Thoughts: Trey had a decent showing here. The break kind of ate this one up a little and I feel like we didn't see all that much of it. John and Jason tried to avoid each other here.  It didn't get enough time.

Mustafa Ali does a promo from the hospital. He says Jason told him he'd put him in the dirt and got close to it. He says Jason fractured his ribs when he dived off the cage onto him. He says it's painful and said the only more painful thing is someone disrespecting his wife and daughter and getting away with it. Ali says they have taken this too far. Ali says they should call a truce and Jason should rejoin Order 4. He says it's open arms or a call to arms.

The Righteous go up top Swann and BDE. They ask if BDE thought about what they said. Vincent says he knows BDE Wants his first big win. Swann says they want them to get out. Dutch says he will go talk to Daria and give BDE his moment in the sun. He says they will go 1v1 and maybe he wins and maybe he doesn't.

Thoughts: I wasn't shocked by M winning. This is TNA - when you have a chance to make a face lose a big match like this, you always take it. It was definitely better than the average Knockouts match and these two are clearly two of the more gifted women on the roster athletically. It never really became great but it was good effort and it was okay. Jada should have won, but that's just not what they do here.

We see Jeff Hardy is being put in an ambulance. Matt Hardy doesn't know what happened and wants to ride in the ambulance with him. Jeff is the latest guy to be attacked by the unknown person.

Indi Hartwell comes out to talk. She says she's a little p!ssed as she heard Daria Rae say she's not deserving of a title opportunity. Indi says she's been watching wrestling since she was 8. Indi says there was no Plan B and she traveled around the world for this. She says she's in her prime and won't let anyone stand in her way anymore.

Daria Rae comes out. She calls Indi mediocre. She says she can't stand people who think they deserve an opportunity over others because they idolized wrestling. She says money equals opportunities in the real world. She says she hasn't brought TNA money and tells her to take her undeserving @ss back to catering and tells her to stop disrespecting her name. Indi says she's referring to when she called her "diarrhea" on the Lockdown pre-show. 

Daria says there's consequences and Indi asks if she will fire her. Daria says she'd kick her @ss back to Kangarooland if she faced her in the ring. Indi says just because Daria's career was a failure doesn't mean she needs to ruin other's careers. Indi says she will become Knockouts champ with or without her. Daria says good luck with that. Indi then gets nailed from behind by the former Zoey Stark of WWE. Zoey hits a Z360. They call her "Zoey Serrano". Daria then introduces us to Zoey Serrano, the newest Knockout and her good friend. Zoey and Daria shake hands.

Thoughts: It's a good pick up for TNA. Zoey couldn't stay healthy but she was always good in the ring in WWE. She will be an addition around here.

Harley Hudson talks to Indi Hartwell. They complain about Daria Rae. Indi says Daria messed with the wrong one and she's not going anywhere. Hudson says she has her back. Xia Brookside comes in and mocks them. Xia tells Daria told Indi she won't ever get a Knockouts Title shot. Indi backs her up. Santino comes in and says he can make the match. Daria Rae comes in and says she went to the board about Indi's verbal and physical assaults. She says no title match for her. Santino says he can make a tag match with Indi/Hudson vs Xia/Zoey.

Leon corkscrew dives on Ryan over the post. Nic superkicks RS for 2. RS powerbombs Nic off a fameasser attempt for 2. RS flies at Nic and is hit with a danger zone. Nic pins RS.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout. I figured the heels would win here and they did. The faces did some flying and put on a decent show before going down.

Overall thoughts: The first two matches didn't get enough time and it's a shame as both were looking to be decent bouts. M vs Stone was the clear match of the night. They got a lot of time, they had a match way above the usual level of women's wrestling we get here and it was a decent showing for both. I liked that match, but Jada should have won. Zoey Stark debuted after. The main was fine as well. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as the show was okay overall.

He says being a bounty hunter isn't in you, it's on you. He says he's here to show that Texas is here to stay and there's bounty he won't be willing to put his life on the line for. BK then puts down his hat with the snake mouth on it and CC gets scared. 

Trent says he wants to thank Don Callis for setting them up with this easy win before the match starts. He says they are about to embarrass their opponents and want Mike Bailey, Dorada and Mistico to watch.

Sammy Guevara and The Beast Mortos do a promo. Sammy says they lost their tag titles but that's the past. He says the future is bright. He says every great place is with LFI.

Ari says not to treat Mark like that. Ari says Beef will do The Athletes cheer tonight since Mark can't. Beef tries to get the fans to do "Athletes Rule" but they don't.

Thoughts: It was average. The Gang won as expected. Mark Sterling must not be too hurt as he took a bump here off the apron. 

Overall thoughts: It was a total waste of time here. We had  7 matches and 3 were squashes. There were few storyline developments as usual and nothing here was that good. This was also only one hour for some reason (likely the NFL). Deonna's match was the best thing on here but that's not saying much at all. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 and this was below average.

