Thoughts: It wasn't much. They had more people than time, so no one got to do much. Taguchi goofed around as usual and we barely saw any of Goto or Khan here.

Nagai looked good here as he was fiery and he connected on his offense. Oskar also fired up a bit which was nice. It was average.

Thoughts: It wasn't quite the epic it was made out to be, but it was okay enough here. Wolf worked the arm. Yoshi showed some fire and was solid as usual. It was nice to see Wolf with someone outside of House of Torture for a change. I'm not a big fan of the result. Yoshi's one of the best workers in the company and he would add a lot to the G1.

Thoughts: It was acceptable but nothing more. It went too long, the pace was slow and they just never kicked it up to the next level. There was just too much strike trading here that didn't go anywhere. Like with Yoshi though, Taichi is now out of the G-1 and the G-1 will suffer because of it.

Ice talks on the mic after. He says he's happy to be a wrestler and has a smile on his face. He says he likes him a lot. He says Tai has a place and NJPW needs him. Ice tells Tai to keep an eye on his matches. Ice says it's his first G1 and says let's get high.

Overall thoughts: The first two matches were a waste of time. I liked what we got of Umino's tag match, but I would have liked to have seen it go about double the time it went. The House of Torture tag was average. The 4-way went long was nothing special. Wolf/Yoshi was okay enough. Taichi/Yuto went long and was only acceptable. I'd give it a 5 out of 10, but with some changes, it would have been higher. I thought it was average.

Note - I had seen all of these matches already. I reviewed them here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/reality-of-wrestling-6132026-platinum.html

Big Luther says Tempo turned on him and he won the tag titles, not him. He says it burns Tempo up to see him in the spotlight. He says he will burn him at the stake and go on to Summer of Champions.

Thoughts: It was a shorter bout and Mike's team won as expected. Toomer was kind of put over as the big man here and we didn't have bumps that were too crazy. It was close to a squash, but not quite one.

Big Luther points at AJ Francis after. 

Cappuccino Jones is interview. He is wearing some new gear and looks like a hippie. He says things started with him and Chandler Hopkins because Chandler can't beat him. He says Chan tried to burn him with coffee and chair him. He says all it did was wake him up. He says his strategy is to hit him with the chair until he finds out that Cappuccino joke woke him up.

Cap hits punches on Chan. They fight on the buckles and Chan is hurricanrana'd into a 2x2 side by side set of chairs. Cap top rope froggy bow's him and wins.

Thoughts: The chair's gimmick wasn't the best as they hit each other with the chairs some and it didn't take anyone out. It got a lot of time and the crowd wasn't into it as much as they should have been. It was alright enough but not much else.

Overall thoughts: Monroe/Capri was average. Toomer and Mike Anthony almost squashed Banks and Tyra in their match. Tempo/Luther was decent and Jones/Hopkins was just alright. I'd give it a out of higher 5 out of 10 as it was acceptable overall.

WWE Monday Night Raw 7/6/2026

WWE Monday Night Raw 7/6/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/wwe-monday-night-raw-6292026.html

We are in Chicago, IL. Corey Graves and Michael Cole are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive. Sami arrives in a convertible holding his title up. He shakes hands with some of the security guys and runs into Cody Rhodes. Sami says Cody thinks he's going to jump back in and take his spot and be champ again. Sami says it won't happen. He says he will walk out of here WWE champ. Cody says he came to say good luck and he'll see him out there. Cody says Sami's right though about what he's thinking. Sami says we will see about that.

Gunther then nails Cody from the side and powerbombs him through a table. Refs come to break it up. Gunther tells Sami he's welcome and says Cody isn't his problem anymore. Gunther says he's a disgrace and fluke of a champ. He says he's going to come for him. Gun then boots the car door into Cody's head and Cody starts bleeding from the ear.

Seth Rollins comes out to talk. Seth does his usual lines. We get "CM Punk" chants. Seth says he doesn't care as his business is beating Roman at Summerslam and winning the title. He says his business is continuing to own Roman Reigns. 

Seth says Roman isn't here as he didn't think it did anything for him or the check wasn't big enough. He says that's who Roman is and says he's been the chosen one since Day 1. He says no one wants to hold him accountable ever. Seth says it was made clear to them that Roman was going to be the top guy in The Shield even if he couldn't cut a promo or wrestle his way out of a wet paper bag.  He says it was always going to be Roman and it didn't sit right with him.

