11/14 notes

I'll have Full Gear up tomorrow.

AEW Collision 11/14/2026 Saturday Tailgate Brawl: Full Gear

The last Collision is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/11/aew-dynamitecollison-11112026.html

We are in Phoenix, AZ. Tony Schiavone, Walker Stewart and Excalibur are on commentary.

Jack Perry vs The Beast Mortos

Jack walks on the commentary table pre-match.

They lock up and Mort throws him down. Jack drinks a fan's drink. Jack side headlocks Mort and Mort shoulders him over. Mort shoulders him over.

Jack chops Mort. Mort is flipped over the top rope to the floor. Mort gorilla press drops him face first on the apron. Mort chops Jack. Jack hides under the ring then dropkicks Mort. Jack walks the rail top and diving headscissors him.

Jack piledrivers Mort and flying knees him. Jack says this is for Samoa Joe, calls him an SOB and spits in the camera. Jack muscle busters Mort and pins him.

Thoughts: Jack spitting into the camera was unusual. What we got was acceptable. This was a random one. Jack wins yet again and I really hope this story doesn't actually lead to Jack winning the AEW Title. That would be bad.

Jack yells "Kill me" in the camera to Joe after. Jack then drinks a fan's drink.

We see The Death Riders and The Conglomeration meet in the desert. Mox tosses Strong, Kyle and OC a bookbag. Kyle says this doesn't make them trust him. Mox says he didn't ask them to trust him and asks why would they? Mox says he has a rule - he doesn't apologize. OC says he didn't ask him to apologize.

The Don Callis Family (Wardlow, Kevin Knight and El Clon) vs Jordan Cruz, RJ Wylde and Jaden Monroe

Clon and Jaden lock up. Clon wristlocks him and Jaden revcerses it. Clon enzugiri's him. Clone does a weird cutter on RJ. KK springboard diving lariats Jaden. KK dropkicks Cruz. KK corner lariats him.

Ward powerbombs Cruz twice. KK top rope 180 splashes Cruz and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a short squash here with the heels winning as expected. It wasn't much of note.

Rocky Romero gets on the mic after. He says that was pretty easy. He says tonight is special as Kyle Fletcher will bring the AEW World Title home to The Family. Trent Baretta says let's keep things rolling and calls out QT Marshall and Big Boom AJ.

The Don Callis Family (Rocky Romero, Trent Baretta, Josh Alexander and Lance Archer) vs Big Boom AJ, QT Marshall, Darius Martin and Matt Sydal

Thoughts: It was acceptable. The Rizzler and Big Justice played no role here and it was a pretty straightforward match without any shenanigans.

AEW TBS Title - Queen Aminata (c) vs Skye Blue vs Persephone vs Hyan

Maya World was supposed to be in this (and it was supposed to be a 3-way) but is out due to yesterday's nationwide flight grounding in the US. That situation will affect TNA tomorrow as well. Britt Baker is on commentary for this.

Queen forearms Britt down and headbutts Pers. Pers is sat in a chair and Queen running dropkicks her from the apron. Hyan topes Queen.

Queen headbutts Hyan down and running knees her in the face. Queen pins Hyan.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. We actually finished the match on the pre-show which surprised me. SB had a chair thrown at her head hard here. I'm not sure what happens with Pers now that Queen has another decisive win on her.

Overall thoughts: It was a pre-show so we were only going to get so much here. The opener was acceptable. The Don Callis Family then won a squash. The 8-man was fine though it didn't have the shenanigans past Costco Guys matches had. The main was acceptable also and we actually got to see the full thing on the pre-show which was nice. There was nothing must see here and there were just some matches to warm people up. It was acceptable overall.

NWA Powerrr 11/14/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/11/nwa-powerrr-1172026.html

We are in Tampa, FL. Joe Galli, Danny Dealz and Tim Storm are on commentary.

Kyle Davis interviews TV-MA. Miss Starr talks about how great TV-MA is. She says she wants to talk about the only problem they have ever dealt with - Natalia Markova. She says Tiffany Nieves will talk about how they will put Markova away for good.

Tiffany says Markova has one chance only to beat Gretta. She says if she she does, she gets a chance at the NWA Women's Title. And if she loses, she won't face Tiffany for the title again. Tiff asks Gretta what she thinks about it and she just growls.

The Paige Sisters and Tommy Henry talk. Kenzie says they lost title. Kylie says it's because she got caught up. Ken says Kylie lost first. Kylie says they are history makers and Billy Corgan is gracious to give them another tag title shot. Kylie says sometimes you outgrow people. Kylie says they should go find other partners and the better sister wins.

