WWE Main Event 4/2/2026

GW blocks destino and punches him. They trade shots and Lee rebound germans him. Lee superkicks him. GW spinning forearms him and is pump kicked. Lee hits destino and pins him.
Thoughts: I feel like I've seen this one a few times. It was a decent bout as expected with them doing a lot of flying and athletic maneuvers before going home. This got enough time as well.

JD wristlocks him. Akira rolls out and side headlocks him. JD hammerlocks him then Akira flying snapmares him. Akira hits leg kicks then hits chops. Akira 2nd rope diving headscissors him. Akira dropkicks him out of the ring. JD trips him then slingshot tornillo's splashes him inside.

Thoughts: Like the opener, it was a good juniors match. They didn't overdo it, they had some nice highlights and they went home before it got stale. This was a very nice and clean bout and I thought they did well with it. They got the pacing down good here. Akira fired up at one point while grabbing the ropes which was a neat way to pump up the crowd even when not really doing anything of note.
Wrestlemania Intercontinental Title Ladder Match Qualifier - Je'Von Evans vs Rayo Americano
Evans evades him to start and hits a great dropkick. Evans suplexes him then struts. Evans seated springboard headscissors him. Evans goes to run the ropes and Bravo Americano gets in his way. Evans then takes a Bravo enzugiri.

Thoughts: Like the last match, it was another short bout with some flying. We got some nice spots, Bravo picked up some heat and Evans got the win as expected. I liked it and there was nothing wrong with this.
Wrestlemania Intercontinental Title Ladder Match Qualifier - Otis vs Rusev
Rusev shoulders him. Rusev then hits punches and kicks. Otis hits running lariats. Rusev jumps up and Otis dumps him overhead. Rusev boots him out of the corner. Rusev stomps him. Rusev spinning heel kicks him for 2.

Thoughts: We've seen these two have good bouts before but they didn't get enough time and it was little of note. Rusev won rather easy here and we never really got the hoss wrestling I was hoping for. This was nothing.
Overall thoughts: We actually had some matches with stakes to them here which is very rare for this program. We also had 4 matches here compared to the 1 match we got a few weeks ago. I enjoyed the show. We had a bunch of shorter but entertaining bouts. We got some highlights and it was a good appetizer to make you want to see more. I thought it was a fun 40 minutes of wrestling and I'd recommend it. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.
Reality of Wrestling 3/29/2026 PLATINUM Episode 25
The last show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/reality-of-wrestling-3222026-glory.html
BDE and Will Allday talk in the back. Will says he hopes BDE knows what he's getting into. BDE tells him to be careful out there. Will tells him this is real life and not WWE2K. He says everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

AJ euros him. JF enzugiri's him. AJ half-nelson suplexes him for 2. JF sleepers him. AJ jawbreakers him. JF slingblades him and running dropkicks him in the corner. JF over the back fameassers him for the win.
Thoughts: It was one of JF's better showings here. He was jumping around and moving well and did it with simple and safe offense. Ajaxx mainly had to put him over in this. This was a good opener.
Fallyn Grey is interviewed. She pretends she doesn't know who Mia Friday is. She says she's indifferent and ready to make her bleed. She says she's a fallen angel and when you put a god against an insect, call her RAID because that's a vermin.
Max Castellanos comes out to talk with his girl. He talks about his recent wins. He says tonight is the celebration of the death of La Familia. He says he will celebrate with a cigar. Jay Alexander comes out with an eye patch (Max's girl put a cigar in his eye). Jay tells him he didn't kill him. Jay then runs in and hits shots. He spinebusters Max which sends him out.

Thoughts: It was a good bout. Fallon hit her offense clean and Mia had a strong night here. She was a likeable face in this one and was a bit athletic here. Fallon is already signed to WWE ID and she will be one to keep an eye on in the future.
Will Allday vs BDE
It's a weird scenario here as BDE is the bigger star but Will is better than he is.
Will waistlock takedowns him. Will fton facelocks him and rolls him. BDE wristlocks him. Will flips out of it using the ropes and wristlocks him. BDE kips up out of it. Will rolls and cartwheels out of a wristlock. BDE flips out of a fireman's carry. BDE hits some armdrags then Will armdrags him.