Overall thoughts: Zamaya won a quick squash here. Lee/Kushida had interference which dragged it down and they didn't get a good rhythm going. The main was fine but nothing memorable. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall as it was average.

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/maple-leaf-pro-wrestling-mayhem-8192026.html

We are in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Don Callis and Mauro Ranallo are our hosts.

We get a video of Judas Icarus and Travis Williams. We see them playing cards and see Judas fighting off some people. The voiceover guy says you don't want to be on his bad side and nobody knows how he got his Sinner nickname. The voiceover guy says Travis is more of a snake then a saint.

Steve Maclin vs Psycho Mike

SM nails Mike as he enters on the ramp. Mike is sent into the steps. SM hits punches and boots on him in the corner. The match then officially starts. SM stomps Mike in the corner and back elbows him. SM suplexes him. 

SM chops Mike. Mike chops back. SM knees him in the gut. SM boots him out of the corner. Mike spinebusters him. Mike hits running backsplashes. Mike flying pump kicks him in the corner and running lariats him. 

Mike then asks if we want to see a bodyslam. PCO and Dan Maff fight on the stage. Security tries to break them up and fails. They then fight to the back. SM double underhook ddt's Mike and pins him.

Thoughts: I don't really get why they had Mike lose here since they are pushing him. The brawling kind of interrupted the match here and what we got was average. Steve did need to win this though since it was his MLP debut.

Steve Maclin then talks on the mic after. He said he heard all his life that the best wrestlers come from Canada. He names Kenny Omega, Adam Copeland and Jericho. He asks why they all end up becoming stars in America. Steve says Canada is only a feeder system to the US. He says Canada grows the product but they make that profit. He says Canada produces wrestlers but America produces legends.

We hear from the people in the main event.

Rohan Raja says he lost more than the title when he lost the Champion's Grail. He says he lost his direction. He says then he got to be in CMLL's Grand Prix. He says he didn't come to Mexico to look for another title and found a new purpose there. 

I won't be covering the main event. Nikki Storm (formerly Nikki Cross in WWE) got the pin and won.

Overall thoughts: I only saw 3 of the 4 matches here. The opener had the usual issues mixed tags/intergender matches have where the men aren't smart enough to hit the women and the women beat up the much larger men easily. Rudra won a squash. Steve Maclin then beat Psycho Mike. I don't agree with them having Mike job so much since they are clearly pushing him to be someone here. I do think they have too many people coming in right now as Nikki Storm, Sinner and Saint and Dan Maff are all coming in. That's going to be an issue when the show only has 3-4 matches each time. Like the other MLP episodes, I wasn't really impressed with this one and would just give it a 4 out of 10. I thought it was average.

We are at the Performance Center. Robert Stone and Blake Howard are on commentary.

Brooks Jensen does a video. He says he's not running away from Elijah Holyfield. He says his boots don't run away from anyone, they kick some @ss. He says they will be surrounded by dangerous superstars tonight. He says he will teach him one final lesson and expose him in front of his peers. He says he took him to the lumberjacks so they can finish the job for him. He says he will show baby Elijah is a colossal failure.

Thoughts: PJ losing was a surprise. I don't know what the deal is, but there is someone backstage who isn't happy with her development. It was fine otherwise though. Luck was kind of a generic face but did alright with it.

PJ and Sloane Jacobs argue after. Sloane leaves.

Gianna Capri does a promo. She says she's an Italian Jersey girl. She says she's not here to make friends and isn't here to wait in line for an opportunity. She says she's new here but she's not new to wrestling. She says she wrestled in Japan and was a ballerina for 20 years. She says ballet taught her discipline and how to make competition look effortless. She says she's not Anya Rune's biggest threat, accountability is. She says it's good if she rubs people the wrong way. She says if she's too much for you, she only gets worse from her. She says if you can't handle the sauce, stay out of the kitchen. 

Chazz "Starboy" Hall vs Kale Dixon

Kale comes out with Alix Brooks.

They lock up and Kale slams him for 2. Kale spinning corner lariats him. Star sunset flips him for 2. Star rolls him up for 2. Star spin kicks him in the gut then spin kicks him in the face. Star top rope diving corkscrew armdrags him and dropkicks him. 

Star superkicks him in the gut. Kale drops Star throat first on the ropes. Kale lariats him and clubs on him. Cappuccino Jones is in the VIP Lounge. Star is put in tree of woe and is booted. Kale bridging revese ddt's him.

Star rolls him up for 2 and Kale gets a 2 count on him. Star superkicks him. Star gets on the 2nd rope and Alix trips Star. Kale spinning forearms Star and pins him.

