Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/aew-dynamitecollision-562026.html

We are in Asheville, NC. Taz, Excalibur and Tony Schiavone are on commentary.

We see an MJF interview from earlier in the day. MJF is asked if he will put his hair on the line vs Darby and then walks away. He then sees bald people everywhere he goes. He sees The Demand. Ricochet says he will look great but not as great as him.

Thoughts: It was full of fast paced action as expected with no real break in the action. Cage got his eye busted open here. It was a bit hard to follow at times with how many people were getting involved but the match was fine overall.

We see The Death Riders and Will Ospreay working out on a roof. Garcia says Will has to show him something tonight. Will does bridges while Mox does submissions on Yuta. Mox asks will if remember when he won BOSJ. He says Will was care free then like a bird. He says it was so simple then when he could fly. Mox says it gets harder as you get older and you feel like you can't fly. Mox says nothing has changed or is different. Mox says he can still fly. He tells him not to protect tonight, go out there to give something.  

Jericho does a video talking about Stadium Stampede. He tells him to be careful because this is a match without any limitations that is designed to settle scores. Jericho says this is no longer a match of his design but Ricochet's destruction. He asks if Ricochet can handle what he had asked for.

The Demand and Mark Davis do a promo. Ric says Jericho talks out of his @ss but they get things done. Ric says Mark is on their Stadium Stampede team and so is Andrade El Idolo. He says The Dogs will fill out the last two spots on the team. Finlay and Clark come in. Finlay says they will fight them in the street but it looks like it's at Stadium Stampede. Finlay says if you want chaos, who better to call then The Dogs.

Mike Bailey vs Westbrook

Mike has Kevin Knight with him. West tries to roll him up off the handshake. West flips out of a legsweep. West botches something and gets caught on the ropes. Mike spinning high kicks him. Mike hits a 2nd rope ultimate weapon and wins.

Thoughts: This didn't really work. West got too much attention and took away from Mike's win.

Cage 2nd rope deadlift superplexes KK for 2. Mike then top rope moonsaults Lance outside. KK is popped up and he ddt's Cage for 2. Cage is seated up top. KK tries to hurricanrana him but Cage doesn't catch him. Cage then lifts him up and KK hurricanrana's him down. KK does a top rope 180 splash on Cage and wins.

Thoughts: Things weren't going that bad but then they had that stupid hurricanrana spot at the end. They almost covered for it with Cage deadlifting him but then they did the spot anyway. Cage then lost in his big return here because AEW is where the big boys lay.

Mike Bailey congratulates Kevin after. Kevin says Mike is red hot. Kevin welcomes Cage back. Mike says Kevin is a future AEW champ. Mike says he wants the winner of Takeshita and Darby tonight. He says he's never had a match with Takeshita in AEW. He says he's coming for Darby's AEW Title.

They announce the 2026 Men's Owen Hart Tournament. It has Samoa Joe vs Will Ospreay, Mark Davis vs Jack Perry, Swerve Strickland vs Bandido and Claudio Castagnoli vs Brody King in first round matches.

Jack Perry does a promo. He says Mark Davis is no champ to him. He says he's built like a grizzly bear but still needed to cheat. He tells Mark to bring his friends and weapons and he will crack him over the skull with the weapons. He says they will fight in the Owen Hart Tournament after. He says he will prove he's a better wrestler and a future world champ. He says if he doesn't like that, f*ck you.

Will Ospreay vs Ace Austin

They shake hands. Will wristlocks him. AA headflips out. AA armlocks Will. Will armdrags him. They do a double knuckle lock and AA tries to pin him off of it. Will bridges and monkey flips him. Will armdrags him and stomps the arm into the mat.

Will kicks him in the arm and rolling armbars him. AA taps out.

Thoughts: I was fine with this one. They did some flying and Will worked the arm a little in between. Will then won with an armlock. 

The Opps come out. Joe yells Will's last name. Joe says fate has put them on a collision course and they meet in the opening round of the Owen Hart Tournament. Joe says Will could have had a bye if he went with The Opps. He says instead of having a team that would enhance him, he's a lapdog for The Death Riders. He says Will made his chice and he will make him suffer with consequences. Joe says he has his date with destiny and he won't attack him. He says Shibata and Bowens feel slighted and he won't put leashes on them.