NWA World Tag Titles - The Country Gentlemen (AJ and KC Cazana) (c) vs Live Danger (Livewire Charlie and Danger Ross)

Live Danger is debuting here.

Live and KC lock up. KC boots him in the gut and side headlocks him. Live shoulders him over and armdrags him into an armlock. Ross is slingshotted into a flying shoudler on KC. Ross slams KC.

Ross is lifted and spun into a splash on KC. AJ is tripped onto KC then AJ is hit with a double dropkick. KC is double hiptossed. Live Danger pose and hit a double elbow drop for 2.

KC slides out and AJ nails Ross from behind. KC stomps Ross on the floor. AJ foot chokes Ross and KC legdrops Ross. Ross is choked on the ropes and Joe Cazana chokes him there as well. AJ 2nd rope elbow drops Ross for 2.

Live giant swings KC. Live spinebusters KC for 2. Live takes a russian legsweep + running back elbow. KC pins Live.

Thoughts: Live Danger are dressed up like Kerry Von Erich from the 80's. They are big, jacked and have a lot of charisma. WWE either already signed them or invited them to a try out and you can see why. Live needs to work on his hot tags a bit, but they are very Outrunners-esque and they are a fun team. This was acceptable and I'd like to see Live Danger again.

The Cazana's talk in the back. Joe says they had a great win but he's concerned about finding BFT. AJ asks why and Joe says it doesn't matter why. He says he needs to find them. KC says they can find them by the book but Joe and AJ aren't amused.

Talos vs Eric Smalls

Talos tries to do a test of strength, then he kneels down to do it. Eric slaps him. Tal gets mad and boots him in the face. Tal has him in the air by the throat. The Royal Court come out and get in the ring. Tal backs off and we cut away. That's it.

Thoughts: Yeah, I don't know what this was about. Knox and Murdoch turned on Smalls a while ago and this match was obviously not even.

Aron Stevens and Mike Mondo talk in the back. Aron says Slade is upset and won't come out. Mike says Slade is focused on Bryan Idol and wants to become National champ. Aron says he's the uncrowned National champ. Aron says they don't get mad, they get bad. Mike says it's gut check time and Aron says they are good.

Kerry Morton tells the crowd to give him a standing ovation before the next match. Kerry Morton's girl Julie does the intro for him.

Beat the Clock Match - Nick Blackwell vs Colby Corino | Kerry Morton vs Ace Lee

We have two separate matches going on at the same time here. The person who picks up the first fall wins the match. They said it was a Kerry Morton creation.

The 2 pairs lock up and Kerry stomps CC's pin attempt. CC and Kerry get hit by their opponents. Ace dropkicks Kerry. Nick swinging flatliners CC for 2. Ace corner splashes Kerry twice. Nick is whipped into Ace and pounces him on accident. CC brainbusters Nick for 2.

CC northern lights bombs Nick while Kerry pumping knees Ace. Kerry and CC pick up pins at the same time but the ref declares Kerry the winner.

Thoughts: I have no idea what this was about or what it was supposed to do to. It was hard to follow and it didn't go long. This wasn't good.

Kerry gets on the mic after. He says these enhancement talents are nothing to him. Kerry says CC has to tell the fans that Kerry is the greatest generational wrestler of all-time. Colby says it as Kerry said it was part of a stipulation they made earlier. Kerry says Colby will also have to say that Steve Corino wasn't here because he doesn't love Colby. Colby says his dad might not love him but he doesn't need him to get a job. Colby flying forearms and pounds on him. Nick and Ace break it up but get thrown out. Kerry and Colby fight. Colby side throws him and security try to break it up. Kerry tope con hilos security and the segment ends.

NWA US Tag Titles - The Hardway (Jack Vaugh and Dalton McKenzie) (c) vs Death Row Milita (Leo Fox and Colt Killbane)

We haven't seen The Militia in a long time. Fox has the red hair.

Fox and Jack up. Jack rolls him and the ref breaks them up in the corner. Jack chops and punches him. Jack back body drops him. Jack slams him. Fox takes an atomic drop into a facekick.

DM corner splashes Fox twice. Fox backdrops him. Fox chops DM in the corner. DM flying shoulders Colt. Jack slingshot shoulderblocks Colt. Colt powerslams Jack for 2. Colt hits double axe handles on him and headbutts him. Jack takes a double shoulderblock. Fox elbow drops him for 2.

Jack's head is banged off the buckles. Colt boots Jack in the corner and foot chokes him. Fox chops Jack and corner splashes him. Colt flying back elbows Jack for 2. Colt and Jack trade lariats then double lariat each other down.

