Sami Zayn complains to Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae in the back. LeRae asks Gargano when he will get up and do something about it and Sami says he will clear the air with Cody once and for all, thinking she was talking to him. Sami then thanks Gargano, who had said nothing.

Danhausen talks to Los Garza in his lair. They want Dan to re-curse The Knicks so they win a bet. Dan asks why he should care and they give him a bag of money.

Matt Cardona comes in and talks to Dan. Matt wants The Knicks to win and gives him a watch. Kit Wilson comes in and he shows us The Miz. The Miz is acting goofy and has his hair all spiked. Kit asks Dan to reverse this. Kit hits one of Dan's tools and gets himself shocked. He's shaking on the floor and Dan leaves.

Thoughts: This was wild even for WWE standards. If you told me I dreamt this one, I'd believe you.

He asks if they are the problem or if Cody is the problem.

Fatu and Solo Sikoa talk in the back. Fatu says he has a message from Roman. Fatu says Roman needs Solo to come home. Solo says that's not home, it's a doghouse and Fatu is his laptop. Solo asks what the hell happened to him and says he used to be a killer. He says he was close to beating Roman and is just his bag boy now. He says Fatu knows he is right too. 

Solo says Roman has done nothing but humiliate him and make him kneel down like a dog in front of the world and his family. Solo says that's not how you treat someone you love. Solo says he's not going back and says to tell Roman that he can go to hell. Fatu says he gets it but he made his decision and will stand on business. He says if Roman sends him for Solo, he's coming for him. Solo says to tell roman that if he wants to come home, he can come and get him.

Thoughts: It was a weird segment. Solo was totally a face and totally told the truth here. Fatu is acting like Roman's b!tch for unknown reasons and it doesn't help anyone or make much sense.

AAA Cruiserweight Title - Rey Fenix (c) vs Axiom

Rey side headlocks him and shoulders him over. Rey dropkicks him in mid-air then tope con hilos him through the ropes. Rey's springboard is caught. Ax half-nelson suplexes him and PK's him for 2. Ax armbars Rey.

They each get up top and Ax top rope spanish flies him for 2. Rey springboard spin kicks him twice (but totally misses the 2nd one). Rey mexican muscle busters him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a totally random one. The crowd wasn't that into it which isn't surprising. Rey totally missed some kicks here that got sold anyway. They did a lot of flying but it wasn't quite as good as it should have been. Ax's slide through the ropes german was a new spot I've never seen done before.

Gunther talks to Nick Aldis in the back. Gun says he needs a good guy to be the special ref and says it will be Sami Zayn. 

We see Trick Williams and Lil Yachty arrive.

Trick Williams and Lil Yachty come out. Yachty says Dom cheated Trick last week but Trick says he lost. Trick says it didn't feel good and he doesn't like it. He says it brought out a fire in him and made him want to step his game up. Trick says he's the leader of the new school. He says, "I'm Trick James B!tch". 

Ricky Saints interrupts and comes out. Carmelo Hayes then comes out and pushes Ricky aside. Ricky then grabs a mic. Melo says he feels likes he's listening to a Dr. Seuss book with Trick. Melo tells Trick to pick an opponent between him and Ricky. Ricky says he beats Melo and he should be the #1 contender. Melo says they need to cut him out of the picture as him and Trick had a thing first.

Trick says it doesn't matter and he will beat either one. He says whoever wins between them can fight and he tells them to shut up while he's talking.

Royce Keys is interviewed. Solo goes up to him. He says The Bloodline is here and he knows what they are doing here. Solo says The Bloodline is here to make sure Jey advances in KOTR. He says Fatu is here to help him. Solo says Keys calls Fatu family but it doesn't sound like family to him. Solo says he doesn't have to team with him but he doesn't want to see him be a casualty in Roman's war.

Tiff side headlocks Mich then cartwheels over him. Tiff running lariats her. Tiff cartwheel alabama slams her and Green low sliding flatliners Mich.

Green enzugiri's Fab. Fab misses a corner charge and goes shoulder first into the post. Green goes to tag Tiff and Jade Cargill pulls Tiff down from the apron. Green hits a killswitch on Fab. Mich hits a styles clash on Green and pins her.

Thoughts:
It didn't get too much time and was just an average match for the most part. I was surprised we didn't get more drama between Tiff and Green here.

Tiff nails Jade's crew in the ring after. She fights with Jade then is triple teamed. Jade drops Tiff with a jade end.

