Thoughts: It was an alright tag here. They didn't really blow anything, they kept it moving and it went about the right amount of time. I don't like the heels losing since they are most established but I suppose Jamie and Alex didn't need to lose either.  

Darby Allin comes out. He says MJF is scared and says he knows he's willing to die for the title. Darby tells him to get out here. The Don Callis Family comes out instead.

Thoughts: It was alright. Mike did the kicks and high flying. MJF did cheaper tactics for the most part. MJF picked up the win as expected.   

MJF pounds on him after and Kenny Omega comes in to stop it. 

Overall thoughts: It was a heavy wrestling edition of Dynamite as usual. There wasn't a ton going on storyline wise and with only 11 days until the next PPV, we only know of 4 matches. That's not good. The show was good wrestling wise with all 4 matches getting a thumbs up from me. We also got the return of Chris Jericho, though that personally does not interest me. I'd give the show a 6 out of 10 and thought it was a good show overall. I was also happy this didn't go too far over it's allotted time.

WWE Evolve 4/1/2026

WWE Evolve 4/1/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/wwe-evolve-3252026.html

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

He says he's holding this title due to WWE ID. He says 3 new WWE ID prospects will make their debut. He says the winner of that match gets to face him in a title shot.

It's GAL comes out. He says a bunch of new dummies are making their debuts but they could be studs. He says they will learn there is only one stud on this brand and It's GAL.

Thoughts: It was a decent debut for Dux here. He was made to look good here and he did with his flying and power. His problem has always been that he overdoes it and is kind of a spot monkey but if WWE can slow him down, I think he will do well here.

We are told Tristan Angels will fight Romeo Moreno next week.

Zena Sterling begs Timothy Thatcher in the back for a shot in the championship eliminator gauntler tonight. TT says she needs to pick up more wins to get in. Zena gets mad and throws a chair down when TT leaves.

Thoughts: It the Starboy show here. He got to do the big spots and got a lot of chances to shine. He did well here and hit all of his stuff clean. These guys did the best they could with the situation. Rivera stuck out the least. CJ's going to be a power guy, but he's small compared to people like Harlem Lewis and I don't know if it's going to work. I can't say I see any of these guys being a huge star though. The match was alright and they got a lot of time to work with.

Starboy is interviewed after. He says it was a surprise to him. He says he'll be fighting for a WWE title and thanks everyone who supported him. He thanks Aaron Rourke for the shot and says he better watch out.  

Tate Wilder is looking for Harley Riggins and Kam Hendrix. Luca Crusifino is hanging out and is looking for Tate. Tate asks what happened to him. Luca says he's on a journey of self-reflection. He says he will never figure it out if he keeps chasing them in a 2v1 right. Luca says him and Tate should team up in a tag match and tells him to picture them cruising to a win. Tate says he will take any partner he can get.

We get a video on Mike Cunningham. He says somebody's gotta do it and that's him. He says you can own any room but his and that's Main Man Energy. He says he wouldn't want to stand next to him either and that's Main Man Energy. He says he's been swinging in and out of the ring and says that's Main Man Energy.

Thoughts: It was a very action packed match with tons of fast paced action here. This was not one of those multi-person matches with only 2 people in the ring at once though we did get that at some points. There was a lot going on here and they did fine with this. PJ or Kali winning were the best options here as they needed the win most. It was weird for them to do this match here since all 5 girls will be facing each other again next week. That one definitely took me a bit to figure out as it was confusing.

Overall thoughts: It was a very newsworthy Evolve with 4 new in-ring debuts and more coming next week. This show is all about finding new talent and they did what they were supposed to do here. The bad news about all the new talent though is that people will have to get cut to make room for them and we will have to see who survives. I liked the opener. Dux looked good and if they can just keep him under control in the ring, he should do fine. We got a longer 3-way with 3 new debuts here. Starboy got over and picked up the win. The match was fine and we will see where things go. The main was a very fast paced match with action constantly happening and multiple people in the ring at the same time. I liked it but I don't know if I really got the need for this since the same wrestlers will battle each other next week. I'd give this show a 6 out of 10. It was a good show with a lot happening.

Thoughts: I liked it. It was a better version of Maki/Kikyo. Fuwa's a real prospect. She knows how to sell and she has a lot of fire to her. This should not have been as good as it was at times. I liked this.

