WWE Main Event 4/30/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/wwe-main-event-4232026.html

Vic Joseph and Byron Saxton are on commentary.

Jordynne Grace vs Lash Legend

They lock up. JG gets on the buckles, comes down and Lash pushes her. JD side headlocks her and they shoulder battle. Lash shoulders her over. JG hits forearms. JG boots her off the ropes. Lash suplexes her and kips up.

JG bodyscissors her and hits headbutts. Lash forearms her, sending her out of the ring. Lash drops her head first on the apron edge. JG dropkicks her in the knee then knee her in the face. Lash blocks a sunset flip. Lash misses a corner charge and goes into the buckles. JG running back elbows her in the corner. 

JG vader bombs her for 2. JG hurricanrana's her for 2. Lash pump kicks her. Lash hits a powerbomb for 2. JG ddt's her off the casadora then suplexes her. Lash hits a lash extension and wins.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. JG couldn't do a lot of her usual stuff because Lash was so much bigger than her and her offense didn't look that good.  

Otis vs Josh Briggs

This could be good. Maxxine Dupri is with Otis after not being with him for a while.

They lock up. Otis side headlocks him. They shoulderblock each other. JB boots Otis in the gut then Otis shoulders him over. Otis running bodyblocks him in the head. JB back elbows him and sends him shoulder first into the post. JB boots and foot chokes Otis in the corner. 

Otis blocks JB's backdrop. JB hits a nice facekick for 2. Otis hits some big roundhouse shots and JB clubs on Otis' back. JB side slams him and splashes him for 2. JB armlocks him and puts his elbow in Otis' face.

Otis bodyblocks him and hits lariats. Otis spinning back elbows him. Otis corner splashes him. JB boots him out of the corner. Otis slams him down. Otis does the caterpillar splash and wins.

Thoughts: It was basically a drunken brawl with them stiffing each other and not making it look pretty. It definitely did look like a fight but it had no rhythm or flow to it. I'd put the blame on Otis for that as he didn't look like he was in the mood.

Laredo Kid vs Joaquin Wilde

This is is Kid's main roster debut. Good for him.

They lock up. JW wristlocks him. Kid rolls, headflips and they trip each other. They headflip up and stand off. Kid flying headscissors JW out. Kid grabs JW by the hair. JW whips Kid down by the arm. Kid chops JW.

JW ddt's him. JW ties his legs up, ties up an arm then puts hairspray on his hair. JW chops Kid in the corner. Kid boots him out of the corner then hits an open hand shot. Kid top rope dropkicks him and kips up. Kid hits kicks then neckbreakers him.

Kid twisting moonsaults him off the bottom and middle rope for 2. JW armbars him. Kid la magistral's him. Kid enzugiri's JW on the apron. Kid then topes him outside. JW boots him out of the corner. JW is caught up top and Kid top rope flipping belly to belly suplexes him for the win.

Thoughts: I was very surprised by this. It was a big win for Kid even though JW is low on the main roster totem pole. It wasn't the best match they could have have had but they had a few highlights and it was alright.

Overall thoughts: There were 3 new matches here. None of were must see and the Wilde/Laredo match was the best match of the night. Otis/Briggs was ugly and looked like a real fight at times. The women's match wasn't that good. There was nothing you needed to see here and you could skip this one.

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 4/30/2026 Lunacy Episode 80

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 4/30/2026 Lunacy Episode 80

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/juggalo-championship-wrestling-4232026.html

Mark Roberts and Zac Amico are on commentary. 

Vince Russo says Violent J didn't tell him he signed EC3 and did it on his own. J says Russo is always mad about something and says he thought EC3 was Russo's boy. Russo says you don't trust wrestlers. Russo says EC3 doesn't care about anything but EC3 and he says J will learn the hard way.

Jeeves and EC3 come out. Jeeves introduces himself. He says EC is the man who saved JCW. Jeeves says the butler did it. He says you are crazy if you thought they would let Caleb Konley represent JCW. He says he went from Kaleb's butler to hanging out with the family. He says Caleb went from being the man to Russo's b!tch. He says Caleb is nothing but a sh!tstain.

Caleb Konley and Vince Russo come out. Russo says he thought him and EC were friends. He say EC can work Violent J, but not him. Russo says he brought him on his podcast and paid him handsomely for it and this is what he did to him. 

