Abel Durant and Axel Cruz are our hosts.

Orlando Colon talks to himself in the mirror. He says he told himself he could do it and makes a toast. He says he made history at the Anniversary show when he beat Ray Gonzalez. He says that is Ray's best event and he was almost undefeated there. He asks what happened this year. He says Ray will say anyone can win via cheating. He asks who was the first to use a dirty tactic and shows clips of Rey throwing powder at him, using weapons and low blowing him.

Orlando says he was one step ahead of him and his hand was raised. He says it was bound to happen. He asks what Ray will do now. Orlando says he was away for 5 years and all he could do is here that Ray was on his thrown. He says he came back and now Ray isn't sitting on the throne. He says he wouldn't call it a victory, but cause and effect. He says Ray will see why later. He says Ray can also hear from Carlito and Chicano. Orlando says he's not good at forgetting the things Ray did in the past. He tells him to take time to think and says the anniversary was a success for him.

The hosts talk. Abel says he's concerned about what Orlando said. The hosts talk about Summer Madness.

WWC Jr. Title - Wilfredo "Lynx" Rivera (c) vs Bryan Idol

We go to break. 

"El Hostil" Jovan does a promo. He says Brandon The Skater called his dad trash. He says he showed him men are to be respected. He says Brandon has another shot at his Jr. Title. He says he won't let Brandon taake the title from him and says Brandon knows how long he worked to get here. He says he will be waiting for him at summer Madness. He says he will prove he's the best still. Jovan kept mentioning that the mach is on Saturday, but that's a week off.

Brandon The Skate does a promo. Brandon The Skater does a promo. Brandon says he's the best junior in PR. He says they know each other and he hopes he enjoyed his reign, because no matter how long he holds the title, he's the best junior. He says it's Jovan's problem if he doesn't like it. We've seen this twice already.

We return from break. Idol drops knees on Wil's back then does an octopus on him. Wil running lariats Idol. Wil back elbows him and boots him out of the corner. Wil top rope diving lariats him. Wil michinoku drivers him for 2. 

Idol superkicks him. Idol double jump moonsaults him for 2. Idol goes up and over. Wil 2nd rope diving os cutters him. Wil goes up top and top rope splashes him for the pin. Wil wins.

Thoughts: We saw all of this I think which was nice. The match was just acceptable only though and nothing too great. There wasn't a great story and Idol wasn't that effective as a heel.

Lou Forza does a promo. He says his tag title match goes beyond a match and is a duel of trust. Lou says him and Sole are determined to be the best tag champs WWC has ever seen. Lou says their first successful defense will be at Summer Madness and they will show Mike Nice and Oscar Benabe why they have the perfect aura.

Elena Negroni does a promo. She says we don't want to miss the women's match at Summer Madness as the whole women's division will be in the match.

La Guerrera Amazona does a promo. She says she has to be on the lookout as everyone wants her WWC Women's Title. She says she hopes Kamila does the right thing. She says Kamile knows what she is doing and asks her not to mess with her. She says this is Sai's opportunity to prove herself. She tells Amalbert to do her job. We saw this twice already.

Xavant vs Hijo de Dos Caras vs Inteleco Cinco Estrellas

We join this from the start. Xavant hits punches on both opponents. Orlando Toledo trips Xavant. The ref ejects Toledo for it. Xavant is double stomped on by the heels. Xavant is chopped by the heels. Cinco lariats Xavant. 

Xavant is double suplexed. Xavant takes a double back elbow. Cinco dropkicks Xavant. Dos superkicks Xavant. Cinco punches Dos on a failed double team. Cinco dropkicks Xavant.

Dos superkicks Cinco on accident. Xavant misses a dropkick and Dos boots Xavant. Cinco and Dos bump chests and argue. They lariat each other. Dox eye pokes him.

We go to break. 

Xavant does a promo. He says the champ has arrived and says the challenge continues to rise. He says you have to face the challenges with courage. He says he faces Joe Bravo and La Amenaza Bryan at Summer Madness. He says he's ready as he likes to fight. He says the title is at stake and he's not afraid. He says he will fight with his heart until he perseveres because that's what heroes do.

Ray Gonzalez does a promo. He says he has a message for Chicano, Orlando Colon and Carlito Colon. Ray says this is just the beginning. He says each of them will pay for what they did. He says at Summer Madness, he's facing Alberto El Patron. He says Al keeps talking trash and saying things that are low for an athlete like him. He says he needs to show more respect. He says he's a great fighter but they have unfinished business to settle. Ray says they will settle it at summer Madness. He tells him to come prepared to survive as he is coming to break that dirty mouth of his. He says he will show him some respect and will checkmate him.

We return from break. Dos corner lariats Cinco then low flying knees him for 2. Dos jawbreakers Xavant. Cinco hits punches on Dos. He belly to belly suplexes him and shoulders and lariats him over. Cinco half nelson slams him for 2. Xavant hits punches on Cinco. Cinco knees Xavant in the gut.

