Thoughts: It was the usual slower Orton match here. Orton getting busted open helped this one out. They didn't do anything too wild but tried. It was an okay main.

We then get a graphic for Bill Dundee, who passed away last night, to close the show. The Butcher of AEW fame also passed away last night but did not get one.

Overall thoughts: The Corbin/Yachty match only had 5 minutes so it was never going to be anything that good. Yachty didn't have a bad showing. Corbin/Trick was one of Trick's better matches and it was fine. Oba/Bron ended on a DQ, but no one lost. What we got was okay and they followed the usual hoss formula. The women's match was average to acceptable. Cody/Orton was a PLE level main event. Orton's ear got busted open and he bled a lot. It was a slower Orton match though and not that different from other Orton bouts. It was okay though. I'd give it a high 5 out of 10. There were way too many commercials. We didn't get enough matches and Bron/Oba ended on a DQ. It was acceptable overall.

AAA on Fox 9/5/2026

There was no show last week as Ola de Calor was aired instead. The last AAA on Fox show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/aaa-on-fox-8222026.html

The faces dance with a kid in a mask after.

La Catalina is interviewed. She's the new #1 Contender to the Reina de Reina Title. She says she wanted this title for so long. She says she's coming for Flammer at Triplemania and says Hiedra didn't help her. She says she will go to therapy for her arm and do whatever she has to do to wrestle. She says Flammer's reign won't last too long and doesn't think her friendship with Hiedra will either. She says Triplemania is only 2 weeks away and she can see herself winning the title. She says Flammer doesn't have much time left and better say goodbye to the title.

Rey Mysterio says trios matches have always been the heart of lucha and says AAA is known for it worldwide. He says the titles date back to 2011 when Perros del Mal were crowned s the champs. He says Psycho Circus has held the titles since November 2024. He says things were complicated this year and with injuries, Psycho Circus hasn't been able to defend the titles. He says they are ready to defend and will do so at TripleMania Night 1. He says it'll be Psycho Circus vs Perros del Mal for the AAA Trios Titles.

Mr. Iguana talks to Rey Mysterio in the back. Iguana thanks him for all the tournaments he has been making and says they were incredible. He says he has only lost once in a mixed tag title match and asks if he can get a title shot. He says he's undefeated in singles matches. Rey says he's right and and asks how bad he wants it. Iguana says he wants it more than anything else. Rey says he can have a title match at Triplemania against his best friend, La Parka. Iguana agrees. AAA says it'll be Mr. Iguana vs La Parka vs Laredo Kid for the AAA Latin American Title at Triplemania. La Parka walks in and Iguana says they need to talk.

The War Raiders are interviewed. Ivar says they feel good and are the AAA Tag champs for a reason. Erik just looks at Andrea. Andrea asks if they have Triplemania plans. Erik says there's not a team on the planet who can take what's theirs. Erik says they are issuing an open challenge at Triplemania as they are ready for anyone. Ivar says no one is ready for war.

La Catalina vs Adelicious

Lady Flammer is on Spanish commentary for this.

Cat takes Ade down by the arm and armdrags her. Ade drops down and Cat boots her in the head. Cat dropkicks her. Ade bridges out of a lariat and dropkicks Cat. Ade then dances. Ade throws Cat down backwards and stomps her. Ade then dances more.

Ade slingblades Cat. Cat's head is banged off the buckles. Ade's head is then banged off the buckles. Cat top rope dropkicks her. Cat hip attacks her from behind against the buckles. Cat fisherman suplexes her.

Cat superkicks Ade then hip attacks her from behind on the ropes. Cat hits a back rack drop on her and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a quick squash and not much else. Ade danced a little and did the basics. It wasn't very impressive and Cat won as expected.

Cat points at Flammer after. Flammer gets up and Cat invites her in. Flammer teases getting in but leaves.

Overall thoughts: It was a waste of time. We only had 2 matches. The opener was okay and the main event was basically a squash. It was almost all Triplemania shilling and we had a pointless Grande/Pimpi segment as well. I'm not sure what happened here but most of the roster was missing. This was poorly planned and they easily could have added another match at some taping to fill this one out a bit more. This was a terrible go home show for Triplemania and accomplished little. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 and it was not good.