Thoughts: It's a shame we didn't get a clean finish here as what we got went well. They had a fun high flying match and Will had a good night. BDE got splatted hard on the floor when Will tope'd him.
Ryan hits punches on Will. Ryan then punches him out with a chain.
Overall thoughts: This was a good ROW show. All 3 matches were entertaining and everyone had a good night here. It only went 33 minutes as well so it was a quicker watch. I enjoyed this and it couldn't have gone much better than it did. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall.
EPW Wrestling 3/28/2026 Episode #235
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/epw-wrestling-3212026-episode-234.html
Gene Jackson and Joey Gross are on commentary.
Tonight has the big title match between Dorian Vain and Aaron Roberts.
EPW Commissioner K-Swiss comes out. He wants Daniel Nova out here right now. We go to break and return. Jaxx Roxx talks to K-Swiss. Swiss tells Nova to come out here like the man he claims to be. Swiss accuses him of being scared and says he's not so tough, just like his father.
Daniel Nova comes out. He says he doesn't care about the show or TV, he just cares about sticking his foot up his...He then grabs him and goes to hit him. Moses Cain grabs Nova from behind with a choke. Swiss asks how Nova likes that. Swiss says this is about him and Nova. He says everything he says is true. He says he made EPW better and made the company what it is. He says Nova is his father's son but will never be his father.
Swiss says the best thing Nova's dad did for the company was disappear. He says he's glad he's gone as now he can destroy the last bit of his dad. He says now he gets to destroy Nova. Swiss says he will always be better than Nova's dad. Swiss says he is EPW and says this is his show and this is a place where Nova's family doesn't belong. He says this is a fight Nova can't win. He tells Nova to remember what just happened.
Thoughts: The main problem with this one was that if you didn't see the tweets that started this, you wouldn't know what happened. And I didn't get to see the tweets so I didn't know. A photo of the tweets would have helped a lot. From what I can gather and remember, Nova's dad Bonecrusher was an authority figure in EPW. He passed away recently. I think he had issues with K-Swiss, and that's what Swiss was referencing here. Swiss did a good job as the heel though here and did what he was supposed to.
Marko Harris vs Kale
They go to fight and Grayson Pierce's music hits. Pierce doesn't coem up. Kale tries to roll him up for 2. Marko rolls him up for 2 and dropkicks him. Marko slingblades him for 2. Marko hits chops and boots in the corner. Kale flatliners him into the buckles and facekicks him. Kale backdrops him for 2.
Kale stomps him in the corner and stands on him there. Kale stomps his foot, hits kicks and pele kicks him. Marko hits a big lariat. We go to break and return. Marko hits an ushigoroshi for 2. Kale pale kicks him.
Marko blocks a knee to the face and germans him. Marko 2nd rope so cutters him and wins.
Thoughts: The story here was that Marko was upset by Grayson Pierce's music hitting, so he wasn't on his game. They were successful in selling that to me as Marko got whooped for the first half of this. Kale didn't have a bad showing but I don't know if it was what it could have been.
EPW Women's Title - Lil Bit (c) vs Raven Black
Nyxx is on commentary for this.
RB throws her off the lock up and throws her down. RB catches her crossbody and slams her down for 2. RB short arm lariats her. RB sleepers her on the apron and takes a jawbreaker over the 2nd rope. Bit trip her and chinlocks her. RB waistlock throws her down.
Bit stunners her then crossbodies her for 2. Bit is caught and spinebustered for 2. Bit's face is banged off the mat. RB grabs her beer bottle and goe to hit Bit. Makkari Kandy comes out on the apron. RB challenges her to get in. RB swings the bottle at her. Kandy drops her with a forearm for the DQ.
Thoughts: This was mostly based around the Black/Kandy feud here which is fine and makes sense. RB threw Bit around before the DQ. They really should get Lil Bit more involved if the show if she will stay champ as she hasn't gotten to do much besides matches.
EPW World Title - Dorian Vain (c) vs Aaron Roberts
AR doesn't come out for his entrance. DV calls for the bell to ring and asks the ref to count him out. The ref counts to 10 and Vain wins by forfeit/countout.
Thoughts: Well, something is going down here and we will have to see what that is. I was looking forward to that match though and it's not fun when you don't get what you were promised.
Dorian Vain does a promo after. He says he told people Aaron was scared of him and it's the truth. He says he would thrive in any era and is the man. He says he would have main evented with Bockwinkle, Gagne, The Von Erich's and would have whooped Bruno Sammartino.
He says he's why people show up. He says he's not like everyone in the back. He says people like Aaron are scared of him and says Aaron goes to the back of the line. He says that's an executive order.
Overall thoughts: We didn't get the main event we were promised so it's hard to give this a good rating. Yes, we will see it eventually, but that doesn't help us today. We only had 2 matches here. Kale/Harris was based around Harris being distracted and mostly being dominated before picking up the win. We also had a women's match that furthered the Raven/Makkari feud. True, all of this does make sense and did serve a purpose but sometimes that can hurt the matches and that's what happened here. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as I was disappointed by the main event. I wouldn't recommend it, but this show is definitely building to a bigger show down the line.