Kiana James is interviewed. She says her friend Giulia betrayed her. She says made her champ and Giulia needed her. She says she's useless. Giulia says she needed her help with English and contracts, not being a fighter. Giulia says she used her moment. Kiana says she eclipsed her.

Cody says Sami gave him one and he gave him one. Cody asks to tell him they are good. Sami says he's a wreck and his emotions are all over the place. He tells him good luck next week and Cody looks worried.

LA Knight is interviewed. LA says Bloodline is in the building but so is he. He says you can call him LA-damus. He says Jey was told to do it by himself but now Jimmy and Fatu are here. LA says he won't make promises. He says if he can defy the odds, he can wear the crown and stomp Roman out.

Jey Uso is in the concourse with the crowd but we can't hear him due to audio issues.

King of the Ring First Round - Jey Uso vs LA Knight vs Finn Balor vs Royce Keys

LA tries to run his music back again like Jey and Jey hits him. They pair off and fight. Keys splashes Jey and LA in the corner then splashes Finn. Keys double lariats LA and Jey together.

LA double jump elbow drops Keys. Solo samoan spikes LA. Keys spinebusters LA. Jey top rope splashes Keys and pins LA.

Thoughts: It was a decent main here with a table spot and people going over the rails. Keys had a bit of a sloppy night and they furthered stuff with Solo and Jimmy. Jey seems like he has an easy path to the finals of KOTR now. Finn probably could have used the win though.

Overall thoughts: It was an okay show. Gunther vs Cody with Sami as the special ref next week should be interesting and I'm curious to see where they are going with Solo. The opener was alright. Paige's tag match and Axiom's match wasn't that good. Tiffany's tag was average and I liked the main. The segment with Danhausen and The Miz was out there. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 here as there was some stuff I didn't like here. I thought it was acceptable overall.

Thoughts: It was a decent bout with Mansoor focusing the leg and Ace powering through it to win. Mansoor's leglock was neat here and I liked Ace having to do a one-legged springboard crossbody.

Thoughts: It wasn't quite as good as I hoped but it was mostly flying and cool moves. There was some okay stuff here but it went a little longer than it needed to. It was okay enough. Sol's mask looks cool but I don't think he's good enough at showing emotion when his face is covered.

Thoughts: Billie won as expected. This was mostly strike based. It was acceptable but not much more. It could have been a little more exciting.

Action Andretti does a promo. He says Solei impressed him, did his sh!t and got embarrassed just like QT and Lio. He says he's not the same Andretti and learned he can't trust anybody. He says he tried to be the nice guy and find out they finish last. He says he doesn't mind being the bad guy and says it's time to put Andretti first.

Thoughts: It was okay bout but it was a bit long and it felt like it wouldn't end at times here. The heels got most of the offense in this and we didn't see a lot of noteworthy stuff from Eddie here.

ROH World Title Proving Ground Match - Bandido vs Angelico

Ange wristlock him. Band headflips out and finger gun points at him. Band wristlocks him. Ange wristlocks him. Band ties his arms up and Ange ropebreaks. Band armdrags him and Ange tries a pin.

Band flying headscissors him. Ange blocks a 21plex. Band hurricanrana's him and pins him.

Thoughts: It didn't work as well as it should have. Ange wasn't doing all of his flips and stuff and Band was working against another face. This was also in front of an ROH crowd, who was as forgiving or as interested as AEW crowds are. I thought this was just so-so.

Overall thoughts: A lot of the wrestling was okay, but it was random. We also had quite a few battles where there weren't clear faces and heels here. That made this one hard to get into. A couple of champs were on the show which was nice. I wouldn't say there was a clear match of the night here as there were a couple of okay enough matches (Serpentico's, Eddie's and Ari Davari's match) but not any great ones. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as the wrestling was enough to carry this one. It was an acceptable overall.

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/tna-impact-642026.html

Note - Steve Maclin and Myla Grace left TNA last weekend. It's expected WWE will take Santana and Slater in the future. I really don't know who will be left in TNA at the rate things are going. I've never really seen a promotion get a big payday with a new TV deal and then lose everyone right after. The correct answer to this is to find some young talent, lock them in on long term deals and push them. What TNA will do instead is grab people who just got cut by WWE.

We are in Denver, CO. Matthew Rehwoldt & Tom Hannifan are on commentary.