Shibata and Bowens head to the ring to fight Will. The Death Riders' music hits. The Opps back off.

He says he can't think of a better idea than them fighting for the title. KT shakes his hand and says something in Japanese. MJF then tells Don he didn't mean it as KT walks off. MJF gives Don his Dynamite Diamond Ring and tells him to use it if things get hair. Andrade El Idolo comes in, takes off his hat and MJF leaves. Don says KT will bring the title back to The Family tonight. I think Andrade says it needs to be his turn next.

We see the Women's Owen Hart Tournament bracket. It has Persephone vs Hazuki, Willow Nightingale vs Alex Windsor, Mina Shirakawa vs Athena and Skye Blue vs Sareee.

Thoughts: Now that's a random tournament.

Kyle says he wants Jon Moxley. Willow says she will win The Owen Hart Tournament again so she can have all the gold. OC says they should do the word of the day. Mark Briscoe comes in and says the word of the day is reunification as he's with his crew again. He says he wants Tomasso Ciampa next week on Dynamite.

We go to PiP break and return.

SB takes a sandwich lariat. Thek hits Jamie with the AEW Women's Title and is DQ'd.

Thoughts: We didn't see a lot of Shida in this. It wasn't anything too special and Skye's fight on the rail top looked bad with Skye almost almost falling. 

SB grounded dragon sleepers Alex after while Thek whips Alex. Hart mists a ref. Thunder Rosa, Mina and Willow come down and the heels leave. 

AEW World Title - Darby Allin (c) vs Konosuke Takeshita

They get on the steps outside again. DA reverse ddt's him on the steps. DA top rope coffin drops him on the floor. DA top rope coffin drops him inside but KT gets his knees up. KT pumping knees him. DA sharpshooters him. KT ropebreaks and DA top rope coffin drops him twice to win.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. The blue thunder from the apron to the floor and the top rope german should have finished off Darby. Those moves were just too much and didn't mean a lot here. I'm not surprised the match ended up like it did as these two love to overdo it. Darby got his mouth busted open here.

Darby calls out MJF to sign the contract for the match. MJF comes out and a table with a chair is set up. MJF says he hopes Darby had fun holding his title. He says he feels bad for him again as he will never hold the title again. MJF says the only thing that matters in this life is your legacy. He says Darby's will be the one who had his 15 minutes of fame. He says everyone will know Darby is a prick who got lucky and was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. MJF says he will be the guy who was a 3x world champ at 30 and will be the greatest of all time. 

He says Darby brags about climbing a mountain top. MJF says he is the mountain top. Darby says he cares about living in the moment, not his legacy. He says he want him to sign his contract as he will make him a bald-headed b!tch. MJF signs the contract, spears him and hits mounted shots. MJF then punches him with his ring. MJF goes to 2nd rope piledriver him but Kevin Knight comes down and MJF runs. 

Overall thoughts: It was a long one. This went 18 minutes late which is rough. This one was almost all wrestling here. The opener was fine. Mike Bailey won squash. Knight/Cage was going okay but they had a botched hurricanrana spot at the end which brought it down. I liked Ospreay/Ace and it had some logic to it which I appreciated. The women's match wasn't anything too special and they did way too much in the main. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as I liked and disliked about the same amount of stuff here. I'd say this was average.

Ring of Honor YouTube Special Episode #7 5/12/2026

The last Youtube episode is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/ring-of-honor-youtube-special-episode-6.html

Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman are on commentary.

Alec Price and Jordan Oliver do a promo. They say they have been nothing but grateful since they showed up. JO says it's not enough. Alec says it's about being the best now - the ROH Tag champs. Alec says they respect Serpentico and Angelico tonight but this isn't about respect. Alec asks what they will do today. JO says they will plot world domination.

Thoughts: They are doing lines from Pinky and the Brain here. Alec should really be kept far away from a mic at this point. 

The Spanish Announce Project (Angelico and Serpentico) vs Bustah and The Brain (Jordan Oliver and Alec Price)

JO and Ange lock up. Ange wristlocks him. JO reverses it. Ange works the arm and wristlocks him. JO takes a hiptoss then Serp is hiptossed onto him. Serp splashes JO. JO chops Serp. Serp wristlocks AP. AP tiger feints into an armdrag on him. AP running shoulderblocks him.

