WWE Smackdown 10/16/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/wwe-smackdown-1092026.html

We are in Sacramento, CA. Vic Joseph and Corey Graves are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive.

Sami says Trick Williams isn't worth the waste of breath to talk about. Sami congratulates Penta for winning MITB mockingly. He tells Penta to focus his energy on Roman Reigns. Sami says he has a history with Roman too and says he's fighting Roman in a few weeks in a champ vs champ match at Crown Jewel.

Trick says Sami doesn't like him as the people turn on him with Trick around and says Sami sees a real superstar in Trick. Trick says he doesn't care about Sami. Trick says he will beat his @ss for disrespecting him 2 weeks ago.

He says Trick turned things into a joke and Sami says that's all Trick is. Sami says Trick doesn't have survival skills and needs to learn how to survive in his jungle. Sami says he learned how to survive and that's why Trick will stay where he is.

Trick says he's done talking and dares Sami to hit him. Gargano grabs the mic and tells Trick he's disrespecting the WWE champ and him and LeRae. Gargano says they had to go through a lot to be here while Trick was handed opportunities they would kill for. Gargano says Trick has "it" but the doesn't have the title and he will respect them. Gargano says they don't call him Johnny Entrance but Johnny Wrestling. Trick says how about he beats Gargano's @ss tonight. Sami tells Gargano he can take Trick and Gargano agrees.

Thoughts: Trick won as expected. JG got no reaction here at all. It was rough as most of Trick's offense is based around jumping and JG spent the whole match working his knee. Trick did try to sell it, but it wasn't going to work that well. It was average.

Nick Aldis tells Blake Monroe her interactions with Giulia are getting out of hand. He says they will fight in a street fight next week. Chelsea Green comes in.

Gunther goes into Nick Aldis' office and talks to Nick, but can't see him.

Gun says he will make sure Halloween is a special night for Danhausen.

Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley come out. They say they did it and hold up the tag titles. Bliss says Flair wanted to be in the match last week. Bliss says Flair was a good friend and cheered them onto victory. Bliss then introduces us to Tatum.

She says Bliss will go back to being in her shadow when they lose the tag titles. Tatum says if they want the tag titles back, they will play with them. Jacy says she can't tonight, but her buddies can. Fatal Influence goes after the faces and 2 of them are sent out. Jacy is armwhipped down. The faces exit.

Jade Cargill's crew talks to Fatal Influence. They argue. Michin says they have the next shot at the tag titles and maybe they will see them on the other side.

Thoughts: Well, that was a surprise finish though not a good one. Rey's been getting featured a lot lately but still isn't that over. What we got was acceptable here RS really didn't need the loss here, so they avoided it with a DQ.

RS beats up Rey after then hits another roshambo. More refs come down and RS stomps him.

Cody Rhodes talks to Nick Aldis. Cody wants to hear that Randy Orton is here. Cody says he knows Nick did all he can do so he will go do all he can do.

Cody Rhodes comes out and sits in a chair. Cody says he will sit here until Randy Orton comes out. Baron Corbin comes out instead. Baron says he told Cody a long time ago that he doesn't buy it. He says a lot of things changed but Cody whining in the ring stayed the same. Baron says some people don't have the killer instinct and some are born with it. He says he doesn't need friends and likes to hurt people but Cody is obsessed with being the good guy. Baron says none of that matters and Baron says him winning the title is the only thing that matters. He says he will do it at Cody's expense.

Cody says he'd usually have the patience for this. He punches him and lariats him over the top. Cody calls for a ref to come out and says they still have time to do this.

Cody Rhodes vs Baron Corbin

We go to break and we join this in progress. Cody hits boots and punches. Baron hits a deep six. Baron stomps Cody. Cody is sent hard into the buckles. Baron hits mounted shots on Cody.

Thoughts: This wasn't much at all. We didn't see the start of this and we didn't get a real finish. This was also beyond random.