TNA World Title Match - Mike Santana (c) vs. Eric Young

Mike running boots him, running backsplashes him and running sentons him. Mike corner cannonballs him. Mike sitout powerbombs him for 2. They go out and Mike pump kicks him there. 

They trade shots outside. Mike is sent into the steps and chokeslammed on the apron edge. EY neckbreakers him on the apron. We go to break and return. EY pulls Mike's neck over the top rope.

EY teases hitting the ref. EY hits Mike in the corner. EY goes up on the buckles and takes an overhead belly to belly down. Mike boots him out of the corner and enzugiri's him. Mike bulldogs him then backrolls into a cutter for 2. Mike hits an iconoclasm on him then death valley drivers him for 2.

Ricky Sosa comes out on the stage. EY gets distracted. Sosa dances there. Mike then rolls up EY and pins him.

Thoughts: The ending was weak here. Sosa was gone from TNA for a while for unknown reasons and now he's back. Mike won as expected here. It was acceptable but not much else.

Nic Nemeth comes out with the Call Your Shot trophy. Nic offers Mike help in getting up. Nic asks for the mic. He says he could call his shot right now, pick Mike's bones and become TNA champ. Mike tells him to come on. Nic says he's a man of his word and says he will call his shot at Slammiversary. They tug over the title and the crowd chants "do it now". They shake hands and Mike holds the title up at him.

Order 4 is interviewed. Ali mocks Nic and says what Nic did was an honorable but idiotic move. Ali says he lost to KC Navarro a few weeks ago but KC's uncle passed away earlier this week. He says KC wants to tell us how he's a fighter and says KC will scratch and claw this week. He says he will fight to the bitter end and lose like his uncle. Ali says he wants to send condolences to his family for their losses - both of them.

The Personal Concierge/George Iceman does the intro for Mr. Elegance. Elijah plays guitar for his entrance and has no music since AJ Francis bought it. He rips AJ Francis and calls him a fatheaded, no skill Uncle Phil. He says AJ wants to take his image and likeness and silence our voices. Eli asks who wants to walk with Elijah? He then plays the "Walk With Elijah" song. Brandon Barettta, an SICW wrestler who is acting as AJ's messenger, gives Eli papers. Eli complains and is hit from behind.

Elijah vs Mr. Elegance

Mr. Elegance sends Eli into Brandon Baretta and cradles Eli to pin him.

AJ Francis comes out and says Elijah loses again. He says he lost his name image and music catalog to the best big man in the business. He says he will also lose the cease and desist. He says he makes a lot of money and there's nothing we can do about it. AJ comes in the ring and Eli lariats him over the top. Eli plancha's him and beats up AJ in the crowd. Mr. Elegance then celebrates in the ring.

Lei Ying Lee comes in and ring and beats up Elegance. Lee top rope twisting blockbusters him. Lee then hits mounted shots on him. Xia Brookside comes out and throws down Lee. She then hits mounted shots on her. Lee hits her warrior's way drop. Xia escapes.

TNA Injury Report

The Hardy's are out and haven't been seen since last week's match. Trey Miguel is out. Moose is cleared.

Nic Nemeth and KC Navarro talk in the back. Nic tells him to do what he does and says he's in the zone. He tells him to win that title. KC says he's shocked at what Nic did earlier. He says Nic could have beaten Mike if he took advantage of him. Ryan Nemeth comes in and says Nic should have beaten Mike as that is what winners do. Nic says he will beat Mike face to face as that is what winners do. Mike Santana comes in. He says he doesn't trust anyone but he respects him for calling his shot face to face. Mike says it's not that when he beats him he will shake his hand. Mike says when he beats Nic, Nic can hake his hand. KC says Order 4 will be out with Ali tonight and asks them to watch his back in case they get involved. Nic agrees and Ryan says not to help this idiot. Security pulls away Mike and Ryan tells KC, "I'm the little brother, okay?".

Fabian Aichner & Leon Slater vs. The System (Cedric Alexander & Eddie Edwards) 

Eddie elbows and side headlocks Leon. He shoulders him over. Leon rewind kicks Eddie then flying lariats him in the corner. Fab comes in and Ced knees him from the apron. Fab springboard twisting crossbodies Eddie then he tilt-a-whirl backbreakers him. Fab does the same to Ced.

Eddie then knocks Fab into the buckles. Ced release suplexes Fab on the apron. We go to break and return. Ced chops Fab in the corner and sends him hard into the buckles. 
 