DM corner splashes Colt then lariats Fox. DM twisting suplexes Fox. DM shakes the ropes and Colt spinebusters DM. Jack boots Colt then powerbombs him. Fox exploders Jack. DM corner dropkicks Fox and flying spears him. Fox is held in the air for a top rope elbow drop. Jack pins Fox.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. The crowd wasn't into this much at all which hurt things. It was a random bout. The Militia could have maybe been a little more exciting on offense.

Jack Valor complains about Eddie Grayson doing singles matches. Eddie says he has a rare opportunity for Axton Ray. He says if he can show what he can do, imagine what it can do for him. Jack says he's right and says he's representing Jack 'n' Eddie with this.

Mims does a promo. He says he's done. He says he should have known that this was a game to The Pope. He says he always saw him for the snake that he was. He says Pope brought in The Light for his mind games. Mims says he beat Pope once but apparently it wasn't hard enough. He says he doesn't just want him, he wants The Light too. He says he wants them out of his business for good.

Natalia Markova vs Gretta

Nat gets a Women's Title shot if she wins but she can't challenge for it again if she loses. Gretta has TV-MA with her.

Nat hits shots on Grett's chest as she enters. Gretta shoves her back. Nat hits chops and kicks. Gretta headbutts her down. Nat boots her out of the corner. Nat hits a corner spear then hits mounted corner shots. Gretta throws her down.

Getta knees Nat then blocks a sunset flip. Nat hits chops and leg kicks. Nat dropkicks her in the knee. Nat hits chest kicks and drops her with one. Nat top rope dropkicks her for 2.

Gretta chokes Nat in the corner. Gretta stands on Nat's gut. Gretta chokes her against the 2nd rope then does a regular choke. Gretta then grabs the ref and the ref DQ's Gretta.

Thoughts: They had the right idea here with Nat doing leg kicks and chops on the much bigger Gretta. Gretta grabbing the ref saves her from a loss at least.

Ms. Starr comes in the ring and stops Gretta. Tiffany Nieves screams as she will now have to face Markova. Tiff grabs Gretta by the hair and yells at her.

Overall thoughts: The opener was probably the best thing on here. Live Danger did fine in their debuts but why didn't they let them debut with a win instead? Talos/Smalls didn't go long and I have no explanation for the ending. The Beat the Clock Match was stupid. The Hardway's tag match was fine but also random. The main didn't go long and ended on a DQ. It was the usual NWA show with random bouts, bad finishes and wrestling that isn't great enough to go seek out. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as some of the finishes were weak. I think they could have done a better job here. It was below average.

MLW Saturday Night Superfight 11/7/2026

We are in Chicago, IL. Joe Dombrowski and Tom Lawlor are on commentary.

We see Killer Kross arrive and walk with Yota Tsuji and Mistico.

The hosts talk about the show.

Wolfgang is with GBOT. He's not officially part of the match.

Wolf's legs are tied to the buckles and he's upside down. Joe headbutts Doc. Joe is sent head first into a chair between the buckles. Doc chairs the trash can on Mark's head. Mark takes a magic killer on a trash can and Mark gets pinned by Karl.

Thoughts: I liked this and I thought it was okay. They had nice logic here. Wolfgang got involved since there were no rules, which he should have done. The heels had the edge on the faces all match long until they tied up Wolf. The Good's then won. It was mostly weapons shots but it worked and it was one of The Good's better matches.

Masha Slamovich vs Zamaya

Josef Samael is with MS.

They lock up and shove each other. They then roll on the ropes. Zam headbutts her. MS boots her in the head then running lariats her twice. MS slaps her. Zam rams her into the corner and hits corner spears. Zam throws MS by the head.

Zam spears MS. Zam grabs a spike. MS spin kicks her in the face. MS single leg package piledrivers her for 2. The bellringer counts 3 though. MS hits another single leg package piledriver and pins Zam.

Thoughts: The bellringer messed up the finish here. I was really surprised to see MS win after Zamaya was pushed so hard here for so long. I don't agree with that move, but it was kind of a lose-lose situation since Masha is knew and also needed a win. It was average as the finish brought this down.

Mistico comes out with druids. The druids end up being Contra Unit and they jump Mist before he enters the ring. Mist is beaten up in the ring by Big Damo and Brick Savage.

Key corner forearms Tess. Tess superkicks Key's head into the buckles. Tess top rope diving codebreakers her for 2. Key rolls up Tess for 2. Tess superkicks Key then ddt's her and pins her.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. There just wasn't much story or logic to it and it was just girls doing random moves for the most part.

