There's four shows on tonight (ROH, Main Event, TNA and JCW). I'll have one or two of them done tonight and work on the rest tomorrow and Saturday. 

WWE Evolve 2/18/2026

WWE Evolve 2/18/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/wwe-evolve-2112026.html

We are at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Blake Howard and Peter Rosenberg are on commentary.

Nikkita Lyons and Arianna Grace talk. Lyons is excited. Grace says PJ Vasa will be Kendal Grey's toughest challenger yet. Grace then wants to talk about Laynie Luck and others. Lyons says she was talking about getting her hands on Diggs and Holiday. Grace doesn't want toe be reminded due to the psychic thing.

Chuey Martinez is in the ring with a table for the Kendal Grey/PJ Vasa contract signing ceremony. Grey and PJ come out. Grey says she heard beating her is going to be an uphill climb but she loves stacking the odds against herself and watching herself beat them. PJ says she shows up and and out. Grey says people underestimated her all her life. She says she thrives under pressure and that's what happened at Succession vs Kali.

PJ says that wasn't the same. She says she didn't lose to her in the triple threat and she can't beat her. PJ says she wants to do things on her terms and do a streetfight. She tell her to come get her issue. Grey signs the contract and PJ bang's Grey's head off the table. She then punches Grey down. She says everyone talks about how Grey is due for greatness and she's not waiting for that.

Cappuccino Jones does a video. He says seeing other WWE ID guys get called up and now him, it gets things brewing in him. He says not everyone ha a taste. He says he likes to have fun but his flavor is top shelf. He says it's time to start waking people up and that starts with winning the Evolve Title from Drake. He says the pot is hot.  

Dante Chen vs Brooks Jensen

Harlem Lewis is probably going to attack Jensen here. 

BJ does a trapezius hold on Chen. Riggins, Braxton and Hendrix are in the VIP Lounge. BJ side headlocks Chen. Chen wristlocks him and takes him down by the arm. Chen wristlocks him. Chen back body drops him and hits armdrags. Chen headbutts the arm. 

BJ boots him down and clubs the neck. BJ bridging cutters him for 2. Chen backslides him and cradles him. BJ lariats him. BJ fist drops him. BJ neckbreakers him for 2. BJ misses an elbow drop and Chen gets a 2 count on him. BJ boots him down. 

BJ chops him down and elbow drops him. Chen is thrown font first into the buckles. Chen boots him off the buckles then top rope head chops him. Chen lariats and dropkicks him. Chen up kicks him then superkicks him. Chen pump kicks him. BJ pulls him throat first onto the top rope. BJ hits a suplex into a backcracker and pins him.

Thoughts: It wasn't that interesting of a match as expected. There wasn't any real reason to care about this and it was pretty average.

BJ says he put Harlem Lewis down once and will do it again at Succession.

Wendy Choo does a video. She says she was trying to be someone she wasn't for a while and is exhausted. She says she tried to share advice with Kali and it backfired. She says Kali is not going to punch her in the stomach and get away with it. She says let's see if The Difference Maker has it all figured out or if she fakes it until she makes it.  

The Vanity Project are recovering from a party in the back. Sean Legacy, Aaron Rourke and Mike Cunningham come in. They say The Project needs to lock in. Aaron says Team WWE PC wants a 10-man tag with them. Sean says they have to put an end to Cam, Harley and Braxton or it will follow them. Sean says they have to leave the WWE ID project in good hands. Aaron says they can't beat them when they are united together. Mike says it's main man energy. Drake agrees and says they want to be the youngest group to ever dominate Evolve and NXT. The Project talk. Drake says he is facing Cap Jones at Succession but Brad and Smokes are in. 

Drake Morreaux vs It's GAL

They lock up. Gal is shoved down. Gal hits him from behind and side headlocks him. DM shoulders him over and poses. DM suplexes him. Gal's head is banged off the buckles. DM chops Gal on the apron then lariats him over the top and in. DM shoulders Gal over.

DM forearms and facekicks him over. DM atomic drops him then spinning lariats him. DM hits a chokeslam and wins.

Thoughts: It was fine. Gal did a bit more than usual and continues to try some different things. Gal did his usual shenanigans and Drake moved well.

Cam, Braxton and Harley come in. Cam says they have a 10-man tag next week. He says Jax is injured. Cam says DM can't trust the WWE ID guys. He says WWE PC are the winners. He says they have a spot for him. Cam says he's leading things to NXT and Wrestlemania. Cam puts his arm around him. DM says he knows exactly what side of history he wants to be on. The announcers say it sounds like a no, but his words implied otherwise. Gal asks to be put on Team WWE PC. Gal basically begs but they ignore him.  