Xavant low blows Cinco then sends him into Dos on the buckles, which crotches Dos. Xavant slaps Dos down from the buckles. Xavant slaps Cinco down from the apron. Dos goes up and over Xavant. He then rolls him into a grounded octopus. Xavant escapes and camel clutches him. Dos submits and Xavant wins the match.

Thoughts: We saw most or all of this one. The match wasn't anything too special as three way's are always a bit limited. Xavant or Cinco were going to win here and Xavant ended up winning. Dos took the fall as expected. It was average.

Abel Durant shows us some recent clips. We then see clips of the recent attack from Lightning on Zcion RT1. 

Zcion RT1 does a promo. He says he faces the living legend in Lightning. He says they have a long history. He says they have had a lot of battles but there will be a war at Summer Madness. He says he's warning him that to leave with the Universal Title, he will have to take him out. He says neither he or Orlando Toledo will stop his reign. He says he worked with his soul to get this title and says Lightning will not be the one to dethrone him because he's the d@mned revolution.

We see a Chicano video. He says he will explain why he did what he did. He says Eddie Colon used to tell him to play for the team but he says the team didn't play for him. He says people want to know what Ray Gonzalez has to do with it. He says Ray owns 16% of the company and says Ray never called him to ask how he was. He says Carlito did attack him prior to the Anniversary show, but Carlito didn't talk with him about the plan yet. He says at no point did he and Carlito touch each other at the Anniversary Show in the dumpster match.

Andrade El Idolo does a promo. He says he will see the people on July 18th. He says Chicano will face a true sat and a real Latino who is enjoying life. He says he will humiliate him and will see on 7/18. He then says, "how you know?".

Chicano does a promo. He says Idolo dare says he doesn't know him. He says Idolo isn't relevant because they don't even like him in his own country. He says the difference between them is that people know him as a star. He says Andrade is just one of the crowd members in his company. He says Idolo came to be Eddie's savior but he doesn't know that he will have to be saved at Summer Madness.

Abel and Axel then close the show. Abel says Eddie Colon will take care of Orlando Colon.

Overall thoughts
: It was a different show than usual and that's a good thing. We saw 2 full or very close to full matches here. We also got some explanations on Chicano's new group with Orlando and Carlito, which wasn't super convincing, but at least they tried. We also got lots of promos as usual and some of those we had seen before. I'd give it a 5 out of 10. It was acceptable and I hope the show looks more like this going forward.

WWE Monday Night Raw 7/13/2026

WWE Monday Night Raw 7/13/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/wwe-monday-night-raw-762026.html

We are in Dallas, TX. Corey Graves and Michael Cole are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive. 

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman come out. Police come out with them (and I think ROW's Max Castellanos and Terrale Tempo are two of them). Paul does the intro for Brock and says the police are there for Oba Femi. He says Oba turned down a title match chance because he's obsessed with Brock Lesnar. He says Oba is the biggest dummy he has met in his entire life. He compares Oba to a psycho ex.

Paul says everyone wants to talk sh!t but then they get hit. He says Brock is also obsessed with Ova and it scares him to death. Paul says he wants to protect Brock and says he went to a judge to got a restraining order on Oba Femi. He says he knows Brock will obey the order as he is a law-abiding citizen. 

Oba Femi comes out. The police jump in the ring and Oba gets in the ring. Oba says he came here for a fight and will let Paul explain what this is. Paul says Oba is in violation of a restraining order and tells the police to do their job. Oba throws one of the cops over the top, chokeslams the other two and lariats another. Oba then throws one of them onto the others. 

Oba says this isn't Brock anymore and asks where's The Beast. He says he used to run this place and now he just runs away. Oba says if he would have went for the title, Brock would have cost him it. Oba says there's no more games, BS or running at Summerslam. He says Brock can't run from Oba Femi at Summerslam.

They show us a video on Roman vs Seth.

Iyo Sky vs Roxanne Perez

RP pulls her hair in the corner. Iyo takes her down and hits mounted shots. Iyo double knee drops her. RP slaps her and Iyo pulls her hair. Iyo sweeps her and they trade pin attempts. RP spin kicks her in the gut. Iyo dropkicks her. 

Iyo goes for a tope and RP punches her to stop it. Iyo slams her on the apron. Iyo asai moonsaults outside. Liv grabs Iyo's foot and RP sweeps Iyo. RP stomps Iyo's foot over the bottom rope. We go to break and return.

They fight on the buckles. Iyo is in tree of woe and RP knows her knee. RP running euros her in the corner as she hangs. Iyo gets her knees up on RP's asai moonsault. Iyo flapjacks her and rolls her into a double stomp. Iyo double underhook backbreakers her for 2. 

Iyo kicks her while hanging on the ropes. Iyo top rope dropkicks her. Iyo misses a corner meteora. RP calf crushers Iyo. Iyo crossfaces her. Liv trips Iyo up top. Iyo high kicks Raquel from the bottom rope. RP backrolls Iyo, Iyo rolls through and pins her.