Thoughts: Star had some nice flying here and Kale kind of stuck to simpler and rougher offense. It was acceptable but Kale could have used some more exciting offense here.

Cappuccino Jones talks to tar after and tells him not to worry about it.

Elijah Holyfield does a promo. He says Brooks Jensen's arrogance is strong but his spirit is weak. He says he's coming for revenge for the cheap shots and lies. He says the biggest mistake he could make is talking down on his name. He says he's been ready and will knock him out for good. 

Layla Diggs vs Zena Sterling

This was taped quite a while ago as Diggs has been out on injury for a few weeks. 

They lock up and go to the ropes. Zena waistlock takedowns her. Diggs splits out of a waistlock and rolls her. Zena sweeps her and rolls her into a 1 count. Zena cravates her.  Zena shoulders her over. Diggs kips up and Zena counters a takeover with a chinlock. 

Zena is pump kicked over the 2nd rope then she is stomped and booted in the corner. Diggs hits corner spears. Diggs flying pumping knees her for 2. They punch each other. Zena backdrops her.

Zena backsplashes her then short arm lariats her for 2. Diggs gordbusters her. Diggs gets a 2 count on her. Zena tilt-a-whirl slams her for 2. They trade pin attempts. Zena pins her while holding the tights and with her foot on the ropes.

Thoughts: It was surprising to see Diggs lose here since she's now an NXT girl. It started off good but lost it's momentum half way through and I'd only say it was average. Zena cheating to win is something different. Diggs was a face here.

Zena talks in her language into the camera after.

Vanta The Unknown does a video where she talks about various wrestlers. She doesn't name anyone though. We get lots of video graphics. She says to fear the unknown.

Harlem Lewis comes out to talk. Lewis says he walked in and out of the four-way as champ. He says that's how the rest of his title reign will go. He says he knows he needs a new #1 contender. He says he doesn't care how it is picked but he wants to know who it will be. Lewis asks for a #1 contender's match to be set up.

Harley Riggins interrupts. He says there won't be a #1 contender's match. He says he will rip the title off of him and cool him off. He says he smoked Ulka and Tate. He says Lewis isn't the baddest man here as he is. He says he's the big rig and will pump his rig into the title. Lewis asks if he got permission from daddy Kam Hendrix before coming out. Harley says he thought he was a fighting champ and says he should sit there and cry like a little b!tch. Lewis goes out after him and they fight. Security tries to break it up then Timothy Thatcher tries to help break it up.

We cut to the back. The Mog Squad jump Aaron Rourke in the back. Aaron slaps Max and is put in a full nelson by CJ Valor while the others yell. Max says this is a message to the whole roster and says if you mess with them, you'll find out what happens.

Next week is a #1 Contender's Fatal 4-Way Special with Men's and Women's 4-Way #1 Contender's matches. 

Lumberjack Match - Brooks Jensen vs Elijah Holyfield

This is Eli's biggest match to date.

BJ eye rakes him and enzugiri's him. BJ shining wizards him. BJ backdrops him for 2. Eli forearms him and BJ rebound lariats him. BJ comes off the 2nd rope and is powerslammed down for 2. 

BJ goes out and shoves one lumberjack into Shido Ash. Ash hits that guy, Zanov throws Marcus Mathers and everyone fights. Romeo Moreno tope con hilos outside. BJ tries to escape up the aisle. Sam Holloway comes out and throws him in the ring. Eli uppercuts BJ and pins him.

Thoughts: Lumberjack matches aren't known for being classes. I can't even tell you what the best one I ever saw was. They did the right stuff with Eli have a nice comeback and BJ having some nice stiff offense but it was average. We did get the big fight between the lumberjacks here as is starting to become customary in these matches.

Overall thoughts: Luck/PJ was fine. Starboy/Kale was acceptable. Diggs/Zena was average after getting off to a good start. The main event was also average as most lumberjack matches tend to be thought were nothing particularly wrong with it. They got a lot of stuff done here and the show was acceptable as a whole, just there was nothing must see. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

AEW Dynamite 8/26/2026

AEW Dynamite 8/26/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/aew-dynamite-8192026.html

Thoughts: It wasn't super exciting. It was a slower match and I didn't think it was that good. The crowd didn't seem that into it either. They did some of each other's moves here and Mox won as expected. Mox seemed to hurt his left arm here, which isn't good with All In coming up.

The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and Adam Copeland vs The Don Callis Family (Brian Cage, Jake Doyle and Rocky Romero)

Cope side headlocks Jake. Cope hits shoulderblocks and Jake shoulders him back. Jake takes a double back elbow. The Bucks hit stereo bulldogs on Cage and Jake. RR takes a sunset flip + german. Cage is then held for a dropkkick which sends him off the apron.

Cage takes double superkicks and RR hits a double hurricanrana. RR poses then is double superkicked from behind. The Bucks hit  slingshot plancha's outside. Cope spears RR and pins him.

