Thoughts: It was a good bout here. The Villano's did a lot of flying and The Calavera's were more heelish here. It went well and wasn't quite as wild as some of their other encounters. It was a smarter match though and I was pleased with how it turned out.

Thoughts
: It was a good main. It flowed well and they kept it interesting. The faces did their flying and the heels did their basic bullying stuff. It was also timed well. Xel has pretty much stopped doing all of his llave, which sucks since that's why everyone liked him. Kom gelled well here with these guys.

The announcer closes the show as usual. 

Overall thoughts: It was a good show from CMLL. The 7 match format helped things as nothing got too much time so the stalling and posing for the crowd was reduced. Onix was fine in his debut, just not spectacular. The mini's match was a good opening style match that was enjoyable. Meyer's match was fine but got very little time. Star Black's bout went fine. I thought The Villanos match was good though it wasn't the great one those two teams had a few weeks ago. I was pleased with how that turned out. The main was good. It was timed well and they kept it interesting. They also made good use of Komander here. I'd give this a 7 out of 10. This was one of the better top to bottom Puebla shows I have seen and I enjoyed it.

PM flatliners him for 2. Light spears him for 2. Light chokeslams PM and pins him.

Thoughts: I would have had Toledo cost Payaso the match somehow instead of Light just chokeslamming him and winning. It was acceptable but they really just stuck to the basics here and not much else. Light definitely needed a win.   

La Guerrera Amazona does a promo. She says she's going for the WWC Women's title. She says the title is coming back to PR and she'll have La Tigresa in her corner when she wins it.

Xavant vs Lou Forza

Thoughts
: It was a basic and simple match. Lou lost as expected and did a lot of bumping. Xavant's shots didn't look that good. It was average.

Tony Leyenda and Amaddeo Sole do a promo from a basketball court. Tony says everything is lined up just right for the Anniversary show. He says they will be tag champs. Sole says when they talk about the tag titles, they have seen something unusual. He says the the tag titles have lost their direction with the current tag champs of Benabe and Mike Nice. Sole says they can expect a new dawn when they win the tag titles. 

Wilfredo Rivera does a promo. He says the 4-way at the Anniversary show will have 4 of the best in the world. He says he was told he was the underdog in this and says no one wants this more than him. He says he will fight with all of his heart and if his opponents don't, they will be defeated.

We join this in progress. OC backs him up in the corner and misses a shot. OC boots him in the gut and shoulders him over. Wil flying back elbows him and armdrags him into an armlock. OC tries to slam him but Wil armdrags and armlocks him out of it.

Thoughts
: We didn't see all that much of it. It was a simpler match. Wil hit a nice dropkick but didn't get all of his usual offense in. OC did fine and came off a bit cocky. This wasn't anything of note.

Intelecto Cinco Estrellas does a promo. He says he's repulsed by Zcion RT1 and will see him at the Anniversary show.

He says everyday is one day closer to the cage match. He says only the best of them will walk out of the cage.

Zcion RT1 does a promo. he says it's time for the ultimate leader to write his name in gold and what better place than the Anniversary show. He says the clock is ticking and Cinco's time has come. He says Cinco has done damage to his family and he says he will bathe the arena in blood. He says it will be the greatest night in history as it will be the end to Cinco's reign. He says he sacrificed for the company and it's his time. He says he'll be waiting for him in the death ring. He says we are looking at the next Universal champ and he says he's the d@mned revolution. 

Axel and Abel talk. Axel says there will be many surprises coming. They talk about the Anniversary show. We then see clips of how The Colon's vs Chicano and Bryan got set up for the Anniversary show.

Overall thoughts: There were 3 matches show here and all 3 were clipped, though they weren't clipped that badly. None of them were must see. Lightning/Makabro was acceptable. Xavant/Forza was average and could have been better. Colon/Rivera was simpler. We saw a bunch of promos that had already been seen on here and we had endless shilling for the Anniversary show. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was pretty average overall and nothing you need to see.