Thoughts: It was the usual RP match where she works the leg and does her moonsault. Iyo survived it and won. It was fine for what it was and went well as expected.

Iyo goes after Liv after. RP and Raquel beat up Iyo. Sol Ruca comes out and takes out RP and Raquel. Raquel swings Sol into the rails and rams her backwards into the post. Liv hits oblivion on Iyo then bangs her face off the mat. Liv then hits Iyo with the Women's Title.

We see clips for the Jimmy Uso, Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa and Royce Keys situation from Smackdown.

The Vision come out without Paul and with Maxxine Dupri. Logan says to give it up for Austin and Bron, the new tag champs. He syas they couldn't have done it without The Vision Queen, Maxxine. 

Alpha Academy of Otiz and Tozawa come out. The Vision laughs at them. Akira asks if they can talk to Max. Max asks The Vision to leave the ring. Akira asks Max what she is doing. He says Max is a wonderful human being and says Austin is all wrong for him. Max say she loves them but they gave her a choice. 

The crowd boos Max. Max says they told her that if she was with Austin, she couldn't be with them. Max says that's not fair and they don't even know him. Otis says he told her Austin is bad news. Otis says he has something to say to her. Austin laughs. 

Austin asks if Otis is confessing his feelings for Max. Austin asks if this is a fairy tale and tells Otis to look at himself. Austin says people like Otis don't end up with people like Max. Austin says Max is with him, insults him and Otis throws Austin in. Otis chokes Austin and Bron grabs Otis. Akira helps out, sends Bron out and Bron blocks his tope. Bron exploders Akira over the commentary table. Bron and Austin stomp Otis. Otis gets the edge on the heels. Bron is sent into Austin and Otis corner splashes both. Otis lariats Bron over the top.

Otis goes after Austin and Austin begs off. Max gets between them. Max says they can fix this. Max goes to kiss Otis and Austin low blows Otis. Max then piefaces Otis down. Akira and Austin fight and Bron spears Akira. Max gives Austin knucks. Austin punches Otis with them. Otis is then held for a hard Bron spear.

Thoughts: This segment didn't make Bron look good here. Bron shouldn't be taking offense from low carders and going down off of it. A real main eventer wouldn't do that. Max predictably turned on Otis and Tozawa here.

We get a Survivor Series: Wargames video.

The men in the gauntlet match make their pitch tonight for why they will win. 

Royce Keys vs Jimmy Uso

They said this was an impromptu match and it started during the break. Uso is laid on the top and Keys clubs him. We see this started from them fighting in the aisle and Adam Pearce making a match off of it. Keys does Sheamus' chest clubs on Uso.

Keys is stunnered over the top rope. Uso enzugiri's him. Uso top rope crossbodies him for 1. They chop each other and Keys lariats him. Uso goes up and over and spinning enzugiri's Keys out. Uso's back is rammed into the apron and commentary table. Keys is samoan dropped onto the commentary table. We go to break and return. 

They chop each other and Keys powerslams him off a flying crossbody. Keys corner splashes him then hits punches. We see Jacob Fatu arrive and come out. Uso superkicks Keys and Keys sky high's him for 2. Fatu attacks Keys for the DQ.

Thoughts
: It was a random one. What we got wasn't bad, but we didn't see the beginning of this nor did we get a finish and that was pretty lame. Keys isn't even on Raw and still couldn't beat Jimmy Uso clean, who isn't exactly a top guy.

Fatu stomps on Keys. Fatu says he doesn't want to do this to him and hits him in the body with a chair. Solo Sikoa comes out and gets on the mic. He tells Fatu to stop and says to leave Keys alone. Solo says he understands now. Solo says he was lost and was being stupid. Solo says he always knows that blood is thicker than water. Solo says he's coming home to the family. 

Solo puts up the one finger sign and Uso/Fatu pose with him. Solo laughs and samoan spikes Uso. Solo then hits punches on Fatu. Fatu drops Solo with a shot here. Keys saves Solo and hits shots on Fatu. Uso superkicks Keys. Fatu tongan death grip's Solo. 

LA Knight comes out with a chair. LA back body drops Uso out and chairs Fatu. Fatu no sells the chair shot. LA hits him in the gut and back with it. Fatu then goes out. LA says he owes Fatu and Uso from last week and tells them to come and get it. He says that's not all he needs to get out of them. LA says he needs Jimmy Uso and Fatu in the ring. He says he's sick of The Bloodline and says he needs Jey too. LA says he's done with Bloodline and says he doesn't have to do it by himself. LA says they should do a trios match with Solo/LA/Keys vs The Uso's and Fatu at Summerslam. 

Thought
s:
I think Solo turned face here but nobody reacted.

The Vision walk in the back and laugh. Paul Heyman claps for them. He says that's what he calls a vision for the future. Paul says he's more than proud. Austin asks if they are all back together now? Paul says Max was so magnificent tonight that what the hell do they need him for?