Seth says there's a kid in the front row who is 9 and another who is 5. He says he was that boy. He says he sat in these stands and all he wanted to do his entire life was to be the biggest star in this industry. He says those were his dreams and it broke something in him to see those dreams handed to someone else. He says every decision he made after that was in response to that. 

He says be broke up The Shield to hurt Roman and he cashed in his MITB to stay close to Roman. He says he believed if he worked hard, he could achieve those dreams. He says he thought he and Roman were running the same race but he was wrong. He says Roman admitted that he worked 10x less than Seth and made 10x more than he did. He says the reward was the work and hustle for him.  

He says Roman needs to beat him to justify that he's not a fraud. He says he needs to prove to himself that with hard work, sacrifice and dreams, you can achieve greatness.

LA Knight interrupts. LA says there was no way he was going to sit through this again for 2 weeks in a row. He says Roman wanted to bore everyone to sleep and then Seth joined him and bored everyone to sleep with the same old trash. 

LA says he remembers when you had to win matches to get title shots and says Seth lost in the first round at KOTR. He says he lost too but he's not making a claim due to nostalgia. LA says he can never catch Seth's title shots. He says when business as at its peak, it was LA Knight storming through WWE.

He says Seth and Bloodline shut him down before. He says the greatest at being vomit's in this business. LA says you can't stop him and he will rise because he must rise. Seth says he doesn't like him but he respects him. He says LA is a shining example of everything he just described. He says he believes LA's time will come. He says he can't worry about him as he needs to get a title back he never lost. He says LA can then step to him and be the first person he put in the dirt. 

Thoughts: LA coming out was a bit random but Seth had a good promo otherwise.

Jimmy Uso appears in the ring then superkicks LA. Jimmy says to keep Bloodline out your mouth.

Gunther and Adam Pearce argue in the back. Adam says a meeting is off and Gun says Adam's decision forced his hand. Nick Aldis comes in and security backs up Gun.

AD puts knucks on. Maxxine Dupri comes in and low blows AD. AT pins AD.

Thoughts: Well, Max has officially turned heel. It didn't get a ton of time and Ford came up a little short on his dives here. This wasn't anything special. The Vision are champs again but I don't expect this to last too long.

Dupri kisses AT after and hugs him. The Vision get fireworks.

A doc says he can't sign off on Cody tonight. Adam Pearce comes in and says he can't let Cody wrestle if the doc won't.

The Vision celebrate in the back. Logan says they deserved this and says he loves them. Paul Heyman walks up to them and says it's the first step. He says it's only the first step. Paul says at least someone got something accomplished tonight. Austin thinks he means him but Paul says he means Max. The Vision drive off. Otis and Tozawa then run in and look shocked.

Thoughts: Sol was a little sloppy here. This should have been a little better than it was. I thought Raquel had a shot at winning here and was surprised to see her lose.

Paul Heyman comes out and says he's here to talk about Oba Femi. He talks about Brock Lesnar kicking Oba in the crotch last week and says the paint is nothing compared to what he will experience in Hell in a Cell. He says Oba has motivated Brock and made the biggest mistake of his life in accepting the match with Brock. He says Brock will destroy Oba in HIAC. 

Oba Femi comes out. He says Paul talks so much and he came out here so he wouldn't be lonely. Paul says Oba learned last week that if you talk sh!t, you get hit. Paul says he's valuable as he stops people from making bad mistakes. He says Oba made a bad mistake, but not at Mania. He says Oba proved Brock is beatable then Brock proved Oba is beatable.

Paul says Oba didn't accept the challenge for just a cage, he accepted a challenge for the "Brocktagon". He says Brock is the bringer of pain, the beast he can't beat and the mountain Oba can't climb in there. Paul says Oba will be the beatable one at HIAC. 

Oba says Brock showed up last week after weeks. He says it tells him that what he said about Brock got to him. He says the fact that Brock showed up means he watches the show. He says Paul has been reduced to less than advocate and is just a mouth. He says mouths need to be fed. He says how can he feed if he has no head? He says Paul is scared and is here for damage control. Oba says this is the end and the final chapter. Oba says he will beat Brock in front of his wife and children. He says he has learned that you have to walk through hell to get through heaven and says to tell Brock that he will see him in hell.

Dom says to give them the money and it can be fixed. Dom threatens to make his life a living hell if they don't get their money.

Sami gets in the ring for the main. A garage door is pulled up and CM Punk shows up behind it.