Thoughts: They implied here that Keanu Carver is now permanently on NXT and since he's not listed for the 10-man tag, I would believe them. 

Kali Armstrong talks outside. She says she hurt Wendy's feelings but it wasn't personal, he didn't need her help. Kali said no one offered her advice on her way to the top and now everyone wants to be buddy-buddy while she's on her way to the top. She says she found herself and says she feels the fire when she had when she was champ. She says she accepts Wendy's challenge but will make her regret putting her name in her mouth.

Nikkita Lyons and Arianna Grace vs Masyn Holiday and Layla Diggs

Mas and LD dance to the ring as usual. Grace has stacks with her. Chantel Monroe is in the VIP Section.

Mas rolls up Grace then wristlocks her. Grace gets her arms yanked on. Grace side headlock takeovers Mas and crucifixes her. Mas side headlocks Grace then shoulders her over. Mas crossbodies her for 2. LD 2nd rope double axe handles Grace's arm then wristlocks her. LD trips Lyons then side headlocks her. All 4 get in and the faces hit stereo dropkicks. The faces dance as the heels go out.

We go to break and return. Lyons tries to knee Mas from the apron but is stopped. Mas is tripped onto the apron face first by Lyons. Lyons pounds on her outside. Lyons does a split legged drop on her for 2. Lyons leg chokes her on the 2nd rope and twerks. Lyons forearms Mas down then chinlocks her. 

Lyons chinlocks her and lays on her with it. Lyons clubs on Mas then suplexes her for 2. Mas is put in tree of woe and stomped. Grace stomps Mas there as well. Grace's neckbreaker is turned into a backslide for 1. Geace knees Mas in the gut and hits elbows on her. Grace low diving forearms her for 2. 

Mas takes a double back elbow for 2. Lyons flying forearms her in the corner. Mas sunset flips her out of the corner for 2. Lyons lariats her for 2. Lyons cranks her head. They double clothesline each other down. LD comes in and clears off the heels. She step up enzugiri's Grace then pumping knees her in the corner for 2. 

LD flips out of a lariat and hits a pele kick off of it for 2. Grace codebreakers Mas. LD backrolls Grace for 2. Lyons high kicks LD then Grace hits a wasteland on LD and pins her.

Thoughts: It was an average match for the most part. They hit their stuff clean but the match wasn't that great. I was a little surprised to see the heels win. 

Tate Wilder talks in the back. He says Evolve has been involved in conflict and division for a while and says Evolve has become a war zone between Team WWE ID and Team WWE PC. He says he tried to do the right thing but WWE PC is obsessed with destroying the other team. He says he can't stand for the injustice, power trips and sneak attacks. He says this business and life isn't fair. He says he will make the 10-man tag fair as he will be the special guest ref. He says the sheriff of justice is coming to town.

Overall thoughts: Nothing was that great here in-ring wise but they are doing a good job outside of the ring. They've got a lot of things set-up with Choo/Kali, Grey/PJ, WWE ID vs WWE PC and Grace/Lyons doing their heel thing. I wouldn't say there was a clear match of the night here. I would give it a slight 6 out of 10 overall but you don't need to see this one.

WWC Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre 1/3/2026

WWC Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre 1/3/2026

Abel Durant welcomes us to the show.

Estrellas busts the Zcion open, chokes him with something and pounds on him. Eddie Colon comes in and supervises with Lightning and Chicano.

I think this is Estrellas and his dad arguing

 

I think this is Estrellas and Zcion's dad arguing

Abel Durant talks. He shows us clips of the feud with 5 Estrellas and I think Zcion RT1's dad, Don Felix Torrres. Maybe Estrellas' dad says things won't stay like this and he will resolve things with his son. Estrellas' dad goes to a store with a pool table. He talks to possibly 5 Estrellas and says he's ashamed of him. He says he's envious then slaps him. Estrellas grabs him and yells at him then leaves. We see Estrellas go to Zcions' dad house at a later date and argue with him. Estrellas is told he's not welcome. They argue for a while. Estrelllas ends up kicking him. Estrellas says he leaves places when he feels like it.

Thoughts: This was a bit hard to follow but I think Estrellas' dad and Zcion's dad are friends. I think Estrellas took out Zcion, Estrellas' dad slapped Estrellas for it then Estrellas kicked Zcion's dad at his house.

Elena Negronia does a promo on Kamila from her kitchen. She says she thinks abut their fake friendship. She says she's ready and says to tell her what she's got.

He says he's facing Diego and says they just nee to step in the ring and give it to their best to the people of PR. Jc says he's ready to get his first win of the year and says he will see him tonight.