Adam Pearce talks on the phone. Oba Femi comes in. Adam says Heyman was bluffing and the police officers were mind games. Oba says it means they are afraid. Oba says if they thought what he did to Brock at Mania was bad, wait until they see what he does at HIAC.

Bayley is in the ring and she asks Lyra Valkyria to come out. Lyra comes out with her new haggard look and ripped clothes. Bayley puts the mic in Lyra's chest. Bay says she thought they could be honest with each other and apologize. Lyra says she should apologize to her for holding her back. Lyra says Bay always makes it look like she's the victim and says Bay makes it her entire personality. 

Lyra says Bay isn't a locker room leader but a doormat. She says she drags down everyone she works with and has always been the worst of The Four Horsewomen. Bays she should have known this was a mistake. She says Lyra not as special as she thinks she is. Bay talks about her accomplishments and says she will add beating her at MSG to it. She says she will see her at SNME. Lyra grabs Bay and Bay forearms her. Bay hits mounted shots. Lyra lariats her then reverse curbstomps her. Lyra belly to belly suplexes her.

We get another video on Seth vs Roman.

We get a Big Bill/Big Cass return video for 8/3.

JD McDonaugh gets on the apron. Joe is distracted and Dom step up enzugiri's Joe. Dom 619's Joe. Dom top rope frogsplashes Joe and pins him.

We join this during the break. Evans hits punches on Dom. Dom knees him in the gut. Dom is thrown out. Evans topes him. Evans corkscrew kicks Dom off the ropes.

Thoughts
: It was all high flying here with little selling. At least it was exciting.

Leg 4 - Je'Von Evans vs Rusev

Rusev nails Evans from behind and pushes him into Lee. Evans is thrown shoulder first into the post and Rusev fallaway slams Evans. We go to break and return. 

Rusev throws Evans in the corner and faceshoves him. Evans hits forearms and Rusev knees him in the gut. Evans superkicks him in the gut and face. Rusev blocks a sunset flip and misses a butt drop. Evans superkicks him in the side of the head for 2.

Rusev misses a corner charge then swaps down an OG cutter. Rusev camel clutches Evans. Evans tries to fight out again and he's out. Rusev wins the leg.

Thoughts:
It was alright with Evans flying and Rusev using his power against him. I was fine with this.

Leg 5 - Rusev vs Chad Gable

Chad runs down and hits punches. Chad germans Rusev twice. Chad overhead belly to belly suplexes him. Chad is caught with a uranage as he comes off the top for 2. We go to break and return.

Chad olympic slams him for 2. Page is pulled down from the 2nd rope into an ankle lock. Page taps out and Chad wins.

Thoughts: This was yet again another quick one here. It was kind of a waste but it doesn't really matter.

Overall thoughts: It probably got around 30 minutes or so. It was a longer gauntlet. It had the usual gauntlet issues with some of the legs not getting enough time. Evans/Lee was the most exciting leg, but not necessarily the best. It was average.

Penta comes out. Him and Chad go face to face and shake hands.

Roman Reigns arrives in a car and has his title handed to him. 

Adam Pearce is in the ring and says we make Seth vs Roman official tonight. Roman and Seth both come out and Roman takes forever like usual. Seth says it must be hard for Roman to hear Seth's song drown out OTC chants. Seth says some things are certain - death, taxes and Seth beating Roman. 

Roman says Seth put everyone to sleep last week. He says Seth is the tribal chief's #1 hater. The crowd chants "he's a hater". Roman says that's the only thing Seth is #1 at and that's what he hates the most. Roman says Seth has the people confused thinking that they are on the same level. Roman says he will show the difference between them. Roman says he will show him what #1 looks like.

Seth thanks him for keeping his title warm and says he will see him the next time he wants to show up for work. Seth goes to leave. Roman says, "that's it?". Roman says what if Seth does win? He asks if Seth will carry it for a few months and get hurt again? Roman says that's what happens every single time. 

Roman says some people just can't handle the weight and pressure of being the top guy. Seth comes back in and stares him down.

Seth tells him to say what he has to say. Roman says he knows Seth is #2 as after all these years, Seth still needs an MITB briefcase to become champ. He says Seth then had to fake an injury to use it. Roman says they gave Seth all his stuff and "you still couldn't walk in my shoes, #2". Roman says he will always be #1 and says Seth will always be #2. 

Seth asks if that's all he's got. He tells him to say how he won't be as a big of a star or main event as many Mania's as him. Seth says anything Roman tells him, he has told himself. Seth says they aren't running the same race or fighting the same fight. Seth says he had to figure out who he was and he's a visionary and a revolutionary. He says he's Seth Rollins and he's so glad he's not him. 

Seth then beats up Roman. Seth asks where Bloodline is now. Seth says he knows where he is now. Roman superman punches Seth. Roman gets hit with a mic and Seth pedigrees him. Seth curbstomps him. 

