Thoughts: It was a longer one with Hera getting most off the offense in. It was average and got a little boring but at least Hera tried to be a heel here. This was a random one.

Thoughts
: The comedy wasn't needed but it was entertaining as expected. We didn't get a ton of everyone here but it was enough. We see these types of matches every Youtube Special and it was pretty similar to those.

The heels take some cheap shots on the faces after.

They shake hands and KS won't let go. KS takes him down and hits mounted body slaps on him. KS chinlocks him. KS boots him and they trade forearms. KS kimura's him and Solo ropebreaks. KS waistlocks him and Solo ends up using his 2nd ropebreak.

Thoughts: It was all squash here and KS won as expected. The 3rd ropebreak call on Solo was questionable, but they've been getting more liberal with those lately.

Thoughts: It was mostly all squash here and it went on longer than it needed to. The winner was never in doubt and Zay got thrown around a bit en route to losing.

Nese is tripped into the ropes, AR slides down his back and dropkicks Sterling. AR rolls him into a twisting suplex. AR top rope 450's him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was fine. AR did his flying as usual. I liked the spot where he slid down Nese's back and dropkicked Sterling through the ropes. It was an okay juniors match but nothing particularly memorable.

Action Andretti comes out and nails AR from behind after. He pounds on him and holds up his title. Lio Rush's music hits. He comes in behind Action. Action gets scared when he spots him. Action ducks a flying lariat and goes out. Lio then stares down AR.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual ROH show with random matches and wrestlers. It only went an hour at least so it was a little more tolerable and they had some champs in action which was nice. The 10-man tag was the best thing on here but it was nothing you'd need to go see. I wouldn't say this did a lot to build up Global Wars Cincinnati. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was average.

Thoughts: This was a total waste of time. It was long and boring. Fuego didn't fly all that much and it was just a basic bout. The faces' comeback to win was also pretty lame. You could have cut half the time on this and missed nothing.

Thoughts
: It wasn't that good. They wasted a lot of time here and it was far from anyone's best work. Tiger got beat up some but didn't get to do a lot else. There wasn't a great structure to this one either and the true 3v3 part of the match didn't really start until near the end of it. 

The announcer then closes the show as usual.

Overall thoughts: It was a rough show to get through. CMLL's doing a show everyday this month and that's asking a lot of the various wrestlers. No one really tried all that hard here and we really didn't see anyone's best work. Every match also felt like it went on too long as well. There wasn't a single thing here that I thought was good and the opener was the only thing I was really okay with on this. I'd give this a 3 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it. This was not good.

Thoughts: BDE is doing a gimmick where he can't win singles matches, so he lost here. Jason is pretty low on the totem pole and him winning was an upset. They didn't get a lot of time. What we got was acceptable but nothing memorable.

Overall thoughts: There was only one new match and one new interview segment as usual. Neither were must see, but you can get through all the new content on this one in pretty quick fashion. I wouldn't recommend this.

Tony says he won by any means necessary and had help, but he has come alone and is a man without his family. He says Naraku is wrong if he thinks he can win his title by himself. Tony says the title will stay with him. Tony asks for the contract and Naraku hasn't signed it yet. Tony asks if he's ready for war as he is. Tony leaves and Naraku says, "Evil is coming, ha-ha-ha".

Nat doesn't break the sharpshooter after. Nikkita Lyons and Karmen Petrovic come out and raise Nat's arms.

Thoughts: It was a fun tag. It had a lot of fast action and the girls all worked pretty well together. They had some different styles here and it worked a lot better than it should have,.

Tatum jumps off the rail onto Zar after and superkicks her. They fight and security tries to break it up. Lola holds up her belt, KJ tries to grab it. KG tries to grab it from KJ and nails Lola on accident while KJ laughs. 

Overall thoughts: We only had one men's match here. Everything but the women's speed matches were fine. Tavion/Drake was much better than expected and it was one of Tavion's better outings. That was fun. Jaida/Natalya was one of the best matches on WWE TV in some time and is worth checking out. The main was fine as well. I also did like the Naraku/Tony segment. I'd give it a higher 6 out of 10 as it was good and there was some strong wrestling here. It would have been higher had it not been for those Speed matches.