Orton beats up Cody outside and bangs his head off the apron. Orton euros Cody. Orton's head is banged off the commentary table. Orton hits punches on Cody on the commentary table. Orton bangs Cody's head off the commentary table. Cody is sent into the post. Cody hits a cody cutter on him. Baron comes in and hits shots on Cody. Cody runs up the buckles and hits a super cody cutter. Orton leaves the ring. Cody then punts Baron while Orton says Cody won't do it. Orton is surprised.

Overall thoughts: 4 of the 5 matches had non-clean pinfall finishes here though one of them ended that way due to injury. Trick/Gargano was average and Gargano got no reaction. Paige/Bella was average too. Priest/Truth ended early due to injury. Fenix/Saints had a bad finish but the match was acceptable. We barely got any of the main at all and it ended on a DQ as well. I thought this was below average overall with bad finishes, random last minute matches and and a very weak main event. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.

TNA Impact 10/15/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/tna-impact-1082026.html

Ryan misses a charge and gets dropped with a superkick. Nic says, "look at what you made me do". Matt chants, "one more time".Nic then hits a fameasser and pins Ryan.

Thoughts: Eh, it wasn't much wrestling wise but the logic was right and it was entertaining.

Thoughts: It was another shorter bout here. It made sense and was fine. The heels needed the win here a bit more with SB's team being new. The faces didn't get a ton in but it also meant no botches.

Eli climbs the ladder. Nic Nemeth comes out and pushes the ladder over. Nic superkicks Eli. Nic then climbs the ladder and goes for the contract. Trey stops him. Trey lightning spiral's Nic. Trey climbs the ladder and grabs the contract. Trey wins.

Thoughts: Trey winning was a big random upset here. Him vs Leon should be entertaining but it's not exactly a major money drawing match. The match was acceptable but they took it easy here. It was more of a house show style ladder match than them going for a classic. I was curious as to what would have happened if Nic grabbed the contract.

The Hardy's come out and congratulate Trey. Matt thanks everyone for being part of their 35th Anniversary and says thanks to TNA. Leon and Trey shake hands and Leon holds the title up at him.

Overall thoughts: It was kind of like a house show or something. Everyone took it real easy here and everything but the main was on the short side. Angles and storylines were also very brief here. It had a totally different feel to it than a normal Impact. I'm not sure what that was about.

The show was a fun little show though. We saw a bunch of matches we don't normally see and even though the matches were toned down, we got to see a tables match and a ladder match. Nic/Ryan was short but they had the right idea and it was entertaining. The tables match was kind of a waste. The Hardy's did what they were supposed to do in their match and Expressions was ineffective as expected. The women's trios match was fine. The main was alright but it was definitely a safer and limited ladder match. They did tie a couple of storylines in though which was good. 

I'd give the show a 6 out of 10. There was nothing must see but it was fun and something different. I thought it was easy to get through and enjoyable. This was fine as a one-off event.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. It was brawling heavy as expected. Mostly everything looked fine here though I think something got messed up on the spot where the ref went down. They didn't bleed or do any big spots, but it was safe and mostly clean.

Mike Anthony and Wonder Boy talk after their last man standing match. WB sits down, Mike sits down next to him and offers him chips. Mike says not much needs to be said but he thinks he's ready now. Mike points at WB's Crossroads Cup and say, "do the d@mn thing".

Everyone fights in the ring. Vain foot chokes AR. Xero runs down and top rope crossbodies 3 of the heels. AR running boots Vain out. The heels all go out and the two sides yell at each other to close the show.

Overall thoughts: The women's street fight was acceptable. Ty/Enrico was fine and Ty had a good showing. The main event was also fine but had a bit of a lame finish. I'd give this show a 6 out of 10 overall. The show was okay.