Fab takes a PK and an elbow drop. Ced suplexes Fab for 2. Fab and Eddie crossbody each other at the same time and both go down. Leon comes in and hits lariats on Ced. Leon superkicks him. Leon flips over Ced then spinning heel kicks him. Leon top rope crossbodies Ced for 2.

Fab sends Eddie and Ced out. Fab walks up the buckles and plancha's Bear and Brian outside. Leon corkscrew dives over the post.

Alisha Edwards trips up Leon. Leon flips in and Ced lumbar checks him. Ced pin him.

Thoughts: Well, at least the faces didn't get pinned clean here. What we got was fine but it could have used a longer finishing stretch.

Ced beats up Leon after and Fab knocks Ced down. Fab grabs Bear and Brian clips Fab. Moose comes out and the heels run even though they have the 4v1 advantage.

Moose says he's been gone a long time but he's back. He says it's time to put an end to this. Moose says it'll be him vs Eddie at Slammiversary.

Santino Marella talks. He say last week was a big week for him and Indi Hartwell. He says they beat Stacks and Arianna Grace last week and now they can get on with their lives. Santino says it'll be a while before they come back here and he he hopes they have a better attitude. Indi comes in. She says she needs to refocus and says she wants a rematch with Elayna Black. Santino says they can do it next week on Impact.

The Righteous come out. Vincent said he told us that the vines don't let go in The Wicked Garden. He says history was made last week and said The Hardy's met "Lily of the Valley". Vincent says it's beautiful and delicate but poisonous beneath. He says he put it in Jeff's mouth not to hurt him, but to show that even legends decay. He says The Hardy's survived ladders, tables and time itself. But then they entered the garden and The Righteous classified them as obsolete. 

Dutch says last week was historic. He says the soil of The Wicked Garden was fed well last week. He says watching Jeff converse brought happy tears in their eyes. He says we saw the goat's cling on to yesterday while The Righteous become tomorrow. Vincent says there's one more thing left to do - the TNA Tag Title.

Santino Marella comes out. Santino says they creep him out but are right about The Garden. He says they earned a title match...one day. Santino says The Hardy Boys have their rematch clause though. He says The System will face The Hardy's and The Righteous in a 3-Way Ladder Match for the tag titles at Slammiversary. Vincent say The Hardy's are gone and it's obvious who is in control now.

The lights go out. We hear Matt Hardy say "yessss". A ladder appears in the ring. Vincent is scared and Dutch pushes it over. Piano music then plays.

The Personal Concierge does the intro for The Elegance Brand.

Allie, Mara Sade & Rosemary vs. The Elegance Brand (Heather By Elegance, M By Elegance & M By Elegance)

Mara gets swept by Mr. Elegance as she dances on the apron. Mara takes a group beating. All 6 girls fight. The faces go for a triple lariat and Ash ducks it. Mara hits gut shots on M and chops her. Mara corner backsplashes her and flying corner forearms her. Mara top rope dropkicks her for 2.

Rose gets in and Ash doesn't want to face her. Ash prays. Rose grabs a doll of some sort. The commentators say it looks like Ash. Ash complains. Rose pulls on the doll's hair and Ash sells it like it is hurting her. The girls abuse the doll more and Ash sells it. M is given the doll and she makes Ash duck with it somehow. 

Ash chokes Rose on the ropes and pounds on her. Heather pounds on Rose. M chinlocks Rose. Rose bites M's hand and the pump kick each other down at the same time. Allie comes in and hits shots on Heather. Allie back elbows her then hanging headscissors her over the top rope. Ash hides behind the ref and M pump kicks Rose.

Ash runs away from Mara outside then hides behind George. Mara hits George. George has the doll and falls over so Ash falls with him. Heather falls off the top and Allie codebreakers her. Allie pins her.

Thoughts
: They were doing voodoo here and it was as bad as it sounds. What else really needs to be said?

TNA International Title Match - Mustafa Ali (c) vs. KC Navarro

KC slaps Ali. Ali boots and chops him. Ali misses a dive into the ropes. KC ddt's him while being held in mid-air. KC dropkicks him through the ropes. KC does a tope into a tornado ddt on the floor.

KC double boots Ali out of the corner then he is swept on the ropes. KC spin kicks Ali in the gut then fameassers him for 2.