EPW Wrestling 6/13/2026 Episode #246


Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/epw-wrestling-662026-episode-245.html

Gene Jackson and Joey Gross are on commentary.

The Order (Eli Knox and Dorian Vain) come out with Hollywood Jimmy for an interview with Jaxx Roxx. Jaxx accuses them of being scared of James Storm and Aaron Roberts. Jimmy says he's not scared of a wannabe cowboy and says James Storm is Woody from Toy Story. Eli says they were the most respected and feared group in the company a few weeks ago. Eli says they will show Storm what they are all about and it'll be the last time he sticks his nose in their business.

Dorian says the night Aaron Roberts took his title, he didn't want to do anything. He says his identity is being champ and he's been born for the top. He says Aaron took it from him. Dorian says he will get his identity and title back while taking Aaron's health. He says Storm is in The Order's way and he won't be able to weather this storm. He says that's an executive order.

Zay Washington, Jabari Young and Enrico Sterdivant are interviewed. They are asked about attacking Isiah Cone. Zay says he's taking away everything away that the people love. Zay says they accept Cone's challenge but says no one compares to them. Zay says Cone won't know which 2 of them he will face.

MC stomps ER and ER's head is banged off the buckles. MC hits hard chops. MC forearms ER then sends him chest first into the buckles. MC black hole slams him and pins him.

Thoughts:
It was all squash as expected. Cain looked big and bad and moved better than he has on other nights.

Ross back body drops Tyler then hits a hard lariat. Izzy fire thunder drivers Jared and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one. Ross hit some nasty looking lariats here. It didn't really get the time to be anything too great.

Wonder Boy is interviewed. He says he knows he has the support of the EPW Universe. He says he has great responsibility by holding the cup and has to face Mike Anthony next week. Mike comes in. He says he wonders what Wonder wonders. He says he bets Wonder is wondering what he wonders. Mike says he's not here to be a hero and is simply here to win. Wonder Boy has no comments about that.

James Storm and Aaron Roberts are interviewed. Aaron says he feels like a champ which Dorian Vain doesn't have anymore. He says he's a big fan of Storm and says he's never seen Storm turn down a fight either. Storm says it'd be like him turning down a cold beer - he doesn't do that either. Storm says he's going to order up and @ss whipping. He says The Order can say what they want but now they gotta take their orders. Storm says they are coming to the ring and are ordering 2 jobbers. Storm says all they will hear at the night is, "sorry about your d@mn luck". Aaron says he always wanted to say that so they do it again and let Aaron say it.

Jabari Young and Enrico Sterdivant vs Isiah Cone and Ty Miller

Both teams had mystery partners here. Zay Washington is on commentary.

Cone facekicks JY. Cone spinning forearms JY then michinoku drivers him for 2. Cone chops JY in the corner. Ty then comes in. He goes up and over JY then enzugiri's him from behind. Ty backdrops him and kips up. Ty standing moonsaults him for 2.

Ty topes Enrico outside. Cone backrolls JY for 2. Cone slingshot cutters JY for the win.

Thoughts:
I wasn't a fan of this. This was one of the first matches of the new Jabari/Enrico/Zay alliance and they needed a win here. They were also facing a random face team. The big comeback sequence for the faces got botched and it just wasn't the best. 

Zay Washington gets mad after. Him and Enrico hit the faces from behind. Jabari joins in. Zay suplexes the faces down and the heels stand over top of them. 

Overall thoughts: It was a below average show. There was just nothing that great here and main didn't really deliver which didn't help things. Moses Cain's match may have been the best thing on here and that was a squash, so that should give you an idea of the quality on this one. I did like all the interviews and recap footage though as it made this feel like a more complete show. I wouldn't recommend this one and would just give it a 4 out of 10.

WWE Monday Night Raw 6/15/2026

WWE Monday Night Raw 6/15/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/wwe-monday-night-raw-682026.html

We are in Baltimore, MD. Jose Tessitore and Corey Graves are on commentary.

