Jey asks if Solo wants to do this in front of everyone. Jey says Solo knows how to fix this and says Solo needs to fall in line. Solo asks how falling in line worked for him. Solo says it looks like Jey fell off. Solo says Jey was world champ, won The Rumble and beat Gunther. He says that's all out the window and it sucks to be Jey now.

Jimmy Uso comes down and Jey spears Solo for 2 off the distraction. Jey runs into a kick then superkicks Solo. Solo samoan spikes Jimmy. Jey spears Solo. Jey top rope splashes Solo and pins him.

Thoughts: I'm not real sure what the stipulation here means. Does Solo join Bloodline now? The match was average to acceptable. They didn't do anything too wild and the interference didn't add a lot. Solo isn't the most exciting face out there either.

Overall thoughts: The tournament matches were essentially random and filled with midcard guys that I don't particularly care about. Solo is now in full face mode and it seemed to work to some degree, but it means more Bloodline segments on each show and that's not good. The show was light on starpower this week also. I thought the women's match was the best match of the night. I'd give the show a low 6 out of 10 overall as it was okay enough, but it could have been better.

AAA on Fox 8/8/2026 Verano De Escandalo 2026 Part 3

AAA on Fox 8/8/2026 Verano De Escandalo 2026 Part 3

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/aaa-on-fox-822026-verano-de-escandalo.html

We are in Aguascalientes, Mexico. Rey Mysterio, JBL and Corey Graves are on commentary. 

We see various wrestlers arrive.

Cruz rolls up Fis for 2. Cruz step up enzugiri's Fis. Fis top rope gordbusters Cruz. Fis top rope frogsplashes Cruz and pins him.

Thoughts: Fis winning was an upset. Clown got attacked by a masked guy here who appears to be Drake Morreaux. We know it's him because Drake was told on LFG that he was going to AAA months ago. We never got an update on it and since he was still wrestling, we knew he wasn't injured. I had just figured that the plans changed. The match was fine. It was a random one and was full of flying. They hinted towards Cruz possibly being a singles wrestler from now on and we'll see if that happens.

Rey Mysterio does a video. He says Raw will make history on 9/14 when it broadcasts live from Mexico. Rey says he spoke with Adam Pearce and Roman Reigns. He says Roman has agreed to defend his title on the 9/14 Raw and says the challenge needs to earn that opportunity. He says the one way to do this right is by having a tournament with luchadores on Raw. He says the winner can represent all of lucha and Mexico when he faces Roman.  

Jack Cartwheel vs. Noisy Boy

They evade headscissors to start. Jack splits out of a lariat, upkicks Boy and reverse headscissors him. Jack dropkicks him. Jack cartwheel kicks him off the apron. Jack goes for a flying space tiger but is kicked. Boy kneeling springboard cutters him for 2.

Jack flagpole legsweeps him on the ropes and body springboard elbow drops him. Jack then flying space tiger's him outside. Jack corkscrew ssp's him and wins.

Thoughts: It went as expected with them both doing wild flying moves. Jack won as expected and it ended before they could get too crazy. Noisy tends to botch a lot but he had a clean night here when he needed it most. This was fine.

Karmen Petrovic comes down after. Los Perros del Mal then jump Jack and Noisy. Jack takes a big spear then a backbreaker and lariat. Angel whips Jack with a belt. Karmen corkscrew kicks Jack.

Daga gets on the mic after. He says this is what they meant when they said they were getting weak here. Daga says they make the rules and learn from the best. Daga says once a Perro, always a Perro. He then brings out Damian 666 (he was Cicolpe in WCW). Damian comes out with a kendo stick and greets Los Perros. They say welcome home to Damian. Damian then puts a Perros shirt on and a Perros necklace. 

Damian starts a Perros chant and says God forgives but Los Perros don't.

We see the girls get ready for the main event. 

Andrea does a sit down interview with Dominik Mysterio. Dom says he wanted to do a favor for El Grande Americano. He says Grande got in his face before they teamed up and asked if he was with Perros del Mal. He says that told him all he needed to know. He says he told him he had nothing to do with Los Perros and that was the truth. He says everything changed when Grande won the Rey de Reyes sword. He also complains about Grande shaking Rey Mysterio's hand. 

Dom says he left AAA because he wanted to see what Grande would do and become. He says Grande became the national hero of Mexico and got a Mexicano girlfriend. He says Grande's and Andrea's dreams will be ended by him. He says he will show everyone why he's the king of the luchadores and says he will show why Grande is always second behind him. He says Grande will be the 2nd best luchador, the guy with the second best ovations and the guy with the second best girlfriend. He says he will show he is the king of the luchadores.

Dom is asked why he went with Dorian Roldan. He says no one else knows how it feels to have a father jealous of their success. He says Omos backs him up. He says he knows Grande will be there in Torreon and he'll be there too. He says when he's there, there is a giant who won't be far behind.

Liv Morgan comes in and Dom says they are done here. Liv stares down Andrea and they leave.

AAA Reina de Reinas Title Three Way Match - Flammer (c) vs. Lady Shani vs. La Catalina

I suspect Shani is just here to drop the fall.

Cat 2nd rope diving sunet flips LS. They each go for pins. LS backcrackers her. LC bodyscissors rolls Cat up for 2. LS is tripped into the ropes and Cat hip attacks her there. Cat flying knees LS. Flam throws Cat out and pins LS.

Thoughts: Yeah, it went as expected here with Flam picking up a cheap win on Shani. The match was fine without any big issues. The finish worked as it excused Cat for losing and could be used to continue that program in the future.

