Thoughts: JP got pinned kind of easy here. It was an okay bout. They worked well together. KJ's split-legged moonsault was nice and I think JP slapped KJ at one point right in the gut.

Wren Sinclair beats up KJ after then pushes the ref down. Wren hits KJ with a kendo stick. Officials come out to separate them.

We see Robert Stone filming a video from yesterday. Moreno and Dar come in. They want Stone to do something about The Creed's. Stone says he brought them in. Moreno says they need The Creed's. Dar says the same and Stone signs it for today.

Thoughts: It got enough time to play out and had a lot of action as expected. The Creed's won and they needed to since they are restarting here. Moreno showed a little more here than usual. This was fine.

Birthright talk in the back. Dempsey says it's time they stop being treated like an afterthought. Regal and Finlay walk in. They say they need to step up. Regal says the issue with Zilla and King isn't done yet. Regal says he a history with Zilla's dad Umaga and he tells Dempsey to bring them a piece of Fatu tonight. 

Mr. Stone talks to Wren Sinclair and asks what's up. Wren says she's tired of being everyone's door mat. Stone says he will have to suspend her and Wren is escorted out.

Charlie Dempsey is in the ring. He says enough is enough. he says he's underappreciated and says he's been substance over style. He says he never sold out. He says when he was asked to join Birthright, it was too good of an offer to pass up. He says they want to mold the business into a proper shape. He says he's supposed to show everyone that he's the best grappler in the company but they all get made to look like fools.

Dempsey says he's sick and tired of being like a joke all the time. He says he won't wait for NXT to take him seriously. He says the company is turning its back on the real wrestlers for failed football players. He says it's time the people who deserve it come and take it. 

He says he knows Zilla Fatu is watching. He says Zilla has something they need and they can make him a star. He says let's start fresh and says they know what it's like to be stuck in your father's shadow. Dempsey says he should come out and accept their offer. 

Zilla Fatu comes out and says the majority of what he said was true. He says he does have a chip on his shoulder. He says he can't grapple with him but can turn it up. 

He says he appreciates the invitation. He says he's not one of the ones but the main one. He says his answer is hell no. Uriah Connors comes out. He says they aren't asking him but telling him. Birthright then group attacks Zilla. Zilla fights them off. Grace slaps him. King chairs Zilla. Fatu takes a 4 person powerbomb through the commentary table. Zilla then gets shirt ripped off.   

Thoughts: Dempsey wasn't bad on the mic but it wasn't quite his breakthrough moment here.

Thoughts: There was a lot of different things going on here and I don't think they really did a great job getting any of it. I'm  just not a big fan of Drake's matches in general and Tavion isn't exactly on the top of my favorites list either. I thought it was so-so. 

Myles Borne appears in the stands. Tav spots him. 

EK Prosper, Cruz Montana and Keanu Carver talk. They argue but Cruz says they all want the title. Cruz says let's lock in so we can fight next week. Stone walks in and wants to make sure they are ready for the match.

Zaria comes out to talk. Zar says someone has always stood in the way of her getting gold. She says she shed Sol Ruca 7 months ago and look at what she has done. She says she was craving redemption and she was finally the one holding 2 titles above her head. She says she will keep being the most dominant women's champion this brand has seen. 

Izzi Dame gets on the riser and interrupts her. She says the entire universe might buy her facade but she doesn't. she says she sees through her fake act. She says she has become everything she hated. She says she wants to show everyone who the real Zaria is.

Thea Hail comes out and says we all agree we don't care about what Izzi said. Thea says she wants the Women's NA title and wants to prove she's a one hit wonder. Zaria says she wouldn't be here without Jaida saying something and says she will always rely on others. Thea says she has a real friend in Jaida. Zaria asks when will she learn. She says she will learn when she gets over Sol. Zaria goes to attack her and is sent shoulder first into the post. Thea kimura's her and Zar taps. 

Thoughts: This one didn't really do it for me. Some of the shots Izzi was taking could have been said about her. They have to be careful about what they say sometimes in these promos.

Myles Borne talks to Hank and Tank. Borne says he made a mistake and jumped the gun. Tank says Borne needs to apologize. Hank says it has to be done face to face. They say it's not the best time for an apology and say he already left. Borne says he will apologize to Tavion face to face next week.  