WWE Monday Night Raw 6/8/2026

WWE Monday Night Raw 6/8/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/wwe-monday-night-ray-612026.html

We are in Paris, France. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive.

Oba Femi comes out to talk. He says Paul Heyman doesn't agree with predictions but spoilers and he agrees with him. He says his spoiler is that he will run through everyone in KOTR and will win. He says that's not a prediction but a spoiler. He says he will take the crown as a ruler needs a crown to be the ruler. 

He says one trophy he wants is the skull of Brock Lesnar. He says Brock attacked him from behind and cheated. He says all he sees in him is a "big bad b!tch". He says he will settle the score with Brock when he sees him.

Thoughts: They kept it moving. Bliss landed really hard on Liv on the twisted bliss. They kept throwing each other out there which got a little annoying at times. It wasn't bad.

We get a video on Penta vs Rey tonight.

Penta and Chad Gable talk in the back. Chad says he did a lot he's ashamed of and it started because he lost to him in his debut. He says he didn't take the loss like a man and he's sorry. Penta says if he wants to do right by lucha libre, he knows who he has to talk to.

He says he's not talking about the family but he's disappointed in them. He says he thought Jimmy was better than this. Seth says them being bag boys for Roman may be the best they can do.

The Uso's complain to Fatu in the back and ask what that was about. They said they called the play and Fatu is supposed to run it. Fatu says he didn't acknowledge them but Roman. He says they need to worry about LA Knight. He says LA is probably talking about the family right now why they do nothing. Jey and Fatu then walk off and leave Jimmy.

LA says Roman is a guy whose empire is on the verge of crumbling. He says he expects a Bloodline member to interfere on Friday. 

He says The Uso's told him not to talk about the family but he says he's the chief in this neighborhood and doesn't care. He says the whole family may get involved in his match with Roman says Adam Pearce will allow it. He says he won't say Adam is in Bloodline's pocket but there is a difference between how Adam talks to him and Roman. He says Adam has his favorites and he's not it. He says he's unchosen but the fans chose him and he chose himself. He promises he can't stop or quit and can't stop being LA Knight. He says he hopes Jey can do it on his own on Friday without bringing his family out.

Jey Uso comes out and talks to LA in the ring. Jey tries to re-run his entrance and LA cuts it off. Jey says when his family calls, he will answer it. He tells LA to stay in his lane. He says he doesn't need luck in KOR as he's still "Main Event" Jey Uso. He says he will show him who he is Friday and says it's his warning shot.

They tease ending the segment but LA talks more. LA says it's good he cares about his family. He wishes him good luck on Friday and says "screw your family". Jey then heads to the ring and Jimmy Uso stops him. 

Chad Gable talks to Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio in the back. Lee says he knows Chad now knows what the mask means.

Roxanne talks to Liv. She says she was just thinking of herself and she needs to look after Judgment Day. She says it would be best if Liv and Raquel get to the finals of QOTR so Judgment Day wins for sure.

Thoughts
: They did what they could with it. It was all action and them doing spots. They didn't overdo it at least. It was an okay enough main. Seth got screwed and that'll continue his things with The Vision. Evans won here, but I don't expect him to win the tournament.

Evans celebrates in the crowd after.

Overall thoughts: We had a lot of in-ring action here and most of the matches were decent, minus Sol/Lyra. We had limited stories outside of Gable and LA Knight vs The Uso's though. The show was okay overall, but nothing must see. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and I'd say the main was the best match of the night.

Wagner gets in the ring and Andre has words for him. Mafioso and Andre talk and they seem to want a match with Blanco and Silver King. Wagner seems to agree and Silver King/Blanco get in the ring and stare down Andre and Mafioso. Both sides then end up leaving. 

Super Fideo will be our ref for tonight. We are about 21-23 minutes in and are finally getting our first match.

