Thoughts: We've seen this bout a few too many times lately. It was all action as expected. I don't really think either guy is that strong of a face or heel at the moment. It was acceptable, but it's time to move on from this.

Thoughts: Jey won as expected here. I didn't like the spanish fly not meaning anything but they worked alright together otherwise. It got a lot of time and was the workrate match of the night for sure.It was alright but not perfect. As always with Evans, they'll give him a big moment to shine like this, but it's the smaller weekly segments where he loses whatever popularity he got after the big match.

Thoughts: It went as expected with Liv working the leg and Char eventually giving in. It got a lot of time and was slower and dramatic. It was fine but the story made sure there was only going to be so much excitement.

Overall thoughts: Cody/Gunther wasn't great bit it had a lot of twists and turns and it sets up the next PLE main event. The other matches were all fine, just nothing super outstanding. This was all KOTR and QOTR stuff for the most part. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as it was an okay show overall.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. Mexica wasn't that effective or entertaining and the crowd didn't care at all. They didn't do that much lucha and it had a slower pace. It didn't feel like the big match they were hyping it up as.

They hug after and Mexica hits him in the crotch. Mexica jay drillers him then poses on him with the title after.

Mr. Iguana does a promo. he says him and La Yesca are coming to PR and the IWA for Summer Attitude. He says he's here to make history.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 matches here and neither was that good. The crowd was dead and there was some issue with the hard cam as there was a giant black box on the bottom of the screen the whole time. We really didn't get anything but the two matches and no real information on what happened at Legend Mania. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 as it was below average.

Ath hits a top rope diving o-face and pins her.

Thoughts: Ath won as expected here. It was mostly a strike based match without a true story to it. It was acceptable but not some classic match. The crowd didn't get into it until the second half.

Overall thoughts: All but 2 matches were random here and one was just a replay from CMLL. The crowd wasn't that into this and I don't blame them. This had a decent bit of filler and not quite as many foreign guests as you would expect. The opener was maybe the best thing on here. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 as it was rather average and not quite as good as it could have been.

TNA Impact 6/18/2026

Last week's show us here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/tna-impact-6112026.html

We are in Denver, CO. Matthew Rehwoldt & Tom Hannifan are on commentary.

Xia Brookside comes out to talk. She says the fans act like she committed a crime for turning on Lei Ying Lee.

Security breaks it up. Lee spin kicks her in the gut. Lee jumps up on the buckles and nails a guard with a twisting blockbuster on accident when Xia pushes the ref in the way.

We get an "Inside The Music" documentary on AJ Francis. AJ says some people wanted to become an athlete or a wrestler. AJ says he was talented enough to do all of those things.

He says he was put on earth to make sure people who didn't deserve the rights to their own music didn't have access to it. AJ says it hurt that Elijah won't collab with him. He says he was able to accomplish a dream since he had as kid and is a real music mogul. He says he's the guy that owns the music from the guy that doesn't deserve it.

RS corkscrew kicks him and germans him. RS hits flying euros in the corner. DD sits on the top rope and RS hurricanrna's him. RS springboard dropkicks him. RS blue thunder drivers him and wins.

Thoughts: RS won as expected. It was a slower and longer match and it wasn't anything too impressive. I assumed this was some kind of tryout match for Dak, but I don't hink he really impressed or looked as good as he used to. It was an average match here.

The Elegance Brand goes up to Daria Rae's office. George Iceman says he heard there were open spots in Ultimate X. He shows off Mr. Elegance and tries to get him in. Ash says Mr. Elegance is perfect. Daria says she goes off of business, not what the talent says. She says Mr. Elegance does draw so he's in.

Indi nails Ash on the apron after. EB attacks Indi from behind and Mara Sade jumps in. 

Santino Marella and Giovanni Vinci talk. Gio says he didn't come here to be another name and wanted to show the world he's one of the best on the planet. He says he wants to make history at Slammiversary in Ultimate x. Gio asks if he can be in it. Santino agrees since Daria gave "Mr. Elephant" a spot.

Gia Miller talks. Mike Santana interrupts. He says he's tired of Nic Nemeth's games. He says Nic should meet him in the ring so they can do this man to man.

Alisha hits Moose with a kendo stick and Eddie shining wizard's Moose to win.

Thoughts: It was fine. The Hardy's were looking a little older here but this made sense and the action was alright. I do think we need a conclusion on Moose vs The System at some point as it has been going on for a while and hasn't progressed all that much.

Mike Santana comes out. Mike says the people want to see a fight and tells Nic Nemeth to come out so they can handle this. Ryan Nemeth comes out instead. Ryan puts over his brother and Moose says Nic is a b!tch. Nic comes out. He says Mike made the most of his 15 minutes of fame. 

Nic says Mike is on borrowed time. He says Mike can call him what he wants, but he will call him champ at Slammiversary. The crowd chants, "you're a b!tch" at Nic. Mike says he will see him at Slammiversary, spin the block and rip his head off. Mike says he will still be TNA champ.

Thoughts: This was just filler here. Nothing was accomplished except wasting time.

Overall thoughts: It was a very easy episode of TNA to get through. We had 2 decent trios matches matches here but not much else of note wrestling wise. I liked the AJ Francis segment. They way they picked people for Ultimate X was lazy and Cedric Alexander wasn't good in his segment. The final segment was also nothing more than filler and accomplished nothing. I'd give the show a 5 out of 10. It was average for the most part with nothing being that great. Order 4's match was match of the night.

WWE Main Event 5/18/2026

Thoughts: I liked it. It was one of Layla's best matches yet. They all worked pretty well together and kept it interesting without doing too much. I liked the leapfrog over the running shoulderblock spot. This was okay.

Overall thoughts: We had 3 new matches here. The main was the best match of the night with the girls gelling well together and everyone doing a good job. Otis/Lewis was alright but not their best and Kiana/Grace was only acceptable. There's nothing must see here but you can get through this in under 30 minutes and it was a decent enough show.

Thoughts: Kane had a better showing than usual here and what we got wasn't bad. Kane's tope con hilo into the crowd was nice. It was good to see Caleb Konley win and that should make things interesting storyline wise as it will definitely solidify him as the top heel. This should also set up more between Kane and Flowe.

The crowd throws drinks and ice at Caleb after.

We go outside and Barnabus is waiting for the drug dealer with The Outbreak. Barn says he knew the dealer was this guy all along. He says he smells like his mother. Barn says he feels like he is seeing a ghost and says everyone must atone for their actions. Barn says he wants to make things right and says they should just talk. The show ends without us seeing who the mystery person is.

Overall thoughts: It was one of the better episodes of Lunacy. The wrestling was fine and the stories were good as usual. It was easy to watch, a lot went on and it was a bit shorter, which helped it quality wise. I had no real problems with this one and thought it was a good effort. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and I thought this was good.

Overall thoughts: The show ended with a DQ finish and that kind of hurt the overall feel of the show. The show was acceptable overall but nothing was must see. It was nice to see a couple of things followed up on here though. I'd say Tempo/Luther was probably my favorite match on this but it was not great or anything. ROW shows make a little more sense when you can see the whole show live, but the 30-40 minute format of GLORY and PLATINUM shows works better. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as the show was average.
