NWA Powerrr 3/10/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/nwa-powerrr-332026.html

We get dueling promos from Latimer/Idol and Morton/Silas. 

Kyle Davis interviews The Southern Six in the ring. Silas says Bryan Idol has a death wish to want to face him in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Silas says no one wants to see that. He says people want to see something more hardcore - a match with normal rules where throwing someone over the top is a DQ.

Dr. Vik's Abode

Vik talks to Tiffany Nieves. They are outside and he says they have heat together. He says they are almost there and says she has to be able to feel this. Vik asks if there's doubt. Vik tries to kiss her and is slapped. Tiff says he's delusional and says she would never kiss a man like him. She says she thought he cared about her. She says she will learn like the rest of them.

Aron Stevens and Mike Mondo do a promo. Mike says Blake Troop is making his return to the NWA and made the biggest mistake of his life. He says he's kicking @ss and taking names. He says he shows no mercy and has no fear. He says Troop will find out it's Mondo Time and Gut Check Time. 

NWA Women's Tag Titles - The Mex (Marti Belle and Allysin Kay)   (c) vs Sirena Veil and Vipress

All four fight as it starts. Kay hits Vip and Vip ties her hair up. Vip dropkicks her and whips SV in for a corner cannonball. Veil low diving lariats Kay and Vip slingshot swantons Kay. SV euros and legsweeps Kay. She then sentons her. SV leg slice reverse ddt's her. 

Vip sunset flips AK for 2. SV 2nd rope leg lariats Kay. Vip corner death valley drivers Kay for 2. Kay hits Vip on the buckles. Vip slides down and sitout powerbombs her for 2. Vip piefaces Kay then forearms her. Kay lariats her.

MB and SV tag in. MB hits lariats on her then forearms her. MB step up knees her in the corner then running hip attacks her in the corner. SV high kicks her. MB back body drops Vip. Kay throws SV out. Vip takes a running knee + dominator and is pinned.

Thoughts: The crowd wasn't into this at all. It wasn't even due to the work, they just were either too tired out or didn't want to see it and there was nothing that could be done to fix it. It was a fast paced bout and the girls never stopped moving here. I was fine with it.

Dr. Vik does a video. He says we all make mistakes in life. He says he has written books on mistakes. He says he overstepped his boundaries with Tiff Nieves. He says he has to prove he's a man by stepping in the ring. He says he's not a wrestler but this is the chance for a new challenge. He says he will grab the bull by the horns and prove he is more than just a man.

NWA National Title - Mike Mondo (c) vs Blake Troop

BT's back is bleeding from the start. Mike side headlocks him and shoves him from behind. BT takes him down. Mike waistlock takedowns him. BT side headlocks him then hiptosses him. BT armbars him. BT hits knees to the gut of Mike.

Mike knees him from behind then clubs on BT on the ropes. Mike flying kicks him for 1. Mike chinlocks him. BT hits shots to the gut and Mike rolling snapmares him. Mike snapmare drivers him then does a choke. They trade shots. BT knees him in the gut and kicks him in the back. 

BT northern lights bombs him for 2. Mike back elbows him out of the corner. BT is crotched on the top and Mike shakes him off. Mike fireman's carry gutbusters him and wins.

Thoughts: It was a random one and Mike won here as expected. It was just an average match for the most part and didn't stand out that much.

Kyle Davis is in the ring with Dr. Vik, The Hardway, Carson Drake, Devastation Reborn, The Slimeballz and Aron Stevens. Vik says he's a multi-millionaire, a best selling author, a doctor of psychology and a lover. Vik says he's not a fighter. Aron says to stand up for Carson Drake. Drake says he read Vik's books and it's a shame they weren't written in braille so he could feel something from them. Drake says they can do things the easy way but The Hard Way does things the hard way.

Carson Drake and The Hard Way (Dalton McKenzie and Jack Vaughn) vs Dr. Vik and Devastation Reborn (AJ Farat and Frank Stone)

We haven't seen Devsastation before. They wear Middle Eastern head covers. Greta comes out to watch.

Dalon and Stone go at it. Stone side headlocks him. They shoulder battle and Vik wants in. Vik offers a handshake. DM shakes his hand and Vik boots him. Vik is backed up in the corner and asks for a tag.

DM shoves Stone and is hit. Stone side headlocks him then DM sends him flying on a shoulderblock. Stone takes a corner splash. Jack corner splashes Stone. DM headbutts Stone then JAck corner splases Stone. DM corner spears Stone. Jack side slams Stone and poses. Jack then walks on Stone.

Drake chops Stone in the corner. Stone no sells it then rams Drake in the corner. Stone hits chops on Drake. Drake takes an atomic drop into another atomic drop. AJ running lariats Drake. Vik tags back in while Drake is down. Vik offers a handshake again then double throat thrusts him. 

Vik turn around and is hit. Both tag out. AJ hits Jack and DM. AJ slams Jack. AJ overhead belly to belly suplexes them both. Drake comes off the 2nd rope and is hit in the gut. Stone and AJ are looking to finish and Vik asks to be tagged in. Drake sleepers Vik and Vik taps out immediately.