Ali pulls KC into the buckles and they trade pin attempts. KC hits a sliced bread for 2. Ali sharpshooters KC and KC submits.

Thoughts:
Ali won this one fairly clean. It was alright but nothing more. There wasn't any reason to expect KC to win here, but his day is probably coming as the TNA roster gets smaller and smaller. Ali did his usual face bump into the 2nd buckle here and they did a fair bit of athletic stuff.

Ali sharpshooters KC again after. Nic Nemeth comes out to help KC. Mike Santana then comes out. They get the edge on the heels. Agent Zero is double clotheslined over the top. Ali tries to attack Mike from behind and Nic superkicks Ali. Nic then hits a zig zag/danger zone on Mike.

Thoughts: Well that was dumb. Nic had an easy chance to cash his title shot in and didn't do it so he could be friendly with Mike. The he turned on him anyway.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual level of quality from Impact. Santana/Eric was acceptable with a weak ending. Elijah lost in seconds to Mr. Elegance, but it wasn't clean. Nic Nemeth tried to convince us all show long that he was Santana's friend, then he turned on him anyway. The System's tag match was probably the best match on here. The Righteous will face The Hardy's in a 3-Way Ladder Match at Slammiversary. We had an awful kayfabe destroying match with the girls where Ash pretended to be affected by a voodoo doll. The main of Navarro/Ali was fine and Ali won as expected. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and it probably would have been higher if not for that awful women's match. It was acceptable overall and I wouldn't recommend it. 

WWE Main Event 6/11/2026

Thoughts
: It was a shorter bout. Dux's selling could have been a little better but it went well. Dux's release suplex into the sitout bomb was nice and the two did fine together.

Thoughts:
I would have liked the arm work to go somewhere here. The girls hit their stuff clean but the shenanigans in this one just took away from the match. It's Main Event, someone can lose clean as no one watches this show anyway.

Overall thoughts
: It was an okay show. Giulia/Grace was a good bout. Dux/Rayo was fine. The main event was going okay but all the shenanigans brought it down. There's nothing must see here but Giulia/Grace really did go well. This wasn't a bad 30 minute watch and I liked it.

J says they haven't seen Ruffo the Clown in over a month and don't know if he's dead or alive. He says that's because of Russo and Vito. Russo tells J to take it up with Vito.

Father Bronson talks before his match. He says he sees a bunch of people that want some Red Love. He says he's referring to people who haven't stepped into a gym in some time. He says they have a legend named "The Batman" here who makes Faygo hotdogs. He says The Batman is poisoning them with Faygo while they are overweight.

Thoughts:
Bron mostly worked the leg here and EC got some of his signature moves in before we had the abrupt double countout finish. It wasn't anything too special and the finish didn't help.

Sally Boy talks to Yabo in the back and does Godfather quotes. Yabo says he's no godfather. Sally tells him to kiss his brass ring. Vito comes in and asks what he's doing. He says all Sally does is f*ck up since he's got here. He tells him to stop being a jerk off and tells him to give him his ring back.

Thoughts: It wasn't bad. They had the logic right with Kerry having to be the underdog here and be crafty with Shane. He did a bunch of counters and pulled it off. I was fine with this one.

Big Al tells CoKane in the back that if he ever needs help with The Ring Rat again, give her a call.

Sally Boy shows up behind Al and asks if he can help her. He hits on her and she hits him. She tells him to get lost. Sally says he likes it and says he likes it when they do it rough.

Bruce tries to chop EC, EC gets a chair up to block it and hits a headlock driver on Bruce to win.

Thoughts: It was mostly all chops from Choppa City here. I liked the finish with EC blocking a chop with a chair. Choppa City beat The Backseats last week and they came out for revenge here. The match was about average but Choppa City really does try to add flair to everything they do and made it somewhat watchable.

The Backseasts beat up Choppa City after. Atiba is double stomped on then he takes a t-gimmick.

Caleb Konley and Russo talk in the back. Cal says what's going on is BS and he should be champ. Russo says Violent J has nothing left for him. He says Cal went through 3 weeks of hell and he came out strong. Russo says it ends tonight and then they pay his game which is Caleb vs CoKane for the JCW Title. He says he needs to skate by tonight and CoKane is next.

4 Weeks of Hell Match #4 - Caleb Konley vs Kruel

Cal misses a double jump moonsault. Kruel hits sitout chokeslam for 2. Cal burning hammers him and pins him.