The Uso's and Roman arrive. Roman is given his belt. They meet Fatu there and head to the ring. They talk in the ring. Roman says things are going well and says Jey will win KOTR. Roman says to acknowledge Jey. Roman says if it wasn't for Big Jim, there wouldn't be a Right Hand Man, Tribal Chief or Bloodline. Roman says to acknowledge Jimmy. 

Jey says there's one person here who needs to acknowledge them. Roman says it sounds like we have a problem. Roman says Fatu doesn't want to listen to The Uso's or acknowledge them? Fatu takes the mic from Roman. 

Fatu says he doesn't listen to The Uso's and he only acknowledges Roman Reigns. Roman says we don't need yes men around here. Roman then has the announcer give him a box with a necklace in it. Roman says the roster is scared. He says The Bloodline has always been here and is forever. He says The Wild Samoan's, Yokozuna, Umaga and Rikishi was The Bloodline.  He says The Uso's and when Roman was born are The Bloodline. 

He says Fatu says he's always on the outside but he's on the inside now. Roman tells him welcome to the family business and welcome to The Bloodline. Roman then gives him a necklace. They all then do the one finger pose.

The Bloodline greets a comedian named Eric Andre in the front row. The comedian touches Fatu's necklace. Fatu throws him over the rail and headbutts him in the ring. Officials try to stop it. Roman tells Fatu to do it and Fatu top rope splashes Eric. Fatu goes to leave and Roman tells him to do it one more time. Fatu then does.

Queen of the Ring Semifinals - Iyo Sky vs Raquel Rodriguez

Iyo dropicks here and hits a flurry of shots on her. Iyo enzugiri's her from the apron. Iyo hits shots on her. RR crossbodies her. Iyo is dropped throat first on the rail.

Thoughts: Iyo won as expected here. It was an okay match with Iyo being the underdog and having to fight off the bigger girl, which she did. They did what they were supposed to do and it worked.

 Roxanne Perez and Liv Morgan talk in the back. Liv wants to focus on her and Dom. RP says Charlotte won't be 100% when she faces her. Liv says it's time for her to step it up. 

Liv goes into Danhausen's lair. Liv has a Dan shirt on and asks if he can help her with something. Liv flirts him with him and calls him powerful. Liv asks Dan to curse Dom's opponent. Dan says he needs money, he needs to be in a music video and needs a song about him. She walks away.

We see clips of Danhausen's stuff with The New York Knicks (he uncursed them and they won the NBA Title). It's been a big thing he got a lot of coverage over it.

Seth Rollins does a video. He says he brought Bron into his vision and tried to give him his world. He said Bron took his world from him. He says Bron took 6 months off his career. He says it's time to right his wrongs. He challenges him to a cage match.

Adam Pearce talks to Lyra and says "it's gonna happen". Lyra is excited. LA Knight walks in to talk to Adam. He asks if Adam saw it. Adam asks if he's upset. LA said it happened exactly as he said. LA says Solo is back in the fold and isn't that neat. Adam says the ref's decision is final and says Solo isn't with Roman. LA asks if Roman told him that. LA says he will do things his way to get them done.

Chad Gable is interviewed and it's his first match on Raw under his name in a year. Chad says he's been wrong about a lot and he has people to make amends to. He says after he gets done with Rusev, he has more people to make amends to. He then sees Max Dupri and Austin Theory talking.

Chad Gable vs Rusev

Rusev waistlock takedowns him. Chad then basically hits germans on him. Chad hits armdrags. Rusev avoids one and kicks him in the ribs. Rusev corner splashes him then sends him chest first into the buckles.

Chad olympic slams him and ankle locks him again. Rusev submits.

Thoughts:
I thought Chad would lose here for a second. It was acceptable but nothing too crazy. I would have liked more ankle work. I'm not really liking this Chad Gable face run so far and I hope they have something better for him than what he's been doing.

Ethan Page nails Chad after and pounds on him. Rusev gets some shots in. Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee come out to help Chad. The heels back off. Page gets back in and takes some shots. Rey and Lee raise Chad's arms up.

