AJ says it's surreal to be back. Becky Lynch interrupts and calls Cole the worst announcer and interviewer in WWE. Cole says he doesn't need this and leaves. Becky sits down. She says she remembers the last Mania. She says AJ Lee saw her replacement years ago and quit. She says AJ won't have the home field advantage as Wrestlemania is her home. AJ says Becky made history but none of it happens without her. AJ says she knocked the doors down for Becky. AJ says she knows who she is. She tells her to ask her daughter who her favorite wrestler is and says she will say AJ Lee. AJ leaves and Becky gets mad. 

Bayley vs Lash Legend

They lock up and Bay is thrown out. Bay stomps on Lash. Bay hits her from behind. Bay hits kicks on Lash. Bay comes off the 2nd rope and is swatted down. Lash pump kicks her out and down to the floor.

We go to break and return. Lash is stunnered over the 2nd rope. Lash rams Bay into the buckles and backbreakers her for 2. Lash euros her for 2. Lash misses a splash. Bay dropkicks her a few times and running knees her. Bay 2nd rope elbow drops Lash's back for 2. Nia Jax trips Bay. Lash misses a corner spear.

Lyra jumps on Nia outside and is thrown into the apron edge. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss beat up Nia. Bay then dives onto all of them. Bay is up top and gets hit. Lash goes for 2nd rope superplex, Lyra is supposed to help but barely does and Bay falls on Lash for the pin.

Thoughts: There was a lot of shenanigans here and it was just a match and not much more. Bay won as expected.

We get a trailer for a Hulk Hogan documentary and the announcers say there wouldn't be Wrestlemania without him.

Seth Rollins comes out. He says he's been waiting for the fans to sing his song. He encourages the crowd to keep signing his song. He says he's back. He says he and Gunther don't have a long history and there's not a personal issue. He says he thinks Gunther has entered a business relationship with Paul Heyman.

He says he has 2 missions - take back the title he never lost and to kill The Vision. He says he put Brock LEsnar on a silver platter for Oba Femi. He says it has been made personal for him.

Gunther comes out and grabs Seth. Seth reverses it and kicks him out. Seth goes for a tope and is thrown onto the commentary table. Seth jumps on him off the commentary table. Officials come down and Gunther facekicks Seth. Officals break it up and Gun heads to the back.

Gunther talks to Paul Heyman. He says he doesn't know why Gunther did what he did. He says he owes him a big thank you. He says it's personal to Seth and personal to him as well. Gun shakes Paul's hand. Gun says Paul owes him more than a thank you.

Thoughts: This is a very weak and thrown together feud and this did nothing to make it make sense.

Stephanie Vaquer does a translated promo on Liv Morgan. She gets mad at her making mother jokes. She says she's a brainless b!tch who talks a lot but says nothing. She says she's trying to solve her daddy issues with Dom. Steph says she's trying to inspire girls. 

She says Liv won't see it coming and says Liv won't get her hands on the title. Steph says she will take her where no one can follow. 

Penta, Je'Von Evans and Dragon Lee vs Los Americanos (El Grande Americano, Rayo Americano and Bravo Americano)

Lee and Bravo shoulder battle. Lee flying headscissors him. Rayo flying headbutts Lee. Evans dropkicks Rayo. Evans cutters Rayo. Kofi Kingston is watching in the back.

Lee flying headscissors Grande off the apron. Penta canadian destroyers Rayo on the apron. Evans double jump cutters Bravo and wins.

Thoughts: It was all flying and fast paced action here and was entertaining as expected. 

Rey Mysterio comes out after. Rey says the ladder match at Mania could be one of the best in history. He says he missed Mania last year due to an injury. He says him and Pearce agreed the ladder match is missing one more person and it's him. Penta says let's make history.  

We get an Asuka video. She says Iyo Sky tried to take everything from her. She says she destroyed what they had and ripped their family apart. She says she came to WWE to pave the way for her and gave her everything. She says she never expected thanks and did everything out of love. She says she loved her too much and Iyo took advantage of her kindness. She says Iyo used her. She says she will always be her senpai. She says she will take everything away from her.

Thoughts: I kind of thought we were done with this feud and now it's back on.

Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley vs Michin and B-Fab

RR short arm lariats Fab then hits mounted shots. RR lariats her and throws Mich in. RR facekicks Mich. Fab boots RR over then hits mounted shots.

Jade Cargill pulls RR down from the apron. Iyo rolls up Fab and pins her.

Thoughts: It wasn't much of note and was average. Iyo's team won as expected and won with eyes. Mich and Fab didn't add much to this one.

The heels beat up Iyo after. Rhea helps fight of the heels. Jade pump kicks Rhea. Rhea is held in the corner and Jade nails Iyo with the kendo stick. Iyo takes a jade end.

Finn says maybe he brought this situation upon himself. He says he's the one who taught Dom how to play dirty. He says playtime is over. He says there's a side to him he hasn't shown him before nd Dom has awoken it. He says it's coming for Dom.

The Judgment Day talk in the back. Dom is concerned about what Finn said. JD says they need to worry about Rey Mysterio getting added to the title match. Dom says JD will bring the IC Title back to Judgment Day. Liv and Roxanne Perez talk. Liv thanks her for the help and says she appreciates her. She says there's an elephant in the room. She says Finn brought her into Judgment Day but he turned his back on them and they did what needed done. Steph Vaquer then nails Liv from behind, knocking her into Roxanne. Liv is then sent into a TV and breaks it. That spot looked good.

Triple H and Adam Pearce come out for the contract signing. Adam talks about Oba/Brock. Paul Heyman interrupts. 