Thoughts
: It was the usual bad Roman segment. Roman said a bunch of things that were 100% true and made it clear through facts that Seth is indeed not better than him. As always, Seth had no real comeback and was made to look inferior. I would even argue that Seth came off as the heel here as he threw the first punch and had to be the smaller man who resorted to violence. This stuff is why I dislike the Roman Reigns character. 

Overall thoughts:
Iyo/Perez was fine. Maxxine Dupri turned on Otis and Tozawa, which wasn't shocking. We didn't see the beginning of Keys/Uso and we didn't get a clean end to it. I think Solo Sikoa turned face, but nobody cared. The gauntlet was the usual gauntlet with a lot of the bouts not going long enough and Joe Hendry establishing himself as being a lower guy in the pecking order. I didn't like the final segment and it went as it always does - Roman destroys Seth with objectively true facts and Seth is somehow a face for hitting him for it. I'd give this maybe a higher 5 out of 10 as it was acceptable, but not much else. There was too much stuff with the Fatu's as usual and the wrestling didn't impress.

Star's team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts:
The finish was dumb. They do this finish a lot and I never like it. The ref didn't see what happened, how can he confidently award a match over it? It was alright lucha otherwise with the heels getting tons of offense in. 

Zand rightfully complains on the mic after. He says the ref's eyes are cheating on him and says Star fouled him. Zand says this was a robbery. Star starts a "foul" chant. Zand and Dif then attack Temp and Star. Temp runs to the back to cover his face.

The announcer then closes the show.

Overall thoughts: The women's match or the main was the best match on here with nothing else being that good. Neither the main or the women's match is anything you'd want to see out or remember though and the main had a stupid finish. No one did their best work here and the stars were anywhere else but on this show. This was average and I'd give it a lower 5 out of 10 overall.

WWE LFG 7/12/2026 Season 3, Episode 12

WWE LFG 7/12/2026 Season 3, Episode 12

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/wwe-lfg-752026-season-3-episode-11.html

We see Harlem Lewis working out and see Mike Derudder arriving to join him. They do squats and sprints. We see them compete with each other and say the other guy won't take their spot.

Booker, Owens, Bloom and Bubba talk. Booker has Chantel Monroe vs Bayley Humphrey. Booker says Bayley has been impressing her and coming out of her shell. Bubba has Nathan Cranton vs Tate Wilder. Bloom says Tate needs to stop worrying about the flips and says they need more aggressiveness out of Nathan. Harlem Lewis face Mike Derudder and Kevin Owens is coaching it. They agree Mike is the flashier one.

Nathan and Bayley talk about their matches tonight. Nathan says Bayley is a girl you can't forget. He says he got asked to do a love story with Bayley one day at a PC Live event (We've never really heard about these, but they are shows only for PC talent that never get seen elsewhere). Bloom says they thought it would be fun to put them together as they are opposites. Bayley says it turned into something and has become entertaining. We then see Bayley grab him and hug him. Bay says her mom will be here and Nathan says "you didn't tell me you had a mother".

Chantel Monroe says she broke her nose again and has to wear a mask. She put gets on the mask. Booker talks to Chantel and Bay. Booker says they have a hell of a test tonight. Booker wants them to work on killing some time. Bay says Chantel is bad@ss and is someone she wanted to work with. Chantel gets her back and Bay swings her around.

Bay talks about her mom coming and we see Bay's mom. 

Chantel Monroe vs Bayley Humphrey

CM rolls out of a lock up. Bay backs her up in the corner. CM gets on her back and Bay spins her off. CM leg kicks her and Bay gorilla presses her. CM escapes and hits her from behind. Bay corner splashes her. CM chopblocks her. CM elbow drops the knee. and pulls it with a roll.

Thoughts: I'm sure they edited this one a lot as there were tons of cuts, but I liked what we got. CM worked the knee and Bay overpowered her to win.

Booker T loved the match and says see how easy it was. Booker says CM was relentless like a honey badger. Bloom says CM played her heel role well and says it was easy for Bayley to be the face. CM says she's back and ready to light this thing on fire. Bay's mom hugs her and loves the match. Bay's mom says she's amazing in whatever she does. Bay says her mom is her best friend and they have matching tattoos. 

Bubba talks to Tate Wilder and Nathan Cranton. Bubba wants to see the intent to hurt on NC's face. NC says he's pretty and deadly and needs to show it. Bubba wants Tate's anguish to turn to fire and wants him to start with his fist. Bubba says it's not about the moves, but the emotion you get out of them with the least amount of moves. Bubba says the fans react to motion but will react best to emotion. 

Tate Wilder vs Nathan Cranton

Tate poses on the ropes and NC pulls him down. NC hits mounted forearms and kicks him in the arm. NC misses a corner charge. Tate sunset flips him. Tate backrolls him for 2. NC hits a stun gun and lariats him from behind. NC suplexes him for 2.