The girls talk to each other on the mic after then walk out together to close the show.

Overall thoughts: Fuwa/Anou was easily the match of the night here. Fuwa can't do a ton, but she's got the basics down and is probably a better worker than half the roster. I liked Poi/Tabata as well. Rian got an upset win here and the main was okay enough. I'd give it a small 6 out of 10 and the show was okay overall.

He sits all about trust and communication in keeping up a successful relationship. Gia says it's a tag team situation. Bear says he's very lucky. He says they mostly talk during road trips and are not a couple that needs space from each other. He says it will be torture without her when she goes away for the next month.

Gia asks about him doing deathmatches. Bear says it's different from hardcore wrestling and says it's an acquired taste. He says it may not be wrestling but he loves it. He says he loves Mick Foley and says it's been a journey. He says deathmatch fans are his favorite and are just as crazy as he is. 

Myla Grace vs Mila Moore

Myla has Harley Hudson with her. Victoria Crawford is with MM.

MM offers a test of strength then slaps her. Myla takes her down by the wrist and wristlocks her. MM throws her down backwards. Myla armdrags her. Myla boots her out of the corner the running euros her. Myla dropkicks her through the ropes.

Myla is distracted by Crawford then MM hits her from behind. MM elbows her back and chinlocks her. Myla hits shots to the gut and MM backbreakers her. MM bends Myla over her knee backwards.

MM face shoves her. Myla hits some punches and forearms. MM forearms her back. Myla running lariats her. Myla double underhook twisting drops her for 2. Myla does a border city stretch. MM ropebreaks.

MM backdrops her. MM then hits a straightjacket twisting codebreaker on her and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a shorter bout and just average. There was nothing too special about this but nobody botched anything.

Overall thoughts: There was one new match and one new interview segment only along with some recaps and old matches. None of the new content was anything special and I wouldn't recommend this. 

WWE NXT 3/31/2026

WWE NXT 3/31/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/wwe-nxt-3242026.html

Thoughts: It was a fun tag with Santana coming well. OTM was pretty hyped up for this and they had an action packed match with some big bumps. I enjoyed this. 

We see a taped Myles Borne sit down interview. He says Ethan Page gave him an edge that made him champ and will keep him champ. He says it was hard to become champ and will be harder to stay champ. He says he's facing a Smackdown superstar in Johnny Gargano. He says he doesn't know what side of him will show up but he hopes it's Johnny Wresting.

Johnny Gargano comes in. He says he needs to be careful what he asks for. He says he used to be called Johnny Takerover. He says that guy is in him somewhere and if he finds him, he will eat him alive. He says it's not personal but Borne's N-A Title is. He says if he gets the title back, he will be the man he was meant to be. He say he will take him into deeper waters than he has ever been in. He says he won't lay down and die but will stand and deliver like only he can.  

Kendal Grey and Wren Sinclair talk. Wren hypes her up for tonight and tells her she's got this.

Shiloh Hill comes out with a chair and backs off King, Grace and Charlie Dempsey. Rayo flying shining wizards Stacks in the corner. Rayo top rope hurricanrana's Stacks and Bravo top rope splashes Stacks for 2. 

Stacks drops Bravo chest first on the mat. Stacks topes Rayo and nearly kills himself. UC swantons Bravo off the top for 2. El Grande Americano II gets on the apron. Bravo and Rayo load their masks up. Bravo flying headbutts UC and pins him.

Thoughts: It had a lot of action and was fast moving. Neither team really gained all that much here from winning but the bout was alright. Stacks nearly died on a tope here. Bravo dancing with Grace was funny.

We then see The Vanity Project point at Los Americanos from the stands. 

Darkstate are upset in the back. Dion's throwing a fit and says they are supposed to be at the top. Dion says they keep getting so close. He says they are the dangers in NXT, not anyone else. Shugars says when they strike, no one is safe. Dion says he will make sure of it. 

Jaida Parker vs Kelani Jordan

KJ's split-legged moonsault is stopped. JP 2nd rope german suplexes her and KJ barely makes it over. JP running hip attacks her then hits a sitout double chokeslam bomb to win.

Thoughts: I liked what we got here. They kept it brief and did a good job with what they did. Kelani barely made it over on the german suplex off the buckles and that move shouldn't have even been tried here.