Roman talks to a guy in the back to get him to get things ready. The Uso's come in and says Roman told him Fatu is supposed to listen to them. Roman says he called an audible and things changed. He says Fatu feels like an outsider and they can't have infighting. Roman asks why LA Knight is still running his mouth. He says he should send Fatu for him. Jimmy says to let him talk to him.  

Bron Breakker does a video.He says Seth Rollins made a career of backstabbing everyone and wants to play the victim here. He says he destroyed his vision as he used deception. He says Seth isn't a visionary but a sheep in wolf's clothing. Bron says Seth will be locked in a steel cage with the most unbreakable star in WWE. He says when you are locked in a cage with a dog, the dog always makes it out.

LA Knight comes out to talk. He lays in the ring and said this is how he ended his Friday on Smackdown. He says he thought he could lay here all weekend but then remembered that he has to go to Baltimore. He says a friend told him to take the night off and he says his friend didn't understand that he has to get to Baltimore. He says he's in Baltimore and he's home.

He says he didn't have a famous dad or a tribal chief. He says he's seeing Roman manipulating Fatu and says Roman will have an OTC coin where he can scam everyone soon. He says he told everyone that The Bloodline would interfere and they did. 

Jimmy Uso comes out. He tells LA it's different now and says Solo doesn't run with them now. LA says Solo made use Jey made KOTR and says Solo's in the fold. LA makes him say that they won't come after him if he goes after Solo.

Jey Uso comes out. Jey tells LA "let me talk to you". Jey says they told him Solo is on his own. Jey says he's better than LA and put him out of KOTR. He says he needs LA to acknowledge him. LA says he acknowledges that Jey can kiss his @ss. 

They start to fight. Jimmy tries to break it up and is shoved. LA pounds on Jey and Jimmy superkicks LA. Jey grabs a chair and Jimmy tells him to stop. LA blocks a chair shot then he chairs The Uso's. Fatu comes out and does the tongan death grip to LA.  

The Uso's argue in the back. Fatu interrupts. Fatu says they tried it their way and it didn't work so he did it the old way.

We get an NXT Origins video on Alexa Bliss.

Charlotte Flair vs Roxanne Perez

Liv Morgan and Alexa Bliss are out there with their partners.

Char misses a corner charge and RP flails on her. Char knees her in the face and drops her. Char chops her outside and chops the post when RP moves. RP kicks Char's arm and stomps the hand. We go to break and return.

Thoughts: It didn't get a ton of time. The finishing sequence wasn't that great with Bliss having a bunch of problems moving Char. RP mostly worked the arm here as she always does limb work style matches. Char also definitely missed on a big boot here. It was so-so.

Je'Von Evans is interviewed in the ring. He says he knows Jey Uso is watching. He says he knows Jey has the experience but he will yeet him out of KOTR. He says after he beats him, he can say, "that boy is bouncy".

Logan Paul and Austin Theory come out. LP has an arm brace on. LP says he has life changing news. He says Evans is a generational talent. He says Evans has untapped potential and he sees through him. He says he's ruthless and a killer but can't do it on his own. He wants him to let it out and says they are the right people for him to let it out with. LP invites him to join The Vision. Evans says "hell nah". 

LP says it's not an invitation but a mandate. He says Evans is in The Vision. Evans tells him to back up before he leaves with no arms. Austin says they aren't asking, they are telling him. He says he joins The Vision or gets dropped. Evans takes off his pants with his ring pants on. He says to get a ref out here and a ref comes out.

Je'Von Evans vs Austin Theory

This started during the back. Evans hits elbows and flips off the bottom rope. Evans flying headscissors him out. Evans goes for a dive and Austin moves. Evans then topes him. Evans hits Terrale Tempo's viralplex then standing moonsaults him. 

Evan is tripped into the buckles face first. Austin lariats him. Austin stomps Evans' arm. Evans backbreakers him. Austin hits mounted shots. Austin hits shots on him in the corner. 

Evans hits mounted corner punches. Evans is stuck on the top rope and Austin knocks him down. Evans stomps him in the corner. Evans springboard lariats him for 2. Evans goes up on the buckles and is swepted. Austin hits ataxia for 2. Evans hurricanrana's him over the top. 