Paul puts himself over as usual and brings out Brock Lesnar. He says Oba can't measure up to the real main event of Wrestlemania, Brock Lesnar. Brock comes down to the ring then Adam brings out Oba Femi.

Brock attacks Oba as he tries to get in. Brock is rammed into the post. Oba drives Brock through a table and pounds on him. Security tries to break it up as they fight and eventually does to close the show.

Overall thoughts: I didn't like this show that much. There were too many subtitled promos. The matches were nothing special and due to Mania being 2 weeks away, there was a lot more talk than action. I thought Punk did good in his promo, but I'm getting tired of the worked shoots and just want to see people cut good promos on each other. We didn't get much of an explanation on Gunther/Seth either which was disappointing. The Brock/Oba stuff was good though. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and thought it was average.

CWA Campeones del Hexagono 8/13/2022

CWA Campeones del Hexagono 8/13/2022

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/cwa-campeones-del-hexagono-862022.html

We are at Senor Frog's. Luis Toledo and Robert Diaz are on commentary. 

Manuel Rodriguez threatens Angel Rodriguez' crew. He said he represented the company and gave all his strength for it. 

We see Angel Rodriguez's crew laugh with Robert Diaz then we see clips of Los Inmortales injuring Manuel's arm with the tire iron as Angel watches. 

We get an ad for the 8/27 Summer Mayhem show.

Chris Ifer, Eddman & Rey Maldonado vs El Hijo del Enigma, Hulky Jr. & Sacrilegio

 

 

Enigma is in the black and red. Sac is in the purple, red and black. Hulky's in the white.

They take forever to get started. Ed boots Enigma. They wristlock each other. Ed yanks on the arm. Ifer keeps the wristlock on and hip throws him. Ifer goes for a crossface but Christos escapes. Enigma rolls him up then Ifer front facelocks and armlocks him. Ifer trips Hulk when he comes in. 

We go to break. Hiram Tua has taken over Super Georgie's training dojo and says he's the new master here. Super Georgie comes in and takes offense. The guy says he's superior to Georgie and says he's not up to the task. Georgie asks for one more chance against him. Georgie puts over his career and says he almost beat him. He asks for one more shot. Tua says if he beats him, he wants to be the official teacher of the club. Georgie agrees and asks him to go. Tua laughs as he leaves.

We return from break. Ifer side headlocks Hulky. Rey and Sac get in. Rey chops him in the corner. Sac boots him out of the corner. Rey fallaway slams him. Ed hits mounted shots on Sac. Ed goes up and over and takes a backhand. Sac hits punches on Ed then misses a corner splash. Ifer and Hulky get in. Ifer hits a big lariat then sitout spinebusters him for 2.

Hulky hits some forearms on Ifer. Ifer hits punches and chops on Hulky. Ifer is on the 2nd rope and Hulky reverse ddt's him down. Hulky knee drops Ifer for 2. Hulky's team works on Ifer in the corner. Ifer takes a double suplex. Ifer is sat up top and is punched. Ifer botches a 2nd rope sunset flip. Ifer suplexes Hulky.

Ifer spinebusters Enigma. Ifer takes a hiptoss neckbreaker from Sac then Rey flying single leg dropkicks Sac. Rey goes for his finisher then Ed tags himself in and gets the pin on Sac.

Thoughts: It wasn't anything too special here. Ifer had a bad night and the heels were clearly there to lose. The big news was Eddman stealing the pin at the end from Rey.

Alisson does a promo on Leandra. She says she wants a falls count anywhere match with her where it's anything goes. She says she's more violent than her.

CWA Heavyweight Title - Manuel Rodriguez (c) vs Orly Jr.

Orly is from Los Inmortales and MR is fighting Orly's partner Tapia after. Angel Rodriguez is with MR.

MR hits punches on Orly then thesz presses him. MR hits mounted punches and hiptosses Orly out.

We go to break. I think Romeo tells Super Georgie congratulations and tells him to get more victories. We return from break.

MR chases Orly and Orly misses an elbow drop on him. Orly jumping neckbreakers MR then hits punches to the head. Angel and Orly pull on MR's injured arm over the 2nd rope. Orly goes up and over then dropkicks him. Orly chokes MR.

They trade shots and Orly codebreakers the arm. Orly stomps him for 2. Orly looks away then gets hit with a big lariat. MR gets a 2 count off of it when Angel interrupts the count. MR neckbreakers Orly and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a little slow and not super exciting. Orly worked MR's injured arm and MR ended up winning as expected. 

Tapia runs in to start the next match.

CWA Heavyweight Title - Manuel Rodriguez (c) vs Tapia

Tap pounds on MR and MR fights back with one arm. Tap drops him with a shot then hits a big spear. Tap bangs MR's arm against the post. Angel Rodriguez gets in the ring and stomps MR for the DQ.

Thoughts: This wasn't long and Angel and Orly ran in for no reason when Tapia was in control to cause the DQ.

MR is triple teamed by Angel, Orly and Tapia. Angel's crew then poses in the ring. I think Romeo and someone else come to check on MR. Robert Diaz talks to the heels.

Angel's crew celebrates what they did to Manuel in the back. Angel mocks Manuel's injured arm. Romeo comes in and complains about them mocking Manuel. The heels celebrate their actions.

Overall thoughts: There wasn't much to see here. The opener wasn't that good. The 2nd and 3rd match were about Angel Rodriguez's crew trying to take out Manuel Rodriguez's arm. They did do a decent job of putting that story over though as the big 8/27 Summer Mayhem show approaches. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 overall.