The Vanity Project walk near Blake Monroe and says she's hot. Brad tells her to let them know if she needs them to watch their back. Blake says she will be fine. She says Tatum caught her by surprised last week but she's ready for her close-up.

Ricky Saints, Tony D'Angelo, Joe Hendry and Ethan Page are with Robert Stone in the ring for a Stand and Deliver contract signing. 

Stone talks about the 4-way they will be in. Page goes to sign the contract then Saints grabs it. Joe takes it from them as they argue. Joe says he can't wait to see which one of them stabs the other in the back first. Joe says their friendship will fall apart and says they are both desperate to be NXT champ again. Joe says he's passionate about NXT and becoming the NXT champ. Joe says he will use the passion to defend his title. 

Saints tells Joe to shut up and asks if he's Dr. Phil. Saints says him and Page want the same thing but it doesn't mean they can't support each other. Saints says he will make everything right in this world when he becomes a 2x NXT champ. 

Page says everything will be right in the world on Saturday. He said he wasted him time trying to become the greatest North American. He says he deserves global recognition and will be the one to become 2x NXT champ. Saints says he will be NXT champ.

Tony D'Angelo says all 3 of them had the title. He says Page lost it as quick as he won it. He says Saints is absolute - an absolutely underwhelming failure. Tony says he has no issues with Joe but this is about winning the biggest prize NXT has to offer. He says Joe is an outsider like them and he's NXT born and bred. He says he will run them over like a freight train.

Tony tells Stone to get out as he knows how these things go. They all start fighting. Saints and Joe get thrown through tables. Tony and Page fight as security breaks it up.  

Special Guest Ref - Josh Briggs: Keanu Carver vs Josh Briggs

This should be a bigger deal than what it is. I'm excited for it.

KC nails him as he gets on the apron. JT is sent into the post and steps. They each grab JT's chain. JT yanks him into a lariat and drops him chest first on the apron. JT corner splashes KC. KC headbutts and boots him in the head. KC then stomps on him in the corner. KC foot chokes him.

KC grabs a planted fan and tries to bring him into ringside. JT chokeslams KC through a table. JT black hole slams him or 2. JT pushes Briggs. Briggs facekicks him. KC pounces JT. KC powerslams JT and pins him.

Thoughts: It was short and explosive. I was hoping for more than we got but it was the destruction derby it was supposed to be. KC's slam on JT was impressive.

KC wants Briggs to raise his hand after. Briggs short arm lariats him. 

Sean Legacy, Eli Knight, Elio Lafluer, Hank and  Tank talk. Elio and Sean talk about their injuries and Elio says he is out 6 months. Elio says he has to relinquish the Speed Title and says a tournament for it starts next week. Wren Sinclair and Shiloh Hill talk in. Hill says he has an idea for stand and deliver.

Tatum Paxley talks. She says it felt good to grab Blake Monroe by her hair last week. She says Blake is a complex woman and it excites her. She told her she could bring title to her and tells her to come out and play.

Blake Monroe comes out. She says she has no issue with her. She says the title feels right and said she never lost it in the first place. She says she can't give the title back. Tatum says she has something she wants and says she has something Blake wants. Tatum says she has the opportunity to give Blake her first Stand and Deliver match. 

Tatum says Blake is different. She says wouldn't she hate it if she had to stay home and watch it. She says Blake is holding a title that doesn't belong to her. Blake says she accepts her offer. Blake says they are polar opposites. She says she's polished and says Tatum belongs in the crowd with the dirty New Yorker's.

Tatum tells her she's giving her the title back. She says she has a worse side to her when she gets mad than Blake does. She says she will give back what belongs to her. They tug on the title. Tatum drops her with a forearm and koppo kicks her. Blame runs away with the title.

Robert Stone is interviewed. He says on the Stand and Deliver pre-show, there will be a 10-person intergender tag. Keanu Carver comes in and says he wants Briggs. Stone says it'll be Briggs vs Carver vs Troy next week. We then see Kelani Jordan beating Jaida Parker up with a trash can.

We get a video on Zaria's and Sol Ruca's history.

Toxic Attraction talks. Jacy says her title always gets in the ways of friendships. Izzi Dame says she's not like Jacy's partners and makes it known what she wants.