Thoughts: It went as it should have with Vik being a non-wrestler and having no chance against the other guys. Devastation Reborn looked tough and were fine in their debut here. There wasn't a lot to this except for Vik making bad calls and paying for it. It was nice to get some kind of payoff wrestling wise to the months of Dr. Vik's segments, but this was definitely not worth sitting through all of that.

Bitcrush

Mel talks to Tommy Henry. The Paige Sisters and The Slimeballz are in the store. Tommy says the money is real (I think he means the inheritance money that turned out to be a fraud) and says you can't believe anything that Joe Cazana says. The Paige Sisters say they will get the money. The Slimes talk to Tommy and ask when they will get the money. The Slimes say they want to buy the game store and say Mel can work with them. Rant wants some game that they are out of.

Kyle Davis talks to Daisy Kill in the ring. DK tells Kyle the correct way to say his name. He says he's here for a good time. He says Tampa gets to see him but he has to see them. He says Kerry Morton is a cheat. He says we need accountability in the company. DK says there will be another open challenge on his reign of terror tonight.

Daisy Kill's Reign of Terror Open Challenge - Daisy Kill vs Hunter

They trade waistlocks. DK waistlock takedowns him then clubs on his back. DK then pounds on him in the corner. DK side slams Hunt for 2. Hunt hits shots to the gut. Hunt spinning forearms him. DK powerslams him for 2.

Hunt hits kicks to the body and pulls DK over the top. Hunt tope con hilos him outside. Hunt springboards and is superkicked. DK pins him.

Thoughts: It was a short bout with DK winning without too much trouble. Hunt kind of got squashed here.

Daisy Kill's Reign of Terror Open Challenge - Daisy Kill vs Lev

Lev runs out as the last match ends and we have an impromptu match. Lev running STO's him for 2. Lev pounds on him. Lev rolls him up for 2 and spinning forearms him. Lev hits a high angle double underhook ddt for 2. 

Lev misses a top rope dropkick. Gaagz the Gymp comes in, goes after DK is and sent into the buckles.

Thoughts: I'm not sure what the result of this was. Lev should have been DQ'd for his partner interfering but they never announced that. The announcers said Daisy won though.

Eric Smalls comes out.

Daisy Kill's Reign of Terror Open Challenge - Daisy Kill vs Eric Smalls

Gaagz tries to get in and Smalls low blows DK. Smalls rolls up DK and pins him.

Thoughts: It was just a quickie with Smalls cheating to win. This didn't really work.

Bitcrush 

Tommy Henry argues with Mel about the inheritance money. Joe Cazana's lawyer comes in. Tommy threatens him and asks if the lawyer knew Joe Cazana was behind the fake inheritance money. The lawyer says he was paid to do what Joe said and had no idea about the manipulation. Tommy says he's lying and says the money is there. Tommy says they will get the money.

Thom Latimer and Bryan Idol vs The Southern Six (Silas Mason and Kerry Morton)

Idol or Silas get to pick the stipulation for their match if they win.

SM teases going at it with Thom but tags in Kerry instead.

Thom blocks Kerry's shots. Thom grabs him by the tights. Thom back body drops him then hiptosses him. Thom armdrags Kerry then bangs Kerry's arm off his shoulder. Idol fireman's carry takeovers Kerry. Thom 2nd rope double axe handles Kerry. 

Idol comes in and slingblades Kerry. He hits some punches and back elbows him. SM blind tags himself in then pulls Idol down by the hair. SM chokes Idol. Idol's head is banged off Kerry's foot. 

SM crabs Idol. KM top rope double axe handles Idol's arm. Silas hits him in the ribs. Silas blocks Idol's sunset flip. Silas is pulled over the top. Kerry comes off the top and runs into Thom's atomic drop. Thom corner lariats Kerry. Thom flatliners Silas. Thom ddt's him. Thom pop-up sitout powerbombs him. Kerry stomps on Thom then Idol hits shots on Kerry.

Silas and Kerry take stereo lariats over the top. They all fight outside. Kerry's head is banged off the buckles. Kerry pumping knees Silas then Idol moves. Idol superkicks Kerry and Thom pop-up sitout powerbombs Kerry to win.

Thoughts: It was a shorter bout as most NWA matches tend to be. It was just average without a lot of big highlights. It got pretty hectic towards the end with all 4 men fighting. Idol won and gets to pick the stipulation vs Silas in their match but I don't see Idol winning that bout.

Overall thoughts: It was your usual NWA Powerrr episode for the most part. The matches were kept short and none were that great because of it. We had some random stuff as always and some new debuts. We had a Dr. Vik segment that actually went somewhere for a change which was nice and we had more visits to Bitcrush. I'm not sure what went down in the Daisy Kill match series as we never got an official announcement on the result. We didn't get much follow-up from last week as there was nothing with Hera/Paige Sisters, Pope/Mims, Alex Taylor or The Country Gentlemen. I would give this a 5 out of 10 as it was average and there was really nothing that good here.