JO backrolls Serp then germans Ange as he does it. Ange facekicks AP then upkicks JO. Ange lifting flatliners AP. AP suicide dives Ange. Serp takes combo offense then a backdrop + top rope elbow drop and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was a shorter bout. What we got wa fine with JO and AP doing some fast paced offense and some flying. They are on a win streak and that got pushed here.

The Lethal Twist attack JO and AP after. Blake puts Bandido's mask on and hits a 21plex on JO. Blake says that's a message to the ROH champ, who isn't here. Blake says he's here though and is carrying the weight that Bandido can't carry. He says the walls are closing in on Band and he will collapse the walls and become champ.

Lance Archer vs Trip Jordy

Lance carries his opponent down to the ring and hits snake eyes on him on the apron. The bell rings. Trip tries chops then gets chopped down. Lance running back elbows him in the corner. Lance footpresses him down in the corner. Lance chokeslams Trip on the top buckle. Lance chokeslams Trip on the mat. Lance then rainmaker black hole slams him and wins.

Thoughts: It was the usual Lance squash that we have been seeing for years. He wins these squashes then when he eventually gets his title shot, he loses and the process repeats itself. 

Diamanate does a promo. She says they have been trying to get after Deonna Purrazzo but she's on the game. Dia says this isn't a game anymore. She says they collect heads and go home. She says Athena will collect 4-5 heads at Supercard of Honor. She says the least she can do is come back with Deonna's head and Pure Rules Title. She says DP wants to be Pure Rules champ so she can brag about that "Lou Thesz bs". She says there's not a hold or an escape that can keep her from taking the title. 

ROH Women's Pure Title Proving Ground Match - Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs Haven Harris

They lock up. DP rolls her. HH side headlock takeovers her. DP double knuckle locks her then takes her down by the wrist. DP armlocks her on the mat. HH hits corner spears on DP. DP rolls HH into an armbar and HH uses her first rope break.

HH headbutts her. HH kicks her around the top rope and spinebusters her for 2. HH misses a step up swanton and DP boots her in the head. DP powerbombs her then submits her with the armbar.

Thoughts: It only went 2:31 with DP winning as expected. She worked the wrist a little before winning. HH took a hard looking powerbomb at the end here.

Evil Uno vs Vaughn Vertigo

They lock up. Uno shoves him down. VV side headlocks him then Uno shoulders him over. Uno is tripped into the ropes. VV jumps up and is atomic dropped. Uno shoulders him over. Uno misses a corner splash then VV leg lariats him. VV standing moonsaults him for 2.

VV boots Uno in the corner and foot chokes him. Uno chops him. Uno's head is banged off the buckles. Uno back elbows him. Uno hits some shots then flying back elbows him. Uno facekicks him into a ddt for 2.

VV spinning forearms him then shining wizards him for 2. VV misses a top rope swanton. Uno punches him then hits ataxia. Uno pins him.

Thoughts: It was a shorter bout with Uno winning as expected. VV didn't get a ton in but he didn't look that bad. This was really just filler. 

Handicap Match - Satnam Singh vs Dave Dutra and Nick Ruiz

Nick's jacked but not super tall. The jobbers are sent into each other. Sat chops Nick down then stands on him. Sat then chops Dave. Sat whips them both into the corner and double splashes them. Sat hits a double lariat. 

Sat takes a double dropkick to his legs. The jobbers pound on him. Sat hits a double suplex. Sat hits a double crossbody but gets up on the pin attempt. Sat then hits a double chokeslam and pins them both together.

Thoughts: It was the usual Singh squash. He won as always and did his usual offense without much variation. He wins all of these matches but never gets a title shot from it. 

Nick Wayne, Kip Sabian and The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, Blake Christian and Lee Johnson) vs AR Fox, Mascara Dorada, Mistico, EL Phantasmo and Michael Oku

Jay eye pokes AR off the lock up and bangs his head off the buckles. AR stunners him and flying corner lariats him. Jay knees him in the gut then AR twisting brainbusters Blake. MD top rope elbow drops Blake's arm. 

Blake headflips over MD and both handspring and land at the same time. MD offers a handshake and Blake boots him. MD walks up the ropes, flips into the ropes and armdrags Lee down. Oku flying headscissors and dropkicks Lee.