NC goes out to talk to Bayley's mom and says he didn't she had a sister. She then gives her his sash. Tyra Mae Steele is spotted. NC hits Tate from behind and pulls his arms back. NC knees him in the gut and slams him. NC goes to climb the ropes but slips. NC misses a top rope elbow drop. 

Tate hits chops and hits running shots. Tate flying shoulders him.  Tate runs into a back elbow. NC poses on the ropes and is thrown down. Tate top rope moonsaults him and pins him.

Thoughts:
It wasn't bad. I didn't quite see tons of fire out of Tate. I guess Nathan's thing with Bayley is now officially canon. The match went well and was fun but I don't know if it did what it was supposed to do.

Bubba asks the wrestlers to rate the match. Nate says it was very good and Bubba agrees. Bubba says Nate should have beaten down Tate more in the beginning and he says they did very well. Tate says he made some strides forward and it was awesome.

Mike Derudder and Harlem Lewis get ready for their match. Lewis says Mike will come up with ideas for moves. Kevin Owens talks to them. He says he wants to see them do it and give feedback on it instead of telling them to do it his way. He says they wouldn't look out of place on NXT. Owens says Harlem to go more into Mike's leg. Mike says it's so great to get advice from people like Owens as he makes him a better wrestler. Lewis says he wants to show Bloom what they have been working on together.

Mike Derudder vs Harlem Lewis

They trade side headlock takeovers. Mike side headlocks him and they butt heads. They shove each other. Mike shoulders him then Lewis lariats him from behind. Mike fights out of the corner and hits a nice dropkick. 

Mike slingshot diving headscissors him outside. Mike running facekicks him. Mike is caught up top. Mike is knocked off the buckles. Lewis stomps and double axe handles him. Lewis dragon screw leg whips him. 

Mike hits forearms and is facekicked. Lewis elbow drops the leg and does a sharpshooter variation. Mike slaps him to get out. Mike hits hard boots to the face. Mike hits punches. Lewis misses a lariat and Mike's leg gives out on a backdrop. Mike hits a hard lariat.

Mike asai moonsaults him outside. Owens says something about Mike forgetting his leg was hurt. Lewis goes into the steps. Mike enzugiri's him from the apron. Mike springboards into a hard Lewis lariat. Mike hurricanrana's him for 2. Lewis superkicks him in the gut then jackhammers him. Lewis pins him.

Thoughts: It was a stiff one with both guys nailing each other good at times. They had a little too much going on with them doing a hoss match, Mike having to sell his leg and Mike flying around. Mike could have been better here. I wish they just stuck with the hoss stuff as that was going well. Mike's not a good seller and the result wasn't shocking.

Bloom says they had a nice routine but will get a lesser reaction every time they do it. Bloom says the people need to love or hate Mike and it has to be done through selling. Owens complains about Mike's selling. He says Mike has a hard time taking feedback (which you can see on display weekly here). Mike loved the match. Lewis says they beat each other up and had fun.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual show we have been getting with them telling us about the talent, the wrestlers working on their match, the wrestlers doing the match then getting critiqued on the match. It makes sense and if the match is good, it works out a bit better than if it's not. We learned about PC Live events today which is new news. I liked Chantal/Bayley. Tate/Nathan went well. The main had too much going on in it and Mike's usual weaknesses were on display throughout it. This is really more of a documentary than a show and I think they really hammered in the idea here that emotion, not moves, is what they are going for. I liked what we got, but there's just only so much they can do with the limitations (green wrestlers, no ability to do storylines or special matches, short matches and no way to do an actual start to stop wrestling show). This was fine overall.

Thoughts
: The finish was just stupid. Simon missed his cue and came in late. He then sprayed everyone with a fire extinguisher for no reason. Andre also slipped off the top in the finishing stretch and even the announcers laughed. Los Silver King's seemed to run out of gas in the 2nd half of this as well. This wasn't good.

Tonalli, Demonio Infernal and Pirata Morgan vs Super Nova, Texano Jr. and Dr. Wagner Jr.

Doc gets hit by Morgan as he tries to enter and then is stomped on the floor. We go to break and return. Doc gets off the stage to recover. 

They all stall. Nova and Ton go at it. Ton armdrags him and is elbowed over. Ton armdrags him again. Ton sweeps him then Nova armdrags him. Ton armdrags him again and they stand off. Nova misses a dropkick and Ton kicks him.

Doc boots Morgan in the knee. Mafioso comes in and hits the ref with a cookie sheet. Doc hits Maifoso with the cookie sheet then he hits Morgan with it. Morgan low blows Doc. Another ref comes in and Morgan pins Doc to win.

Thoughts:
It wasn't good. Doc and Morgan stalled a ton and did weak brawling in the crowd. The other guys had to wait for them to get done with all of that and we had little action for most of this. It got too much time as well. 

Doc gets on the mic after.  