Reality of Wrestling 3/8/2026 PLATINUM Episode 24

Reality of Wrestling 3/8/2026 PLATINUM Episode 24

The last show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/reality-of-wrestling-2222026-platinum.html

Note - ROW Glory has only had one new show this year. ROW Platinum is a few episodes ahead of ROW Glory now. It could be unintentional but there were noticeably a lot more empty seats for some of the shows and they may have cut back because of it.

Danny Limelight talks about being in a movie with Gaspar Hernandez. He says the movie is about an underdog winning the gold and says that will never happen here with Zilla Fatu. He says Jessie Funaki also got put down on his back with like his dad did his entire career. Jessie Funaki is behind them and hears this. He says they talk a lot and Danny threatens to kick them out of here. Jesse says he worked hard to get here and won't let two bullies stop him from getting what he wants. Gas grabs and hits Jesse. Danny says Jesse won't let them do anything and says they do what they want around here. Danny says this is his house and tells Jesse to get him to the top since that's what he wants. Gas then lifts Jesse by the throat. Danny tells Jesse if he gets a partner, they will meet him in the ring tonight. He then foot chokes him. I think Blake Troop then helps Jesse up after.

ROW Tag Titles - The Command (Terrale Tempo and Big Luther) (c) vs The Dungeon Boys (Cam Fox & Baby Keef)

Luther gets big chants. The Dungeon Boys are named as such since they were trained in The Hart Dungeon. Keef has the green shorts on and Cam has the gray pants on. I believe The Boys are making their debut here.

Tempo blocks an armdrag and euros Cam over. Keef gets in and takes a jumping kick. Tempo hits the viralplex on Keef. Tempo teases tagging in Luther but doesn't. Luther doesn't look happy. Cam enzugiri's Tempo from the apron and Keef jumping ddt's Tempo. Tempo is double stomped on in the corner. Cam flying forearms Tempo and we get, "We Want Luther" chants". Tempo euros Cam over.

Cam la mistica drops Tempo then Keef top rope swantons Tempo for 2. Keef slaps Luther on the apron. Luther is tagged in. He shoulders over The Boys. Luther double splashes both in the corner then throws Cam across the ring. Luther flying corner lariats both. Luther pounces Cam then hits a huge spinebuster on Keef to big pops.

Luther hits a sky high on Keef as Tempo looks for a tag. Luther then pins Keef.

Thoughts: It was a quick squash here for the most part. Luther is the most over guy in the company next to Fatu and I don't know how much longer they are going to be able to keep him out of big singles programs. 

Brooke Havok is interviewed. She says she's a punk kid who likes to have fun. She says she doesn't know always where she is going or how she will get there. She says she knows she will become one of the best female wrestlers of her generation and part of that is winning the ROW Women's title here. She says every night is emo knight.

Jonathan Vega and maybe Ayden Cristiano talk. They say tonight is the night they get the belts. AJ Francis walks in. AJ says he's in the 6-way tonight and that's a 1 in 6 chance of winning. he says if he could guarantee him a ROW prospect match, it's 1v1. He says he will make sure it's worth his money and taps his wallet. AJ says it's a big opportunity for him and gives him a $1 dollar. Vega says he doesn't need it and AJ says accepting currency makes the contract final. AJ says he will replace him with Quentin Wynters.

ROW Women's Title - "Ladybird" Monica Monroe (c) vs Brooke Havok

They lock up and BH is put in some arm holds. MM fireman's carry takeovers her. BH goes up and over her, rolls over her and poses. BH boots MM away then MM poses after a backflip. MM headscissors her and dropkicks her out. MM is sent into the post outside. 

BH hits strikes on her then side slams her for 2. BH hits chops. MM sunset flips her for 2. BH hits a lariat. BH flying forearms her in the corner then swinging fisherman's neckbreakers her for 2. BH hits mounted shot. MM 2nd rope superplexes her. 

MM pump kicks her and kneelifts her. MM slingblades her. MM topes her outside. MM 2nd rope twisting blockbusters her for 2. BH pumphandle side slams her then low diving knees her for 2. MM superkicks her then cradle shocks her. MM top rope swantons her for the win.

Thoughts: It was a good bout action wise. Monroe was really on her game hitting all of her spots clean and putting them all together nicely. Brooke did well against her and the two clicked. This was one of Monroe's best outings.

Battle to the Bell Ladder Match - Rhys Maddox vs Erik Lockhart vs Will Austin vs Quentin Wynters vs Josiah Jean vs Matty Ice

They have a bell up in the air and you must ring it 3 times with a hammer to win. 4 of the 5 fight while RM and Erik go out for ladders. RM and Erik stomp on people. Ice nails Jean and the ladder is rammed into QW's gut in the corner. The ladder is then dropkicked into QW's gut. Ice is hit in the back with a ladder. Will tornillo's off a ladder onto Erik. Will and RM are pushed off a ladder by Jean.

Erik and Ice trade shots on the ladder. Both get off of it and trade more then both go down. RM's head is banged off the buckles. RM dropkicks QW onto a ladder. RM runs up a ladder on the ropes and plancha's onto wrestlers.  