We get more hype for Batallas de Leones. They then talk about the 1/24/26 card with Ray Gonzalez vs Carlito in a match where Ray puts 16% of his share up vs Eddie Colon's hair.

Ray Gonzalez vs Carlito

Eddie Colon does a promo before the match. He's the ref here and the director of operations. Ray Gonzalez comes out with a ref named Pelayo Vazquez. Eddie doesn't want him here. Ray says 2 ref's is the fairest thing possible as there's a conflict of interest. Eddie says he's the boss and Ray says he owns 16% of the company and says Pelayo will be the 2nd ref.

We join this in progress. Carlito punches Ray. Carlito's head is banged off a chair. Ray hits punches. Carlito takes an atomic drop then Ray hits corner punches on him. Carlito ducks a shot and flying forearms him. Carlito slams him. Carlito fist drops him. Carlito is pushed into a chair between the buckles. Eddie Colon then backcrackers Ray. Eddie then puts Carlito on Ray for the pin. Joe Anthony comes out and stops Eddie from counting the pin. Los Informantes then beat up Anthony. One Informante nails the other and Anthony topes both of them. 

Carlito is sent into Eddie. Ray TKO's Carlito and Ray's ref Pelayo comes in and counts the pin.

Thoughts: We only saw a little of this. The finish was a bit exciting with various people running in and Ray picking up the win with help of his ref Pelayo.

Eddie complains on the mic after. Eddie tells him to prove that he's got the guts and put his 16% of WWC on the line. Ray says he will but Eddie needs to put his hair up. They agree and set the match up at Euphoria. 

Amaddeo Sole does a promo. He says he begs Macabre to surrender. He says he's an addict and a b@stard. Macabre does a promo and says he will take what is his tonight. He says he will hit him where it hurts - his ego.

Hair vs Mask Match (?) - Joe Anthony vs El Informante 2

We join this in progress. Joe is trying to suplex Informante form the apron. The other Informante runs in and ends up spearing his buddy off the apron. Joe lariats both Informante's then he spears one of them for 2. Informante is handed a weapon from his buddy. Informante drops Joe with the weapon and pins him.

Thoughts: We only saw the last minute or so of this and there's not a ton to say about it. Pelayo Gonzalez comes down and tells the ref what happened. The ref asks the crowd but can't find Informantne's weapon. Pelayo then comes in and strip searches him for the weapon. The match will continue.

Informante pushes the ref. The ref pushes back and Joe rolls up Informante for 2. Joe samoan drops Informante. Joe misses a 2nd rope splash and Informante rolls him up for the win.

Thoughts: We only saw a little of this. There was a lot of shenanigans going on here.

 

Los Informantes and Eddie Colon then shave Joe's hair in the ring. They beat him up and Joe gets chaired in the head. 

Tony Leyenda does a promo. He says he comes from a small town and is the most hate,d most loved and most everything wrestler in WWC. He says at Battle de Leones he faces Ray Gonzalez. He says Ray's days are coming to an end. He says he's the best.

Ray Gonzalez does a promo. He says the atmosphere in WWC is heated and says many things will happen tonight. He says he and Tony Leyenda aren't strangers. He says he knows Tony is hungry to get to the top. He says he's wrong if he thinks he can use Ray to get to the top. He says there will be a checkmate tonight.

Intelecto 5 Estrellas does a promo. He talks about growing up with his dad's friend. He says and say he envies Zcion RT1. He ells him to let his family suffer or cry and says he will finish the job he started tonight. He says he is going back to the hospital and he is kicking him out of WWC.

Zcion RT1 does a promo. He says Estrellas is brother. He says he made the worst decision of his life and signed his death warrant when he attacked his dad. He says he will pay with his life. He says it's either Estrellas or Zcion tonight.

They hype up the Euphoria card with Andrade el Idolo and Alberto el Patron.

Abel Durant closes the show. He says he will see us at the show tonight and talks about the show.

Eddie and Carlito Colon talk at a restaurant. Eddie says they have to get rid of old stuff like Ray Gonzalez. He says he hopes someone doesn't let him down. We see an John Hawking calling Eddie. They meet. Eddie says it's a pleasure meeting him and he says he has big plans for him. John joins them. Eddie says he wants him to be at the show tonight. He says PR will tremble. 

Overall thoughts: This was all about hyping the Batallas de Leones show that would take place later that day. This was all recaps and clips of some recent matches and not much else. I would not recommend this.