Mike's head is banged off the buckles and he takes a double bulldog for 2. Tommy foot chokes Mike. Mike sends JP into Tommy. Bigfoot comes in. Big hits big boots and slams The Boyz. Big no sells a double superkick then he hits a double chokeslam. Big then chokeslams Mike onto the Boyz. Big dogpile pins all of them to win.

Thoughts: Look, it's JCW. It's supposed to be ridiculous. It was entertaining and done well with Bigfoot coming in and destroying. I'd hate this in any other fed, but this was exactly what it should have been and I enjoyed it. Bigfoot is over as a mega face in JCW.

Bigfoot then runs off through the crowd and Mack Davis goes chasing after him. Mike yells after as he realizes Bigfoot is on the loose again. 

We see Barnabas begging outside. Dani Mo and The Outbreak come up to him. Barn is happy to see them and says last week felt like a dream come true. Barn says the crowd wants them to be back together. Dani and The Outbreak walk away and Dani says she's got no change for him.

We see Sally Boy arrive with a box of chocolates. 

Barnabas begs outside and finds someone from a movie/tv show called Meatball Mama's. He says this person would be better if she was a wrestler. He tries to recruit her and says he can take them to the top. This person talks on the phone and they decline Barn's offer. Barn then asks for spare change.

Thoughts: It was inevitable that Steven Flowe would get involved and he eventually did. They tried and it was more workrate focused than the usual match. Both guys could have had better strikes here though. It wasn't that good.

The ring Rat wants Facade's approval after but Facade walks away.

Sally Boy is looking for Big Al in the back. 

Choppa City run into Barnabas crying outside. Barn asks if they want to beat him up again. They ask what happened to him. Barn sees the tag titles and offers to manage them. Barn makes his pitch to them. Bruce says they are at the top and Barn stuck the zombies on them a month ago. Barn asks if they have change and they give him some money. Barn says to call him but says his phone is off as he doesn't have a pot to p!ss in.  

Mack Davis talks to Mr. Happy and Baby Pooey. Happy and his kid come out in a stroller and they greet the DJ and the commentators. Happy wheels the kid around in the ring. 

Mack congratulates Happy. He asks how it feels to be a new daddy. Jasmin St. Claire and Dijak interrupt and come out before Happy says anything. Jas calls Happy a fat tub of lard and says look at what he did to her. Jas says she's fat, has stretch marks and her chest is down to her knees.She says it's all for a b@stard named Baby Pooey. Jas says it's impossible to be mother of the year but she could never be as good as Lindsay Clancy. She promises to make Happy's life a living hell. Happy gives her the middle finger then Dijak gets it too. Dijak yells at Happy and wants him to put the baby down. 

Jas and Dijak argue. Happy hits Dijak with a stroller but Dijak no sells it. Dijak kicks Happy in the crotch. Dijak then beats him with the stroller. Dijak grabs the baby and Jasmin wants Dijak to elbow drop it. Happy then grabs the baby. Dijak takes the baby and elbow drops it. 

Mack Davis then goes up to Happy and the baby. Mack says the baby is fine without a scratch on him. Happy does the happy dance. 

Dr. Fadem, Mack Davis, Mr. Happy and Violent J talk. Fadem says he only sees a small scrape on the arm and says the baby is lucky and happy. He says Happy is lucky but fat and strange. Fadem asks Happy if he has hemorrhoid issues and says J can attest that's the man for that stuff. J says he's fine and gets mad.

JCW Tag Titles - Bunkhouse Brawl - Choppa City (Bruce Wayans and Atiba) (c) vs The JWO (2 Tuff Tony and Willie Mack)

Tony shoves Pondo. Pondo hits Tony with a stop sign twice. Bruce then pins Tony and Pondo fast counts the pin.

Thoughts: Choppa City took a bunch of floor bumps here. This could have been shorter as it was slower and almost all brawling. It had some moments but I would say it was average.

Sally Boy finds Big Al. He says he appreciates her picking him last week. Sally says he's  trying to change things and gives her chocolates. He then walks away and Al doesn't say anything.