Thoughts: The Borne/Tavion storyline is an unusual one and we will see where it goes. Do they have the guys to walk it back and just go back to how things were?  

Birthright talk to Regal and Finlay in the back. They give Regal the piece of Zilla's shirt. The Vanity Project come in. Drake says Regal should be proud of them. Regal congratulates them but says Birthright is on the hunt. Dorian Van Dux and Sean Legacy come in and want a title shot. The Creed's then come in and they want a title shot. Cutler James and Osiris Griffin then come in. Everyone argues.

Kali Armstrong is interviewed. She asks who Thea Hail thinks she is by trying to jump the line. Kali says she doesn't need anyone. Lizzy Rain comes in and says she should steal the opportunity like they did a few weeks ago. They argue and officials stop them.  

Winning Team gets a #1 Contender's Match - Mason Rook, Tony D'Angelo and Saquon Shugars vs Cruz Montana, Keanu Carver and EK Prosper

Tony germans Cruz then overhead throws EK. EK comes off the 2nd rope and Tony flapjacks him. SS 2nd rope double stomps EK's back. SS slingshot legdrops EK for 2. Everyone starts hitting a shot on someone. EK back body drops SS. 

EK is thrown into a hurricanrana on SS in a cool spot for a 2 count. We go to PiP break and return. SS does a weird kick on EK. Cruz comes in and gets sent out.

Thoughts: It was a fast paced bout. It didn't quite get the time it needed but it was something different. We had some fresh matchups here and the teams made for interesting moments. It's a shame we didn't get more as what we got was alright and interesting.

Cruz and Carver try to fight but security stops them. Tony yells at Rook and Shugars tries to keep the peace between them. Waller then talks smack in the camera and the winning teams yells at him.  

Overall thoughts: It was a very busy show as usual. The opener was okay. The Creed's tag was alright. Drake/Tavion had too much going on for me. The main was okay and lead to some interesting matchups but I wish they would have given it more time to play out. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 as the wrestling was okay, but things aren't going that well storyline wise. They just have a large group of people who aren't that over and aren't strong characters and that makes everything tough. The show was okay overall though. 

MLW Fusion 9/5/2026 Kings of Colosseum

Thoughts: I didn't like this one too much. Hill was back to being a bit sloppy and they really didn't get the basics down that well here.

Rich Bocchini talks to Don Gato and Jesus Rodriguez after. Gato says through Jesus that this is one of the best nights of his night. CONTRA Unit of Ikuro Kwon and Okumura come out. Okumura says Kwon wants a title shot. Kwon red mists Jesus.

They go over the MLW Opera Cup tournament matches. The Opera Cup begins next week.

We get a graphic about a Taboo Tag Team Tango, which I assume is where the heels and faces team up.

Thoughts: It was basically a squash. Lady didn't do a lot of her more flashier stuff here and mostly just hit boots. It was average. Joy didn't get to do all that much here to show off.

Lady hits mounted shots on her after. Shotzi comes in to stop it. She throws Lady onto the ramp

Josef Samael says Matt Riddle lives a life without cause and has no purpose greater than himself. He asks what happens when the road disappears beneath his feet. He says there's lessons only pain can teach. He says Matt will learn soon from Brick Savage.

Dijak talks to Josh Bishop and says they will run out and do a sneak attack. Josh tells him to stay in the back. Dijak says him and Bishop Dyer know what they are doing. Josh says he's going to win the MLW title and Dijak says he needs to listen to him. We then see Killer Kross smiling behind a door.

Thoughts: It was all squash as expected. Damo didn't sell AE's offense much. AE took a nasty bump for the finish.

The Good Brothers are in Japan. Doc says winning the tag titles 10 times is special. Doc says he knows Josh Bishop will take on Killer Kross. He wonders why of The Skyscrapers they will fight but he says who cares. Doc says they are coming for them. Doc says the recipe works so well as it's a magic killer, a just 2 sweet and a 1-2-3.

Thoughts: It was a decent bout. They had some weapons spots, Josh bled and they didn't do a lot of big moves or take big bumps. Josh also went through part of a table here. I liked the finish and thought it was something different. 