Oku armdrags Nick. ELP top rope double axe handle's Nick's arm. ELP chops Nick in the corner. ELP walks up the ropes, rope walks and evades shots from the heels. ELP diving headscissors Nick down. Blake flying knees ELP from the side. Jay stomps ELP. Blake boots ELP. 

ELP step up enzugiri's Nick. Mist springboard crossbodies Kip and Nick. Mist springboard double back elbows them. Mist is flipped into the ropes and he double armdrags Lee and Blake. Mist walks up the buckles and springboard corkscrew diving armdrags Nick. Mist top rope swantons Nick for 2.

Nick shiranui's Mist. AR handstands out of Nick's cutter. AR and Nick trade forearms. Both get dropkicked out. Jay and Mist hit topes at almost the same time. ELP and Kip then hit stereo slingshot plancha's. Lee and MD then do stereo dives out.

AR springboard inverted flip dives out. Oku and Nick superkick each other. Oku flying knees Nick. Oku goes for a tope and Mother Wayne blocks him. Blake top rope double stomps Oku. Blake hits a 21plex on Oku. Nick wristclutch fisherman busters Oku and pins him.

Thoughts: It didn't do that long and was a bit rushed. This could have used double the time. I didn't like some of the stereo dive spots. A wrestler would see his opponent go for a dive and instead of stopping him, he'd also do a dive. That was dumb and I'd be mad if I were that person's opponent. Other than that it was all flying and fast paced action. It was entertaining but that's about it. At least Blake pushed his feud with Bandido a little here, but there's no real excuse for Bandido not being here. 

Overall thoughts: It was your usual random ROH show. They are pushing that Alec/Oliver are on a win streak and they thankfully won their match. Lance and Singh won pointless squashes. Deonna won a quick squash and Uno did as well. The main was a bit rushed but it had quick action and lots of flying. That one should have gone longer. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was average and there was nothing must see here.  

CMLL 5/10/2026 Domingo Familiar

Oro is laid on the top rope. Kam runs the ropes and springboard dropkicks him. Kam pins Oro. Kamelot's team wins the fall.

Thoughts: Kam and Trog were a bit sloppy here. Electrico worked hard and did some nice technical wrestling. CMLL always finds these bgiger guys like Kam and they always end up producing sloppy matches. Kam seems like the next in line to be doing that. 

Lightning Match - Raider vs. Dulce Gardenia

DG ended up doing a lightning match the next night as well against Akuma after this one.

They lock up. DG waistlocks him then Raid bites his fingers. DG headflips out and struts. DG slides out and Raid chases him. DG and Raid both wraparound the post. DG tries to blind springboard but falls. DG flying headscissors Raid then topes him outside. Raid then tope con hilos him.

Thoughts: It wasn't that bad. Raider had a good night here and was moving well. DG didn't overdo it with his usual shtick too much. I think DG got the outside of his nose cut a little here but it wasn't bad.

DF asai moonsaults and DL top rope moonsaults outside. Rojo top rope double stomps Maya and pins him. Dragon Rojo Jr's  team wins the fall and the match in two straight falls.

Thoughts: I would have liked it to go on longer as it was going alright. The faces didn't have the most clean flying ever here but they were trying a lot of things. Crixus didn't impress, though he rarely does. I was surprised to see this end in 2 falls as it seemed like it was building for a 3rd fall.

Thoughts: It was enough but not anyone's best work. Mist had a solid night as usual though as he hit all of his stuff clean. The faces got double and triple teamed here a decent bit and the 3rd fall was the best fall as usual. 

The announcer then closes the show. Mist and Esf join him. Mist says good afternoon to everyone and congratulates the moms since it is Mother's Day.

Overall thoughts: The first bout wasn't good but Electrico worked hard. Dulce/Raider was a lot better than expected and it wasn't bad. The 3rd match ended a bit too soon but the faces were fine. The Villanos' match was the best bout of the night with the heels doing a good job heeling and the faces doing their thing. The semi-main had a dead crowd and it was slower and less exciting. The main was acceptable but not the wrestlers' best work. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was average overall.

WWE NXT 5/12/2026

WWE NXT 5/12/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wwe-nxt-552026.html

Vic Joseph and Booker T are on commentary. We are the Performance Center in Orlando, FL.