AEW Dynamite 2/18/2026

Thoughts: I liked it. It was the usual strike heavy Mox math. Mark bled from the hand which is a rarity in wrestling. They stiffed each other good here and I thought it helped Mark out a little. Mox won as expected.

Adam Page does a promo after Grand Slam. He says Idolo is one of the best but it wasn't good enough. He says if MJF kicks him in the balls again, he will ruin any idea of his of a happy future. He says MJF better pray he doesn't win as he is coming for him at Revolution for the title. He says he will end him to take it.

FTR and Big Stoke come out to the ring to talk. Dax says he's trying to understand why The Bucks cheapshotted them. He says The Bucks were the best tag team in 2016. He says they are sitting in second place in 2026. Stoke says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results. He says The Bucks do it and it p!ssed him off. He says The Bucks shook hands with The Rascalz and Private Party last week and says The Bucks tried to run Private Party out of the company. He says that's the fakeness he hates about FTR and this company.

He says Matt and Nick Jackson are on the top of his hate list along with his kids, who he says walks around like domestic terrorists. The Bucks appear in the ring and superkick FTR. Stoke keeps talking and sees The Bucks. My feed cuts out but somehow Stoke ends out of the wheelchair. The Bucks say they are #1 contenders to the tag titles and say they want to challenge FTR at Revolution.

Brody King and Bandido talk after Grand Slam. King says he was close to winning the title. He says he can taste it and says MJF weaseled his way into another win. King says he will get himself in the world title hunt and is looking for a fight.

Willow nearly kills Meg with a top rope release german. Mina top rope dropkicks Willow and buzzsaw kicks her. Mina uraken's her. Willow then cradles Mina and wins.

Thoughts: Meg nearly ended up on her head twice here and got so close to breaking her neck on the top rope german spot. Trusting Willow to do a top rope move on you is basically suicide. The match worked better than I expected but we were so close to disaster here.

The commentators talk about a WWE TV director who passed away this week.

Adam Page and MJF come out to talk to each other. MJF says he hates everything about him. He talks about all the stuff he hates about him. He says it makes him want to puke that he beat him twice. He says Page is a lucky shot. 

He says something is off about Page. He says Page might think people will think he is a fraud if he wins the title for a 3rd time and crumbles. He says Page is a lucky shot but is all out of bullets.

Page questions being called the lucky shot. He says he beat the dog sh!t out of him twice. He says the lucky shot is MJF, who had a shot, waiting for it, got new hair, put himself in a 4-way and won the title off a nut shot. Page says he hates MJF more. He says when he sees him, he has never met someone more like him. 

He says MJF is desperate for love and acceptance and is loyal to AEW. He says he is like him. Pge says others want the title but they need it. Page says he wants to end this forever at Revolution. Page says they should have a stipulation for their match and let the fans decide. MJF says he wants a normal match. Page says he won't challenge for the AEW Title again if he loses.

CC takes an orange punch and Ishii brainbusters CC to win.

Thoughts: Ishii definitely hurt his hip here and they should have gotten him out of here. Ishii also busted his nose open. OC did his usual screwing around here. The match was stiff and like the opener, was filled with lots of strikes.

The Don Callis Family is beating up people in the back. Josh Alexander accepts The Death Riders' challenge. Don Callis says he accepts the challenge on Takeshita's behalf. Okada says he was here unlike Takeshita. Andrade says his eyes are on the AEW Title. Don says Claudio's CMLL Heavyweight Title would look incredible on their mantle.

Becca comes in and hits shots on her opponents. Becca takes a double forearm then hits a double springboard stunner. Becca is catapulted into a uranage backbreaker. Becca is lariated. Becca takes a sandwich lariat then a spinebuster + flying lariat combo. Becca is pinned.

Thoughts: It was mostly all squash as expected. I don't expect The Birds to be around that long but at least they won here in their debut as a team.

Thunder Rosa and Kris Statlander are interviewed. Kris says she wants to fight Thekla if she's not too busy fighting for her. Rosa says she doesn't like what Thekla did to Kris then says says something in Spanish. Kris tells Rosa that Thekla is dangerous and to watch her back.

KK jumping lariats Mort. KK slams him then jumping frogsplashes him for 2. Mort is seated up top and KK jumping hurricanrana's him. KK pendulum ddt's him. KK hits a 180 frogsplash off the top and wins.

Thoughts: It was a random but okay bout here. The result was kind of dumb as Mort was supposed to get a title shot for winning this, but he lost. This was all flying as you would expect.

The Demand do a promo. Ric says he put Jack Perry in the dirt and can move onto other issues - getting his boys gold. They complain about the tag titles not being defended and challenge them for the titles on Saturday. Ric says they will take the titles Saturday.