#1 Contender to the NXT Women's Title - Lola Vice vs Kendal Grey

They lock up and Lola rolls her. KG waistlock takedowns her then Lola does the same. KG armdrags her twice. She goes for another and Lola side headlocks her. Lola side headlock takeovers her. KG headscissors her.

Lola side headlocks her and shoulders her over. Lola counters an armdrag with an armbar. KG is knee'd in the gut. Lola hits her in the gut. Lola seated springboard armdrags her then hits a kick combo.

Lola hits a corner hip attack. Lola spin kicks her in the gut. Lola then la silla's her off the apron outside. We go to PiP break and return.

KG back elbows her down a few times. KG germans her. KG pulls her straps down then exploders her twice. Lola pushes her off of her. KG rolling armbars her. Lola takes her down with a choke. Lola urakens her, knocking her out of the ring. Fatal Influence comes out and Lola argues with them. Another ref comes out.

Lola kicks KG and hip attacks the steps when KG moves. KG comes off the top and takes a spin kick to the gut for 2. KG spinning back elbows her for 2. Lola hits shots to the gut and KG hits shots. Lola kick combos her and KG ankle locks her. 

KG takes her down then Lola does a guillotine choke on her. KG northern lights suplexes her out of it and pins her with the hold still on. The other ref motions that KG tapped out. 

Thoughts: The finish was creative but stupid. KG had a 2 count and tapped out. The match was one of the better bouts for both girls. Lola and KG did a bunch of good amateur wrestling to start and the two meshed pretty well. They should probably run it back again as it helped both girls out.

Shawn Michaels comes out and everyone talks to him. The show goes off with us not know who won or who will go to Stand and Deliver.

Overall thoughts: They had a good crowd and they put on a good show here. All of the wrestling was good and it felt like almost like a PLE special. This was the wrong show to run before Stand and Deliver though as the focus was not as much on that as it should have. And this year's Stand and Deliver was poorly built up, meaning it needed all the help it could get. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 as it felt like a more special show than usual and all of the matches were hits.

NWA Powerrr 3/31/2026

NWA Powerrr 3/31/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/nwa-powerrr-3242026.html

Note - Contrary to what my reviews suggest, I really do like this promotion. They got a good commentary team, they've got a good roster and Billy Corgan does have an eye for scouting talent. But the booking is usually bad, the matches are never great (mostly because they don't get the time to be) and we get a lot of stuff with Dr. Vik/Bitcrush that never fits in. 

Joe Galli and Tim Storm welcome us to the show with The Slimeballz. All four will be doing commentary on today's show. 

Crockett Cup 2026 First Round Match - Pretty Boy Smooth and Hayden Backlund vs The Wrestling Machines (SLADE and Mike Mondo)

C-Lo is with PB and HB. Aron Stevens is with Slade and Mondo.

HB takes down Slade and is put in a side headlock. Slade shoulders him over. PB comes in and facekicks Slade. Mike boots PB in the gut then PB throws him. HB top rope elbow drops Mike's arm. Slade comes off the top and is hit in the gut by HB. HB sliding lariats Slade. 

HB boots Slade out of the corner but Mike pulls him crotch first into the post. HB takes a claymore kick + russian legsweep combo for 2. Mike knees HB in the gut and back elbows him.  

Slade euros HB down. Slade lariats him for 2. HB takes boots and a foot choke in the corner. Mike elbow drops HB for 2. Mike slams HB. Mike comes off the 2nd rope and is met with a boot. HB's tag is blocked and he rolls his opponents. PB gets in. PB shoulders over both opponents. PB then corner splashes them. PB slams and legdrops Slade for 2. PB hits a big lariat on Slade for 2. PB goes for a double chokeslam but is double eye raked.

HB superkicks Slade. PB throws HB into a cutter on Mike. Slade sends PB out. Slade does a grounded figure four and taps out HB.

Thoughts: It wasn't a great way to introduce Backlund since he took the fall and mostly got beaten up here. The match was fine and they kept thing moving.

Aron Stevens and The Federation of Champions talk. Mondo says what him and Slade say is what they do. He says they show up and get the job done. Mondo says there's a reason they are champs. Slade says Backlund and PB Smooth saw what happened when you face them. He says you will just tap. Carson Drake says the finals of The Crockett Cup will be The Drake's vs The Wrestling Machines. Aron says he will take all of them to the promised land. Tommy Rant says he wants to go and Aron asks why he's here. Aron says they are not in The Federation, only financially. They then kick them out.