RM's throat is pulled over the top rope and he falls outside. QW climbs a ladder and Erik hits him with one. QW hangs from the top and Erik knee drops him down. QW is sent into a ladder tied into the ropes. RM charges at him and goes into the ladder himself. Jean is suplexed on the floor. Will springboard cutters Erik while he's on a ladder.

Ice and QW trade. Ice uranage's him then Jean. Erik underhook suplexes Ice. Ice boots Erik out of the corner. One ladder is bridged to another. QW and Jean work together. Jean and Will climb a ladder. Erik does a skin the cat to get up to the bridged ladder. Erik is hanging from the top as the ladders get pulled out from underneath him. Erik then falls down onto the ladders.

Ice lariats RM. Ice climbs the ladder and rings the bell twice. Erik knocks him off the ladder then falls off the ladder crotch first onto another ladder. 4 men fight in the ring. Ice takes a double stun gun on the ropes. Will double os cutters Jean and QW.  Will climbs a ladder and them push him off of it through another table outside. 

A ladder is upside down and between the ropes on the apron. Erik is dropped gut first onto the bottom of it, which is about 7 feet up. Erik then lands on the ropes. Jean brings a table in. Ice counters a double team and hits shots on Jean and QW. Ice spinning side slams Jean then uranage's QW. Ice elbow drops QW. AJ Francis comes in and spears Ice through a table to help out QW and Jean.

AJ grabs a ladder, puts Jean on it and Jean rings the bell 3 times to win.

Thoughts: It was a good ladder match and quite the spectacle. Will Austin had a standout performance with some cool spots. Poor Erick Lockhart took some big time bumps here and really made this into something. They also did a good job of working the two teams (Erik/RM and QW/Jean) into this which added another twist to this bout. This worked out really well for an indy ladder match and was a lot of fun to watch. 

Danny Limelight and Gaspar Hernandez vs Jesse Funaki and Zilla Fatu

Fatu has put some muscle and meat on since we last saw him here.

Gas hits forearms on Fatu. Fatu hits shots to the gut. Gas boots Fatu out of the corner and Fatu headbutts him. Fatu chops him in the back. Gas hangs from the top rope and Fatu flying headbutts him. JF dropkicks Gas then hits some shots on him. JF basement dropkicks him for 1.

Thoughts: They only had about 10 minutes left for this so it was kind of obvious what it would be. Jesse was kind of the young lion here and took a whooping so Fatu could clean things up and get the comeback to win. It was fine but it was basically a house show style main to send the fans home happy.

Fatu picks up Danny's belt after then puts it between them. 

Overall thoughts: It was a good show. We had 4 matches here and all of them worked. The ladder match was naturally the best bout on this one while the women's match was the second best. I'd recommend checking out the ladder match here as they did a pretty good job with it and had some nice spots. I'd give this show an easy 7 out of 10 and would recommend it.

WWE Monday Night Raw 3/9/2026

WWE Monday Night Raw 3/9/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/wwe-monday-night-raw-322026.html

We are in Seattle, WA. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive.

Adam Pearce talks in the ring. He says he has unfortunate business to discuss with Seth Rollins. A bunch of people in hoods and masks come out. Seth then reveals himself. Adam says he doesn't like the vision but his job is to be the GM. He says what Seth is doing with the black masks if unacceptable. Adam says his drive by attacks have worked, but he just got injured 5 months ago and there may be a time when the attacks don't work. He says he's not cleared and The Vision may get their hands on him. He says it could be the worst case scenario if they catch him and it could be the end of Seth.

The Vision of Logan Paul and Austin Theory come out. Logan says the end of Seth is now as they will be the breaks off his masked minions. Austin says his masked idiots won't take his whooping and says to consider this the worst case scenario. Seth puts the mask and hood back on. The heels get on the ring and all the minions come in and mix it up. The masked men all leave and the heels don't know who is who.

LA Knight comes out. LA beats up Logan then Austin pounds on LA. LA punches Austin in the corner. LA is double teamed. The Uso's come out and fight The Vision. Logan is double superkicked and LA lariats Logan.  Austin then pulls Logan out.

Thoughts: Seth's bit with the masked men was a little goofy, but it's a unique way to evade the heels. It seems like Seth will be available for Mania which will help things out. 

The Uso's are interviewed in the back. Jey says they don't care about The Vison or Seth. Jimmy says they have receipts to hand out. Jey is asked about Punk's comments towards Roman. Jey says he has nothing to say and forget him. Jimmy says maybe they do have something to say.

Thoughts: It was a long bout and the crowd died out as it went on. Four of the five matches got time which was nice. Lyra/Iyo was the best bout of this and Ivy/Bayley was something different. It was alright overall. Asuka took a nasty tope elbow to the chin here. I was surprised to see Bayley win this and not Iyo.

Thoughts: The breaks hurt this some and it definitely slowed down a bit near the end. I was surprised to see Grande lose here and surprised to see him lose clean. This was fine.