Choppa City talk in the back. Tony and Mack go up to them and yell. Tony says Pondo screwed him. Bruce says Pondo is crazy and it's their problem. Mack says they should take this opportunity to beat their @sses. Atiba says let's do it then. They fight and Pondo appears behind a door laughing.

Lineal JCW World Title - Josh Bishop (c) vs Painful Paul

Joel Gertner is with Paul. Caleb Konley is on commentary.

They lock up and JB is shoved down. They lock up again. JB tries shoulderblocks and ends up getting shouldered over. Paul corner splashes him twice. Paul side slams him for 2. Paul goes for the chokeslam. JB eye rakes him and hits chops. JB hits running corner lariats then a corner spear. JB backdrops him.

Jeeves and EC3 pop up behind Caleb. EC punches Caleb and throws him in the ring. EC pounds on him. JB then attacks EC, Caleb and Jeeves. This is ruled a no contest.

Thoughts: We didn't get a lot of this before the bell. And because both guys are so big, it limited what they could do.

Krule then comes in to join the fight. The JWO then come help Paul and join the fight. Choppa City then comes out and joins the fight. "Thunderkiss" Bulk Rogan then comes out and starts dropping everyone with punches. Bulk slams Bruce and lariats Atiba and Tony. Bulk throws Krule and Paul out. Bulk hits punches on Mack and throws him out. Bulk then points at Jeeves and hits punches. Bulk gives him the big boot and legdrops him. Bulk then does Hulk Hogan poses to end the show.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual JCW show for the most part. The non-wrestling segments carried the show while the wrestling segments were average. If you enjoy what JCW usually does, you will probably enjoy this one, but if you are looking for notch wrestling and big budgets, this won't be for you. The Backseat Boyz' tag was entertaining with Bigfoot getting super over. Monroe/Facade wasn't that good. Choppa City's match was longer and could have been a little better. The main wasn't much and ended in a giant brawl. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as the show was fine due to the non-wrestling segment. Non-JCW fans would probably want more out of this one.

WWE Evolve 10/14/2026 Evolve Succession IV

WWE Evolve 10/14/2026 Evolve Succession IV

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/wwe-evolve-1072026.html

Note - Laynie Luck, Cappuccino Jones, Sam Holloway and Marcus Mathers are gone from WWE. Cap and Sam getting cut are big surprises. I never really thought Sam even needed to be in Evolve and WWE was clearly high on Cap for a while.

Note 2 - This went up against WWE Main Event and AEW Dynamite. There were no announcements about this show changing days or times to make room for Main Event and the show appears that it will stay on Wednesdays at 8PM for now.

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

Wnedy Choo says she should be walking in as champ but Nikkita took it away from her. She says she will be the last woman standing.

Nikkita Lyons and Sloane Jacobs talk. Lyons says she will put Choo back to sleep and be the last man standing.

Thoughts: It was a shorter but explosive match. They all did high impact moves here and both guys got slammed pretty good. This was a good battle and one of the best matches both guys have had. This really worked out about as well as it could have and this lived up to expectations. It was an okay match here. Riggins took a hard german on his neck.

Adriana Rizzo (now fired) interviews Harlem Lewis after. He says he loves a good fight. He says Riggins is his toughest challenger so far. Riggins then nails him from behind. Riggins boots him and sends him into the rails and steps. Riggins slams him on the bottom half of the steps and chairs him in the gut. The ref takes the chair from Riggins. Riggins then drops the top part of the steps while Harlem lays on the bottom of steps. We couldn't see it clearly though. Harlem bleeds from the mouth. Riggins says something about it being his ring and the Evolve Title into the camera. Officials check on Lewis.

We see clips of Josiah Jean being signed to WWE ID at a Reality of Wrestling show. Booker T tells him the good news.

Thoughts: It was a fun little match here. Vanta continues to look like a star. Luck had one of her best matches yet against her and it's a shame, because it's going to be one of her last WWE matches since she is now gone. Vanta won as expected.