Natalia Markova vs Herra

Herra dropkicks Nat as she poses. Herra corner splashes her and belly to belly suplexes her for 1. Herra clubs on Nat and Nat crossbodies her. Nat knees her in the gut then running back elbows her. Nat bulldogs her for 2. 

Herra boots her in the head and sentons her for 2. Herra twists Nat's head and stomps her. Herra hits corner lariats her for 2. Herra hits chops. Nat forearms her and high kicks her. Nat then facebusters her for 2. Herra throws her down and twisting splashes her.

Nat boots her out of the corner. Nat spinning heel kicks her in the corner and double arm ddt's her to win.

Thoughts: Nat won as expected here. It was the usual Markova match with there not being any great logic to it and with her moves not looking the best. I don't think Herra had lost yet in the NWA and this is a dumb way to have her drop her first fall.

TV-MA of Gretta, Tiffany Nieves and Ms. Starr talk. Tiff says being a TV champ doesn't get her a title shot. She says Markova is an idiot. She says her eyes are on her. Starr says TV-MA will face The Hex next week and asks if they are ready. Starr says they are always ready.

Crockett Cup 2026 First Round Match - The Southern Six (Kerry Morton and Alex Taylor) vs The Hardway (Dalton McKenzie and Jack Vaughn)

Danny Dealz is at the commentary table but Silas Mason kicks him out.

Jack and KM lock up. KM is pulled down. KM boots him in the gut and grabs his mustache. KM crossbodies Jack but just goes down. Jack back body drops him. AT comes in and is facekicked. Jack side slams Alex. DM chops AT down then hits a big pounce.

DM gorilla press slams KM. DM clubs on KM on the apron. Jack legdrops KM. Jack misses a flying kick, gets crotched and AT shakes the ropes on him. AT stomps and foot chokes Jack. Jack takes a double slingshot suplex. 

KM hits mounted punches on Jack. AT foot chokes Jack and eye rakes him. Jack hits a double ddt on the heels. DM comes in and rams KM in the corner. DM corner splashes AT then hits a big dropkick on him. KM boots DM out of the corner. AT dropkicks DM. DM takes a flying knee + drop from AT's shoulders and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was a little hard to buy DM getting beaten here due to the size differences. The Six won as expected. What we got was fine. Dalton continues to impress as a powerhouse. 

Natalia Markova does a promo. She says Liviyah was treated poorly in her first NWA match. She says she will grant her a title shot next week so she can make a better first impression.

Dr. Vik's Abode

They are having a birthday party for Tiffany Nieves. Tiff is impressed. The lawyer talks to Thom Lattimer and Colby Corino. Kylie Paige comes in and has some backhanded comments for Tiff. Aron Stevens and Carson Drake come in. Drake says he forgot her gift. 

Tiff gets mad as she thought this party would be filled with A-listers and she complains to Vik.

Daisy Kill is interviewed in the ring. Kill complains that Kyle didn't say his name right. He says he beat Hunter Drake last time and he says he's gone for good. He says he beat Lev and Lev is gone too. He says Eric Smalls then came in and hit him in the balls. Kill says he wants Smalls to come out now for a rematch.

Eric Smalls comes out with a ref.

Dr. Vik's Abode

The whole NWA roster is there now. Vik talks to Bryan Idol and Ms. Starr. He says he's got something that will change Tiff's advice. Vik seems like he wants to propose and I think Ms. Starr tells her no. Tiff comes in as Vik talks about how close their bond is getting. The Slimeballz come in and have a squeaky dog toy for Tiff and a mop of some sort.

Daisy Kill vs Eric Smalls

DK gets down on his knees and tries to do some amateur wrestling. He gets back up and challenges Eric to a test of strength. DK turns around and Eric hits an AA. Eric dropkicks him in the knee then step up enzugiri's him. DK bends down and lariats Eric.

Eric's head is banged off the 2nd buckle. DK goes to whip Eric with a belt. The ref isn't looking and Eric punches him in the crotch. Eric then rolls up DK.

Thoughts: I like Daisy and I don't like seeing him lose to midget wrestlers. I'm sure it won't matter or even be remembered within a month, but I don't really see the benefits of this for him.