They shake hands after. 

The Taboo Tag Team Tangle match will have Killer Kross and Josh Bishop vs Austin Aries and Mistico.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual MLW show for the most part. Hill/Templario could have been a little cleaner and better. We had 2 squashes in a row. The main was fine with Josh Bishop bleeding all over the place and Josh/Kross having a mostly safe hardcore bout. I'd give the show a higher 5 out of 10. It was acceptable.

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 5/23/2026

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 5/23/2026

Last week's show is here:https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/iwa-puerto-rico-impacto-total-5162026.html

We get some recaps of the Nihan/Vega/Banderas/Tonos situation. We then see Glamour Boy Shane's promo from last time.

We hear some audio clips of Pedro Portillo challenging Luis Perez to a match. Pedro challenged him to come into his ring again and meet him in a fair 1v1 fight.

We see clips from a show called Raymond Y Sus Amigos. Luis Perez is interviewed. He says he's blind but is an athlete. They talk about his judo background. Perez says in judo, they hold each other's gi until someone gets thrown or they fall in love. Perez calls Pedro Portillo III a coward. Perez says he doesn't know if he's accepting Pedro's challenge or not at IWA Legendmania, but he does end up challenging him. 

We then see some comedian in an outfit come out. He says he's the best wrestler. They pull out a mat and the comedian wants to show Perez how to wrestle. Perez STO's him and hip throws him. 

Pedro Portillo III comes out. The comedian tries to keep Perez away. Pedro pushes down the comedian and the comedian pushes back. Perez tells him to answer the challenge. Perez says he'll get his hands on him at Legendmania The crowd just kind of laughs at the whole thing.

Big Tito Lincoln throws a chair at El Gladiador Boricua in the back. He says he told him to stay out of his way. He then chokes him with a chair. He says if he or anyone else gets in his way, they know where to find him.

We see another Luis Perez interview. He says people are expecting great hings from him. He talks about his non-profit group. The interview asks him about Legendmania. He says he challenged Pedro Portillo III to a match and talk about how it came about with Pedro attacking him. Perez says we will see what he is made of and that he deserves respect. 

Pedro Portillo III comes in. Pedro talks about the differences between them and asks if he thinks he can beat him. Pedro says he's blind and says he can't see him but he will feel him. Pedro then slaps Perez. Pedro says he wanted the challenge and he's got it.

We see Big Tito Lincoln beating up Super Atomo in the back. He says he told him to stay out of his business. 

They replay the Mr. Iguana video where he talks about coming.

We get a video on El Mexica. He then does a video. He says Ricky Banderas won't be the only guy coming on 6/6 as he is too. He says he's the innovator of Chicago Strong Style. He says he's coming for Super Atomo's title.

Pedro Portillo III does a promo. He doesn't like being called an abuser. He says Luis Perez tried to draw a line between judo and wrestling. he says Perez is abusing his limitations. He says Perez is blind but has done things normal people haven't gotten to do by going overseas and repping PR. He says Perez cost him his title and Pedro has a bone to pick with him. 

Pedro says the challenge has been issued. He says he will write his name in golden letters and destroy him. He says Perez will find out who he is.

Savio Vega talks to Manu. He says Fernando Tonos do an injustice to him and Manu. Vega says they are upfront with all the truth in the world. He says Shane the Glamour Boy should be ashamed. He says he thought he moved on from wrestling. He says Ricky Banderas is facing Manu. He says Manu is a worthy champ who has what it takes to face anyone. He says Shane and Banderas are legends, but they will be left with a chip. Vega promises to leave them with a disgusting kick to the mouth. He says he will finish them off once and for all. Manu says Banderas is facing a man who has been working 12 years for this moment and is thirsty for blood. Manu tells Shane not to interfere as he doesn't know him and he says he will take him out if he gets in his way. Manu says they will take the IWA to where it is meant to be. Vega says the title is staying with them. 

Banderas says welcome to the world of El Mesias. He says there will be a new story that he will write. He says no matter what excuse El Dragon Nihan has, he swears that Nihan will face him. He says Savio Vega is on the same path. Ricky says the title Manu has will be his. Ricky says he's not alone as he has Glamour Boy Shane with him and he's his lifelong friend. He says Shane has always been with him in his worst moments. He says he will put an end to Vega and his people. He says there will be a new era on 6/6 whether Vega likes it or not. 