Stephanie Vaquer does a promo. She says WWE signed Liv when she was 20. She says she had privilege and can see all she did. She says she has the tools to be great but doesn't use them. She says she has her friends help her win. Steph says the mud huts made her who she is. She says she was forged in hell while Liv was forged in experience. Steph says she sees more in her than Liv sees in herself. She says Liv sees herself as a cheap blonde and says she takes the easy way to win titles. She says she will use her blood and experience to make history at Mania.

Liv talks to JD and Raquel in the back. She gets mad at what Steph said. Dom comes in and asks if we saw Finn. Dom says he has to go to the ring and get something off his chest.

Dom, Liv and Raquel come out. Dom says he demands a rematch. He says Penta is walking around with his title. He brings up Finn and said he wanted to do this privately. Finn Balor and JD McDonaugh come out. 

Dom asks where Finn has been. He says he hopes Finn talked to Adam and got him a rematch. Finn says Dom is right, he'd be champ without Finn and he says he's sorry. Finn says he was trying to help and teach him a lesson. Finn says they are family and will always have his back. Finn says Dom has to learn to fight his own battles to be the greatest sometimes. 

Finn says he tried to help him and the more he helped him, the more he realized his dad is right. He says maybe Dom is just a spoiled little b!tch. Dom piefaces him. Finn pele kicks him. JD and the girls break it up. Finn slingblades Dom. Finn goes to john woo him and JD lariats Finn. Raquel and Liv hen pound on Finn and Finn takes a 4v1. 

Dom grabs a hammer. Finn fights JD then Dom hits Finn with the hammer. Dom puts the hammer in his shoe then 619's him. Dom then top rope frogsplahes Finn. JD chairs Finn in the gut. Dom frogsplashes a chair into Finn.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see Finn get turned on here. He's been with Judgment Day for so long. I do think the group needs to stay together as Raquel and JD will be in trouble without the group. It might be a good time to maybe bring Damian Priest back in the fold as his face run hasn't worked and he was much better off in Judgment Day. 

Adam Pearce puts over Je'Von Evans in the back and says 2026 will be big for him. Grayson Waller and Kofi Kingston come up to Evans. Waller yells at him and Kofi asks him to leave so he can talk to Evans. Kofi says they got off the wrong foot. Kofi says he reminds him of a young him. Kofi says Evans could be champ but he needs the right team around him. Kofi says he has dreams and doesn't have to do it alone. Asuka grabs Sane down the hall behind them.

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria are interviewed. Lyra says Bay should be the next Women's IC champ. Bay says they all look up to AJ Lee and they would not be here without her. She says it's a title she hasn't won and wants to win. Bay says maybe Lyra can be first in line if she wins.

Oba Femi vs Rusev

They stare down and lariat battle. They trade shots. Rusev hits knees to the gut then punches to the gut. Oba running euros him in the corner. Rusev corner splashes him. Oba facekicks him then lariats him over the top. Rusev hits double throat thrusts and Rusev is sent into the post. 

Rusev superkicks him on the apron. Rusev hits punches outside. He pushes Oba into the post and spinning heel kicks him on the commentary table. Rusev high kicks him then machka kicks him. Oba running euros him. Oba throws him then pop-up sitout powerbombs him to win.

Thoughts: It was short and maybe didn't even go 6 minutes long which was a bit disappointing. I was hoping for more of a war than what we got. What we got was fine and hid their weaknesses though. This doesn't bode well for Rusev to essentially get squashed like this.

CM Punk comes out to talk. We go to break and return. Punk says he was unsure what the temperature in the room would be. Punk says Roman has never respected him. He says he will force Roman to respect the position he holds. He says titles are made to find out who the best is. 

Punk says the title was created as Roman refused to defend his title. Punk says he defends it as the fans deserve a fighting champ. He says if you face him, you have to level up. He says he levels this place up. He said he lowered himself to Roman's level.

The Uso's come out. Jey says they need Punk to apologize now. Punk asks why Roman is still sending his cousins out here to do his heavy lifting. Jey says he came out here himself. Jimmy says he respects Punk. Jimmy says Punk can't disrespect Roman as he has no voice here and tells him to apologize. 

Punk says respects Sika and talks about learning from Afa and Samu. He says he respects Jimmy's family and says his family showed him respect except for that one SOB. Punk calls Roman a plastic politician. Jey says Punk doesn't get it. Jey says it's not about Roman and they need Punk to say he's sorry. 

Punk says he's sorry....Roman treated them and his family like garbage for years and never publicly apologized. He says he's sorry Roman disrespected Dusty and has tricked The Uso's into thinking he cares about them. Punk says if Roman cared, he'd be talking to him right now instead of his young boys. Punk shoves the mic in Jey's face and is hit and dropped. 

Thoughts: The Uso's and Roman's relationship has been a problem for a while. It's just not consistent and this was another example of it. The Uso's were complaining about Roman months ago and are now defending him again.