Eric ties Daisy's shoes together after. 

The Hex do a promo. Kay says Tiff is cycling through different partners. Marti says people don't want to be around Tiff. Marti says they have to be cautious of Gretta. Kay says Gretta is a green and an angry green giant. She then makes a Jolly Green Giant joke.

Dr. Vik's Abode

Tiff has Vik blow out the candles on her birthday cupcakes. Tiff thanks everyone here including herself. She says he had a bueno year. She says this year will be different and will be part of the .00001 kind of different. She says she won't just hold the TV Title this year, she will also become NWA Women's champ. 

Vik interrupts. He says it's time they can get to the next step and can change their lives together. He then proposes to her. Tiff immediately says no and says he's not man enough for her. Tiff slaps him and walks away with the ring anyway.

The Cazana's ask what they just witnessed. KC gets a laugh out of it. Joe says when he proposed to their mom, she didn't say no, but she said yes twice. KC then complains about that joke. 

Thoughts: One would think this would be the end of Vik trying to get with Tiff, but I don't know at this point. The problem with this whole thing is that it doesn't really translate to anything wrestling wise and it's hard to understand why they keep showing these segments if it has no correlation to wrestling. Maybe this is the starting point and Vik becomes some evil heel manager...and maybe we get another year worth of segments that have nothing to do with anything. 

Kenzie Paige vs Sirena Veil

Kenzie Paige has Tommy Henry with her. Ken has a new fake leather belly shirt and fake leather pants.

SV armdrags her off the lock up. Ken rolling spears her for 2. SV rolls her up and they trade cradles. They shove each other and Ken shoulders her over. Ken flying headscissors her. Ken running back elbows her. Ken basement dropkicks her for 2. 

SV tries to flip in the corner but falls and Ken stomps her. SV hits kneelifts on her over the 2nd rope. SV sentons her or 2. SV hits kicks and Ken drops her with a forearm. SV hits a high chest kick and they knock each other down. 

They trade shots. Ken headbutts her then hits lariats. Ken dropkicks her off the apron. Ken double stomps her on the apron for 2.

SV high kicks her. SV legslice reverse ddt's her for 2. Ken running facekicks her. SV triangles her. Ken rope breaks and SV won't let it go. Tommy Henry tries to make her break it. Haley J comes down and slaps Tommy. 

Thoughts: I'm assuming Kenzie won via DQ here but they didn't tell us that. They gambled on Veil here and the gamble didn't pay off. The match was slow, the crowd was dead for it and neither came out of this one looking good. I wouldn't give up on Veil or anything but a main event match may be a little above her abilities right now.

Overall thoughts: It was your usual eh NWA Powerrr episode. There was nothing must see here. We had multiple questionable decisions like usual including Herra, Daisy Kill and Hayden Backlund losing. Danny Dealz must have been sick as he wasn't on commentary during this much at all. We got multiple Dr. Vik segments that continue to not really be relevant to anything. The main didn't work at all as Veil didn't have a good night and her match with Kenzie was bad. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it. 

Reality of Wrestling 3/22/2026 GLORY Episode 21

Reality of Wrestling 3/22/2026 GLORY Episode 21

The last show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/reality-of-wrestling-382026-platinum.html

Clay Roberts does a promo. He said he lost 3x straight against WWE ID talent. He says he faces another WWE ID talent tonight. He says he spent all of his money for seminars and tryouts when he should have spent the money on fake teeth and pullaway pants like Mike Cunningham. He says his boots have had more experience than Mike has. He says he is one of the best if not the best wrestler on earth.

Clay Roberts vs Mike Cunningham

CR shoulders him over. Mike side headlocks him then shoulders him over. Mike dances and CR shoulders him. CR wristlocks him and Mike side headlocks him. CR side headlock takeovers him and Mike headscissors him. Mike hits a nice dropkick. 

CR superkicks him in the knee and clubs his back. Mike chops him in the corner. CR boots him then Mike flying back elbows him for 2. Mike thrusts while doing a delayed suplex for 2. CR boots him out of the corner. Mike is put in tree of woe and CR boots him there. 

CR armlocks him. Mike hits shots to the gut and head. Mike hits some punches then does a spinning forearm. Mike hits a hard flying lariat. CR cradles him for 2. CR misses a leg lariat and Mike pumping knees him. Mike top rope crossbodies him but CR rolls through and pins him with his feet on the ropes.