Los Mexa Boys (Spider Fly and Noisy Boy) vs Epydemius Sr. and Epydemius Jr.

Ep Sr has the black mask.

Ep Sr and Noisy lock up. Ep Sr trips him then rolls him. Noisy spin kicks him in the gut and crucifixes him. Ep Sr racks him and Noisy rolls him up off of it for 2. Noisy sunset flips him and goes for a pin. Noisy headflips and they stand off. They slap hands.

Thoughts: The heels weren't super effective here. The faces did nice flying though and things picked up at the end. I'd say it was acceptable but it could have been upgraded to okay if Los Epydemius were a bit more effective. I was surprised Spider and Noisy lost. 

3-Way Elimination Match - Emperador Azteca vs The Mummy vs Dark Zorro

Mummy dances to the ring.

Mummy shoves both opponents before the match starts. All 3 guys shove each other. Mummy takes a double pump kick. Mummy is stomped on by Dark then Dark hits mounted shots. Mummy takes an enzugiri then he is tripped by Emp. Mummy's knees are stomped into the mat. 

Emp chops Mummy then Dark does as well. Emp stands on Mummy in the corner. Mummy is pump kicked for 2. Emp superkicks Mummy then Dark and Emp argue over who should get the pin. Dark shoves him. Mummy is curbstomped.

Thoughts: Mummy was double teamed here for the first half then made his comeback. I thought he would win but after he eliminated Zorro, Emp pinned him. Mummy was entertaining but I didn't like that trance spot. It was alright.

Next week has Simon Blanco and Hijo de Silver King vs Mafioso and Sexy Andre. Puerquiza Extrema will also be in 2v2 tag action.

Overall thoughts: The show looks much better at the studio but they can't have the crowds at the studio so the heat suffers. Meanwhile, the opposite happens at the regular arena. Both matches were acceptable here but totally random. They also built up a tag match for the next week here. We didn't get much follow up from last week. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was okay but they have a lot of work to do and they have to make better use of their time.

WWE LFG 6/7/2026 Season 3, Episode 7

WWE LFG 6/7/2026 Season 3, Episode 7

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/wwe-lfg-5312026-season-3-episode-6.html

We see Keanu Carver working out. He talks about putting in work and says his goal is to be NXT champ and he outworks everyone. Shawn Michael comes up to him and says he's not popular here but they could use his attitude on NXT if he doesn't feel like changing. Keanu agrees and says he's done with LFG, so he doesn't have to answer questions.

Thoughts: This feels like this wasn't supposed to air here as it was random.

The coaches talk. Johnny Gargano is with them this week while Natalya and Bubba aren't. Bloom tells him to coach Harlem Lewis vs Tate Wilder. Bloom says Tate will be a fan favorite but he needs to see more emotion and less motion (as if Johnny knows about that). Masyn Holiday faces PJ Vasa and Booker T needs to coach them. Booker says she's new and asks what they expect. Bloom says she's a tool box and needs to use the tools different. Owens says he was ousted out of commentary because he doesn't have any rings and blames Booker. Booker says he has nothing to do with it. Kevin Owens has Elijah Holyfield vs Apollo Crews. We are told Crews liked Elijah and wanted to work with him.

Johnny Gargano tells Tate and Lewis they gotta be coachable and tries to tell them not to do too much. Gargano says he was told no in 2015 then was with NXT until 2021.

Lewis says he saw an Evolve DVD where Johnny wrestled on the show. Lewis says it's cool to pick his brain and he had so many good ideas. Lewis says he thought Tate was a pansy at first but he's tougher than he is given credit for.

Tate Wilder vs Harlem Lewis

We are the Evolve arena for this. They lock up. Lewis side headlock takeovers him and Tate side headlock takeovers him. Lewis headscissors him. Lewis slams him. Tate dropkicks him out. Tate 2nd rope moonsaults him outside. 