WOW Women of Wrestling 9/5/2026 Season 6, Episode 39

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/wow-women-of-wrestling-8292026-season-6.html

They say this show will focus on the tag team division with a focus on Miami's Sweet Heat and Best 4 Business.

They talk about the history of tag team wrestling.

We see all of Miami's Sweet Heat's Title wins including 2 over The Tonga Twins, one over Coach Campanelli and Randi Rah Rah, one over The Mother Truckers and one over Penelope Pink and Holly Swagg.

We see Kara Kai not show up for the Dojo Defenders vs Miami's Sweet Heat tag title match, which caused a Tara Strike vs Lindsay Carlson match instead. We then The Dojo Defenders take on Miami's Sweet Heat and lose. We see the story of how The Dojo Defenders broke up. We see a Tara Strike/Ashley Blaze vs Miami's Sweet Heat match where Tara and Blaze won. We then see a WOW Tag Title match between those teams where Best 4 Business spray painted MSH in the eyes and caused the match to be thrown out.

We see Best 4 Business talk in the ring and introduce themselves. Tara Strike and Ashley Blaze then attack them. We then see all of Best 4 Business vs Miami's Sweet Heat vs Tara Strike and Ashley Blaze for the tag titles. Blaze and Strike won the titles in that match.

Next week's show appears to have something with Santana Garrett vs Penelope Pink. Since they didn't make any promises about a new match or anything, I'm assuming it will be clips of their feud and WOW Title match which Santana won.

We see interviews for a Strike/Blaze vs Best 4 Business tag title match, then we see that match where Best 4 Business won. That closed the show.

Overall thoughts: There was nothing to see here. It was all replays of old matches and some old clips. I won't be rating this one as there was no new content here.

Thoughts: AEW, Where The Big Boys Lay. They did too much here with F-5's and canadian destroyers being meaningless. This was basically a tornado tag as there was rarely only 2 people here. I didn't like it that much but at least The Bucks didn't fly too much here.

Willow Nightingale does a promo. She says her and Mone did everything they could to each other at All In. She says they aren't alike though as she doesn't make excuses and go into hiding for 6 months. She says she gets up and keeps fighting. She says she will fight to get her AEW Title.

Overall thoughts: The opener was the usual Bucks match with endless double teams and them naturally winning. I didn't like that one that much. Adam Page and Brodido won a quick squash. Nick Wayne/Komander was off to an easier start than usual but it went all downhill once the canadian destroyer was busted out. Persephone/Vertvixen was average and Pers won as expected. The Motor City Machine Guns debuted and had their usual match. It was fast paced and alright, but nothing we haven't seen. Gabe/Idolo was fine. Athena/Isla was average. The main was fine but I'm not real sure why it was the main. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall as the wrestling was fine enough here. As usual the show had a lot of random matches and was mostly focused on in-ring work. It was okay overall.

Thoughts: We've seen this one a million times. This should be the end of the feud. It was entertaining. I loved Eric's head first bump into the ref's crotch and the cup spot was funny. Talos is back which is nice and we will have to see how he fits into things.

Hayden Backlund does a promo. He says he told us he's the future. He says when you don't pay attention to the future, it sneaks up on you. He says no more talking about the future because the present is Hayden Backlund.

Thoughts: It was an average bout. Mims and Pope continue to lose and I still have no idea what they are doing with them except making them look bad. There was nothing too special about this one.

Daisy Kill and Talos do a promo in a basement. Kill says Talos is with him again. Kill says Smalls finally got what's coming to him. Kill says Talos has got a title to put around his waist and he has a story to be written.

Nat takes a ddt on an open chair seat for 2. Nat samoan drops Gretta for 2. Tiff hits Nat with a belt to break up the pin and Tiff then pins Nat with a foot on her chest.

Thoughts: It was a sham. Nat got double teamed the whole time and there wasn't much wrestling here. Nat just mostly got hit with a keyboard before going down.