NL spin kicks her in the head. NL goes for the tag and Zar refuses it, getting off the apron. Lizzy hits her bad step up knee finisher on NL and wins.

Thoughts: I didn't like the logic here. They didn't really explain why Zaria would go through the whole and ditch Lyons. I'm not even sure why she ditched her. Lizzy's finisher didn't look good here but it wasn't that bad leading up to it.  

Kendal Grey and Wren Sinclair talk in the back. Wren says she wants to help her win the NXT Title but doesn't want to be a distraction. KG says she's not and says they won't be like Sol and Zaria. Lola Vice comes in and says the idea of them fighting sounds good. KG says she wants to show her that wrestling is better than MMA. Wren tells KG to focus on Kelani. KG says she will see Lola with the title on the line. 

Naraku vs Lince Dorado

This is Naraku/Evil's WWE TV debut. Evil was one of my least favorite wrestlers in the world the last few years and I'm not excited to see him here.

Nar boots him and elbows the arm. Nar wristlocks him. Lince headflips out and is put in a side headlock. Nar shoulders him over and boots him. Nar hits chops. Lince springboard twisting crossbodies him. Nar rakes his eyes with his feet. 

Nar suplexes Lince into the buckles. Nar hit some shots on him. Nar pop up dropkicks him. Nar short arm lariats him. Nar slams him and hits elbows to the face. Nar facelocks him. Lince enzugiri's him. Nar pops him up and Lince dropkicks him. 

Lince hits forearms and chops. Lince handspring stunners him. Nar running boots him in the head. Nar fisherman suplexes him twice. Nar hits everything is evil and wins.

Thoughts: It wasn't very impressive as expected. Naraku did little but various strikes and even with this forgiving crowd, he didn't get that over. Thankfully he didn't do the lame cheating. Lince carried this.

Naraku says he's pure evil after.

EK Prosper, Sean Legacy and Tate Wilder talk. Sean says it's good to be back. Sean tells Tate to always pick his spot. Tate says he's bringing the wildside out. Dorian Van Dux comes in. He says he needs one more week and can wrestle. Sean says he knows how hard it is to come back from injury. Sean says he was a beast in their match they had years ago. 

We get a taped Nattie/Natalya video where she talks about NXT. Jaida Parker interrupts and wants to talk. Jaida says it's her time now. They go to fight and officials stop them. 

The Birthright (Charlie Dempsey, Stacks and Uriah Connors) vs Tate Wilder, EK Prosper and Sean Legacy

Stacks backs up Tate in the corner. He slaps and shoves him. Tate flying snapmares Stacks, armdrags him and dropkicks him. CD slepeers Tate. Tate hits euros. Sean wristlocks CD. CD euros him. Sean trips CD and double stomps his back. Sean dropkicks CD for 2.

Tate TKO's UC for 2. Tate tope con hilos the heels outside. Tate backdrops CD. Sean begs Tate for a tag. Tate top rope splashes CD. Sean begs for a tag again. EK tells Tate to make a tag. Tate misses a top rope moonsault. Tate takes a double flying kick to the face and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was your usual 6-man with a lot of flying and fast paced action. It was fine but not as great as the crowd made it out to be. They ran a story near the end with Tate refusing to tag out and getting pinned because of it. I'm really not high on most of these guys. EK will be fine as a midcard flippy guy and Tate could have a higher ceiling, but I feel like Connors, Stacks and Sean could probably be cut tomorrow.

Tatum and Lizzy talk in the back. Tatum says she wants to give Lizzy the first shot. Shiloh Hill pops in. He says he has done research on Tristan Angels. Lizzy says she can't escape him. Shiloh talks about how many sheep Angels' family owns. Tatum wonder who would be Mr. NXT if they had one and Shiloh says he would be. Tristan Angels walks in and is disgusted. He says it's absurd that he thinks he can outclass him. Angels says he debuts next week and will show that he's in a class of his own.

The Culling do a video. Niko says Izzi could be set up for a title match. Shawn says Niko was an animal last week and they are stronger together. Niko puts over Izzi and says no one has the attention to detail like her. Izzi says they re always 2 steps ahead. Shawn and Niko go to leave and Izzi tells Niko to stay back. Izzi says if Lola watches the match tonight, she's watching her.