Thoughts: What we got was fine here. It was good to see an ROW guy get a win over a WWE ID guy, even if it was through dirty means. Mike's gotta drop the stripper stuff. He's a total face and he's just going to get booed if he does that stuff. Mike hit a nice dropkick here and some decent punches. 

Gustavo Mendoza comes out. He congratulates Clay for his win. He says the decision is final and can't be reversed. He says he will sign a rematch between them at Glory 10.

House Money comes out. AJ Francis introduces his crew. AJ said he moved to Texas and says he can afford to own property unlike the fans. He says he bought a Houston Astros World Series ring from a player who was late on his payments. AJ says he's a real Texas through and through. He says there's a new sheriff in town and he wants to do something that hasn't been done. He says he signed Josiah Jean. He says everything that belongs to Jean, belongs to him. He says he's now the Battle of the Bell winner (Jean won a Battle of the Bell ladder match). 

Jean isn't happy with this. AJ says he will remind him of how he won that and then we see clips of AJ helping Jean win the ladder match. AJ tells Jean that he should give that to him as he'd never have it without him. He says he made him a somebody and tells him to do the right thing.

Jean says he needs to think about it. AJ tells him to think about how if it wasn't for him, he'd be a nobody. Quentin Wynters and Tianna Slay talk to Jean. Wynters grabs the hammer Jean is holding and gives it to AJ (I think that's the trophy for Battle of the Bell). AJ says that's why the house always wins.

Daniel Alexandro (yes, that's the correct spelling) is interviewed. He says it's been a long time coming. He says he didn't come all this way to do a training session. He says he didn't come to take part but to take over. He says he's the hottest ese, the realest as it gets and the last of a dying breed. 

Chandler Hopkins is interviewed in the parking area. He says WWE ID has recognized how good he is and he gets to fight the WWE ID champ. He says he hopes Cappuccino Jones has had a few expresso's as tonight won't be a cakewalk.

Erik Lockhart vs Daniel Alexandro

DA wristlocks him. Erik rolls through and trips him. Erik wristlocks him then takes him down by the wrist. DA side headlocks him then pulls him by the hair. Erik then pulls him by the hair. DA's head is banged off the buckles. Erik corner spears him. Erik trips him on the apron.

DA slingshot sunset flips him but Erik rolls through and running knees him. Erik misses a corner charge and running back elbows him. Erik is swept up top and goes down hard. Erik is then sent hard into the buckles. DA stomps and boots him. 

Erik is thrown chest first into the buckles and DA waistlocks him. DA euros him then full nelson slams him for 2. DA hits mounted punches and chokes him. Erik punches him. Erik is thrown to the apron, slides under the bottom rope and jumping flatliners him.

Erik hits forearms then neckbreakers him. Erik armdrags him. Erik boots him in the face on the ropes and pins him.

Thoughts: Daniel had a good night here. Erik didn't have the smoothest night as some of his shots could have been a little better but this was acceptable. I wouldn't be shocked to see Daniel around here again as he can move, seems comfortable on the mic and seems to be a decent prospect. 

WWE ID Title - Cappuccino Jones vs Chandler Hopkins

They trade waistlocks and Chan shoulders him over. Chan teases a punch and Cap flinches. Cap trips him while in front of him and then he dances. Chan side headlocks him then flying headscissors him out. Chan then hits a nice tope that almost sends Cap to the back.

Chan chinlocks him and Cap waistlocks him. Cap hits some punches and spinning back elbows him. Chan facekicks him. Cap dropkicks him then elbow drops him for 2. Chan hits corner spears. Cap hits some shots in the corner. Chan goes for a tope outside and Cap hits him. Cap misses a top rope froggy bow. 

Chan rolls him up for 2. Cap does a jack knife pin for 2. Cap blocks a sunset flip and pins Chan.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. There was nothing wrong with it but didn't get a ton of time. Cap kind of won quickly and suddenly here. Cap was the favorite going in and pulled the win off. 

Cap offers a handshake after. Chan gets up in his face. Chan shoves him but shakes his hand. 

Overall thoughts: All 3 matches were fine here but there was nothing must see. It was the usual solid ROW show. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and thought it was okay.