AEW Collision 4/2/2026
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/aew-collision-3282026.html
Note - This show ran on a Thursday at 8PM, competing against JCW, WWE Main Event and TNA Impact. They did not have a Ring of Honor show this week due to this show being on.
We are in Winnipeg, Canada. Tony Schiavone, Excalibur and Nigel McGuinness are on commentary.
AEW Continental Title Eliminator Match - Jon Moxley vs Anthony Bowens
I lost my review of this due to technical problems. It was a longer match and not that good. Bowens really didn't bring much to the plate here. They did some weak brawling to start things and Mox worked the arm for a bit before winning with a high angle death rider ddt.
Will Ospreay comes down and hits a hidden blade on Mox. He then pounds on him. Will grabs a chair and The Death Riders save Mox. The Riders leave. Will grabs Mox's title that he left in the ring. Will says he's done hearing from him and just wants his neck. He says he will see him at Dynasty. He says no one can be at ringside during Continental Title matches for 20 minutes. He says he can do a lot of damage in 20 minutes. He then tells him to come pick up his title and calls him a little b!tch.
Okada, Mark Davis and Andrade talk. Okada tells Mark he can get revenge for what happened to Kyle Fletcher in the match against The Rascalz tonight. He says Kyle is his best friend unlike Takeshita. He says Mark has a better partner in Andrade than Kyle. Okada says Andrade is a future champ and he will be watching closely.
Divine Dominion (Lena Kross & Megan Bayne) vs Ava Lawless & Kristara
Kris and Meg lock up. Meg waistlock takedowns her then shoulders her over. Meg corner splashes her then overhead belly to belly suplexes her. LK pump kicks Ava. The jobbers take double fallaway slams and corner splashes. Meg and LK hit stereo lariats.
Ava takes facekicks in the corner then Meg germans her. Ava stops a double chokeslam. Kris takes a claymore kick into a german. Ava takes a double chokeslam and is pinned.
Thoughts: It was a quick squash and not much more with the heels winning as expected with ease.
The Death Riders do a promo. Mox says he's not surprised by Ospreay's behavior but is surprised he's challening him for the Continental Title. Mox says Will wants him to believe he's 100% and he says that's a bluff. Mox says they are about keeping the sport pure. Mox says to expect no mercy with the Continental Title on the line. He says he doesn't have to beat Will as Will will beat himself.
The Hurt Business do a promo, making their return to TV. MVP says they are here. MVP says it's time to add someone to the ranks. He says they are back in business and business is about to pick up.
Thoughts: With The Hurt's being older guys and them just having to take a break due to injuries, adding a third member is a good idea.
AEW TBS Title Match - Willow Nightingale (c) vs. Hikaru Shida
This is basically an open challenge. Shida hasn't been around for a long time due to unknown reasons.
They shake hands. Willow backs her up on the ropes on the lock up. Willow shoulders her over. Shida shoulders her over. Shida is tripped on the buckles. Willow hits corner lariats on her. Shida flying knees her in the corner then kicks her in the back.
Shida bodyscissors her. Willow pounces her. Willow cannonballs her off the apron outside. We go to PiP break, full break and return. They fight on the apron. Shida high kicks her off the apron. Shida jumps off a chair outside and flying knees her. Shita hits mounted shots in the rail corner outside.
Shida top rope diving meteora's her inside for 2. Willow spinebusters her then sunset flips her for 2. Willow death valley drivers her for 2. Willow misses a top rope moonsault and Shida running knees her for 2. Shida running knees her again for 2. Willow backslides her and pins her.
Thoughts: Willow picked up the win as expected. Shida lost in her very random return to get herself on a real hot streak. It was a decent match mostly due to Shida.
Shida grabs her stick after and teases hitting Willow with it but doesn't.
FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) vs London Lightning & Mo Jabari
This is LL's 3rd or 4th AEW/ROH appearance by now. Someone in the back seems to like him.
Dax backs up LL in the corner and slaps him. Dax armlocks him then shoulders him over. Dax chops and lariats him down. Dax's head is banged off the buckles and LL slingshot shoulderblocks him. Mo is double pounded on in the corner.
Mo enzugiri's Dax and LL is tagged in. LL looks to hit someone but everyone is down. LL tries to pin Dax but FTR wakes up. FTR hits a shatter machine on LL and Dax pins him.
Thoughts: Excalibur ruined the finish here. We were supposed to be surprised by FTR playing possum but Excalibur speculated that they were doing that when they were down. FTR then got the pin a second later. LL looked like an idiot when he was spinning in circles and unsure what to do while Tony Schiavone was saying to stomp someone. This was embarrassing.
Christian Cage and Adam Copeland then head down to the ring. They chair security and head in. FTR clubs on them as they try to get in. Cage low blows Dax and bites Cash. Cope impaler ddt's Cash. Cage goes for a conchairto but Cash is saved. Security comes in and gets beaten up. A security guard then gets a conchairto.
Jamie Hayter, Mina Shirakawa and Alex Windsore are interviewed. Alex says they meant The Brawling Birds name. Alex says when they rule, they rule. Jamie says Alex is the NJPW Strong Women's champ and she couldn't be more proud. Jamie says she was AEW Women's champ before and it eluded her since. She says Thek has a big mouth. She says she beaten her once and will do it again at Dynasty. Mina tells her not to beat her but to beat the p!ss out of her.