Glamour Boy Shane says it's time for Legendmania to close the show.

Overall thoughts: There were no new matches here which I haven't seen IWA do before. That's not exactly something I'd like to see repeated. They should have been able to give us something here since there were a few matches that haven't been aired. This was all about hyping up Legendmania with Luis Perez, Pedro Portillo, Manu, Ricky Banderas and Glamour Boy Shane. They did indeed hype that show up, but it wasn't must see TV. I wouldn't recommend this one since there was no wrestling here. I also won't be rating this since we had no matches.

CMLL 8/7/2026 Grand Prix Internacional 2026

Thoughts: The finish was random. Aside from that, it was The Rey Pegasus Show. He did all kinds of neat flying moves, he hit them clean and he looked very good here. Kato didn't bring a lot to this one and failed to stand out as usual. It was an acceptable opener.

Thoughts: It was a weird one with Flip being on the heel team and Dif being on the face team here. We had a lot of flying and what we got was okay enough. It was unusual to see Flip get booed.

Thoughts: It was basically a tornado tag here with people doing whatever they wanted. They all hit their usual spots here. That tower of doom spot wasn't done well and didn't make a lot of sense. I thought it was average. 

Claudio Castagnoli does a promo. He says we are looking at the winner of the 2024 Grand Prix and the winner of tonight's Grand Prix. He says there's no one in Mexico that can beat him.

Mistico then does split screen promo. He says the best team represents CMLL. He says he will show him what Mexico is made of and says the cup is for Arena Mexico.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. It was a slower match than it should have been and not quite as exciting as I thought. It wasn't bad, just it could have been better.

Thoughts: Hech winning was a surprise since he's not usually the most pushed guy. It was a long one as expected at 73:54. It needed to go a while so everyone could get some stuff in but it still probably didn't go long enough for everyone to do their best stuff. As always with these, people came in and out then we moved onto the next set of guys, who did their sequence and then got out. Bandido and Soberano fighting was the big news out of this one. What we got was fine and all but work wise, wasn't super memorable. The work was fine and it made enough sense, just it wasn't great.

Hech's team celebrates with him after. The foreign team comes out and claps but isn't super thrilled.

The announcers then close the show.

Overall thoughts: The opener was acceptable with Rey Pegasus looking good. Flip Gordon's match was okay enough but it was unusual as some of the face/heel roles were reversed. The women's tag match was average. The Villanos match was acceptable. The main went long as expected. It got a lot of time but we didn't really get to see anyone go all out and they didn't have any wild dive train sequences or anything like that. It was okay but it could have been shorter or had less people and not much would have been lost. I would give it a 6 out of 10 as the show was okay enough, but it wasn't great.

WWE Monday Night Raw 9/7/2026

WWE Monday Night Raw 9/7/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/wwe-monday-night-raw-8312026.html

We are in Birmingham, AL. Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore are on commentary.

The Uso's arrive in a car and have weapons. We more wrestlers arrive.

We see clips of Sunday Night's Main Event.

The Vision come out to talk.

Bron says The Vision is here, is complete and they run WWE. Bron says Oba isn't medically cleared and isn't coming. Bron says he took his spot as the future of WWE last night.  He says it's all because of Bronson Reed.

Reed said Oba thought he was untouchable. He says Oba calls himself The Ruler but found someone who doesn't recognize the crown. He says Oba took multiple tsunami's. He says there's no place for Oba on Monday nights. He says The Vision doesn't ask, they decide what goes on around here. 

Logan Paul insults the crowd and says they are unstoppable. Austin asks, "Oba Who?". Austin says the crowd hates to see them shine but they are getting started taking all the gold. Austin says Bron will qualify for MITB and says Dupri will be in a qualifier. Max says the people are jealous.

Akira Tozawa comes out. Austin asks how many times he has to smash Akira's head in and says he could let Dupri handle him. Akira says he will be fighting, but not against him. Otis then comes out. They say he was out but he's never on Raw so it's hard to know.