Adriana Rizzo interviews Elijah Holyfield. Eli says it's no secret he's on his way to the top. He says he knows it and so does Braxton Cole. He says Cole is dumber than he looks if he thinks they are done. Eli wants to run it back. The now fired Marcus Mathers comes out. He says everything he said about Cole is true. He says he took Eli's best shot and he's tough but not unstoppable. He says he can run circles around him and Braxton Cole. Eli says the first punch was a warning and the next one will change his life. It's GAL then comes out and breaks this up for some reason. Gal tells Marcus it's not worth it.

We get a video where they talk about how some of the former and current Evolve wrestlers are doing.

Sloane Jacobs comes out and says everything is perfectly aligned. She says her inspiration makes her 4th title defense at Succession IV. She says it's the woman with a the voice of an angel, the heart of a lion and the presence of a champion. She says she fulfills her prophecy as the last woman standing. She then brings out Nikkita Lyons.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout here. We got a couple of hardcore spots and it was one of Lyons' better matches. There was nothing wrong with this one and they did fine. 

Skylar Rae points at Lyons and Sloane after, seemingly wanting a title shot.

We get an update on Harlem Lewis. Lewis has suffered a serious injury and is out of action indefinitely.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show overall. We had 3 matches and all over delivered. Harlem Lewis is now out though which should change things up and 4 different people on this show have since been fired, which should also change things up going forward. Lewis/Riggins was the match of the night. I'd give this a 7 out of 10. They delivered here. 

AEW Dynamite/Collision 10/14/2026

AEW Dynamite/Collision 10/14/2026

Thoughts: Mark beating Mox was a surprise. It was fine. It was almost all people throwing lariats and chops which is alright by me. Wardlow didn't get to do a ton here, but I assume he's taking it easy as he gets back into things.

Cope puts Josh's earguards on after. Cope says the last few weeks have been difficult. He says after the ladder match at All Out, Christian Cage broke 3 ribs and had collapsed lung 5 minutes into the match. 

Cope says Cage did it for his work ethic and the fans. He says he needed to do soul searching because of it. He says his face isn't on the posters of teenager's walls anymore. He says he's aging out and says 2027 will be his last year in wrestling. He says that's why he has to go for the AEW Title.

Thoughts: I've never been a big Edge/Cope fan. His matches have always been slower paced and not particularly exciting. He's also not really a character I ever resonated with. I'm not too torn up about him retiring.

Don Callis and Brian Cage interrupt. Don says it's been a great night for The Family as Mark Davis pinned Mox. He says Cope might think he won the battle tonight, but Don says he always wins the war. Don asks who he thinks he is. He says people like Cope don't decide on retirements, people like Don tells him how it's gonna be.

KT running lariats him then Cage lariats him for 2. KT flying knees him. KT dragon sleepers him. Cage submits.

Thoughts: I didn't like it that much. They got more time than they really needed. That resulted in them doing bigger moves that weren't sold and the moves meant nothing. The dragon sleeper finish was random too.

United empire and The Brawling Birds are interviewed. Will says he dragged himself from Japan and he wants to see who wins in Clockwork Carnage. Will name drops Samoa Joe. Mike says he's ready for anyone including Will. The Birds talk. Idolo asks how you know to Ciampa if he thinks he can beat him. Will says they are here to show everyone the power of United Empire.

Sabin says AEW has the greatest tag division in the history of wrestling. Sabin says they want to prove they are the best by beating them. Alex says FTR beat The Bucks 3 out of 5 times and they want a title shot because of it. Alex says what if The Guns beat FTR 3 out of 5 times? Alex challenges them to a Best of 5 series. Alex says they should do Match 1 tonight.

Stokeley says no and says it's not happening in Cleveland. Stoke says The Guns had their shot at FTR years ago and disappeared. Stoke says this is a big money match and a dream match/series. He says there's no other place to kick it off than Wrestledream.