EC3 says he's the manifestation of every bad booking decision Russo made. EC says everyone works everyone in wrestling. EC talks about being independent contractors. Caleb says EC is a free agent because Billy Corgan realized he's a cancer on the locker room. He says EC screwed him at Stranglemania and says the title was his until he got his nose in his business. He tells him to control his narrative (referencing the promotion). Caleb asks what EC3 we are getting today.

EC asks who Caleb is. Caleb says he's the guy that's gonna knock him out. Caleb hits him and they fight to the outside. EC takes down Caleb in the ring and pounds on him. Refs come down to separate them and Caleb slaps EC. Russo then slaps Jeeves.

Thoughts: Not a big fan of them using insider terms and insider info and they were definitely trying to shoot here on the mic. 

Mack Davis interviews Big Al outside. She says she's looking for Dani Mo. Mack says Dani didn't tag her in at Stranglemania and was trying to win the title herself. Al says that's what she was doing. Al says they were supposed to be friends and asks what Dani is doing.

Vince Russo and Caleb Konley do a promo. Russo says Caleb beat Matt Riddle and Nic Nemeth in under 5 minutes. He asks if he understands and says EC3 understands. He says EC3 worked Violent J to steal Caleb's spotlight. Russo says EC can steal the spotlight tonight when he faces Kerry Morton tonight with Caleb Konley as the guest ref. Russo says EC got the JCW spotlight he wanted.

Big Vito tells someone named Vincenzo he will be in charge. Vito asks where his nephew is. Vincenzo says he's banging broads and will be late. Vito says he bangs the broads around here and says he will handle the clowns tonight.

The Green Phantom vs Facade

This is Green's JCW debut. He gets on the mic before it starts. He says the world is run by crooks, liars and cheaters. He says there could be a greater, greener world for them. He says he envisions a green world for JCW. He says he's here to save the day, the world and JCW.

Fac springboard dropkicks him and pins him.

Thoughts: What? GP got pinned in seconds here in his debut. Boy do I hope there is a good storyline explanation for this.

Mack Davis interviews The Brothers of Funstructon without their clown gear on. They say they are The Brothers of Ciccone. They say Yabo getting tied up was a mind game. Ruffo say they aren't even sleeping at night. Ruffo says the hunt just started. Yabo says you gotta get to them before they get to you.

2 Tuff Tony and Willie Mack come in. They say they got their backs.

Violent J talks to The Green Phantom in the back. J says he doesn't know how GP lost like that. Vince Russo comes in. He says GP is another Violent J signing that J didn't talk to Russo about. Russo says GP lost to Facade and says Facade didn't even have to cheat. J says when he saw GP in Japan, he was a monster. He assures Russo that the great Green Phantom will get it together. Russo says GP is one loss away from working at NWA. GP says Russo will get with the green.

We see clips of the feud between Steven Flowe and CoKane.

Guitar on a Pole Match - Steve Flowe vs CoKane

I wonder who booked this.

Kane gets hit from behind. Steve punches and boots him. Steve flying headscissors him but Kane headflips out. Kane hits uppercuts and drops him with a spinning uppercut. Kane goes into the corner and rolls onto the top rope. Steve dropkicks him out of the ring. 

Steve goes to climb the pole and is pulled down. Steve spinning enzugiri's him. Steve goes up the pole again. Steve flips out of a powerbomb then Kane handspring cutters him. Kane goes up top and is hit. Steve 2nd rope AA's him. Steve grabs the guitar. 

Steve misses a guitar shot. Steve triangles him off a chokeslam attempt. A masked female wrestler cheers on Kane in the front row. Kane powerbombs him on the guitar and wins.

Thoughts: It wasn't bad though we didn't actually get to see the guitar used. It ended at about the right time. Kane won here and that should end this feud.

We find out the masked girl is HoKane. Kane then gives HoKane cocaine after. 

Mack Davis interviews Kerry Morton. Kerry says he doesn't get Vince Russo. He says Russo sets him up for failure but he always swings at the ball and hits a homerun. Kerry says he's excited to face EC3 and says he hasn't had a carb in 800 years. Kerry says they don't make people like him anymore.

Big Al is still looking for Dani Mo outside.

Mack Davis interviews Big Vito. Vito tells Mack to mind his business about his nephew. He says his nephew will be here. We then see Luigi Primo come in. Vito says he's coming in with a pizza again and does nothing. Primo thanks him for getting him a match. Primo says he's got a gift for the clown's tonight. Vito tells him to kill the clowns and slap them with his pizza. Primo leaves and Vito calls him a f*cking idiot.