Thoughts:
Kruel taking that burning hammer was pretty wild. He looked like he got dumped right on his head. They did fine with this. Kruel used his size against him some and Cal wasn't bad as the underdog. I'm glad this leads to Caleb getting a title shot as he kind of deserves it after surviving the 4 Weeks of Hell.

Vincenzo finds Sally Boy down in the back. Sally says Violent J did this to him and Vincenzo laughs. He says he can't wait to tell Vito. Sally begs him not to tell Vito and Vin says he really is a f*ck up.

Blast from the Past

This week's match is Twinkie Hop vs Butterbean. Hop slaps him then gets knocked out with one punch. Eugene comes out and cutters Bean. Eugene then runs.

Vito talks to his crew and Yabo in the back. Vito asks if Sally is sick. Sally says 5 guys beat him up. Vito says he saw Vinny picking him up and says he got jacked up by Ronald McDonald. Vito says they make him sick and he's tired of picking up their pieces. Vito tells Yabo to shut up and listen. He tells Yabo to shut up Violent J next week or he won't see his brother.

EC3 gets in the ring for his match. Joel Gertner comes out. He says tonight is the night and he who comes has come. Joel talks about his time in TNA. He says they stopped using him and he asked Jerry Jarrett how he can get back into TNA. Jerry told him "time". He says it's been 25 years and his time has come. He brings out "Big Money" Josh Bishop. Josh has a older version of the JCW Title with him.

EC3 vs Josh Bishop

EC hits JB as he enters. JB chops him in the corner and clubs on him. EC boots him out of the corner and JB fallaway slams him. Josh drops him with punches. 

Josh chokes him on the ropes with his leg. JB corner lariats him a few times. JB backdrops him. JB headbutts and chops him. EC chops back and JB drops him with a chop. EC jawbreakers him and hits punches. 

JB hits snake eyes on him and running boots him. Jeeves gets on the apron and JB throws him in. EC grabs a chair outside. JB chokeslams Jeeves. EC hits JB with a chair several times. Caleb Konley comes down and chairs EC. JB hits a powerbomb on him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was average. Josh is always a confusing guy to me. He looks good. He wrestles fine enough and yet nobody in the big leagues is interested. Josh's offense looked good here and he came across as intense. Caleb coming out should continue things with Russo and Violent J. 

JB poses with the old JCW Title after.

Mac Davis is trying to interview someone in the bathroom. He runs into Big Al and wants to talk about Dani Mo. Al says f*ck her and Mac. She asks why he is in the women's bathroom and calls him a pervert. She splashes him with water and says he needs to get out.

Al then runs into HoKane as she goes to leave. Al says fans aren't allowed in the back. HoKane won't let her past her. Ho throws her into the walls. She says "he's mine", which refers to CoKane.

Barnabus and The Outbreak talk. Barn says he smells a scent on the hoodie and says he hasn't smelled it in years. He says it can't be that person and says please tell him it can't be true.

Overall thoughts: The wrestling was average but nothing was bad and that's a bit of an upgrade. The non-wrestling stuff was entertaining as usual. Josh Bishop was a worthy surprise and I'd be happy to see him more. The stuff with the Outbreak is always good. I liked the stuff with Vito and I'd say Caleb vs Kruel was the best match here. A fair bit of wrestlers were missing here but that tends to happen with their taping schedule. I'd give the show a 6 out of 10 as the non-wrestling stuff carried this. This show was also about 30 minutes shorter than other JCW shows lately and that helped things.

Saya offers Fuwa a handshake after and Fuwa slaps it away.

I was expecting a throwaway here but it wasn't. They went at a fast pace. Everyone gave a pretty good effort. We had a triple suplex spot and a neat 3 person top rope spot here. They really did make good use of their time for the most part and it wasn't bad. Ami picked up the win here over Aya Sakura.

Thoughts
: It went long and lost some of my interest in the second half. They tried to sell me on Ema beating Hazuki but I wasn't buying that one. I also didn't really appreciate some of the screwing around in the beginning, especially since AZM rejected it twice. 

AZM talks to her opponents after. AZM then talks to Ema. AZM and Ema then walk out together.

Ran then talks on the mic after.

Thoughts: It was a slower and boring match. BP did forearms and worked the arm almost exclusively the whole match and that was only so exciting. Han didn't get a ton of offense in and what she did didn't look that great as usual. The logic was fine but it wasn't that fun to sit through.