World Heavyweight Title - Sami Zayn (c) vs CM Punk

Punk side headlocks Sami then shoulders him over. Sami side headlocks him and chops him. Punk hits a corner spear and some chops. Sami hits corner spears then mounted corner punches on Punk. Punk atomic drops him then hits mounted corner punches. Punk's throat is pulled over the top rope and Sami's head is banged off the apron. Punk topes Sami. We go to break and return. Sami elbow drops Punk in the face and knees him in the face. 

Punk's head is banged off the buckles and Sami 2nd rope double axe handles him. Punk hits lariats on Sami then he leg lariats him. Punk step up knees him then Punk swinging neckbreakers him for 2. 

Punk hits a pepsi twist lariat for 2. Punk gets crotched up top. Sami top rope superplexes him. We go to break and return. They trade punches on their knees. Punk forearms him. Punk high kicks him then step up knees him. Sami blue thunders him for 2.

Sami misses a helluva kick and Punk hits his own helluva kick on Sami. Punk hits GTS on Sami and pins him.

Thoughts: Punk was definitely the favorite going in here and won. It also wasn't a shock that Punk was mystery opponent as the crowd expected it. They did each other's moves a lot here. The match was alright but not super athletic and it didn't have a lot big spots. It was okay enough but not super memorable outside of the result. I don't like them blowing Sami's story of not being able to win the title like this. They got little out of the build and little out of the reign. 

Punk celebrates in the crowd after. 

Overall thoughts: They started the show off well with the Gunther/Cody angle and Seth doing a good promo on Roman. The tag title match was nothing special. Sol/Raquel should have been better. Gable's match was alright enough. Punk being the surprise man wasn't too shocking and neither was him beating Sami. The main was fine enough, just nothing too memorable outside of the result and I thought they wasted the story of Sami finally winning the title. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 overall and it was an okay show. 

WWE LFG 7/5/2026 Season 3, Episode 11

WWE LFG 7/5/2026 Season 3, Episode 11

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/wwe-lfg-6282026-season-3-episode-10.html

Sirena Linton talks about being added to the NXT Live Event loop. We see her in action. She says it was a lot of fun. 

The coaches talk. Kevin Owens vs PJ Vasa vs Sirena Linton. Bubba has Jaime Garcia vs Braxton Cole. Bloom wants to see Cole do more with his book. Booker T has Apollo Crews and Elijah Holyfield vs Hank and Tank. Bloom says it's Eli's first chance to face an established team. Booker says Eli is money. 

PJ Vasa talks about Sirena Linton, saying she's her best friend at the PC and can be a star someday. Sirena says PJ is aggressive and says she needs to use every ounce of energy against her. Owens tries to teach them how to do the match.

PJ Vasa vs Sirena Linton

We are at the Evolve Arena for this. Sirena has already been fired.

SL dropkicks her twice to start. She chest forearm flurries her in the corner and back elbows her out of the corner. PJ catches her off the buckles and slams her. SL dropkicks her and this shots in the corner. PJ headbutts her down.

Thoughts: It was fine. SL sold and flurries on PJ. PJ bullied her around a little. I thought they had the general idea of this down. 

Owens talks to the girls after. He says what SL did in the beginning was good. Owens says PJ looked like she was going through the motions which I agree with. SL said she got to show something as "Miss Spicy". Owens says SL isn't ready for NXT yet.

Bubba talks to Braxton and Jaime Garcia. Bubba says we've seen the book work and not work for Cole. Bubba says let's have a match where the face sees the book coming. Bubba says he only sees Cole getting mad from Garcia frustrating him. 

They practice the match. Cole says Bubba teaches him how to get the emotion out of the crowd. Bubba wants Cole to do the Flair bump off the top.  

Braxton Cole vs Jaime Garcia

This is in the Evolve Arena. Cole gets on the mic before the match and asks the crowd to shut up. He says he's the PhD of WWE. He says he will read his favorite book passage for them. The crowd chants, "you can't read" at him. JG interrupts before he finishes. 

JG waistlock takedowns him several times then rolls him into the ropes. Cole side headlock takeovers him. JG headscissors him and tries a pin off of it. The crowd chants "nerd" at Cole. JG bridges out of a wristlock and hits chops. JG rolls into a dropkick on him. 

JG enzugiri's him from the apron. Cole throws him off the top rope. Cole hits a bad facekick for 2. Cole tries a butt drop on the back and JG gets his knees up. JG hits him in the gut and slaps him. JG claymore kicks him.

JG overhead throws him for 2. Cole release suplexes him. Cole grabs his book and JG dropkicks the book in his face. JG pins him.