Barnabus the Bizarre talks to The Outbreak. He says they have been clean for 2 hours and he will give them water for detoxing. The Outbreak get hold of oxycodone and Barnabus gets mad as he asks who keeps giving them this stuff.

Luigi Primo vs Father Bronson

This is Bronson's JCW debut. FB comes to the ring with roses and gives them to fans. He then tells the ref to give Primo one. FB gets on the mic. He says the people could be anywhere but chose to be here and get some red love. He tells the fans to applaud themselves for bringing the energy and for being a collection of some of the most mediocre and disgusting pieces of trash he has ever seen. FB says he came here to change lives. He says Primo can take his rose and head to the back. Primo opts not to.

FB boots Primo in the gut and shoulders him over. FB slams him. FB hits knees to the gut of Primo. Primo dropkicks him twice. FB goes for a powerbomb and Primo puts the pizza dough on his head. Primo stunners him. FB catches him off the buckles and drops him down. 

FB hits mounted shots. FB slams him for 2. Primo hits shots. FB hits knees to the gut. FB flying knees him in the corner for 2. Primo hits punches and spinning heel kicks him. Primo enzugiri's him from the apron and facebusters him off the 2nd rope. Primo grabs his dough from the outside and throws it in FB's face.

Primo hits some hard forearms and chops. FB texas cloverleafs him and submit him.

Thoughts: Primo wasn't that bad as a face here as he showed some fire and hit some hard strikes, but it's hard to buy him trying to have a match while throwing dough around. Primo is at least treated like a complete moron though. FB hit a bunch of nice knees to the gut and hits offense looked really solid here. I was surprised FB didn't completely stomp him. 

The Brothers of Funstruction grab Big Vito and say he kidnapped his brother. One of the Brothers tells Vito "when you least expect it" and they tell him he can go as Mack and 2 Tuff Tony are there.

Big Al waits for Dani Mo outside. She sees her walk past and tells her to give her some answers. Dani says she wouldn't understand. Al hits her then sends her into a brick wall. Al tells her to give her the answers.

The Brothers of Funstruction talk. They says they should handle this. Luigi Primo comes in and asks where their bed in. Primo says he's got to put something in it. He then shows a horse head on a stick and says Vito said to send a message. The Brothers say "Godfather" and say to stay away from Vito. Primo then gives them the horse head on a stick.

Sicilian Street Fight - Big Vito vs PCO

Vito tells the fans to wipe the facepaint off their faces. He says he's the devil and is here to make sure they all have nightmares.

They trade shots. Vito hits chest clubs. PCO hits chops. Vito hits more shots. PCO gets the edge. The Outbreak come out and look to ee if the announcers have drugs. PCO hits back hand shots and a uraken. PCO his him from behind. PCO hits knees to the gut. 2 Tuff Tony and Willie Mack walk in and hit punches on Vito.

The Brothers of Funstruction come in with a "Wet Floor" sign and a "One Way" sign. They beat up on Vito too. Vito gets hit with the signs. Tony stops one of the The Brothers then he nails Vito anyway. PCO lariats Vito and pins him.

Thoughts: It wasn't much of a match, just a babyface beatdown on Vito, paying him back for various things. It made sense though and there was a reason for it.

Blast from the Past

This week's match is Doug Basham and The Damajah vs The Weedman and Billy Bong. Weedman pinned one of The Basham's to win.

Mack Davis goes up to Big Vito in the back and asks if he's okay. Vito gets mad at him. He says he's never been his brother and is an @sshole announcer. Vito says it took 6 guys to take him down tonight. Mack goes to speak and Vito yells at him. Vito says his nephew didn't make it here but it's not his business. He says his nephew will be here next week. He says its the death of the people who attacked him next week. 

Special Ref - Caleb Konley: EC3 vs Kerry Morton
 
Cal nails EC from behind before Kerry comes out. They fight and other refs come to break it up. Kerry comes down and stomps EC.

KM chokes him over the 2nd rope. KM hits corner spears. KM stomps him in the corner. EC hits chops. KM chops him down. KM guillotines him. The crowd chants for EC. EC holds him in the ddt position and sends him down backwards. KM slingshot suplexes him then fist drops him. 

EC chops him down. KM stomps EC's leg. KM comes off the top and EC hits him in the gut. EC running lariats KM then slams him. EC corner lariats him then KM dropkicks him. KM stomps EC. KM jumps off the top then grabs a chinlock on EC. 