Otis vs Austin Theory

Otis lariats and throws AT twice. Otis hits him in the gut and corner splashes him. At rolls into a lariat on him. AT hits mounted shots. Otis suplexes him. AT flying forearms him for 2. AT guillotines him. Otis bodyblocks him then bodyblocks him outside. 

We go to break and return. AT rolls into a lariat and a spinning back elbow. Otis pop up drops him and slams him. Otis goes for a caterpillar but Reed elbow drops him and causes the DQ.

Thoughts: It was short and not much of note. Otis hit some hard bodyblocks and Austin did a lot of rolling. I hope we're done with this Vision vs Alpha Academy feud. It has gone on too long, it has been one sided and it didn't accomplish much.

Tozawa and The Vision get in and Alpha Academy gets beaten up. Bron spears Otis. Reed death valley drivers Akira. We then see Oba Femi heading to the ring. Someone tries to stop him and reminds him that he's not cleared. He shoves him aside. 

Oba comes in and beats up The Vision. Oba punches a chair into Austin's face and backdrop throws him. Bron spears Oba. Bron spears Oba again and Reed splashes him. Reed top rope splashes Oba. Officials then come to break this up. Bron spears Oba again. Red hits another top rope splash. The Vision then poses and walks up the aisle. 

Royce Keys and OTM do a video. Royce says it's not about family but loyalty. He says to look at the play he can call. He says nobody is safe. He says it's not a game and they live in the streets. He says nobody is safe.

The Uso's talk to Fatu. Fatu says Keys' crew wants them to go out and fight them. Fatu says they've got it locked down by Keys and friends have nothing to lose. Fatu says they spilled The Uso's blood and he knows how they are rollin'. Jimmy says they will get them today. Jey tells Fatu to call the play. Fatu says to lay low, play it slow and their next move better be their best move.

Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch talk in the back. Becky says they keep getting off on the wrong foot. Becky says Steph can wrestle as champ at home this week or she can wrestle at home without being champ. Becky says there's 5 of Judgment Day and 1 of her. Becky wants the first title shot if she helps her. Steph says she has to do everything on her own and won't ask for help as the other person always betrays her. 

Jackie Redmond interviews Matt Matthews in the crowd. He says it' an honor to be here in his hometown. The Miz and Kit Wilson interrupt. Miz says time is earned and complains about them giving his air time to this yee-haw from Alabama. Kit says Matt and Alabama need to show class. Kit says if Matt disrespects Miz, he's toxic. Matt tells Miz he knows who he is but thought he was retired. Miz throws him over the rails. Matt flying headscissors Kit in the ring. Miz hits a skull crushing finale on Matt and the segment ends.

MITB Qualifier - Bron Breakker vs Ethan Page vs Rey Mysterio

Bron speared Miz and Kit at the same time during the break then he speared Matt Matthews in the ring.

Page tries to make friends with Bron and is hit. Bron throws Rey onto Page. Rey gets on Bron's back and Page punches Bron. Bron running lariats Page. Bron germans Page.  Rey top rope diving headscissors Bron. Rey headscisors Bron into the post. 

Bron catches Rey's 619 on Page and drops him chest first on the rail top. Bron overhead suplexes Page over the top. Bron flying lariats Page over the commentary table. Rey la silla's Bron on the commentary table from the rails. 

We go to break and return. Page gets a 2 count on Rey and dropkicks Bron off the apron. Page pulls Rey's arms back. 

Rey stomps Page's foot and Page tilt-a-whirl backbreakers him Page backdrops him for 2. Page pump kicks Bron on the apron. Bron fireman's carry gutbusters Page. Bron misses a spear outside when Page leapfrogs and Bron goes into the steps. Rey bangs Page's head off the buckles and enzugiri's him. Rey top rope la silla's Page. Rey springboard spinning headscissors him. Rey casadora bulldogs him for 2.

Rey la magistral's Page for 2. Page yanks Rey into a powerslam for 2. Rey rolls Page into the ropes and 619's him. Bron stops Rey up top. Page is seated on the top rope and has Rey in the fireman's carry position. Bron walks up the buckles and headscissors them both down.