Robert Stone is in the ring. Stone brings out Mason Rook to sign his contract. Rook says he traveled all across Europe and has been to Japan. He says everywhere he goes he turns heads. He says even John Cena sees him. He says it's hard not to notice a flying human tank. He says he's not satisfied and wants more. He says he's not the best super heavyweight but the best anyweight. He says the others will find out that if you try to stop a tank, you get crushed.

Tony D'Angelo comes out. Tony says Rook got his attention. Kam Hendrix jumps Tony from behind. Tony fights him. Rook does a moonsault off the buckles to the outside and lands on one of the security guards, who holds his shoulder after. Rook signs his contract.

Thoughts: Rook can't be doing dives to the outside like that. He's too heavy. People are going to get hurt trying to catch him and someone may have gotten hurt here.

Noam Dar talks to Romeo Moreno in the back. Romeo talks about watching his old matches. Dar says he hasn't wrestled in a year and says he doesn't know if he's that guy anymore. 

We see Emily Agard meeting OTM at a BBQ. Nima introduces us to his little brother JJ. Price puts over Nima for being tough. He says Nima lost his brother at a young age. Nima says JJ never had to worry about anyone being by his side. He says that's what happens when opportunity means responsibility. JJ says OTM is the embodiment of overcoming adversity. Nima says Price is quiet but studies everything. He says his intelligence is dangerous. Nima says Price is an artist. They say it'll be Round 2 with Vanity Project soon enough then they eat hot dogs.

Noam Dar vs Jackson Drake

Dar leg kicks him. Dar sweeps him. Dar side headlocks him and shoulders him over. JD is pulled down on the leapfrog and Dar ankle locks him. Dar uraken's him for 2. JD pounds on him. Dar legsweeps him on the apron then pump kicks him off the apron. We go to PiP break and return.

Dar tries a bridge pin for 2. Dar armbars him. JD high kicks him. They trade forearms. Dar hits kicks on JD. JD kicks him in the leg then superkicks him. JD handsprings and Dar kicks him. 

Dar follows JD outside and runs into The Vanity Project. Myka grabs Dar as he tries to get in. The ref sees it and ignores it. JD flying knees Dar and top rope 450's him for the win.

Thoughts: The work was fine but I wasn't real into this one. This was a lose-lose as both guys could have used the win here. Dar winning a quicker squash would have been better.

Darkstate come out and we go to break. 

Myles Borne and Tavion Heights talk. Borne says Stone talked to him about a tag match. Tav thinks he's teaming with Borne and Borne says he has to team with Tony. Tav gets mad. Tay tells him good luck and says he hopes Tony is there for him like Tav would have been.

Darkstate talk to The Vanity Project. Dion says they are here to collect the titles and show who is in control. Shugars says control is the name of the game. Brad says they took the titles from them and made Shugars and Dion get at each other. Brad says they don't give handouts. Cutler says they never got a rematch for the tag titles and are cashing in. Cutler says Stone approved it and says they will bring the titles home next week. He says it'll be Shugars and Dion. Cutler says it's on them. Griffin tells them to figure it out or things will have to change. Vanity Project then tries a sneak attack and is sent out.

Keanu Carver comes in. He says he's done talking to people. Stone tells Tate that if he wants a match, he can face Keanu next week. Keanu asks if he has a death wish and Stone says "possibly". 

Kali Armstrong is interviewed. She says she wants the keep the momentum going but wants to scope out the competition before making the next move. She says she will run through the NXT locker room like she did Evolve. Kendal Grey comes in and says she didn't run though everyone.

Kendal Grey vs Kelani Jordan

They lock up. KG shoves her and takes her down. KG takes her down again and goes for the armbar. KJ ropebreaks. KJ knees her in the gut then hits chops. KJ cartwheels out of a fireman's carry and dropkicks her. KJ boots her in the corner. 

KG back elbows her. KG throws her down by the leg and basement dropkicks her. KG slingshot stomps her for 2. They backroll each other. KG ankle locks her. KJ asai moonsaults her outside. 

KG tiger feint kicks her under the bottom rope. KG top rope crossbodies her outside. We go to PiP break and return. They forearm each other at the same time and swinging facebuster each other at the same time. KJ is lariated over the top. 