Overall thoughts: We had 3 matches here and all were fine. Drake Morreaux attacked Psycho Clown in his match and we'll see where that goes. That match was fine. Cartwheel/Noisy was filled with flying as expected and it ended before they got too wild with it. Flammer retained her title in the main and Shani took the fall as expected. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall. It was a fun and easy watch here but there was nothing great on this one. I'd say all 3 matches were of similar quality. This was an okay show.

Thoughts: They were having a decent match and it got bogged down by heel shenanigans. The ref was dumb as usual and did absolutely nothing about wrestlers pulling him away from counts and touching him. This also went to a draw so we didn't get a real finish and that hurt this one too. What I was seeing up until the end when the shenanigans started looked okay, but they didn't give us a proper ending. 

The girls stare down after and hug. They each talk on the mic and raise each other's hands with their stablemates.

Overall thoughts: I thought the undercard was better than the top of the card here. Some of the top GP matches should have been a lot better than they were. I honestly liked Poi/Anne and Tora/Akira best here. I'd give it a lower 6 out of 10 overall and would say the show was acceptable.

Rina talks on the mic after and gets in Aoki's face.Aoki offers a handshake then bites Rina's hand. Rina then talks on the mic to close the show.

Overall thoughts: I like Amasaki/Aya best here. The main was maybe a close second but had a bad finish where Rina cheated in front of the ref and nothing happened. This was a longer show at 2 hours and 44 minutes and a lot of the matches were pretty similar to each other. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall as mot of the matches were acceptable. This show was okay.

LM52 Lucha Libre Mexicana on Discovery Espanol 8/9/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/lm52-lucha-libre-mexicana-on-discovery.html

Leobardo Magadan and Alberto Zamudio are our hosts.

We see Los Hellbrothers arrive in a car. 

The hosts talk for a while.

Thoughts: This was a total buttkicking here. Oro's team got a little in early and nothing else. They got the crap kicked out of them. Rey got dropped hard through a bar table and then landed hard on the floor. It did what it was supposed to and put Los Hellbrothers over as rough heels.

Oro's team all gets their masks taken off after.

Oro's team is down and unmasked in the back. La Puerquiza Extrema go up to them and cover their faces up. 

Pirata Morgan is in his locker room. He talks to someone in a hood. We can't see who that person is and that person doesn't talk. 

Tonali, Demonio Infernal and Pirata Morgan vs Silver King Jr., Electroshock and Dr. Wagner Jr. 

Wagner and Morgan fight in the crowd. Electro and Silver are foot choked in the corners. Electro and Silver are choked over the top rope. Wagner's head is banged off a table.

Rey Bucanero comes out, pulls the ref out and sends him into the pot. Wagner is shocked. Bucanero and Morgan double stomp Wagner. Tonali joins in and Wagner's team wins via DQ. 

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. Wagner and Morgan did their weak brawling in the crowd as usual. The rules didn't make much sense here as the ref didn't mind people using chairs on each other. Electroshock didn't impress here either. Rey Bucanero debuted here and was the hooded guy Morgan talked to.

Electro covers up Wagner after and is beaten up too. Bucanero gets on the mic and has words for Wagner. Bucanero then does a cheer with Morgan. Wagner is beaten up more. Morgan talks on the mic. Bucanero bites Wagner's fingers. Silver King and Electro try to help Wagner. Morgan talks on the mic more and does a cheer with Bucanero. Bucanero throws Silver off the stage and Morgan beats up Wagner in the crowd to close the show. 

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 matches here. Los Hellbrothers beat the crap out of their opponents and looked vicious doing it. That was all squash. The main was the usual Wagner/Morgan match with them doing bad brawling in the crowd. That match didn't impress. We didn't get much follow up from last week and still haven't gotten any on Sagitarius from a few weeks ago. This promotion is all about pushing the Wagner/Morgan feud and that was definitely the focus here. I'd give this a 4 out of 10. It wasn't that good and there's nothing you need to see here.

The last show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wow-women-of-wrestling-5302026-season-6.html

Note - This is the first new WOW episode since May 30th.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. They could have hit some of the shots cleaner but they followed the formula of the heels being in control, the faces making their comeback and then the big finish with some dives at the end. I would not have had The Enlightened lose though as they are established and their opponents aren't. 

Top Tier does a promo. Coach says she wants Glitter to get a definitive win over Keta Rush tonight and accepts nothing else.

Thoughts: The execution could have been a little better but the idea was right and it wasn't bad.

Keta Rush comes out to save Glitter. She dropkicks Coach and Krush out. 

 Thoughts: That's a big turn there. I assume Glitter's going to be replaced because Top Tier has to have at least 3 people in it.

We go to break then Coach Campanelli and Kandi Krush are interviewed. Coach says she sought out the weak link and found it. She says she won't accept anything but wins. She says if you want to be in the greatest team in wrestling, you need to step up.

SG boots her and hits flying forearms. SG forearms her down. SG cartwheel back elbows her in the corner and bulldogs her for 2. The Enlightened come out. Samantha Smart throws her book and PM gets it. SG superkicks the book into PM's face (not really as it got blocked by the book) and SG pins PM.

Thoughts: It was ugly. Little was hit cleanly here and Mayfield was absolutely awful. Nothing she was involved in looked good. They also messed up the finish. Santana winning was really the only result that made sense here.

The Enlightened do their pose at SG after and walk off.

Overall thoughts: It's good to have WOW back. 2 months with no new eps is not acceptable in 2026. There's no reason they couldn't have rented a building like hundreds of other indies do and film from there. The opener was acceptable and Glitter/Keta wasn't bad. We had a big turn after with Top Tier dumping Glitter. The four-way was ugly with lots of things not hitting and Mayfield looking bad. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was average overall, but I'm just happy we got a new episode.