Thoughts: The match needed a little more. JG did some some fire and picked up things at time times. I liked some of the crowd chants at Cole. It wasn't that bad though.

Bubba says they have to work on Cole's arrogance. Bubba says Cole didn't show frustration and gives him ideas on how to do that. Cole says there's some things he f*cked up on. Bubba says JG gets nervous if he gets no reaction and tells him not to do that.

Booker T talks Hank, Tank, Elijah and Apollo Crews. Tank's excited as usual. Booker asks what the goal is and the wrestlers don't know. Booker says everyone knows Hank and Tank and they gotta get the crowd to know Elijah. Booker wants them to get Elijah over.

They practice the match. Eli says Hank and Tank taught at his tryout. Hank says Eli learning under Crews is like learning from Isaac Newton. They practice the match. Booker wants Hank to practice getting up for a slam with his right toe. Booker says he was taught that.

Hank and Tank (Hank Walker and Tank Ledger) vs Apollo Crews and Elijah Holyfield

We are at the NXT Arena for this. 

They all shake hands to start. Tank and AC lock up. AC side headlocks him. AC side headlock takeovers him and gets headscissored. They repeat the spot with different roles and AC armdrags him. 

Tank side headlocks AC. The four shoulderblock each other. Tank is thrown out. Hank yanks on Eli's arm. Hank 2nd rope double ae ahandles Eli. Hank backs off from a punch then takes a flying shoulderblock. AC boots Hank in the corner. Eli then does the same and AC boots Hank more.

Hank takes a double shoulderblock and AC elbow drops Hank for 2. Eli clubs on Hank. Tank comes in and hits lariats. Tank atomic drops AC and 2nd rope twisting shoulderblocks him. Tank fallaway slams AC. Tank cartwheels and lariats Eli for 2. AC pump kicks Hank. Tank knees Ac in the face. Eli spinebusters Tank.

Eli hits an uppercut on Hank when Tank is moved out of the way. Tank then rolls up Eli and pins him.

Thoughts: It wasn't quite as great as it could have been. Hank and Tank work better with pure heels. I think Eli and AC needed more emotion here and I didn't think Eli was able to stick out. I think some more flying from AC might have helped this too. It was a little below average.

Shawn Michaels and Bloom love the match. Booker says Eli did his job and passed the test. Tank says Eli kicked @ss all day. Hank and Tank are excited about the match. Booker says 2026 could be a breakout year for Eli.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual episode for this season. The coaches go over the match, the wrestlers try the match then match is reviewed after. PJ/Sirena was fine. Cole/Garcia wasn't bad but needed more. I did not like the main event as much as everyone else did and I didn't think Elijah was featured that much in it. There's nothing you really need to see on this one and nothing was that great. It was an easy watch though.

Thoughts: The Mexa Boyz could have been a bit cleaner as usual here but it's not like they were botching stuff. It was acceptable. They kept things moving had a lot of action.

Hijo and Emp grab waters in the back and talk. They seem happy about the win.

Cibernetico, Chessman and Hell talk in the back. Chess and Hell argue but get on the same page and they do a group cheer.

La Puerquiza Extrema (Pig Destroyer, Pig Destructor & Pig Decapitad) vs Los Hellbrothers (Cibernetico, Hell and Chessman)

Pig Destructor has the gray mohawk. Destroyer has the green hair. The Pigs shoot off sparklers as they enter. The Pigs have a 4th pig with them today. One of the Pig's talks before the match and starts a chant. Ciber then talks to them.

Decap is given a chair and he nails Pig Pool on accident. Ciber chokeslams Decap then Hell top rope frogsplashes Decap. Hell pins Decap.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. They wasted a lot of time competing for cheers. The Pigs are all bigger dudes and it limits what they can do and Ciber also wasn't doing a lot but chops and lariats here.  Magadan had trouble figuring out which Pig was which and I don't blame him.

Magadan talks about the main event and closes the show. 

Overall thoughts: The lighting was very bad here. It was too dark at times. We only had 2 matches here. The opener was acceptable as The Boyz flew and they didn't overdo it too much. The main wasn't that good. They spent a lot of time playing to the crowd and there were too many limited wrestlers here who could only do so much. The show continues to not make the most of the time they have and the show doesn't really have week to week stories or even titles currently. You just don't know what you are going to get each week, but you can almost be sure it won't be followed up. I do continue to like their AI videos though and I wish they would get graphics for each wrestler's name to help the viewer figure out who is who. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as it was a little below average and the show just doesn't have a lot of high quality stuff on it at the moment.