Overall thoughts: The show was okay as a whole. The women's gauntlet was okay and had some high points with Iyo/Lyra. Penta/Grande was fine. Rusev/Femi was a short squash and a bit disappointing, though the in-ring work wasn't an issue. Finn got turned on and kicked out of Judgment Day in the surprising moment of the night, which is likely going to set up a Wrestlemania match. The Uso's are back to being Roman's lackeys and got heelish with Punk in the final segment. We either had 3 or 7 matches here depending on how you count the gauntlet and the stars weren't really wrestling here tonight. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall. I've tried to give this Road to Wrestlemania a chance, but so far, it's not that great.

WWF Madison Square Garden 1/17/1994

WWF Madison Square Garden 1/17/1994

This is a fairly notable house show as it had a tag title match referenced on Raw, the last WWF match of Ludvig Borga and a Royal Rumble right before the actual Royal Rumble. 

Ludvig Borga vs Rick Steiner

LB misses lunges at Rick. Rick side headlocks him then LB backdrops him out of it. Rick goes out and LB poses. LB pulls Rick in over the top and side headlocks him. Rick backdrops LB. Rick top rope diving bulldogs LB and LB kicks out at 1. 

Rick armlocks LB. LB hits knees to the gut in the corner then Rick hits a big clothesline for 2. LB drops Rick with an uppercut to the gut. LB drops him with punches then headbutts him. LB lariats him. LB top rope diving lariats him for 2. Rick powerslams LB for 2 then armlocks him.

Rick back elbows him then elbow drops him for 2. Rick running lariats him for 2. LB flying lariats him for 2. LB hits punches on him outside of the ring. Rick fights back and chairs him in front of the ref. The ref doesn't care and counts both guys out.

Thoughts: The finish sucked as Rick nailed LB with a chair right in front of the ref and the ref didn't care. It wasn't a bad heavyweight bout otherwise. Borga outstiffed Rick which you don't see a lot and Rick took it easier on him than he does jobbers. As stated above, this was Ludvig Borga's final WWF match. He had a weird run as he was pushed hard from the start and on TV, you never really got that big singles match nor did he really put anyone over before leaving. I thought he was a underrated talent as he had a good look, was a believable heavweight and was low key funny on promos.

Borga slams him and legdrops him outside. Rick hits punches then they fight up the aisle to the back.

WWF Intercontinental Title Match - Razor Ramon (c) vs. Jeff Jarrett

RR was feuding with IRS at the time, so it's odd to see him defending against JJ here. JJ takes the title before the match and poses with it. 

JJ stalls a bit and is shoved down on the lock-up twice. JJ then goes out. JJ stalls out there, pulls RR out and sends him into the post. He then drops him throat first on the rail. RR's head is banged off the steps. JJ sends him into the post. JJ flying back elbows him then stomps him. JJ 2nd rope fist drops him for 2.

JJ sleepers him and gets on his back. The ref checks RR's arm 3 times and RR gets his arms up. JJ eye rakes him. RR blocks a hiptoss, Jeff flips off of him and is caught with a chokeslam in an athletic spot. RR gets a 2 count on him. 

RR hits punches and drops JJ. RR then fires up. JJ begs off. JJ goes for the crossbody, RR ducks and JJ hits the ref with it. RR goes for the razor's egde. Shawn Michaels comes out and saves JJ. RR punches Shawn off the apron. RR then hits a razor's edge on JJ. The ref counts 2 and Shawn pulls RR off of JJ for the DQ.

Thoughts: It was a slower but decent bout with JJ controlling him with rest holds and RR making his comeback before the interference. Shawn made it known he had issues with RR during this time period so him coming out makes sense. Neither guy needed the loss here and this protected both.

Shawn superkicks Razor outside after and helps JJ up. RR comes in and sends Jeff out. He tries to hit Shawn with the belt but Shawn escapes. Shawn teases squaring off with RR but leaves.

Harvey Wippleman comes out and mouths off at Howard Finkel. He says he's like everyone in NYC - nothing but a loser. He calls the local sports teams losers. He says he doesn't know how people can live in a nasty place like NYC and calls Memphis a better place. 

Harv puts over Adam Bomb and says no one has a chance to win tonight but him. He says Adam doesn't have a title as no one has the guts to face Adam. Fink tells him his time has run out.

Tat tries to fight out and has his head banged off the buckles. Tat does his war dance and hits chops on him. Tat hits head chops. Tat top rope diving lariats him for 2. Tat hits shots in the corner. Yoko irish whips him and Tat goes into the ref. Fuji gives Yoko the salt bucket. Yoko gets blocked and Tat hits him with the bucket. Yoko kicks out at 2. Tat climbs the top rope, Fuji hits him with his flag then Yoko hits 2 legdrops to win.

Thoughts: This was very lazy with Yoko going to the trapezius hold spot THREE TIMES. I don't know if I've ever seen that before. Tat fired up on his comebacks at least but this was boring. 

Yoko banzai drops Tat twice after while refs come to break it up. Yoko stomps him and hits him with the flag. Tat is stretchered to the back and Yoko beats him up while he's on the stretcher. 