EC jawbreakers him and hits punches. EC lariats him and back elbows him. EC thesz presses him. Caleb says KM from a move. EC grabs Caleb in the corner. KM pumping knees EC into him. KM ddt's EC. EC TKO's KM. Caleb goes to count and pretends his arm hurts during the count. Caleb flips the bird at EC. EC blocks a crotch kick. EC TKO's Caleb on the knee. KM pumping knees Caleb outside. 

KM teases making friends with EC then tries to kick him low. EC hits a headlock driver on KM. Jeeves comes in and counts the pin for EC, though Jeeves isn't the ref. EC and Jeeves then head to the commentary table. EC talks on the headset but we can't hear him. I think he said that he's here to end Russo booking.

Thoughts: It's hard to blame EC3. He did a smart thing and just left instead of dealing with the bs. The match kind of went as expected with Caleb screwing EC3. Kerry and EC didn't have a great match but it was acceptable enough. Caleb hitting EC before this even started was kind of funny.

Kerry and Caleb argue and shove each other after. They then shake hands. The Green Phantom comes out. Green offers Caleb a handshake then boots him. Green then rebound cutters him. Green takes off his mask and it's Matt Cross. Kerry tells commentary that if you can't beat him, join him.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual JCW Lunacy ep. We had some clever stuff here with all the faces ganging up on Vito and EC3 just leaving his match when it was clear that Caleb Konley was going to screw him. Matt Cross dressing up as The Green Phantom was a cool moment. Father Bronson also debuted here and his offense wasn't bad. Vito's got a new nephew coming in next week which should spice things up and The Outbreak are still on drugs. I'd give it a 6 out of 10. It was a fun little episode though nothing was that great in-ring wise.

EPW Wrestling 4/25/2026 Episode #239

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/epw-wrestling-4182026-episode-238.html

Gene Jackson and Joey Gross are on commentary.

Crossroads Clash 2026 is tonight.

Madi the American Badi is interviewed by Jaxx Roxx. She says she wants to be addressed as Miss Madi Monroe. There's a table set up with a balloon. Madi says she's supposed to have a cake out here and a ref brings it out.

We go to break and return. Madi says it's time to eat the cake and asks who is excited for it. Madi eats the cake and offers Jaxx some, but then says he doesn't need it. She asks if he heard of The CJ System. She says the ring ropes need to be pink and the ref who brought the cake needs fired.

Diana Taylor comes out with a gift. Madi is surprised by the gift. Madi says she's not dumb and it's a trick. She says she won't open that. Jaxx goes to the bat for Diana. Diana says she's proud of how far Madi has come. She says Madi used to sit in the front row and is now a champ. She says it's for her. Madi opens the gift and it's a pink bra. Madi asks what it is. Diana then eats the cake. Madi asks if she looks like she needs this. Diana says it's a training bra. Madi says the cake is all hers then Diana shoves the cake in her face.

Thoughts: Yep, the heel got cake put in their face as always. It's a classic wrestling angle (my earliest reference point for it is 1982) and they brought it back here. This will set up something between those two. 

CJ Thomas vs Chuck Swann

They lock up. CJ side headlocks him. Swann waistlocks him then CJ reverses it. Swann escapes and then armdrags him. We go to break and return. Swann dances and pendulum bronco busters him in the corner.

Thoughts: It was a short but fun match here with CJ getting cocky and eventually paying for it.

CJ attacks Swann after then chokes him. CJ torture racks him and lets him go. CJ gets on the mic. He says people like Swann make him sick. He says they go out drinking and partying and eating anything while CJ gets up early, eats dozens of eggs and works out to be better than you. He says he is better than you. He says Swann is what's wrong with EPW. He says EPW is now on a no sugar diet (Swann's nickname is "Brown Sugar"). He says that's a CJ Thomas promise.

Shawn Aries talks to Marko Harris outside. Marko asks if he wants a title shot and he says Marko did issue an open challenge. Marko says he will give it to anyone at any time. Eli Knox comes in and says he's entitled to a rematch. CJ says he wants his shot first. Marko says he'll take both on anytime and says how about tonight?

EPW Apex Title - Marko Harris (c) vs Eli Knox vs Shawn Aries

Marko piefaces both oppoennts and poses. Eli's boot is blocked and he is pushed by both. Eli sends his opponents into each other and rolls up SA. SA superkicks and euros him. SA slides and is caught with a Marko slingblade.

Ethan Ross comes out and Marko topes him. SA springboard kicks Eli. Izzy Rotten gets on the apron. Marko os cutters SA. Ross then comes in and throws Marko out. Ross sends Marko into the post. Eli hits a headlock driver on SA and wins.