Thoughts: It was the usual Bucks match with them doing every spot they know and everyone else just kind of being there along for the ride. It was acceptable as it didn't go too long but I can't imagine Cope was real thrilled with this one. I was surprised Cope even teamed with The Bucks since they haven't been getting along. 

Christian Cage comes out after. Cage tells The Bucks to sit down and shut their mouths. Cage says they have been influential but aren't legends like them. Cage says some people call their match a dream match but it's another day at the office. He says they will find out the difference between influence and legendary. The Bucks say they have named things after them but asked if they ever named a company after them. A Buck says they accidentally superkicked him last time but it won't be one next time. 

Cage low blows a Buck and is superkicked. Cope then spears a Buck. Cage and Cope then hold their titles up.

MJF initially comes out to Andrade El Idolo's music but then his music hits. MJF says it's great to be here in "Ireland" and he asks what the difference is? He says he paid off some people to warm up Andrade and he's not here. MJF says MJF is here though. 

MJF says he can do all the things Andrade does. He says finding a to woman here is impossible and offers to take a photo with a girl in the front row. He says he has to say a crappy catchphrase first. Andrade then shows up behind him and says his "How you know?" line. Andrade then nails MJF with the mic and hits knees to the gut. MJF then escapes up the ramp.

Chris Jericho does a promo. He says it's the biggest week in AEW history. He says he's the first AEW champ and knows how important that is. He says that's why he's entering the Casino Gauntlet. He says he wanted to get some momentum heading in and will be in a trios match on Collision. 

AEW Continental Cup Semifinal - Kyle O'Reilly vs Nigel McGuinness

They trade forearms for euros. They bang heads and Nigel rebound lariats him for 2. Nigel then submits him with a london dungeon.

Thoughts: It was all technical wrestling here with some hard shots thrown in. Nigel worked the arm a bit before winning with an arm submission. The big news here was Kyle's cheek/area under the eye swelling up here. Nigel was the favorite going in as Britain is his home. I don't know if Nigel winning was really the best call for things storyline wise though. It was okay.

Don Callis and Kyle Fletcher are interviewed. Don says there's always competition amongst alpha athletes but he expects them to run the play. Kyle says he trusts Don. He says he's willing to run the play. He wonders if Okada will. Kazuchika Okada comes in. He says Kyle can trust him. Kyle says Okada didn't turst him last week when he got jumped. Okada says he's always thinking about himself and says, "Family Kyle, Family".

Thoughts: The finish was random with Pers beating Maya. I didn't expect that one. What we got was fine. Lena hit a stiff pump kick on Maya here.

JP comes off the 2nd rope, takes a JML driver and is pinned.

Thoughts: They had some messy moments here and the finish was kind of messed up. Swerve just couldn't catch him like he was supposed to and it brought this one down. Swerve won here but his booking has been all over the place and this didn't do much for him.

We get a video on Will Ospreay vs Kenny Omega.

 Overall thoughts: Kenny Omega didn't show up here. There's no excuse for it. This is the last Dynamite before the biggest show of the year and he's in the main event. That's just no acceptable in 2026. It was a bit of a weird card otherwise. It was heavy on the wrestling and because it was the go home show, we didn't get a lot of developments. I really don't get why Mox/CC was the opener instead of the main since it was the biggest match on here. The crowd was either quiet or not mic'd well here also. 

I didn't like Mox/CC and thought it was boring. Cope's trios tag was fine as was Kyle/Nigel.The women's trios match was also alright. The main wasn't that good with Swerve struggling to catch Jack Perry multiple times which hurt the match. 

I'd give it a 5 out of 10. It didn't do much to hype me up for All In and the show just felt off. I thought it was average.

Cage F-5's Serp. Serp 2nd rope deadlift superplexes him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was all squash here as it should have been. Serp got a little in but was largely ineffective before being put down.

Shane forearms SB and Lee STO's SB. SB germans Shane. Bob full nelson's Lee and SB step up knees Shane in the corner. Bob spears Shane and SB pins Shane.

Thoughts: I didn't lie it. Bravo hit the faces in front of the ref and the ref didn't care. It went long and it was slower. I didn't think The Hurt's got enough in after. And while this was taped, they chose a bad time to air this as Shane's crew is currently in a business agreement with The Hurt's in storyline.

Bravo grabs The Hurt's after. Orange Cassidy comes in and pushes Bravo for some reason. The Hurt's then raise OC's arms. 

Overall thoughts: OC vs Yuta wasn't bad but had the usual OC pockets spots which I didn't like. Top Flight's match was fine. Julia Hart and Bryan Cage basically won squashes. The main wasn't that good as the heels should have been DQ'd and it went too long. It was also slower paced. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was average overall. There was nothing you need to see here.
