Thoughts: These guys work together all the time and it should have been better than it was. Some of the spots were a bit clunky here and it just wasn't the clean bout it should have been. It wasn't awful or anything though, just a bit below average.

Thoughts: There were essentially a bunch of rookie wrestlers here and it wasn't that good. There were a lot of styles clashes. Fury Boy also didn't get to really show off when he could have been the difference maker.

Thoughts: There were a lot of cool spots and moves but not much else inbetween. The selling and story here was also rather non-existent. Their work would make for a nice highlight reel but the match wasn't that great.

Thoughts: I didn't like the canadian destroyer not meaning anything but I think it was acceptable otherwise. It was mostly all flying here. Vol kept up a bit better than usual and they didn't go too crazy with this. This is one of the lowest ranked people on the totem pole I've seen Vol lose to.

World Historic Welterweight Title Match - Mascara Dorada (c) vs. Yutani

Yut came out with a mask with a long tongue on it that I hadn't seen before.

Yut runs at him. MD rolls over his back. MD flips over him. Yut headscissors him into the ropes but he flips out. They then stand off. They shake hands. MD corkscrew headscissors him out. MD then tornillos him over the top. They both get on the rail outside. MD tries to hurricanrana him down but Yut doesn't move and MD lands on his chest on the rail in a weird spot.

MD 2nd rope electric chair drivers him. MD then ropewalk springboard plancha's him outside. MD top rope ssp's him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was an exciting match with MD really going all out and doing his coolest offense. They got a little too happy near the end as they started blowing through big stuff without selling it. I did like this overall though as it was a fun high flying match.

World Historic Light Heavyweight Title Match - Averno (c) vs. Atlantis Jr.

Av backrolls him and is armdragged. AJ reverse headscissors him down from the mat. Av backrolls and is kicked. Av chops him. Av is kicked on an up and over attempt. AJ diving headscissors him from the buckles. AJ then runs the apron and diving headscissors him on the floor.

Thoughts: It was definitely a bit rushed and didn't really get the time. Av did try to play heel a bit at least but it wasn't anything too special.

Overall thoughts: The undercard was rather average and not that good. I didn't like Blanca/Suicida as it wasn't much but cool moves and spots. The Flip/Volador match was similar but they did a better job with it and I was alright with it. Dorada/Yutani was the match of the night with them having an exciting bout and doing some of their more flashier stuff. The main was rushed and nothing special. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10, mostly for them treating us to some singles title matches. It was okay overall.

Thoughts: It was a decent bout here. They had the right idea and tried to bring some aggression to this. The execution could have been a little better but I was fine with this one. They got a lot of time and they use it well.

IWA Title - Special Ref - Savio Vega: Ricky Banderas vs Jay Blake

Ricky has the IWA Title but he's not the champ if I'm understanding correctly.

Thoughts: They told a good story here with Savio cheating and doing everything he could to ensure Jay didn't win and Jay overcoming the odds. It made sense, it made you feel sympathetic for Jay and it just worked. The crowd popped big for the finish and I can't blame them.

Jay celebrates in the crowd after.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show. We only got 2 matches here but both got tons of time to play out and we saw them in full. We also got a good angle to close the show with Banderas turning face on Vega then joining up with Jay Blake. I enjoyed this one and thought they did a nice job here. This gets an easy 7 out of 10 from me and I'd recommend it.

The next show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/iwa-puerto-rico-impacto-total-1242026.html

Mantell and Pura go over the top together. ET low blows Pupe then piledrivers him on his head. ET then pins Pupe.

Thoughts: The faces lost via a low blow here so it wasn't a clean loss. They had a few sloppy moments but the match was fine as a whole. Pupe knows how to do the comedic underdog role and can always turn these matches into something.

The Express hug after and Mantell lariats Pupe! Mantell then stomps Pupe and the face announcer says it can't be real. Wizard loves it. Mantell pounds on Pupe then throws him out. Pupe is then thrown into the post. Pupe gets busted open. Mantell hits mounted punches on Pupe. Ref's and Fernando Tonos come out to stop it but Mantell keeps the beating going.