Thoughts: It was an okay triple threat here with them doing some nice flying and Eli winning via interference. This should build up another Eli vs Marko match. This went pretty well. Marko makes his flying look so effortless.

Jaxx Roxx interviews Downtown Bruno, the Chairman of EPW.  Bruno asks The Blacklist to come out. He then asks Izzy Rotten and Ethan Ross to come out. Bruno says he saw what happened in the match between these two and have seen both teams cheat. He says he's stripping Ross and James of the EPW Tag Titles. Bruno says he's not awarding the titles to The Blacklist though. He says it'll be The Blacklist vs The Order tonight at Crossroads Clash.

Lil Bit talks to KJ Rockett and Sevyn Cruz in the back. She's told she looks lighter without the belt. She says she doesn't need a belt to beat the KJ Rockett.

Lil Bit vs KJ Rockett 

Sevyn Cruz is with KJ. They lock up and KJ has sunglasses still on her head. Bit wristlocks her and armwringers her. Bit side headlocks her then knees her in the gut. Bit running boots KJ then sentons her for 2. KJ then triesa pin off of it.

Bit side headlock takeovers her. KJ headscissors her. Bit tries a jack knife pin. KJ side headlock takeovers her and pulls her hair. Bit headscissors her. KJ slaps her then stomp her. KJ stands on her hair and pulls her arms. KJ kicks her in the back for 2.

Thoughts: It wasn't bad. KJ had a better showing than usual and roughed Bit up some before Bit picked up the win. Bit was the favorite going in and pulled this one off. It was better than expected.

Jaxx Roxx talks to Downtown Bruno in the ring. They are doing a contract signing for Aaron Roberts vs Dorian Vain for the EPW World Title. AR comes out then Dorian Vain comes out. 

Bruno tells Vain to sign the contract. Vain does. AR says this is the moment Vain has been trying to avoid. He says Vain ran his name through the mud and ran him down in the streets. AR says he has a child at home and sacrificed for this. He says his wife is begging him to show up everyday. He says he's not a great man, father or husband. He says he's a bad man that will tear him from limb to limb until he begs to be deployed. He says tonight will be a war zone and he will become champ.

Vain asks how WWE ID felt when they kicked him out of the program. He says the people like him because he looks like him. He says he should buy a ticket and be a fan because it's the best thing he hs done in his life. Vain says AR isn't man enough or paid the price enough but will tonight. He says AR has been wrestling for 12 years and they got the same opportunities. He asks what AR sacrificed? He says he sees a childish, immature, insignificant little b*tch when he sees him. AR flips the table. They go face to face and argue. Refs then separate them.

Thoughts: It was a good segment and made you want to see the big match. Segments like this help you understand what WWE was seeing Aaron. Vain did good as well.

Overall thoughts: It was a fun show. Madi got cake thrown in her face. CJ/Swann was short and fun. I liked the three way. The Order got their tag titles stripped and will have a chance to get them back tonight. Bit/KJ was better than I expected and the Vain/Roberts contract signing segment was good. The commentary was also solid as usual. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and thought it was a good show.

WWE Evolve 4/29/2026

WWE Evolve 4/29/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/wwe-evolve-4222026.html

Note - WWE released a whole bunch of Evolve wrestlers last week. Tyra Mae Steele, Aria Bennett, Trill London, Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe, Luca Crusifino and Malik Blade are gone. Tyra and Trill getting cut was shocking and I was surprised by Dupont and Igwe as well. As I had said, they started bringing a bunch of new people in and it meant a bunch of people were going to get cut. Trill looked like a major prospect to me and WWE seemed to really like Tyra.

We are at the Performance Center in Orlando, FL. Blake Howard and Peter Rosenberg are on commentary.

Harlem Lewis talks to open the show. He says he waited months for this and had a goal in mind to become Evolve champ. He says Drake and Rourke took their time to name him as an opponent. He says nothing will stop him from dropping Aaron and Cole tonight. He says tonight is his moment. He says he will pick up the mantle of being a destructive champ as Kali Armstrong exists Evolve tonight. Lewis says he takes the next step tonight.

Kali Armstrong vs Tyra Mae Steele

This is Kali's final Evolve match. This may also be Tyra's last match depending on where we are at in the taping schedule.