Bron lariats Page over the top then spears Rey for the pin.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout here. They put in a good effort and the hurricanrana spot from the top was very creative. Bron won as expected here. It could have maybe been a bit better though. I was surprised they had Bron spearing people during the break instead of outside of commercial time.

LA Knight talks to Adam Pearce. He says whoever wins out of Penta vs Roman is his. He says he will do things his way if he doesn't get it. Adam agrees to give him the winner of that match.

Adam leaves and Solo Sikoa comes in. Solo says Keys' crew needs to get The Bloodline and get them now. LA says he doesn't want to get caught up in all that. He says they can pick the bones once they do all that stuff. Solo says he's not waiting anymore and points to the bandage on his head. Solo says Keys said no one is safe and he asks LA if he has his back or not. LA says he does but says they need to be smart about it. Solo says he doesn't know if he can wait.

Penta does a video. He says he knows all Roman has done in WWE. He says he respects him but doesn't fear him. Penta says he has made the impossible possible his whole life and will do it in Mexico. He says it's for his family and country. He tells Roman welcome to his home. He says Roman isn't just facing him, the whole country is supporting him. Petna says they will give Roman a fight the world won't forget. He says it will be Penta's night.

We get a Lola Vice 9.14 video that says, "Everyone's got a vice".

Women's MITB Qualifier - Sol Ruca vs Maxxine Dupri vs Lyra Valkyria

Sol takes down Lyra. Max rolls up Sol. Max high kicks Sol and Sol is double lariated over the top rope. Lyra elbows Max in the neck. Max double leg takedowns her. They bridge up together and Sol sentons both.

Thoughts: It could have been a disaster but it didn't go that bad at all here. Somehow Max has learned the ocean cyclone suplex. Sol's sol snatcher as hit well here. Bayley returning was a surprise as it seemed like she might be headed to AEW.

Bayley hits mounted shots on Lyra after. Bayley running knees Lyra. Bay AA's Lyra on the floor. Bay tried to put her through a table but Lyra escapes.

Joe Hendry does a video mocking JD McDonaugh. He says he was born in Ireland with the world's largest head. He signs a little and says JD's dad is a giant funko pop. We then see a JD with a giant head. The fake JD hugs the funko pop.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one and it was very average. There wasn't much to this at all and the funko pop spot was the big moment on this one.  Joe Tessitore trying to hype the funk pop stuff as the funniest thing ever made it a lot less funny.

Joe puts the funko pop head on after. 

Becky walks in the back. Liv asks if he's listening to her advice to go home and be a mommy. Liv says she's not worried about her and Steph teaming up as Becky is selfish and no one likes her or her husband.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. Thankfully Liv won here as I think that was the better result. SV didn't lose clean so they can run this one back again if they need to. There wasn't much of a story or anything but they didn't have a bad outing.

Big Cass does a video. He says he's been stacking bodies but he came here to win titles. He says he is everything that a champion should be. He says if he walks into any place, everyone wonders who he is. He says soon enough, they will all find out.

The Uso's ask Fatu what the play is. Jey says they trusted him to run the play. Jey and Jimmy want to go fight and they head to the ring with weapons.

The Usos and Fatu are in the ring. Jimmy says they are in your city. Jey says they and Keys' crew know where they are at. Jey says they are right here.

Keys gets on the tron and shows beaten up security guards on the ground. Keys' crew finds The Uso's car and smashes it. They pour gas on the car then light it on fire. Keys says, "ain't nobody safe". The show then ends.

Thoughts: This was a lackluster ending. We didn't even get a big explosion.

Overall thoughts: Otis/Theory was short and not much of note. That feud should have been done with a long time ago. Bron Breakker's 3-way was okay. The Women's MITB Qualifier went better than expected and wasn't bad. Hendry/JD was short and average and was focused on the funko pop stuff. Liv/Steph was acceptable. The main event segment wasn't that exciting and wasn't a good way to end this. I'd give this one a 5 out of 10. It was acceptable and it was mainly for the wrestling. It was not for the final segment or the funko pop stuff. This one was all about Bloodline vs Keys' crew and The Vision. 

WWE LFG 9/6/2026 Season 3, Episode 24

Thoughts: It got a little more time than it needed to. It was more on the average side of things. Kam and Lewis do love to nail each other with power moves though and that was cool.