Overall thoughts: The opener was acceptable. The Daisy/Eric dog collar Match was entertaining and hopefully it is the end of the feud. Thom Latimer's match was average. The main event was a sham and not much of a match at all. It was an average show as usual and there's nothing you really need to see here. I guess the dog collar match was the best thing on here, but it was mostly comedy. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.

Joe jawbreakers him then springboard double axe handles him. Joe top rope crossbodies him but Ryan rolls through. Ryan falcon arrows him and pins him.

Thoughts: It shorter and more compact bout. They kept it moving. Joe was decent as a heel as usual and Ryan did his part as a face. It's just too bad we didn't get more of this because it would have been even better.

Overall thoughts: We didn't get the match promised in the opening segment but that's not the first time it happened. Valor/Dey was alright with CJ showing off some nice power spots. Mia/Jacey was an okay match. Mia was a good face and flew around a lot. The main was short but what we got of it was fine. The opener was the best thing on this. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as it was a quick and okay show here with all 3 matches being fine.

Kira topes Tab on accident when her opponents move. Kira cradles Mei off a suplex for 2. Mei does her flipping crucifix and pins Kira.

Thoughts: It was high speed craziness as expected here. It was a total sprint and the Japanese won. I was glad it ended when it did as it was starting to get a little old but it was acceptable otherwise.

Thoughts: It kind of turned into a spotfest near the end with them doing a big spot then going to the next big spot without a ton of reason or flow. Maika doing some heel stuff was amusing. I liked the effort, but thought they got close to doing too much near the end.

CMLL World Tag Team Title #1 Contendership Three Way Semi Final Match - El Clon & Rocky Romero vs. Los Guerreros Laguneros (Gran Guerrero & Stuka Jr.) vs. El Sky Team (Mascara Dorada & Neon)

Thoughts: I hate the new "Wrestler A hits a finisher, Wrestler B no sells it and Wrestler B pins Wrestler A" spot. It originated in Stardom and it's awful. It makes no sense whatsoever. It was all mayhem here with 2 wrestlers doing a sequence then someone getting out so the next person can get in. It wasn't awful or anything but the format limited it. I think they did about the best you could do with it, but I didn't love it.

They do a ceremony for the referees with a public health official of Mexico. They introduce all the refs and the refs are clearly moved by it. They are given a plaque and they get some applause.

Temp GTS' Barb and canadian destroyers him. Temp then pins him. Templario's team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: The 2/3 falls format didn't work for this one. Barb's temp got DQ'd in the first fall and that really should have been it. Temp's team ended up winning anyway so it made no real difference. The big story they tried to put over was that Barb and Rojo hate Temp. They were successful in doing so, but I don't think they needed all the time they got to do it. I thought it was average.

Zand wastelands Av. Mist top rope spanish flies Zand for 2. Av 2nd rope angel's wings Star then Zand throws Av out. Mist la mistica's Zand and submits him. Mistico and Averno win the fall and match.

Thoughts: I didn't like this one that much. The big problem with these matches is that CMLL is built around face vs heel stuff. Star was heelish here, but he'll be back to being friendly with Mist tomorrow and will be back to being a super face tomorrow. That just exposes what they are doing. It was also a bit hard to follow since we are so used to seeing these people work together instead of facing each other. Like the last match, one fall would have been enough here. Star wasn't bad a heel though in this one and I hope he's okay after the botched angel's wings he took.

Av and Mist celebrate after then Av beats up Mist. Mist takes him down and pounds on him. Av then takes Mist's mask off.

Overall thoughts: The top matches were focused on building the Anniversary show. It was a bit of a weird show as I would say the first 3 matches were all similar bouts and the last 2 bouts were basically the same thing with some minor changes. I didn't like the last 2 bouts as both were 2/3 falls matches when they should have been single fall matches. The main was tough to follow with Star Jr. acting as a heel instead of a face and doing stuff he wouldn't normally do. This was a different kind of show than what we usually get and not for the better. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as the effort was there but the wrestlers got put into a lot of situations that were hard to work with. I thought it was so-so.