They lock up twice and Kali shoves her away. They mat wrestle. Tyra rolls her over for 2. Tyra side headlocks her then Kali reverses it. Kali shoulders her over then hiptosses her. Kali dropkicks her and side headlock takeovers her. Tyra headscissors her on the mat.

Thoughts: It was one of Tyra's better matches as she stuck to ankle work and amateur wrestling. Kali then overcame the ankle work and won. This was a decent match. 

Kali talks after and gets a "Thank you, Kali" graphic. She says she was born here and showed everyone she's not the one to play with. she says she carried the brand on her back. She says she made history and says she will always be the first ever Evolve Women's champ. She says nobody can take that from her. She says she built this place and now it's time she lets others live in it. She says she's going to make history up in NXT. She says it's all gas and no breaks until she gets hers.

It's GAL is outside at a pond. He says nobody ever asks how he is. He says people think he is a just a big red machine but he has feelings too. Gal says he has stood out since Day 1 but it's a lonely game. He says sometimes he just wants to fit in. He says he has lost partners, been ignored by Team PC and got laughed at. He says even Thatcher doesn't understand him. He asks if they are the dummies or if he is the dummy. He asks where he goes from here and says it's time to peak like he hasn't before.

Romeo Moreno vs Chazz "Starboy" Hall

Max Abrams gets on the mic before it starts. He has Ball, Santi and Valor with him. They get in the ring. Max says they respect Star's game. He tells Star to make the best decision of his life and join the ID 2.0 squad. Star says he's proud to be part of the new ID crew but he's not feeling them. Santi asks if he's saying no to rolling with them. Romeo says him and Star will have a match and tells them adios. Ball then nails Romeo and Romeo is stopped by ID 2.0. Star backs them off. Star then gets beaten up. Valor pop-up spinebusters Star. The segment ends without the match ever happening.

Braxton Cole is reading a book in the back to get ready.

We hear from Timothy Thatcher. Tim says Kali Armstrong has been promoted to NXT. 2 new wrestlers interrupt. They say they deserve an opportunity. Tim says he appreciates the passion. He says they are doing good in training. He says it's about time, place and need. He says he needs security and that's the job he has got. He says he can't have Max Abrams' crew causing trouble and says that's the job he has.

Tristan Angels says to be the face of Evolve is to be the face of WWE. He says he wants to control the title. He says there is only one who can handle the pressure and says he has no holes in his game. He says he's "Mr. England" Tristan Angels.

Masyn Holiday and Layla Diggs vs Anya Rune and Gianna Capri

Rune and Diggs go at it. Rune side headlock takeovers her. Mas dropkicks Rune for 1. Capri tags in. Mas back splashes her in the corner. Diggs forward handspring spears Capri. Mas butt drops Capri for 2.

Diggs fallaway slams Rune then kips up into a split. Diggs backflips out of a lariat and overhead kicks Rune. Capri pulls Mas out and bangs her head off the apron. Diggs scissors kicks Rune and pins her.

Thoughts: I'm not a big fan of Rune and Capri losing here so early into their run. Diggs had one of her best matches in a while as she was moving well and didn't botch. It was acceptable.

Capri tells Rune she ruined this for her as Masyn and Diggs dance in the ring.

Laynie Luck and Wendy Choo are interviewed by Chuey Martinez. Luck says this is the biggest match of her career and she won't take it lightly. She says she doesn't know what version of Choo she will get and won't let her guard down. Choo says her path has been all over the place. She says she's finally herself and won't change anytime soon. She says she meant what she said when she wanted someone with a similar path to her. She says Luck is a getting a title shot, but not her title. She says the era of Champ Choo is just beginning.

Cappuccino Jones talks to Romeo Moreno and Chazz Hall in the back. Romeo says he was feeling good. Hall says he would have gotten starstruck if they fight. Cap says he's sick of people thinking they can do anything they want here. Hall says ID 2.0 is making the new guys look bad. Cap says they need to get the up on them before they get the up on us. Cap says if he will see about getting a 6-man tag.

Aaron Rourke talks before the next match. He says he's not afraid of this atmosphere. He says he thrives in pressure and says all eyes will be on him. He says it's time he steals the spotlight.

AR hits corner attacks on both opponents. AR backcrackers Cole. Lewis is hurricanrana'd off the buckles. AR diving codebreakers Cole for 2. Lewis and AR are on the buckles. Brooks Jensen is watching in the front row. We get a tower of doom with AR going down.

AR topes Cole. AR molly go round's Cole and pins him.