Kam says it was one of the most fun matches of his career. Lyons says it was a blast. Natalya loved the match. Lewis hugs his dad and his dad looks a lot like him in many ways.  Shawn Michaels says they all looked comfortable.

Overall thoughts: This was the season finale of LFG. There's been no announcements on Season 4 yet, so we will see what happens. The show was fine. It was a different episode than usual with the talent not being coached so much. I like the Lyons/Armstrong match best. It was nice to finally see some of the WWE World matches we didn't get to see during Mania Weekend 2026. I had wondered all throughout that weekend what the deal was and now we know - they were saving those bouts for LFG. The show ended with a happy ending and it made you feel good to see some of the people on here get called up to NXT. I thought Season 3 was the best season of LFG yet as the shows were shorter and there wasn't any of the worked-shoot stuff that hurt the first 2 seasons. It still isn't a must see show or anything but it's neat to see what goes on at the PC. This felt like a series finale as most of the cast has either made it to NXT/Evolve or been fired, but we will see what happens. 

WWE LFG 9/6/2026 Season 3, Episode 23

WWE LFG 9/6/2026 Season 3, Episode 23

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/wwe-lfg-8302026-season-3-episode-22.html

The next show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/wwe-lfg-962026-season-3-episode-24.html

Note - WWE fired a bunch of LFG wrestlers before this show aired. Zena Sterling, PJ Vasa and Braxton Cole were cut. The cuts were surprising considering how hyped up some of these wrestlers were on this show. The lesson to me has been just to keep in mind that guest coaches like Booker T, Natalya, Bubba Ray and Kevin Owens have no real say in what goes on and their opinions don't really seem to matter all that much to the WWE heads. And that's a shame because I know Natalya, Booker and Bubba know what they are doing.

Matt Bloom, Bubba Ray Dudley, Booker T and Kevin Owens talk. Bloom says we have 3 more WWE World spots to fill. Bubba has Romeo Moreno vs Harley Riggins. Bloom says Shawn Michaels was happy with Romeo's recent match and says Harley is getting too goofy and Shawn doesn't like it. Booker has Dorian Van Dux vs Kam Hendrix. Bloom says Kam is doing the right things and Shawn is noticing Kam. Booker says the clock is ticking on Kam. Bloom says he sees tons of potential in Kam. Kevin Owens has Tristan Angels and Myka Lockwood vs Tate Wilder and Kali Armstrong. Bloom says he's excited to see what they can do. Bloom says Kali is the diamond of this season and Myka wants the spot. Bloom says the fans don't see a mixed tag much and calls it a gimmick match. Booker refuses to do the "hands in" cheer like usual.

Romeo Moreno says getting to Mania is his dream. Harley says he was concerned when Jax Presley got hut that they would have nothing for him.

Romeo asks Bubba what he wants to see. Bubba tells him he wants him to get over. He says heat, sell and blow a comeback. He says he wants Harley to take Romeo's head off and he wants to see Romeo work from underneath. Harley says Bubba wants him to be tough and a bad@ss with no goofy stuff.

Romeo Moreno vs Harley Riggins

We are at the Evolve Arena for this.

Romeo rolls into an HR facekick. HR uppercuts him and chops him. HR corner spears him and dumps him over his shoulder. HR basement dropkicks him in the side of the head for 2. RM hits forearms and HR hits him in the throat. HR tilt-a-whirl slams him and 2nd rope twisting swantons him for 2.

Bubba says, "there's something to Harley". Booker says, "I wish I had 4-5 of those guys in ROW". HR chops RM. RM back elbows him and boots him in the face. RM rolls into a dropkick on him.

Thoughts: It wasn't anything too special. Jax returned which was cool. They didn't get a ton of time and Romeo didn't really impress me as usual.

HR and Jax hug in the ring after and HR raises his hand.

Bubba talks to Harley and Romeo after. Romeo says he was happy with the match. Harley says he had a good time and says Romeo is very communicative out there. Bubba says they did a good job. He says Romeo did a better job of selling and showed his face more.

Bloom says the pacing wasn't there. Romeo says he wants to get a good connection going with everyone and says he and Harley can get some good things going.