Thoughts: This is a big turn. The Drunken Express have been around for a long time and have been one of their top teams. I would kind of it compare it to if The Bushwhackers turning on each other, but The Express are much bigger deals here.

Bitterness, Atillah and Carlos Controversia come out and the girls wait for their opponents in the entrance area. Rox and VV see this and come out the other side.

VV pulls Bit out then cannonballs her and Carlos off the apron. Rox double underhook facebusters Atillah and pins her.

Thoughts: Bitterness can't move much at all due to her weight. Her and Atillah did their jobs as heels though. It wasn't the greatest match ever but the format was fine with the heels getting the edge and the faces making their comeback. The execution could have been better though.

Atomo & Super Atomo vs. Manu & Pedro Portillo III

This is Atomo's retirement match. Super is in the red mask and Atomo is in the green. I'll refer to Super Atomo as Super here and Atomo as just Atomo.

Super top rope crossbodies Manu. Super casadora bulldogs Manu. All 4 fight and the Atomo's are sent into each other. Manu forearms PP on accident and is dropkicked out. Atomo death valley drivers PP and Super pins PP with Atomo's help to win.

Thoughts: It was a good match. They had great timing here, they followed a nice hot tag format and it was just a very simple match done well. The crowd was into this as well which helped things.

The Atomo's are interviewed in the ring after. Atomo is asked if this will be his last match. He says it is and said he told Super Atomo to join him one last time. He says there's nothing better than leaving with this win. He says he was born in the IWA and will finish in the IWA. He says he will be keeping a close eye on Super Atomo and says he will be there if he needs him. He says as they say in this company, nothing is what it seems. He says he wants to do something few fighters get to do. Atomo then says he wants to unmask and he does as Alberto Munoz.Atomo then raises Super Atomo's hand.

Mike Mendoza vs. Dragon Nihan

Drag has Savio Vega with him.

Drag shoulders MM over then boots him. Drag clubs him and headbutts him. Drag hiptosses him then running knees him in the corner. Drag chops him in the corner and foot chokes him. MM chops Drag and Drag punches him down. Savio hits MM with a bat outside.

MM boots him out of the corner. MM is caught off the top and chokeslammed for 2. MM gets on his back with a sleeper. Drag back body drops him and hits a big superkick. Drag powerbombs him for the win.

Thoughts: Mike had a hard time with Nihan here. He didn't really connect on some of his moves and it made the match look fake. He did try to do the usual offense wrestlers do like attacking the knee and going for the sleeper though. Nihan had a cool superkick here. Because he's so big, his leg extended about half-way across the ring. This was a bit below average.

Dragon powerbombs him after. Savio Veg's crew of Mascara Pura, Edrax, Manu, Portillo and Carlos Controversia stomp Mike after. Jay Blake comes out wand hits the heels with a piece of wood. The rest of the heels then run as he comes after them.

Savio gets on the mic. He says Jay is scum and is useless as a champion and wrestler. He says Ricky Banderas will take the title to Mexico. Jay says Vega's group is growing bigger and bigger. He says none of them will change what will happen. Vega says that won't happen in his life. Vega says they will finish him off.

1/24 is when Histeria Mania takes place. It has:

IWA Title - Jay Blake vs Manu

Marovik vs El Dragon Nihan

IWA Puerto Rican Title - Pedro Portillo III (c) vs Super Atomo

Vanilla Vargas vs Daisy Lyn

Edrax Torras and Mascara Pura in an Open Challenge match

Excellent Mantell will explain his turn on Pupe Jackson

Fernando Tonos tries to stop Excellent Mantell in the back. Mantell beats up Pupe Jackson in his locker room and says he doesn't want to lose.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show. We had an okay opener with a big turn. The women did what they were supposed to do in their match but it wasn't very athletic. I liked the tag match with The Atomo's. The main was a bit below average. I'd give it a lower 6 out of 10.

Kenny says he spoke to MJF's doctor too. Kenny says he'd rather be missing his intestines than his balls like MJF. MJF agrees to a match with Mike and says he will make an example of him. He says Canada is a dump and says only the USA matters. He says Mike isn't wrestling any MJF but an American hero.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