Thoughts: I didn't get this segment at all. FTR has a good case for a title shot and just agreed to a Best of 5 series instead with no title shot guaranteed. Meanwhile, The Guns have done nothing here because they haven't been around.

Adam Page's crew does a promo from Grand Slam Paris. Page asks what Swerve thinks he's doing. Page says Swerve tried to drag him through the same hell they have been through. Brody says what he did worked. Brody says they need Page's head in this if they want to be trios champs. Bandido says 2/3 falls means lucha tradition and means putting honor on the match.

Thoughts: Reed didn't do much but big spots and KO didn't do a great job of selling  them. Reed would hit something big then KO would get right after. KO had some weird black stuff in his hair during this match that fell out.

We get a video on MJF being PWI's #1 in the PWI 500.

The New Level and Prince Nana do a promo. Kofi and Creed ask where Swerve is. Nana says Swerve has serious family business to take care of, but he sent a good friend to take his spot. Nana brings in an actor/comedian named Mojo Brookzz. Mojo talks about what he wants to do to Brody King. The New Level try to talk him out of it then head to the ring.

Prince Nana asks Mojo if he's got this and Mojo says he does. Mojo says he's here to make something happen. He says Wrestledream is going down Saturday and says The New Level and Swerve are the trios champs. Mojo takes a random bump.

Thoughts: It was an alright tag. It wasn't Will and Idolo's best work or anything as they didn't do their big moves, but it was fine enough. It didn't really matter who won here. 

Joe gives Will his title belt after. Will then checks on Idolo and helps him out.

Renee tries to interview The Death Riders in the back. Mox throws stuff around as he's mad about losing. Mox yells and says he's in a great deal of pain.

He says Don's vision is working spectacularly. Kyle says they just have to beat The Bucks, which they have done before. Kyle says it's easy-peasy.

Kevin says he's like Jordan, Kyle is like Pippen and Don is like Phil Jackson.

The heels attack Hyan and Dani after. Queen Aminata comes out to chase the heels away with a belt. 

We get an Ilja Dragunov teaser video, though they don't show his face.

Thoughts: DA won as expected here. They did work some limbs a bit but they didn't focus that hard on any of them. DA's much higher on the totem pole so he won here in this random bout. It was acceptable but Darby didn't do anything wild here.

Overall thoughts: It was a 3 hour special that went 3.5 hours. I'm glad I did not stay up to watch all of this. If they are going to run long, it's better if they just start early instead of running past 11:30PM. As always with these specials, there was a lot of stuff that probably could have been cut. The main focus here was building up Clockwork Carnage at WrestleDream. It's essentially a random match though, so there's only so much that can be done with it.

Wrestling wise, almost everything was fine here, though I didn't like Cage/Takeshita or Okada/Reed much. I would maybe say the opener was the best match here. I wouldn't say anyone gave their very best effort here as the PPV is this weekend and no one wanted to get hurt ahead of it. There was a ton of last minute matchmaking here with multiple matches being set up as they just didn't have a lot of time to set stuff up for the PPV. And to be honest with AEW pretty much having a set number of fans that doesn't change all that much, I don't know if it matters.

I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall. There was a bunch of decent wrestling here and it was okay, just nothing was must see.

PP grabs brass knucks but misses the punch. Joe grabs the knucks. The ref sees it but pretends he doesn't. Joe punches PP out with the knucks and pins him.

Thoughts: The ending was a bit bogus with Joe clearly cheating and the ref allowing it, but they sold it as the ref getting payback on the heels for them cheating. The match was acceptable but had a lot of interference from Cesar. Neither guy did anything too crazy here.

Manu gets a piece of paper with money in it, telling him to keep his mouth shut. It also says he's elite. The writer is "the future owner of IWA".