Thoughts: I'm not surprised that AR won but I didn't want to see it. AR is not the longterm plan and this would have been a great way to end that reign. It wasn't great or anything but they didn't botch and it was an acceptable main. Lewis losing hurts what he's doing though. Jensen/Rourke seems like the next title match.

Jensen has words for AR after. Kam Hendrix and Harley Riggins go to get in the ring and the show ends before we see anything more.

Overall thoughts: Tyra Mae Steele had her best match yet with Kali Armstrong, who is leaving Evolve. Tyra just got fired, so she's leaving Evolve too. We never got Moreno/Hall. It's GAL seems to be changing his character up. The women's tag was acceptable but I didn't like the new girls losing. The main was disappointing as Rourke won and Lewis lost when he shouldn't have. We kind of left the show on a cliffhanger as Kam and Riggins were seemingly going to attack Rourke, but the show cut off as they got in. I'd give it a 5 out of 10. The matches were acceptable overall but the firings and the bookings didn't help things out here. It was average. 

AEW Dynamite 4/29/2026

Thoughts: That was a surprising ending. It was a good match here with KK getting his knee worked on and outsmarting MJF in the end to win. KK did his flying as usual and MJF was happy to be the heel here.

MJF clips KK after. Darby Allin repels from the ceiling ala Sting then scorpion death drop's MJF.

MJF grabs a mic and says two low life cheaters are getting along. MJF says he doesn't care bout Kevin and says he was barely trying. He says the only thing he cares about is the AEW World Title. He tells Darby to give him his rematch. Darby says "no". He says he won't give him a rematch until he puts something on the line. He says if he survives Brody King, he knows someone who deserves a shot next week and it's Kevin Knight.

Brody King then comes out and gets in MJF's face. King tells Darby he won't survive tonight and says Kevin will be facing the new AEW champ and not Darby Allin.

Thoughts: It was a short one with the jobbers getting nothing in and EJ maybe taking one move total.

SB says getting misted was the best thing that happened to her and it may be the best for Persephone too. Thek tells Jamie to stick with her tag team as she's #1 as a singles wrestler and Jamie is nothing.

AEW International Title - Kazuchika Okada (c) vs Ace Austin

Thoughts: It was a good bout here. KO hit a nice dropkicks off a helicopter kick attempt. There wasn't a great story or anything but it got enough time and it was a new match we hadn't really seen before.

Konosuke Takeshita comes on the stage and motions that he will be International Champ.

We get another Bandido vignette in a wild west area. Swerve Strickland picks up Bandido wanted poster and lights it on fire. He seems to have blooded and beaten up someone there.

We see The Death Riders training. Will Ospreay walks in. Mox asks if he got cleared. Will says no but it won't stop him from going to Japan. He says he needs to be there for his boys. Mox tells him to drop everything. He tells him to drop the baggage and the feelings for him. He says when he makes a commitment, he sees it through until the end. Will says OK. Will and Pac stare at each other. Will asks where the ring is. Mox says they don't use a ring and will start from the ground up.

Thoughts: This is interesting and I want to see how this plays out.

Cope fights off the heels and takes a double jumping knee. Cage hits Trent, which makes Cope code red Trent. RR springboards and Cage hits him. Cope misses a spear and Trent gets caught trying to pin him with his feet on the ropes. Cope pops up TB into a spear and pins him.

Thoughts: It was alright. The heels worked over the faces in the 2nd half and the faces came back and won. The faces weren't losing here and the only question was how they would win. We also had some brawling between FTR and The Conglomeration during this.

Cage gives Cope a bar from a chair. Cope crossfaces Trent with it. Cage makes Trent say, "I Quit" to get out of the hold. Cage then calls him a little b!tch. Cage then holds up FTR's tag titles and Cope puts a popcorn bucket on his head.

The Opps are interviewed. Joe says they intend to reassert their dominance. Joe says they will do it with men like Shibata, Bowens and Hook. He says they plan on strategic acquisition. He says he hopes Ospreay doesn't have Stockholm Syndrome. He says The Death Riders have him in the same position they once had and The Opps saved him. Joe asks if he wants a relationship of convenience or confidence and the choice is his. 

FTR and Big Stoke do a promo. Stoke says OC should face Dax next week and if he wins, he and a partner can face FTR for the tag titles. Stoke says if they win, they can challenge for the trios titles. Stoke says their partner will be Tomasso Ciampa. Ciampa comes in and waves. Ciampa says he put Mark Briscoe on the shelf last time they teamed up and they will take the trios titles now. Ciampa then eats something off of Stoke's beard and says delicious.