KG hits back elbows. KG overhead belly to belly suplexes her. KG hits suplexes on her. KJ hurricanrana's her for 2. KJ 2nd rope diving forearms her and sitout powerbombs her for 2. KG goes for an ankle lock and KJ tries to roll her off but can't. KG rolling armbars her.

Thoughts: They had an athletic match here. I would have liked KJ to sell the ankle more since KG ankle locked her for a while. The match was fine overall. It feels like there's going to be something set up next week over this.

Lola and KG shove each other after. Izzi Dame nails Lola from behind.

Overall thoughts: 2 years ago when NXT lost Melo, Dragunov and others, I said NXT was going to be rough for a while until new stars are made. We are back at that point again and it's even worse now with the men. There's just not those obvious breakout guys like there used to be (I feel confident Keanu, Van Dux and Vanity Project will make the main roster), there's a lot of guys who have been around for a while but are just stuck at certain levels (Birthright, Darkstate, Tavion, Briggs, Tony, Hank and Tank and OTM) and I'm not feeling a lot of the new recruits (Rook and Naraku). 

The ending of the opener hurt that bout. Naraku/Evil didn't impress. The trios match was the usual trios match with a lot happening at a fast pace and it was alright. Dar/Drake had some decent work in it but I couldn't get into it. The main was athletic and suitable, but I think it could have been better. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall and I thought it was average. I wouldn't recommend it.

Thoughts: It was an okay little four way here. There was nothing memorable but it was safe and they did some flying before going home. I had no issues with this and it did what it was supposed to do. 

Overall thoughts: We had one new match and one new interview segment here along with some recaps and new matches. None of the new content was must see. The four way was fine though and was a perfectly fine opener with some flying. You don't need to see this one but you can get through all the new content pretty quickly. 

WWC Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre 5/10/2026

WWC Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre 5/10/2026

WWC Women's Title - Kamila (c) vs Natalia Markova 

Diego Luna and Jc Jexx vs Amaddeo Sole and Tony Leyenda

----

We see La Guerrera Amazona look at her phone to start. 

Abel Durant is our sole host today. He welcomes us to the show. Abel tells us about Amazona being invited to the show next week by Ray Gonzalez. He wonders what Ray's motive is.

Xavant vs Tony Leyenda 

We join this in progress. Tony suplexes him and poses. Tony hits shots on him while he's down. Tony slams him. Tony 2nd rope double axe handles him. Tony is caught coming off the 2nd rope. Xavant belly to belly suplexes him.

Thoughts: We didn't get that much of this. We saw Tony beat up Xavant then we saw Xavant make a quick comeback and win.  

El Hostil Jovan does a promo. Jovan says Informante got clever and won. He says Bayamon say what happened though. He says he didn't come here to make excuses. He says he has done nothing but defend the title. He says he will see him Saturday.

Kamila does a promo. She says she will face Natalia Markova. She expects a great challenge. She says Nat is the champ for a reason but says the title will stay around her waist. She says she'll see her in PR.

Lightning and Orlando Toledo do a promo. Orlando says Light is ready. 

El Payaso Makabro does a promo. Mak says he will face Lightning for the first time. He says Light was part of the best tag team in PR history. He says Lightning never faced him.

WWC Women's Title - Kamila (c) vs Elena Negroni

We join this in progress. Kam hits flying double chops. Kam misses a corner charge and Elena dropkicks her. Elena corner meteora's her. Elena then split leg drops her for 2. Elena slams down Kam then she mounts her and chokes her. elena and the ref argue.

Thoughts: Elena had issues with her top here and it seems like it maybe broke during the pin attempt at the end as she wouldn't let go of it. Kam then won. We only saw the second half of this and the finish brought down whatever good will this had earned.

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

Jc Jexx does a promo. Jc says he's teaming with Deigo Luna for the first time. He says Tony and Sole are so cocky because they are handsome. Jc says he's more handsome. Jc says him and Luna will have a trial by fire. He says they will jump them to the next level. Jc says they are good but they have more heart than them and they will prove it.