Evans drops him with a punch outside. Logan Paul distracts Evans and Austin hits Evans from behind. Austin is sent into the post and lariated over the rail. Evans runs around the ring and dives over the timekeeper's rail onto Austin. Evans corkscrew kicks him off the ropes. Evans double jump springboards and Bron Breakker comes out to spear him in the ring.

Thoughts: This was a waste of time and it was after 10PM when the show should be ending. There was really no need for this, especially with the stupid finish. It was just random filler.

The Vision go to beat up Evans. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins come out and fight The Vision. The heels are sent out.

Roman Reigns talks to Fatu in the back. Fatu says he got LA Knight's @ss. Roman says he understands Fatu and says as long as Fatu understands him, there's no stopping them. Roman then tells him something in his ear. 

King of the Ring Semifinals - Oba Femi vs Dominik Mysterio

Oba blocks Dom's hammer shot. JD comes in and Oba double chokeslams both. Oba hits running euros on his opponents. Oba throws Dom on a backdrop. Oba pop-up sitout powerbombs him and wins.

Thoughts
: It was short and went as it should have with Dom trying to be the dirty sneaky heel and getting caught and beaten. I was fine with this.

Oba talks on the mic after. He says he's one match away then he has his crown. He says he will beat who he needs to beat even if it's Brock Lesnar. He says he's surprised Brock didn't come and thought it would be the night he comes. He says he went from looking at him as the man to questioning if he's the man at all. Oba says he will be remembered as the ruler and the destroyer and the mountain Brock can't climb. He says he known as the best slayer and the future King of the Ring. He says he will be king and says Brock will just be the man who ran from Oba.

Overall thoughts: This episode was a waste of time. We're right back to 2022 here with the whole show being based around Bloodline and that's not something that I really want to see. It was mostly Queen/King of the Ring stuff otherwise and those matches were predictable. I'd give this a 5 out of 10. It was average and just not that interesting. Iyo/Raquel was the best match of the night.

The hosts talk about the Anniversary show Night 2 and announce Jake Hager vs Alberto El Patron for it. They also announce "La Amenaza" Bryan vs Carlito Colon. 

Xavant vs Slash Venom

This is from the 50th Anniversary Show. We may have joined this from the start. Xavant pounds on and punches SV. SV hits punches and chops in the corner. SV boots him in the back of the head and Xavant eye rakes him.

They cut ahead. SV goes up top and diving shoulders Xavant down. SV goes after Xavant's buddies on the apron. Xavant lariats SV with a kendo stick and wins.

Thoughts:
It was shorter one. We didn't see all of it. What we saw was nothing special and I'm not sure why they'd want to show an old match where Xavant was the heel when he's currently a face. This would not have made my Top 100 of old matches to replay, especially when there's tons of recent Xavant match we saw little of. 

La Guerrera Amazona does a promo. She says she's going for the WWC Women's title. She says the title is coming back to PR and she'll have La Tigresa in her corner when she wins it. She says the wants the people to be in her corner and support her when she wins the title from Natalia Markova.

Wilfredo "Lynx" Rivera does a promo. He says the 4-way at the Anniversary show will have 4 of the best in the world. He says he was told he was the underdog in this and says no one wants this more than him. He says he will fight with all of his heart and if his opponents don't, they will be defeated.  

Orlando Toledo commentates on an Informante video where we see Pelayo training (we saw this yesterday). Toledo calls an Informante and asks him to tell him where Pelayo is training. He says he wants to pay him a visit.

El Informante vs Vinny Pacifico

We join this is in progress. Info neckbreakers him. We then cut away and both guys are down. Vinny grabs an energy drink then hits lariats on Info. He bridging ddt's Info for 2. Info double underhook powerbombs him for 2. 

Vinny hits him then hits an angle slam for 2 when the other Informante puts his partner's leg on the ropes. Info hits a shiranui on him and pins him.

Thoughts: Similar to the last match, we only saw parts of this and what we saw was nothing special at all.

Jake Hager does a promo. He says he'll be in PR on 6/27-6/28. He says Puerto Rico, let's go, we the people.