Thoughts: Darby won as expected. He took a whooping as usual and King took his fair share of licks too. They overdid it a bit though it wasn't as bad as some of Darby's other matches. It was a good main.

Overall thoughts: The show was very focused on the in-ring wrestling as often is the case with AEW. A lot of people didn't get a lot of time on this one and the women were limited to one match as usual. The wrestling was good and everything got enough time to play out. Things were a bit weak storyline though. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and thought it was a good show. 

CMLL 4/27/2026 Arena Puebla

Alex is stacked onto Mill. Troy and SD tie up their arms and legs, roll backwards and do a double submission on them. Alexius' team submits and Troyano's team wins.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. Alex is agile but he's still green and doesn't know when to do his stuff. The others didn't impress here. Troyano had some sloppy moments here too.

Ke takes a double team shot to start and goes out. Cham armdrags Ten twice then pulls at his mask. Ten and Ke mat wrestle then both try pins. They armdrag each other and Ke hits a spinning reverse headscissors from the mat.

Ten double underhook drops Ke for 2. Ke stunners him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was about the usual quality of these micro matches. They can only move so well due to their size. KeMalito was double teamed early on then the heels fought each other some after. KeMalito picked up the pin as he usually does. It ran a bit long for my liking and was just so-so.

Aud enzugiri's him from the apron. Aud then misses a fosbury flop from the ramp into the ring. Fel rolls him up for 2. Fel armdrags him and la magistral's him for the win.

Thoughts: It wasn't really their best effort here. They didn't do much in the first half of the match and just didn't have much of a flow going. There wasn't much going on between the various spots.

India Sioux and Kira vs Lady Frost and Shotzi

This one is kind of funny as Lady Frost has now appeared as an ROH wrestler and now an MLW wrestler in CMLL in the last year.

Lady corner spears both opponents at once then Shotzi corner splashes both at once. India dropkicks Shotzi. Kira springboard tornillo's Lady and pins her. Kira's team wins.

Thoughts: It started out okay then Kira pretty much fell apart at the end with multiple botches. It just got slightly worse the longer it went on. India held up well here though.

Star Jr. and Xelhua vs Kushida and Yutani

Kush and Xel start us off. Kush trips him and grabs his leg. They roll a bit and get up. They go back on the mat. Xel trips him and ties him up but Yut breaks it up. Xel puts one arm behind Kush's head and then lifts him with the legs. Yut break it up and Star chases Yut to the ramp.

Star boots Yut out then Kush back body drops him int oa plancha on Yut outside.

Xel euros Kush over then Kush rolls him. Xel is supposed to hit the ref on the ropes but misses. Kush unmasks Xel and hammerlock pins him to win.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. It was very one-sided with the heels being on offense forever and the faces not getting much in. The faces never got their big comeback here and Kush cheated to win.  

Xel gets on the mic after and challenges Kush to a singles match next week. Kush agrees.

Thoughts: It was about average. It got a lot of time and it really took a while before the faces could make their comeback. It just wasn't competitive enough and they didn't get a good run going here. I don't know why they have Sob lose so much when he's over so big with the girls. 

The announcer then talks to close the sow. 

Overall thoughts: It was a bit of a longer event. Nothing was that great here either which didn't help things. I felt like everything got more time than it needed here and it was generally a lower paced show. There was no match of the night in my opinion and the show was below average. I'd give this a 4 out of 10.

Thoughts: There was no match here, just an angle to set up another match. I'm guessing Skyler took out Sol's arm.

Jeet and Bobby B talk. Raj The Maharaja comes in. He says he's cleared and says to put him in a match. Bobby and Jeet say Raj isn't cleared yet. Raj asks what he should do. Jeet tells him to get better and says he will put him in a title match then. Raj leaves and Bobby says it went amazing.

Thoughts: It was a fun and wild tag match. It was pretty much an 8-man brawl all the way through but it worked. The faces flew and the heels did what they were supposed to do.

The faces celebrate in the crowd after.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual fun WXM show. It's easy to watch and it's simple pro wrestling with clear faces and heels. Maybe they don't have any huge names, but the Indian wrestlers can go and the foreign wrestlers are good as well. Suicida/Skyler never got started. The women's trios match was fine as was Dijak/Jokkan. Katherine squashed Shakti then got squashed by Kanji. Neel/Damo had a good heavyweight match and then we had a fun main. I'd give this an easy 6 out of 10 and would recommend it.