Tess is interviewed by Rich Bocchini after. She says it feels good to be in MLW. She says she wants MLW to do something for her. She asks for someone or anyone who thinks they are better than her and says let's see how long they last with the undeniable diamond.

MLW National Openweight Title Match - Austin Aries (c) vs. Matt Riddle

Thoughts: I didn't like this at all. The lock-up that went all around the arena was a dumb spot. AA worked the leg a little but it didn't mean all that much. AA then started stalling near the end to go to the time limit. It also dragged as it went 30 minutes and the crowd wasn't that good. This was tough to sit through.

Thoughts: It was a rushed three-way. It was a free for all with people doing whatever and the longer it went on the less I liked it. The lucha matches kind of happen in their own universe here and it's hard to care because they don't matter that much. It wasn't that good.

Court Bauer comes out to talk. He thanks everyone for coming and says it's a special evening. He brings Naoki Sugabayashi of NJPW out. Court says NJPW, MLW And CMLL Are working on a special project for 2027. He then introduces Yota Tsuji.

They trade forearms to start. KK hits mounted corner punches. KK lariats him and back elbows him. KK cutters him. KK backdrops him. JB hits lariats on Kross. JB exploders him and corner lariats him.

KK tries to use the chair to get up but JB kicks the chair away. KK can't answer the 10 count and loses.

Thoughts: It's hard to rate this one. The video cut out for several minutes twice during the match. I don't know who was responsible for it but the minutes that were missed seemed important and Josh definitely got bloodied up during them. I can tell you this didn't get a ton of time though and it was not an epic. Some of the stuff like them going into the stands and using trash can lids also didn't work here as it was already done earlier in the show. No rating for this one, but what I did see did not look great. I thought Kross was doing well as champ but MLW is doing a bunch of roster changes and I have a feeling that played into his losing. I don't think Josh Bishop is a finished product yet or that over yet and I think he's going to have to grow into his role as champ.

Overall thoughts: The opener was my favorite match on the show and that was an okay match. Zamaya/Masha was average. Keyra/Tessa wasn't good. Aries/Riddle was a long 30 minute draw and it was not good at all. The lucha 3-way was rushed and not that good. Yota/Lee was rushed as well and was sprinty at times. The feed cut out during the main cut out twice. I don't know whose fault it was, but we missed some key parts to the match and I can't really rate the main because of it. I can tell you that the main had some stuff in it that we had seen in other matches and that hurt it.

I didn't like the show that much. It seemed like Riddle/Aries went too long because everything after it felt rushed. That hurt those bouts. There was a fair bit of disconnect here from the TV as a lot of Contra members were not wrestling and people like Dijak, Jumbo, Shotzi and others who have been featured were not here at all. The crowd was also either not that good or not mic'd well and that hurt the matches too. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 overall and it was below average.

WWE Smackdown 11/13/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/11/wwe-smackdown-1162026.html

We are in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive.

John Cena comes out. Cena says the John Cena Classic championship is here. He says we will find out what happens to it on 12/14. Cena says it's time to pick the next invitee to his tournament. He brings out Charlotte Flair.

Thoughts: It looked like Gun really connected on the low blow at the end. It was acceptable enough but it didn't get a ton of time to be anything to special. Gun won but I don't think we've seen the end of this one.

Overall thoughts: The real big stars weren't really in action here. The opener was average. Priest won an entertaining squash against Axiom. Jacy/Flair was acceptable and the main was as well. With Survivor Series involving so many people in tag matches, some people are probably not going to be featured all that much this month. The show was acceptable overall and I'd give it a 6 out of 10. There was nothing must see here though. The main was slightly the best thing on here.

Heather says M said they were best friends. M says she's dragging The Elegance Brand down after losing to Elayna Black. M says since she can't win a match, maybe she can make sure she wins Ultimate X or makes sure the magazine cover is the way she wants it.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. They put out a decent enough effort and it got some time. Nic was kind of spamming finishers near the end though.

We get a video with Harley Hudson, Mila Moore and Taryn Terrell playing with a dollhouse. They say, "Welcome to our house, the doll house".

Overall thoughts: The opener was average. Apex won a squash but Shayna looked fine as usual. Moose/Shaw was average with a DQ finish. Ali/Kaz went better than expected and the two worked well together. I thought that was fine. We got some profiles on Leon Slater and Trey Miguel. We don't get a lot of info on Trey usually, so that segment worked. The main was acceptable enough. This was the go home show for the PPV, but the PPV is mostly all multi-person matches and that limits the hype. It's not a PPV that has been well built to and with so many names being gone from TNA, it makes that task more difficult. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall. It was acceptable.