Overall thoughts: We had 2 matches as usual. Neither were that good. The opener had a stupid finish and Los Silver King's seemed to get tired half-way through. The main wasn't good at all as Doc and Morgan stalled and did terrible brawling before it ended. At least they did do some kind of opening segment to build up the main though, but I'm not sure what was said. They also seemed to set up some stuff with Doc for a future show. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it. It was below average due to the matches not being that good.

AAA on Fox 7/11/2026

AAA on Fox 7/11/2026


Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/aaa-on-fox-742026.html

We are in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Corey Graves and JBL are on commentary here.

We see various wrestlers hanging out and arriving. El Grande Americano comes in on a motorcycle and has some kind of parade behind him.

Lee sitout powerbombs him for 2.

Lee blocks a 2nd rope dragonrana and styles clashes Jack. Mini top rope 630's Lee/Jack and pins Jack.

Thoughts: It was your usual opener here where everyone went wild and flew around a lot. It had some nice highlights and flying. But if you were looking for anything more, this wasn't it. The selling could have been better but I was alright with this one. I'm glad to see Jack is back and it's nice to see Mini pick up a big win.

Rey Mysterio and El Grande Americano talk in the back. Rey says he wants to make sure he knows who he is messing with. He says Perros de Mal are some of the biggest bad @sses in lucha. Rey says they messed with him as he is the biggest dog in the yard. Rey says Grande can't fight them alone. Grande says he knows their legacy and says let them come. He says he doesn't plan on taking a step back. Grande says he can't win this war alone. 

Dominik Mysterio comes in. He says Grande can't win alone and blames Rey Mysterio Jr. for this. He says Perros are opportunistic and they may be right when they see Rey as being weak. Rey says he's happy Dom returned here and Dom asks if it was so he could get attacked by Perros. Dom says he didn't get involved in the Grande vs Grande mask match because he knew the winner would end up facing him at Triplemania. He says that match can't happen if Grande is in a hospital bed due to Perros. He says if Grande is their target, then he is too. Dom says they can watch each other's backs. Grande doesn't believe this and says he will believe it when he sees it.

Dorian Roldan and Omos talk. Dorian says this is his night. They run into Mini Vikingo. Mini says it look like they chose the wrong Vikingo. Omos then shoves Mini away.

Dorian Roldan and Omos come out. Savio Vega comes out to do translations on commentary. Dorian says he didn't want to come here but he had to. Dorian says they have a sad message - due to Rey Mysterio's negligence, El Hijo de Vikingo is injured. He says he had got an operation and will be out for many weeks. 

Dorian asks for respect for Hijo and says he deserves it. Dorian says Hijo got hurt when Rey sent him to Smackdown and NXT. He says Hijo lost money and his title due to Rey. Dorian says he will sue Rey for negligence. Dorian says he will nominate a new AAA Latin American champ and it's Omos. Dorian then gives Omos the AAA Latin American Title. Omos puts it on his shoulder. Dorian says if anyone has a problem, come out and try to take the title from Omos.

Rey Mysterio comes out. Rey give Dorian his best wishes to Vikingo. He says he knows what Vikingo is going through. Rey says he can't change the rules though and says Dorian can't nominate a new champ. Rey tells Omos to give him the title. Omos goes up to him and Rey's head is barely at his chest. Rey tells him to do the right thing and says Omos will be suspended indefinitely if he doesn't do it. Omos gives Rey the title and shoves him while doing it. Rey says the title is now vacant. Rey says they will announce his method to crown a new champ next week. Rey says he will see Dorian in court if he wants to sue him. 

Thoughts: There was an odd situation with Vikingo. He was set to have an NXT match, but he had an unannounced SD match first. He got injured in the SD match (which happened before NXT aired) and never made the NXT match. Now, Vikingo is injured and out and Rey had to strip him of the title.

Damian Priest does a video. He says he heard Rey is looking for a new Latin American champ. He says look no further as he has arrived. He says all rise.

Rey Mysterio does a press conference. He says Verano de Escanadalo will be aired over 3 weeks. He says Mini Vikingo will face Rey Fenix for the AAA Cruiserweight Title. He also announces a Flammer vs Lady Shani vs La Catalina Women's title match. He says La Hiedra also asked him about a mixed tag title match. He says it will be La Hiedra and Laredo Kid vs Faby Apache and Joaquin Wilde in a #1 Contender's match for the AAA Mixed Tag Titles. He says the winners of that will get a title match at Verano de Escandalo.

Rey says El Hijo de Vikingo will be out for months. He says it opens up an opportunity and he will have more details for it next week. He says he's excited. He is asked about Andra Bazarte. He says he owes her a call and invites her to AAA next week as they have a lot to talk about. 

Money Machine (Colmillo De Plata & Garra De Oro) vs Epydemius Jr. & Noisy Boy

Noisy Boy makes his WWE AAA TV debut here. He's one of the bigger name indy guys in Mexico and he's been on LM52 recently.