WWC Universal Title - Intelecto Cinco Estrellas (c) vs John Hawking

We join this in progress. Cinco shoulders him over then sleepers him. John keeps his shoulder and does a bad stunner where both men fall over to escape. John hits punches and lariats on Cinco. John corner splashes him twice. John does a bad running shoulderblock. John full nelson's him then grounds him with it. 

Orlando Toledo gets on the apron and he pulls John's throat over the top rope. Cinco backcrackers John and pins him.

Thoughts: We only saw the last few minutes of this. What we saw  didn't look that good and the finish was very lame with Toledo pulling John's throat over the top to set up the finish. John's not moving well these days at all. This was a cheap finish to what should be a bigtime feud.

Eddie and Carlito Colon do a promo. Eddie talks about their match vs Gonzalez and Paparazzi. Carlito laughs at having to face them. Eddie says him and Carlito are a machine that is in sync. Eddie says Ray is a legend but doesn't think so much of Paparazzi. Eddie says Ray is walking into a trap and says God bless them as they will need it. Carlito walks off in laughter.

El Paparazzi and Ray Gonzalez do a promo. Papa tells Amazona not to fail to come to the show. Ray says Amazona and Chicano have a lot to talk about. Ray says Chicano knows he did things wrong and says it influenced his family. He says they can vent at Furia Extrema. Ray says they will set things on fire vs The Colon's. Ray says they are not past their prime and says Paparazzi is the gas. Ray says they will checkmate them.

Wil says he won't let Idol take the title from the fans.

Abel shows us clip of La Amenaza Bryan's return to WWC.

Intelecto Cinco Estrellas does a promo. Cinco says Bryan's problem isn't fear, it's overconfidence. He says he doesn't know the magnitude of the problem he has gotten himself into. He says Bryan is dragging his feet and says he leaves his mark instead. He says he causes consequences. He says Bryan will perceive the true threat when he faces him. He says Bryan made a mistake getting in his way.

La Amenaza Bryan does a promo. Bryan says let's see who the is the best between him and Estrellas. He says he expects him to give him the fight of his life as Bryan says he will give it his all. He says he's coming to humiliate him and prove he's the best.

Abel talks more. 

We see some clips of John Hawking's recent wins.

Joe Bravo does a promo. Joe says "What a surprise I've found" about the triple threat he will be in. He says he has all the tools to hold the title. He says he hopes John Hawking is enjoying his study of lucha libre as he will give him a class on it. He says he will do his best by hook or by crock.

John Hawking does a promo. He says he has a history with Joe Bravo. He says Xavant calls himself the people's champ but John says the people's chant is here. He says he will defend his title with all of his heart and he says he's the people's chant.

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

We see clips of the Benabe/Mike Nice vs Los Inmortales match where the titles got held up due to the screwy finish. This was shown yesterday. We see extra clips where 2 other refs confront Orlando. Orlando and Pelayo each take a belt. Orlando leaves with Los Inmortales and says they won. Abel announces that the titles were held up.

Los Inmortales do a promo. They say they are tired of Pelayo the ref, Benabe and Nice. They say there will be new tag champs and that's the truth.

Mike Nice and Oscar Benabe do a promo. Oscar says Toledo stole the tag titles from them and says they are the champs whether they have the belts or not. Mike Nice says what Orlando is doing is too much. Mike says they will unfreeze the titles and get the titles back.

Abel then talks to close the show. 

Overall thoughts: It was the usual WWC show with them only showing us clips of matches and them reusing some promos. We did get some explanation on what happened with the tag titles at the last show, but it took quite a while to get it. There was nothing that great here but I am interested to see what happens at Furia Extrema. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 overall and the show was below average, as it often is. Would it really kill them to let us see a full match of some sort now and then?

CMLL 5/11/2026 Arena Puebla

The announcer welcomes us to the show as usual.

Thoughts: It was maybe the 2nd best match on the show but it wasn't saying a lot. They at least picked up the pace a little here and the faces got to fly a little. It was acceptable but it didn't get a ton of time and it wasn't their best work. 

Overall thoughts: It was a below average show. The women's match was the best thing on here and that's not something I say a lot on these CMLL shows. The 2nd match wasn't that great. The 3rd match with Fuego was average. Dulce did his shtick all throughout his match and Akuma didn't get much offense in. The semi-main went long and was boring. The main was acceptable but absolutely nothing for any of those guys. I would give this a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.