Booker T works with Kam Hendrix and Dorian Van Dux on their match. Booker says Kam has too many ideas but he sees the light bulb about to go off. Kam says this is his last chance after 3 seasons on NXT. Booker says Van Dux is picking things up quick. Dux says Booker is so cool and he's happy to get advice from him.

Dorian Van Dux vs Kam Hendrix

Kam hits Dux's arm and wristlocks him. Dux jumps up to the top rope, seated springboard and flips. Dux armdrags him and springboard dropkicks him. Dux dropkicks him through the ropes. Dux jumps up to the 2nd rope and Kam drops him body first on the top rope. Kam flying forearms him.

They trade more shots and double crossbody each other. Dux 2nd rope twisting crossbodies Kam then flying shoulders him. Dux corner splashes him. Dux running lariats Kam for 2. Dux top rope moonsaults and Kam kicks him in mid-air. Dux has a bad landing and Booker gets scared on the monitor in the back. Kam backdrop uranage's him and pins him.

Thoughts: What we got was alright enough. They put out a decent effort. Just it was a shorter, cold bout and there's only so much you can do with that. Dux definitely did have a bit of a close call on his landing.

Booker T talks to Kam and Dux. He says this was Kam's coming out party. He says it was his best showing. Booker says Dux is a good listener and says the best listeners are the best workers. Booker says he thought they were successful. Kam says he thought he took the feedback from the coaches into the match.

Bloom talks to Kam and Dux. He complains about Dux's selling. Bloom says if Dux can't sell, he won't get on TV (Boy do I wish that was true). Bloom says Dux is great athletically but if he can't sell, he does nothing for Kam. Bloom wants Dux to focus on the selling and storytelling. Dux says Bloom wants the best for him. Bloom then tells Kam he's proud of him and says Shawn is noticing him a lot lately. Bloom says Kam has been selected for Vegas. Kam is happy.

Tate Wilder says he's teaming with Kali Armstrong tonight and it'll be a show with her. Kali says her and Tate are similar. Myka Lockwood says the match was Tristan's idea. Tristan Angels says his back is hurt from carrying Season 3 of LFG. Trist says he's called a lunatic but says you have to be if you are a wrestler.

Owens talks to those 4. He says the match is out of the ordinary and needs to be fun. Owens says these matches are tough as the women and men can't wrestle. He says the women get away with hitting the men though. Owens says Myka and Kali to do some hoss spots. 

Tate says pressure is a privilege. Tristan says they hyped  this up so it's on him to make this special.

Tristan Angels and Myka Lockwood vs Tate Wilder and Kali Armstrong

We are at the NXT Arena for this. 

TA gets on Myka's shoulders on his way to the ring. 

Myka and Kali go at it. Myka takes her down and wristlocks her. Kali rolls and kips up to escape. Kali side headlocks her. Myka shoulders Kali over and does her dance. Kali hurricanrana's Myka for 1. Myka does an unusual bridge to get up that looks impressive.

TA tags in and blocks Kali's tag. Tate pushes TA over Kali then flying shoulders him. Tate backdrops TA then asai moonsaults him. TA double throat thrusts him.

Thoughts: It was a fun tag as expected. Tristan and Myka have had an LFG specific storyline all year and it paid off here with them finally getting to team up. We had some nice highspots here and everyone looked good. Tate and Kali were more of a fun team that I expected they would be.

Tate says that's how you finish LFG Season 3. Shawn Michaels puts over the match and says it was awesome. We see Shawn go crazy for Myka's sell at the end. Bloom says the match was awesome. Owens says it rocked. Owens says it was his favorite match of the season.

Tristan calls it true love but Myka isn't buying it. Owens tells Tristan the match was great and says he killed it. Tristan says the love story with Myka is too good not to be brought back down the line. Shawn tells Kali she has been doing a fantastic job and invites her to wrestle at WWE World. 

Overall thoughts: Moreno/Riggins was nothing too special but Jax Presley returned during it. Kam/Dux was alright enough. The main was a lot of fun as expected and one of the better matches of the season. It was a nice pay off to the Tristan/Myka story that has been exclusive to LFG. It was an okay show and followed the usual format for this show this season.