Han talks on the mic after. She says she won't forget the time with her and thanks her. Han offers a handshake and BP just rolls out. Han talks more and Saya Iida comes in to seemingly be her next title challenger.

Thoughts:
It wasn't bad and was an okay main. Did Saya have a great main event worthy performance? Not really. She spammed the spear a lot here. It had a slower pace to it, Saya sold a lot and Itoh took more of a grumpy vet. Itoh did good with it though. 

They talk on the mic after. Suzu Suzuki comes out and challenges Saya. Suzu grabs her by the hair. Saya talks more and poses to end the show.

Overall thoughts: The opener was fine. The three got too much time and wasn't too good. The three-way tag was a decent bout with them going at it fast and putting out a good effort. I didn't like the screwing around in the Hazuki tag and couldn't buy that Ema was beating Hazuki. Ranna/Kikyo was basically a rookies match and it wasn't that good. The four-way was average. Hanan/Bea was slower and boring. The main was okay enough but it wasn't great. Neither Kurara or Itoh are strong main eventers and there was only so much they could do there. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as it had a weaker card, the best girls were in lesser matches and the quality just wasn't there. It was below average. 

WWE Evolve 6/10/2026

WWE Evolve 6/10/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/wwe-evolve-632026-last-weeks-show-is.html

We are in Orlando, FL. Blake Howard and Peter Rosenberg are on commentary. 

Marcus Mathers and Sam Holloway talk. MM is excited about facing The Mog Squad. Sam says he saw what they did for months and it has been killing him. MM asks if he heard from Cap Jones and Sam says he hasn't. We hear a crash and Cap Jones is down with the Mog Squad in the background behind him.

KP pulls PJ over the top rope. KP baseball slides her. KP topes her. KP hits kicks to the body then PK's her. KP low ddt's her. KP low corkscrew kicks her twice and wins.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one. PJ went down a bit too easy for me. It was almost all kicks here. KP could have done some of the non-kick moves a little cleaner. It was acceptable.

The Mog Squad talk in the back. CJ says it was light work to take out Cap. Santi jokes about them having the 3v2 tonight. Ball congratulates Elijah on winning last week. Ball says something about Elijah being scared and Elijah gets mad. Elijah tells them to say it again. The Mog Squad try to cool off the situation. Eli tells them to get out of his face before they break jaws.

It's GAL comes out for this open challenge. He says he will prove the flames didn't break him but minted the steel. He says the open challenge is on.

Thoughts: There were a ton of gutbusters and backbreakers here. The match was fine and pretty much all power. WWE's becoming Japanese with various people losing open challenges anymore. I can accept the Gal loss though as he's been kind of pushed as a dope. 

Chuey interviews Cutler after. CJ says he's here to take it all. He says this is a taste of what he's capable of. He says he will dominate every brand in WWE soon as he is undeniable. 

Braxton Cole does a promo on Harlem Lewis. He says he knows he's hurting after he attacked him last time. He says he pulled strings and got him a probational assistant janitoral role at one of his dad's properties. He says we have to make sure he has the ability to take care of these places. He says he got him his very own mop with an arm sling on it for the injury he gave him. He says, "enjoy your new reality you blue collar boy".

Thoughts: This was Cole's best segment yet and this was good.

Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno talk. Romeo is getting his ankle checked out. He says Harley and Kam are pain's in the butt and he needs him for a tag match against them. Dar agrees. That match will happen next week. 

Aaron Rourke, Marcus Mathers & Sam Holloway vs. The Mog Squad (Jacari Ball, Max Abrams & Santi Rivera)

Max and AR trade shots. Max jumping knees him. AR is rolled into a spear on Max. MM tope con hilos out. CJ gets on the apron and MM flying forearms him. Max over the back fameassers MM and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a fun 6-man. We've seen these before and it was similar to those. We got a lot of action, lots of flying, a fast pace and then got a decent finishing stretch. These almost always work unless they go too far and this worked. Sam looked good here as he really slammed some of his opponents around. 

Max grabs AR's Evolve Title after and runs. 

Overall thoughts: It was a fun evolve. All 3 matches were at least acceptable and the main was the best match of the night. The main was your usual Evolve style trios match where they get enough time, give you some dives and keep things moving along. I liked the Braxton Cole segment. Tristan Angels' segment was a bit weak, but he does the right stuff. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as it was good show and one of the better editions as of late.