Tate corner lariats him. Tate walks up the buckles and twisting crossbodies him. Tate springboards and is speared down. Tate recovers outside. Lewis drops him face first on the buckles then throat first on the ropes. Lewis this a big lariat for 2. Booker says Lewis has everything but he's missing something.

Tate enzugiri's Lewis. Owens says he acts intimidating. Tate hits shots on Lewis. Tate hits a springboard shot on him. Tate hits running forearms and they say Owens looks tired. Tate hits kicks then twisting suplexes him for 2. 

Tate headbutts him down off the buckles. Lewis catches his crossbody then jackhammers him to win.

Thoughts:
It was all Tate flying and Lewis swatting him down and overpowering him. They cut away at times so who knows what we missed. It was average but they had the right idea.

Tate says he couldn't see out of his right eye. Lewis says they didn't have the people in their match and says the match was flat. Tate says he knew something was messed up but he tried to get through it. Bloom says he's proud of them and tells Lewis not to poke his opponent's eye out in the first 30 seconds. Bloom says Tate has to find the kink in his armor when running through offense.

Booker talks to Vasa and Masyn. He says PJ needs to believe in herself. He says Masyn has charisma and will be in a sink or swim situation. Masyn says PJ is a force and she will get her @ss kicked today.

Masyn Holiday vs PJ Vasa

Masyn comes out without Layla Diggs. PJ rams her in the corner and hits corner spears. PJ hits shots to the gut then corner splashes her twice. PJ side slams her for 2. PJ misses a legdrop and Masyn does a splash on her. PJ catches her in the air and Masyn flying euros her for 2.

Masyn forearms her over then neckbreakers her. PJ misses a corner splash. Masyn cradles her and pins her.

Thoughts: Masyn looked green here. She isn't that athletically gifted and isn't that great at the basics. Nothing she did looked good and PJ didn't really quite destroy her like she should have. It was so-so.

Booker says they executed some stuff but Masyn got in trouble when she worried about what she can do for her. Booker says they ran the ropes too much and ran too much. Booker says if they are sitting on their @sses, the fans will too. Booker says they did a great job. PJ says she wants to work on being a monster.

Bloom says PJ needs to put more force into throwing her in the corner. Bloom says PJ needs to work on her emotions after almost getting pinned. Masyn is told to work on her clotheslines. Bloom says he wants Masyn's strikes to look tighter.

Owens, Apollo Crews and Elijah Holyfield talk. Owens says to show his potential. Crews says he's been with WWE for over a decade. Owens says he saw himself in Elijah. Elijah says he looked up to Crews since he has been here. Owen says he gave Crews and Eli ideas even though they didn't need it. Owens says to go for a suplex if something gets messed up. 

Apollo Crews vs Elijah Holyfield

We are at the NXT arena for this.Crews was fired a few weeks before this aired. 

They lock up.  Crews side headlocks him. They shoulder battle and Crews is knocked out of the ring. Crews takes a back elbow then hits his own back elbow. Eli hits him in the gut and corner spears him. Eli misses a corner spear.

Crews pounds on Eli's arm then dropkicks him. Crews drops him for 2. Crews backdrops him. Crews misses an elbow drop. Eli half-nelson slams him. They fight outside and Eli punches the post when Crews moves. Eli holds his hand and Crews rolls him up and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a simple bout. I liked the finish. Crews didn't really do his flying here and this didn't get a lot of time to play out. They did what they could with the few minutes they got here.

Crews says you know if every match was good or bad after you did it. Shawn tells Eli not to just stand there after tackles. Eli ays he could be more natural and fluid. Crews says he will ride with him to the top. Crews says Eli reminds him of himself and says the sky is the limit for him.

Owens says to remember to sell what happened and says Eli could have sold his arm more. Owens tells Eli to have Bloom put him on as many shows as possible to get better. He says he could see Eli being on NXT next week. Crews says they need to explore this further and to be on the look out as we never know might happen (lol).