Thoughts: It went better than expected. They had a styles clash here but were mostly able to work with it. I don't know if Kam just slipped on his springboard or if he was supposed to miss it. This was alright.

Thoughts: Stigma's team changed up their gear some to make it easier to figure out who is who but it's still hard to tell Stig and Rayo apart when they are moving. The faces didn't get that much in here and weren't super exciting. This was average.

Lluvia, Garra Negra and India Sioux vs Keyra, Olympia and Hera

Lluvia is in the yellow. Hera is in the blue and black.

1st Fall - Hera and Garra go at it. Hera armdrags her into an armlock. Garra armdrags her into an armlock. They trade some holds and regroup. Hera flips her over her back. Garra armdrags her. Garra does an STF to Hera. Keyra hair throws Garra and Olym does the same to Garra.

Keyra rolls Garra into a double stomp. Garra hits an electric chair driver on Keyra and pins her. Garra Negra's team wins the falls and match.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. Lluvia is grouped up on for too long in the first half of the match and her partners were helpless to stop it. She then just suddenly came back and reversed the order of thigns and her team won. It went too long and was too one-sided.

One Gem knocks the other over and Stuka topes that Gem outside. Gran catches Gem on the 2nd rope and 2nd rope cradle shocks him for the pin. Stuka Jr.'s team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: It was alright. It got enough time and they had some creative spots. The Gem's hit some topes which was nice and Gran/Stuka were able to work face some.

Thoughts: It was a spring that went 9:35. It was all flying and cool spots for the most part. The selling wasn't that good but it was entertaining and I liked it. It looked exactly like what it looked like on paper.

Mistico, Neon and Star Jr. vs Volador Jr., Averno and Zandokan Jr.

1st Fall - Av boots Mist down and hits shots in the corner. Mist is sent into the rails and Zand sends Star into the rails. Zand chokes Star with his shirt inside. Neon and Star are whippedi nto each other. Star is triple booted out. Mist is group stompedon the ramp.

3rd Fall - Star superkicks Zand on the ramp. Mist throws Zand in by the mask. Mist wants the heels DQ'd for a mask rip by Bestia Negra won't do it. Neon springboard diving headscissors Av and spinning headscissors Vol. Neon backflips into tilt-a-whirl armdra on Zand.

Star's tope outside is caught and he is double slammed on the floor. Neon topes Zand into the rails. Mist springboard crossbodies Vol then la mistica's him. Zand pulls off Mist's mask and gets his team DQ'd. Mistico's team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: I'm not sure why Av didn't break la mistica up instead of costing his team the match by pulling the mask off, but that's CMLL rudo logic for you. It was nothing too special but it was acceptable enough minus the finish. The rudos did their thing and the faces flew around as you would want.

Averno talks to Mist on the mic after. Av boots Neon over. 

Overall thoughts: The opener was acceptable. The second match with Stigma was average. The women's match went too long and was one-sided. Los Gemelos' match wasn't bad at all. The lightning match was probably the match of the night and the main was acceptable. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 overall. It was alright enough but you could skip this one and not miss much.

WWC Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre 7/5/2026

---

Axel Cruz and Abel Durant are our hosts.

We see the same segment from yesterday with the mayor of San Juan giving Victor Jovica an award. 

Alberto El Patron vs Jake Hager

We join this in progress. Al drops a table on Jake outside the ring. Al then lets a child (who is dressed up as Al) punch and chop Jake. They go in the ring and Al hits a top rope diving lariat on him. Al jumps on him off the top but Jake catches him and belly to belly suplexes him. Jake hits a vader bomb for 2. Jake is swept on the 2nd rope and Al stomps him down. 

We cut ahead and Al gets a 2 count on Jake. Al rolling armbars him. Jake ankle locks him and Al pushes him off. Al step up enzugiri's him. Al goes for a dive and Jake throws water in his face to stop the dive. Jake low blows him but the ref is down and can't count the pin. The fan then comes in the ring. The fan and Al both low blow Jake and Al pins Jake.

Thoughts: I don't know what the deal was with the fan but that part wasn't good. They cut ahead a decent bit here at odd times, likely to skip some botches. Both guys wore t-shirts and Jack seemed to be wearing sneakers too. What we saw didn't look that good. 