They lock up. JR wristlocks him then top wristlocks him. TC pulls him by the hair and side headlocks him. JR hammerlocks him and TC back elbows out. TC side headlocks him. JR shoulders him over. JR atomic drops him and russian legsweeps him. JR then sentons him.

JR bites TC's head. JR powerbombs him for 2. TC dropkicks him in the knee. JR facekicks him. They chop each other. JR forearms him. TC pumping knees him twice and pins him.
Thoughts: It went a little longer than expected. Juice really should have went down to the low blow. It was mostly striking and it was fine. Juice seems to be doing Geniichiro Tenryu tributes now with his gear and his chops and guh punches.
Isiah Kassidy does a promo. Zay says it's time for them to change. He says Mox forced him to change before. Zay says Mox now took out Marq Quen and he doesn't know when he's coming back. Zay says Mox talked about him swimming with the sharks. He says he didn't come this far to come this far. He says he's about to eat as he's starving for opportunity.
Thoughts: I really hope Marq Quen being injured is a work. This guy has been injured for most of his AEW run. Zay did a good promo here and he'd be a good 3rd for The Hurt Business.
Darby Allin talks after Dynamite. He says he has to beat Andrade and says it's the best Andrade has ever been. Brody King and Jack Perry come in. They talk about the matches they had with Darby and the things they did to each other. King says Darby was there for him though. Darby says they all hate The Don Callis Family and they can put all of this behind them for one night on Dynamite. Jack then talks into the camera and says, "he set me on fire".
The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz) vs. Don Callis Family (Andrade El Idolo & Mark Davis)
Don Callis is on commentary for this. The faces get hit as they pose on the buckles. Dez is sent into the rails. Mark hits forearms on Zach. Dez is dropped throat first on the rails.

Zach is pushed into an ssp but Mark gets his knees up. Mark piledrivers Zach. Andrade double underhook twisting drops Zach and pins him.
Thoughts: This was a lose-lose as neither The Rascalz or Andrade needed to lose but someone had to. It wasn't that good. It just didn't get that good of a pace going and the crowd wasn't super into it.
Other Don Callis Family members come down and beat up The Rascalz. Myron Reed comes to help his buddies and he clears off the heels. Reed then tope con hilos multiple people outside.
Texas Tornado Match - Kevin Knight, Mistico & The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy & Roderick Strong) vs. Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta) & The Dogs (Clark Connors & David Finlay)

Thoughts: It was a free for all as expected. It was alright but nothing too memorable. It was definitely a random bout. I can't say it really mattered who won here.
Overall thoughts: It was the usual Collision with a lot of random and meaningless matches. The opener wasn't that good. Bayne and Kross won a squash. Willow and Shida had the best match of the night and Shida lost in her return. The FTR tag was embarrassing with Excalibur ruining the finish and London looking like a fool. Juice/Ciampa got some time and was okay. The Rascalz's tag wasn't that good and they lost for no reason. The main was okay but not much more. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it had some good parts but some clear weaknesses.

Pier lariats Kal. Kal 2nd rope tornillo's him for 2. Kal springboard slashes Pier then flying headscisosrs him. Angel la rosa drivers Olim and pins him.
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: 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.

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.