John Hawking does a promo. He says this will be his first anniversary show coming up. He says he's facing Jake Hager, who has prestige and has been a WWE world champ. He says he has proven himself to be a dangerous fighter. He says he's an excellent opponent. John says he's motivated and will fight the battle of his life.  He says he will welcome here as he's here to defend the Caribbean Title with all that he's got.

La Tigresa does a promo. She says the 53rd Anniversary show is dedicated to her. She says she grew up and learned in WWC and says she wants to share the tribute with all of her fans. She say she'll be waiting for us.

Octagon Jr vs Alberto El Patron

We join this in progress. Oct hits an os cutter for 2. Oct 2nd rope moonsaults him outside. Al is sent into the post then has his head banged off a chair. Oct goes up top and Al knocks him down to the apron and floor. Al top rope reverse suplexes him for 2. 

Oct claymore kicks him in the corner then meteora's him there. Oct handstands into a seated moonsault for 2. We go to break.

Carlito and Eddie Colon do a promo. Eddie says they will join forces to take on the two pieces of trash in Bryan and Chicano at the Anniversary show. Carlito says they are here to take out the trash. Eddie says they will fire them after they beat them. Carlito says they are men of class and says they will see them at the show.

Chicano and La Amenaza Bryan do a promo. Chicano compares The Colon's to Mormon's for dressing up in suits. Chicano says it'll be a massacre and says blood will flow. Bryan says they aren't clowns like The Colon's. Bryan says to take the fight seriously and says it's time to pay. Bryan says they wanted to fire them and now it's time to pay. Bryan says they will open their Wrestling 101 class and the first lesson is how they ripped their heads off. 

Xavant does a promo. He says the champ has arrived and says Alberto El Patron is saying at home on his couch talking trash about Puerto Rican's. He says to be careful because he's coming up behind him. He says he will speak to him with his hands. He says he will fight with his heart of the Puerto Rican people and will fight until he triumphs.

We return to the match. Al throws a staff member into the wall and takes his chair. Al puts a chair between the buckles. Oct boots Al out of the corner and Al double knee presses him down for 2. Oct boots him out of the corner and 2nd rope diving tornado ddt's him for 2.

Oct sends Al head first into the chair between the buckles. Oct top rope 450's Al for 2. Oct goes for a tope and Al throws a drink in his face. Al low blows him. Al then gets a 2 count on the pin attempt. Al unmasks Oct then sitout powerbombs Oct. Al pins him.

Thoughts:
What we got was fine. Oct flew around a bit and Al didn't win clean. We only saw some of this one and I guess they showed it because Al is going to be at the Anniversary show.

Orlando Colon does a video at the beach. He says he's preparing for the most difficult fight of his life. He says he doesn't care about Ray's opinion. OC says he walks alone and never needed people like Ray. He needed people like himself who believes in himself. He says those people are real and people like Ray manipulate. He tells the fans to support Ray because he will make him look like #2.

Ray Gonzalez does a promo. He says things are heating up. He says Orlando returned and attacked him in Aguadilla. He says Orlando hasn't matured. He says what he said had to be said. He says actions are what makes a fighter great and not his words. He says he stood by his words for 33 years. He says Orlando isn't facing the Ray that throws headlocks and dropkicks. He says he's facing the devil Ray Gonzalez. He says he will teach him the lesson of his life and says he doesn't represent the Colon name well. He says he's not calling himself MR. Rating. He says to call him Mr. Lucha Estelar. He says he knows his blood is boiling and says he will checkmate him.

We get quick clips of Intelecto Cinco Estrellas and Zcion RT1 promos we already saw. 

The hosts talk about the Anniversary show more and ask us to tune in next week. 

We then see more clips of the Zcion RT1 vs Intellecto Cinco Estrellas feud.

Overall thoughts: It was a very lazy episode of WWC. We saw almost all of the promos shown already and there were no new matches shown. Of the old matches they showed, none of them were shown in full. And instead of showing us some of the recent matches we never got to see in full, we saw a bunch of older ones instead. This was a complete waste of time and sadly, it's just another day for WWC. I have no idea why anyone watches this show. I'd give this a 1 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend at all. This sucked.