Noisy and Plata lock up. Plata waistlocks him and Noisy wristlocks him. Plata headflips out and armdrags him. Noisy flips off of him. Noisy handsprings and backflips off the ropes. Ep and Oro go at it. Oro wristlocks him and side headlocks him. 

Oro shoulders him over and hits shots on him. Ep cartwheels over him then springboard diving headscissors Oro. Ep misses a corner splash. Ep tornado ddt's him. Oro is double hiptoss neckbreakered. Noisy is corkscrew flipped onto Oro for 2. 

Plata grabs Noisy and Oro dropkicks Noisy. Noisy takes corner attacks and a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Oro walks up the ropes and twisting crossbodies Noisy. Plata topes ep outside. Oro chinlocks Noisy. Noisy takes a double shoulderblock then a double back elbow. Noisy takes a double boot down and a double elbow drop for 2.

Noisy rolls out of a double lariat and tags out. Ep springboard tornillos both opponents. EP springboard diving armdrags and enzugiri's Plata. Noisy top rope corkscrew headscissors Plata down. Ep finlay rolls Oro then 2nd rope tornillos him. EP tope con hilos Plata outside. Noisy does a dive off the top for 2 on Oro but we miss most of it. 

Noisy poisonrana's Oro then Plat release germans Noisy. Ep spin kicks Plata in the gut then Plata flying elbows Ep. Karmen Petrovic of Perros del Mal comes out. The other Perros then come out and beat up everyone for the no contest.

Thoughts:
It kind of came off like a tryout match for Noisy and Ep, who both had good nights here. The entry bar for lucha guys in matches like this isn't that high as most of them fly and that's about all they were doing here. Money Machine have kind of turned into a jobber tag team who is looking for their first win but they are doing fine with it and it's a story they can run. What we got was fine here and it's too bad we didn't get a finish.

Perros del Mal beat up everyone. They rip up Oro's clothing then rip up Plata's clothing too, leaving him in his purple underwear. Angel then rips at Oro's mask. Daga gets on the mic and has words for El Grande Americano. He says he heard Grande isn't alone. He says why doesn't Grande come out to fix this? Daga says they will beat Oro and Plata up if he doesn't come out.

El Grande Americano comes out with Rayo and Bravo Americano. The two groups fight. Los Perros get the edge. Bravo is backdropped on the commentary table. Rayo is thrown onto it. Grande takes his jacket off and tries to fight them off. Dominik Mysterio comes out with a chair. Los Perros run.

Dom gets on the mic. He says he doesn't know what Los Perros are doing here but says Grande's business is his business. He tells Daga to pick one of his crew to face him and Grande in a tag match.

Thoughts: I'm not loving the story of Dom wanting to make sure Grande is healthy as that's not really his character. I was waiting for Dom to turn on Grande but that didn't happen here.

Overall thoughts: The two matches we got were more workrate style matches not much else. The second match didn't have a finish either. What we got of those was fine, but they were random bouts anyone could have put together...and that's been the theme more often than not lately after a hot few months under new WWE management. I'm not loving the Dom/Grande stuff as it's out of character for Dom and there wasn't a lot else but some announcements. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as I thought this was just average overall and just not AAA's best work.

New Japan Pro Wrestling 7/11/2026 G1 Climax 36 Day 1

New Japan Pro Wrestling 7/11/2026 G1 Climax 36 Day 1

 
It's time for another G1 here at ProWresBlog. The line-up looks okay this year with no Evil. However, Jake Lee, Sanada and Ren will take up his role, sadly. The AEW/NJPW partnership continues to give us no names outside of Takeshita when AEW has tons of people sitting on the sidelines who could use something to do. Sadly, people like Yoshihashi and Taichi have basically aged out and won't be in this despite being the best workers in the company.

Thoughts
: It wasn't that most exciting bout as they traded holds. It was hard for Os to get any momentum going as Ren would just hit him in the knee anytime he would try and it would stop things. It was a little boring.

: It picked up a little in the end but was just average. Khan totally used a chair in front of the ref and the ref didn't care. It was slower, had heel tactics and would have been better as a straight match.

Thoughts:
They did some new offense here with Yota doing a reverse styles clash, his new fireblaster and KT doing something like a top rope russian legsweep without the legsweep. It got a lot of time like a lot of stuff did on this. It was okay but the length brought it down some here. They also didn't really go all out and do some of their bigger offense. 

Yota talks on the mic after but has limited English and I couldn't make much of out it. He then says he's ready for the G1.

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show and it dragged at times. The matches all got enough time. The sound was messed up here as the crowd came off very quiet when I didn't think they were which hurt the matches. Henare/Wolf was solid. Shingo/Jake was decent. Ren/Oskar was boring. Khan/Ice was average. Zack/Umino was alright as was Goto/Sanada. Yuya/Newman was average. Oiwa/Oleg was okay as was the main. I'd say the main was the match of the night. I'd give this a low 6 out of 10 overall as it was an okay show, but the length, pace and the poor mic job on the crowd hurt it.