Super Atomo does a promo. He says he and Salazar de la Muerte have unfinished business. He says Sal started this by attacking him for no reason at Summer Attitude. He says he's ready for any problem and says their last battle was a great battle. He says Sal is a great wrestler and is dangerous. He says Sal didn't bring him down but had to cheat to win. He says Sal proved nothing against him and says he seeks revenge. He says he will get even and take the title. He tells him to get ready as the Super Atomo he faced last time will not be the same guy next time. He says he's more prepared than ever to take the title from him. He says they will celebrate in grand style when he wins.

Thoughts: This was Tono's debut so he kind of had to win here. It was similar to the last match with the heels cheating a lot, only they got away with it this time. It was also acceptable and made sense with Pupe getting a comeback in before going down.

Pupe is put on Tono's back and they try to hang him with the cowbell and rope. Niche comes out and makes the save for Pupe.

Pedro Portillo III receives the same note that Manu got with money in it. 

El Dragon Nihan does a promo. He says Ricky Banderas never knew how to answer no matter how many times he asked him. He says the dragon stalks him everyday and he says he has what he wants in the IWA Title. He seas Ricky is shedding tears to anyone who will listen but refuses to understand reality.

He says he's the dragon and the fire that consumes everything. 

Jon Dave Rose does a promo. He says he returned to the IWA 5 months ago looking for a dream. He says it took him 4 years to return to the IWA and said he noticed Matty Ice when he came here. he considered him a mentor and says Matty has conquered the US. He says he dreamed of being a  tag champ and said Matty said he would help him. He says Matt got frustrated and stabbed him in the back in their tag title match. He says Matty showed how shady and how much of a rat he is. He says he will show him where the grease is hidden and tells him he will see him at Golpe de Estado. 

Barbie Boy and Mr. Iguana do a promo. Boy says he knew Pimpi wasn't wrong when he gave him Iguana's number.  Iguana said he doubled up and points to his two titles. Iguana says they have to defend their tag titles. Iguana asks if Pedro wants the titles. He says they will see if Pedro goes back to being the man he claims to be.

Pedro Portillo and Cesar Aldea talk in front of a pc. Cesar says Iguana and Barbie fell for it. Pedro says the titles look ridiculous on them. Pedro says he will reach stardom with him. Cesar says he's been tag champ 3 or 4 times but it will be different this time.

SA superkicks him in the gut and os cutters him. SA goes for the pin and Cesar Aldea gets on the apron. The ref yells at Cesar. Manu brings a chair in and hits SA hard with it in the head. Manu then pins him.

Thoughts: Manu was real stiff here. Like the other two matches on this show, there was a bunch of interference. What we got wasn't bad. I'm surprised they had Atomo lose again after losing to Salazar.

El Dragon Nihan then gets a note with money in it.

Pedro Portillo III takes Barbie Boy's puppet in the back. He says he cares little about what he does and Barbie should care little about what he does. Pedro tells him to get out of his way and says it's his fault he's not Intercontinental champ. Barbie says let's talk about this piece by piece and tells him to show respect to the new IWA Intercontinental Tag champ. Cesar Aldea then hits Barbie from behind. Pedro and Cesar stomp Barbie and Pedro slaps Barbie with his toy. Cesar holds Barbie. Pedro tells him to polish the title as he needs one more in his collection.

Persia Pierce goes up to referees in the back. They say she can't be here and tell her to go to the locker room. Persia gets mad and pushes the refs aside. She then runs into a room, finds La Brava Escobar and attacks her. They fight and the refs break it up.

We see Johnny Cotto riding a motorcycle as sound clips of Savio Vega trash talking him play.

Overall thoughts: All 3 matches were basically the same here. No one did anything too crazy since the footage was a free outdoor show. There was a lot of outside interference in each bout. The work was acceptable enough, but I don't know if we needed to see it three times in a row. We saw videos of more wrestlers receiving mystery envelopes with money in them but we still don't know who is sending those letters. The show was acceptable overall, but it was comparable to a house show. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 overall.