KO pumping knees him from behind then KO dragonrana's him. SS pump kicks him. KO flying pumping knees him. SS flying kicks him. SS hits a JML driver and wins.

Thoughts: They did too much as usual here with them taking suplexes on the apron, floor and off the top and them not meaning much. It was all action without much of a story or heels vs faces. Some people will love this, but it wasn't the smartest match.

Swerve pounds on Kenny after and throws the ref out. Swerve chokes Kenny with a chain then hangs him over the top rope with it. They get on the steps and Swerve vertebreakers Kenny through the commentary table. Swerve says he needed this.

Overall thoughts: It was a wrestling heavy show as usual. It was a stiff and dangerous night here as Ishii got hurt and Megan Bayne nearly got dropped on her head twice. Mark Davis also got his hand busted open pretty good. I liked the opener. The women's match went better than I thought it would but Bayne almost got hurt twice. OC hurt Ishii's match as he had to do his usual goofing around. Knight/Mortos was okay. They did a bit too much in the main for me. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as it was an okay show overall.

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 1/3/2026

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 1/3/2026

IWA Women's Tag Titles - TLC and Ultimate X Match - Daisy Lyn vs Roxxy vs Vanilla Vargas vs Yade 

 

This was supposed to be a 3-way tag match but it didn't happen. The first two girls to grab titles are the first IWA Women's Tag Team champions. This has the Ultimate X with the titles in the middle but you can also climb a ladder to get the belts.

Rox and DL climb the poles but get stopped. Rox is high kicked while on the top rope. Rox is thrown off the 2nd rope by Vargas. She then trades with Yade. Vargas tries to hit her with a ladder and DL top rope crossbodies a ladder into them. Rox hits a kneelift on DL and hits her in the head with a chair. Rox has a chair double booted into her hard.

DL and Rox stomp Yade together. They chop her outside. Vargas climbs the pole (looks scared to death) and jumps on the 3 girls outside.

Thoughts: It was a disaster for the most part. There were a lot of sloppy moments. They were clearly helping each other out at times. They were rightfully in fear of dying on some of the bigger spots and the finish got weird as Roxxy seemingly got stuck on the cables and Yade had to push the ladder to her. Then she just hung out on the ladder until Vargas climbed it and grabbed the other tag title. The concept of the first two girls who grab titles become champs was also not good and it's a real shame because this was the match to crown the first set of champs. 

Attila, Bitterness and Carlos Controversia attack Vargas and Roxxy after. Bitterness splashes Vargas and Roxxy. Roxxy and Vargas then get hit with the tag titles. 

We get a tribute ceremony for a El Legendario Atomo. I think Manu and Pedro Portillo III interrupt it. They then attack Atomo and double stomps him. Super Atomo makes the save. They set up a match off of this.

We get an ad for Histeria Boricua which takes place on 1/10/2026.

He says he's coming for his head and says he will see the new champ. 

We get more hype for the Histeria Boricua show to close the show.

Overall thoughts: We had 3 gimmick matches here and a big angle to close the show. I liked the show as a whole. The women's TLC match was rough. The men's TLC match was a lot better and was okay. The main didn't go as long as it should have but it was fine. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall and thought it was a good show.

Overall thoughts: We had one new match, one new interview and various recaps and old matches as usual. The new content wasn't anything must see but the new match was alright. I wouldn't recommend it, but there's worse ways to spend 15 minutes I suppose.

Thoughts: Hill was a bit of a dummy here for going after the heels and falling for their trap. Hill continues to definitely be a different kind of wrestler in the ring and it'll be interesting to see how he ultimately develops. He did an okay job against Page. I like Page's team with The Vanity Project. Page sets the record for most N-A Title defenses.

The heels beat up on Hill. Myles Borne beats up the heels. Hill then tope con hilos The Vanity Project outside. Borne hits mounted shots on Page and tells him to give him his title match. Hill gives Borne a chair. Borne goes to pillmanize the ankle and tells Page not to make him do it. Borne goes to do it then Page agrees to a title match next week. Page says he knew Borne wouldn't do it. Borne then pillmanizes the ankle with the chair. Borne holds the title over him and yells as the officials break it up.

Thoughts: This was a good angle at the end and put over Borne some.

Overall thoughts: It was an okay show. The opener and the 4-way were the best matches on here. The main was okay. Elio/Eli was rushed and Tony's short match was fine. Zaria turning on Sol then forgiving her was a bit weird and I wonder if there will be more to it or not. I like the Page/Vanity Project team and think Saints fits right in with them too. I liked the show as a whole and would give it a 6 out of 10.