WWF World Tag Team Title Match - Marty Jannetty & The 1-2-3 Kid (c) vs. The Quebecers (Jacques & Pierre)

MJ is grabbed on the apron then Jac nails Pierre on a failed double team. Jac holds MJ and Pierre lariats MJ. Jac tries a backroll on MJ and Kid top rope crossbodies Jac.

MJ superkicks Pierre. Pierre takes a suplex + crossbody. Polo distracts the ref and is hit. Jac hits MJ with a polo stick for 2. Jac hits shots to the gut on MJ. MJ takes a double pop up drop throat first on the top rope for 2.

Kid springboard flying lariats Jac then spin kicks both heels. Kid then spinning heel kicks both. Kid goes up top and Polo crotches him. Pierre superplexes Kid. Kid is down and Jac flips Pierre onto Kidd off the top. Pierre then pins Kid to win.

Thoughts: It was a big upset here with MJ/Kid losing the tag titles on a house show just days after winning them. It was a long bout with them doing two hot tag segments and kind of doing the same match twice in one bout. Kid and MJ as a team definitely brought some Rockers memories and I'd like to see them team more. Kid has absolutely been one of the WWF's best signings as he's having the best match on every show he is on. I liked this overall and thought it was good. I'd like to see a rematch.

Thoughts: It was a long Royal Rumble at 70:06. Owen winning was a surprise especially since he had been having some troubles lately. I don't think it was the best booked Rumble. The big threats like Diesel and Adam Bomb were gone in the first half of this. It took a while for the ring to get filled up, it got emptied then it took a bit to fill it up again. I liked that they followed up on Marty/Shawn, Razor/Shawn and Crush/Macho. They did try to put Crush over some here. They also had a bit of filler here with Jim Powers, Sgt. Slaughter and Scott Putski being in this. It was an average Rumble. We mostly just got punches and boots and that was only so exciting. 

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show. The finish on Borga/Steiner sucked but it wasn't that bad otherwise. Jarrett/Razor was a slower and decent bout. Yoko/Tatanka was a lazy match. The tag title match had some good work in it and a rare surprise house show title change that was referenced on Raw. The main was a 70 minute long house show Royal Rumble. The match was average and Owen beating Fatu in the end wasn't exactly the finish I had in mind. 

The local fans got a treat here as they ended up seeing Borga's last WWF match, a rare house show title change and a Royal Rumble. You definitely have to give them an "A" for the card here. I would give this show a 6 out of 10 as it was a rare noteworthy house show and the gave out one of the biggest matches of the year on a show. I would say it was okay overall.

CMLL on Televisa Puebla 3/8/2026

Dulce Gardenia, Magia Blanca & Stigma vs. El Elemental & Los Hermanos Calavera (Calavera Jr. I & Calavera Jr. II)

The Cal's tie up Stig and MB together and lift them for a double submission. Stig and MB submit. Elementa's team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: It didn't look that great on paper and wasn't much better in reality. Dulce was probably the best wrestler in this one. If you are were looking for big highlights or standout moments, this one wasn't it. It was quite a generic match and it went a long time. 

Yutani vs Flip Gordon

We join this in progress with Yut doing a foot choke on Flip. Yut chops Flip down then stomps on him. Yut dropkicks Flip in the knee. Yut frogsplashes Flip's leg. Yut dropkicks Flip in the knee. Yut dropkicks him in the knee again. Yut chops Flip and Flip chops back.

Flip bodyscissors rolls Yut forward for 2. They fight on the buckles. Flip hits a green bay plunge on him for 2. Flip hits a cross rhodes on Yut and pins him.

Thoughts: They put in a good effort here. They flew around and kept it pretty competitive. It didn't quite get the time to be great or for them to do something long and drawn out, but we got a lot of action. This was alright.

Overall thoughts: We oddly didn't get to see the main event on this show. We also did not see the Mei/Starlight Kid tag but the fact that we got to see Maika/Olympia was a win. Maika/Olym was average and they only got about 8 minutes or so. The trios match was pretty generic with no one but Dulce Gardenia really getting to shine. Flip/Yutani was alright and was the high flying and athletic match you'd expect, but it didn't get the time to be great. I wouldn't really recommend this one as nothing was that great here and most of CMLL's top stars were not on this show. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and would say it was below average.

AAA on Fox 3/7/2026

AAA on Fox 3/7/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/aaa-on-fox-2282026.html

We are in Monterrey, Mexico. JBL, Corey Graves and Rey Mysterio are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive.

El Hijo del Vikingo vs. Dinamico

Vik shotgun dropkicks him and stomps on him in the corner. Vik foto chokes Din and chops him. Vik corner lariats him, enzugiri's him and basement dropkicks him for 2. Din spinning sitout powerbombs him. Din trips him then basement dropkicks him. Vik spin kicks him in the face and lariats him.

Vik package tombstones him on a casadora. Din rolls him up for 2. Vik spin kicks him in the gut. They botch an electric chair german spot. Vik lariats him. Din is rammed into the buckles. Vik top rope 630's him for the win.