Overall thoughts:
It was similar to the other episodes this season. It's straightforward and makes sense. We see different people every episode so it's hard for them to build stories. At least we don't have the worked-worked shoots anymore. There's nothing must see and it's probably best viewed as a documentary style piece. What we got was fine.

Thoughts: It was fine. Rey had a lot of sloppy moments here but he does some hard dives so that's almost a given. It's too bad they couldn't hit the big triple dive spot at the end because it looked good. The heels didn't get a ton of offense in here.

Thoughts
: Like a lot of CMLL 2v2 tags, everyone got in towards the end and it lost all of its flow. They hit their moves clean and the match mostly went well. It was acceptable and Lady had a good night here.

Thoughts: It mostly went well. Volcano has lost some weight since last time. The faces got a decent bit of flying in and it ended as it was starting to lose some of it's interest. It was acceptable.

Thoughts: I wasn't a big fan of it. It was a free for all and there were some dumb spots like when Mort was in the ring and The Guerrero's were posing, totally ignoring him. We had a lot of double teaming here and it went a lot longer than it needed to. They didn't overdo it though.

Thoughts: It stalled a little by the end when they reset and had people waiting on the apron again. Other than that, it was fine. the heels controlled a lot of it. The faces gradually evened things up then won as expected. It was alright.

Mistico and Komander talk on the mic after with the announcer. Mist starts a Komander chant and they thank the fans. 

Overall thoughts: The opener was basic and average. The second match was fine and might have been better if Rey Pegasus was cleaner. The women's tag was acceptable as was the 8-man tag. LFI's tag match was boring and long. The main was alright. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall as it was kind of average. The 2v2 tag matches would have all been better as trios matches.

New Japan Pro Wrestling 6/7/2026 Best of the Super Junior 33 Day 14

New Japan Pro Wrestling 6/7/2026 Best of the Super Junior 33 Day 14

Thoughts: It was more about Akira and Young heeling it up than anything else. We saw little here of Shota and of course Jado took the loss at the end. This was just a match.

ELP beats up on Akira after then Young low blows him. Lee knees Shota and ELP in the gut. ELP is then held. Lee hits him in the gut with a chair then kicks a chair in his face.

Six Or Nine (Master Wato & Ryusuke Taguchi), Daisuke Sasaki, Nick Wayne & Valiente Jr. vs. Unbound Co. (Daiki Nagai, Gedo, Robbie X, Taiji Ishimori & Titan)

Taguchi submitted Gedo with an ankle lock here. Everyone got their segment in and it looked like it would be nothing special. Then we got a major dive train with everyone getting to do a cool dive and it turned this one around. This ended up being fun. Nagai hit a nice tope here and Robbie X was working hard and doing a lot of flying. 

El Desperado & Hyo vs. House Of Torture (SHO & Yoshinobu Kanemaru)

Thoughts:
I didn't really get this match. Kosei worked over various body parts without much logic. Yoh then started doing all kinds of famous NJPW wrestlers moves to win the match. I didn't like them goofing around early on since this is such a big match for them. They really pushed that this was an upset for Yoh and a major win for him. I just thought it was average. I also do feel like I saw this same exact match before from NJPW just with different wrestlers in it.

They shake hands after. Yoh talks on the mic after and is excited. He says he won BOSJ and wants to win the Jr Title next. Douki comes out and stares him down. SHO then jumps Yoh from behind. Yoh gets the edge on them and hits both with the sign Douki brought in.

Yano and Bishamon come out. They celebrate with Yoh and confetti shoots out. 

Overall thoughts
: The card was exactly what it looked like it would be - a main where they got to try their best and a bunch of throwaway forgettable tags. NJPW always has their shows with tournament finals look like this and the quality is the same every time. This was a total waste of time and a lazy effort from NJPW. There was never going to be anything too great on here because few of the matches got the time and all of them had 6-10 people in them who needed to get something in. I would give this a 3 out of 10 as there was little of value here and the semi-main was probably the best thing on here. This show was not good.