Thoughts: It started off well then they had a couple of botches that brought this down. The botches were particularly an issue since this is the first time we saw Dinamico on WWE's version of AAA and it makes him look worse than it does Vikingo. They had the right idea here. Dinamico isn't a super impressive flyer or anything but what he does is enough. It was definitely an "underdog goes for the upset" style match.

Dominik Mysterio congratulates Vikingo after in a video. He says next week will be different and says Vik won't become anything in this life. He says he will show him what it is to be a real champ and says he stay king of the luchadores.

She says because of it, she was put in WWE's newest game. She asks where her competition is. She challenges anyone to come to Rey de Reyes and take her title from her. She says they will fail and go up and flames.

Thoughts: I was shocked El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. didn't appear here to go after Santos. Everyone else sure did though with Pagano, The War Raiders and El Fiscal getting involved. Iguana hit a cool diving headscissors into an armdrag outside. I didn't really get some of the logic of Clown helping out Iguana then working against him later. It was a wild match and it was entertaining.

Thoughts: GA worked the leg here for the first part of this then forgot about in the 2nd half which hurt this. Parka still sold the knee long after GA stopped working on it. The dirty finish didn't help things out much. I can't say I liked this all that much and it also went a little longer than it needed to.

Santos Escobar comes out and looks at the Rey de Reyes sword. El Grande Americano II then comes out and look at the sword.  Grande, Grande II and Santos then compete for cheers after.

Overall thoughts: It was maybe one of the weaker editions in-ring wise of AAA. Vikingo/Dinamico had the right idea but the botches hurt Dinamico more than they did Vikingo, and Dinamico wasn't even responsible for some of them. The four-way was a bit wild with lots of people interfering but it was entertaining. We got more teases on the situation with Psycho Clown's buddies being attacked. The main wasn't that good. Grande did leg work on Parka for the first half then gave up on it in the 2nd half while Parka sold. It also had a dirty finish. Rey de Reyes begins next week, so because of it, nothing really got resolved here storyline wise. Next week is when we will probably start to get some happenings. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall. It was okay but the wrestlers dropped the ball that the bookers had passed them here. 

WOW Women of Wrestling 3/7/2026 Season 6, Episode 22

WOW Women of Wrestling 3/7/2026 Season 6, Episode 22

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/wow-women-of-wrestling-2282026-season-6.html 

We are still somehow on Freemont Street in Las Vegas. The amount of shows they got from this set of tapings is pretty wild. David McLane and Nigel Zane are on commentary.

We see clips from last week's show and see the interviewer looking for Santana Garrett after she was kidnapped. She find her locked in a closet. Security helps free her. She's all shaken up and doesn't know what happened. She has to be helped out of the room. 

Top Tier comes out to talk. Coach says she has to give it up for Monsters and Metal. She says Fury is observant and got it right when she said Coach would do anything to keep the trios titles. She says they can do the Full Metal Massacre Match and says they will have to be put into the ground to get the titles out of their hands. 

We get a video on Destiny Diesel. She says she's where she has to be and says Kalaki the Island Girl is her mentor. we then see Diesel's house in San Diego. She says her family pressured her to be a strong woman. She says the freight train lifestyle was for her. She says she was intimidated when getting into WOW. She says her mom is on the journey with her. She says the freight train will come knock you down.

Destiny Diesel and Kalaki the Island Girl talk. Kal says they have Animal Instinct tonight and says to focus and concentrate on the plan. She says they will do it. Diesel says she's nervous but she wants her opponents to know she will run them off the track.

DD back elbows Gold then dropkicks Cat in the corner. DD flying forearms Cat. DD throws Cat out. Cat rolls up Kal for 2 and Gold tries to help her get the pin. Kal rolls up Cat with help from DD and pins her.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. Everyone hit a lot of weak shots here and since strikes made up most of this, it was a problem. I suppose the faces needed to win this one since they just became a team but I don't like to see Gold and Cat losing when it's not needed.

Kal and DD talk on the mic. DD says she's glad to be here and thanks her for teaching her new moves and giving her confidence. Kal says she's honored to have her by her side.

Animal Instinct do a promo. Goldie says the faces are copycats and would be nowhere without their finisher. Cat says they want a rematch and says they will go down. Cat says the hunt is on.

We get a Fab Four video. They say they are here to take over and have more class and championships than you. Pink says Las Vegas isn't Beverly Hills.

Thoughts: It was easily one of WOW's better matches in a while. Cruz is a good face. She's good looking, she plays to the crowd, she has some fire and she moves well. Pink is also one of WOW's better girls. The crowd got into this and they had a full back and forth wrestling match here. They did kind of run out of gas near the end of this but they did a good job with this one otherwise. Pink won but Cruz gained some respect despite losing and really should be pushed as one of their top faces. She's just too far ahead of everyone else not to be.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 matches here. The main got a ton of time though and it doesn't feel like we were robbed of anything. We got some set-up for next week's Full Metal Mayhem WOW Title match, we got personality videos on Gabriella Cruz/Destiny Diesel and we got some follow up on Santana's abduction last week. I thought it was a decent show overall mostly carried by the main event. I'd give it a lower 6 out of 10.