Eddie Colon is on the phone. He calls Andrade El Idolo. He says he needs his help and will pay him double. He says things didn't go his way at the Anniversary show and says Orlando, Chicano and Carlito will regret what they did. He tells Idolo to call back as soon as he can. He says Chicano is screwed.

El Hostil Jovan does a promo. He says Brandon The Skater mentioned his father the last time they met. He says he won't forget the disrespect he showed him. Jovan says he'd like to know why Brandon wanted a title match as he has shown he's the true Jr. champ many times. He says he will see him on 7/18 and will show him why he's the champ. We saw this yesterday.

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 saw this yesterday.

Orlando Colon, Carlito Colon and Chicano come out together to talk. Orlando says the Anniversary show as historic. He says he finally did what no one else was able to do and he eliminated the fraud Ray Gonzalez. He says he told him the truth always comes out in the end and asks the fans who won? He says they also had to sacrifice...and he says he can't talk about it. 

Carlito Colon talks. He says he doesn't want to explain things to the people and doesn't care. Chicano goes to talk. Zcion RT1 interrupts.  

RT1 says they are in the house of the supreme leader. He says him and Chicano were supposed to team up to face Eddie and Intelecto Cinco Estrellas but he says Chicano has sold out to The Colon's. He asks what happened to the "blood is blood" saying? He says The Colon's betrayed Eddie last night, so blood isn't blood. Chicano says they are always one step ahead and says you always have to walk forward. He says Rt1 has the Universal Title and is telling people blood is blood. Chicano asks RT1 how many times did he attack him before? Chicano says the fans are shortsighted. He says they were supposed to be a team today but he has an idea. He says if RT1 wants to fight, he needs to find 2 partners. He asks who he can find when the locker room morale is so low. He asks who his partners will be.

RT1 says they could do a 3v1, but he's a chief revolutionary. He says there's a lot of people in the back who want to beat them up and says he'll find two partners as he's the ultimate bad@ss.

Thoughts: If you were looking for an explanation here on the Orlando/Carlito turn on Eddie or the Chicano heel turn, we didn't get them here. I doubt we will ever get one. 

Lou Forza does a promo. Lou says he's aware that Nice and Benabe beat them once but says he and Sole won the war. Lou shows off his newly won tag title. Lou says he knows Nice and Oscar will get their rematch but says the ending will be the same. Lou says they will show that they have the perfect aura and create the perfect moments. We saw this yesterday.

John Hawking does a promo. He says everyone knows Hijo de Dos Caras' achievements. He says he's a strong opponent but you are wrong if you think Dos will beat him. He says he's defending all of the people in the Caribbean and says the title stays with him in the WWC. We saw this yesterday.

Chicano, Orlando Colon and Carlito Colon vs Ray Gonzalez, Zcion RT1 and La Amenaza Bryan

Zcion RT1 comes out for his match and is attacked by Carlito, Orlando and Chicano. La Amenaza Bryan comes out to help him. Carlito bangs Bryan's head off a table then sends him into the wall. RT1's head is banged off the table. Carlito boots Bryan outside and RT1 is busted open. Ray Gonzalez comes out to help Bryan and RT1. He bangs Chicano's and Carlito's heads together. The faces get the edge on the heels.

Ray hits Orlando with a title belt then hits mounted shots on him.  Ray low blows him then hits him with a title belt. We go to break.

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 yesterday.

Joe Bravo does a promo. Joe says he feels close to the level he should be at. He says he's facing two wrestlers who look like wrestlers in Bryan and Xavant. He says he doesn't doubt their abilities, but doubts thier maturity and mental capacity. He says Bryan spits on himself when he talks and says Xavant lives in a fantasy world where he is the hero of justice. Joe says there's no one who can represent PR better than him. He says he will leave the ring with the PR title. He says he will shut Bryan's mouth and bring Xavant down from his superhero fantasy, fair or foul. We saw this yesterday.

We return from break. RT1 back body drops Carlito and Chicano. He facekicks Chicano and neckbreakers him for 2. Ray sends Carlito into the post outside. Chicano claymore kicks RT1. RT1 neckbreakers Chicano and pins him.

Thoughts: We only saw some of this and I'm not sure how much of it we missed. The outside brawl was something different at least. I was surprised we got a clean finish. It was nice to see some stars battle in a fairly recent match. Carlito's crew should not have lost here as they are a new group and need to be established.

Carlito backcrackers RT1 after. Orlando pounds on Ray outside. Orlando is busted open and the heels all pound on the faces in the ring. Eddie Colon comes out with a pipe and chases away Eddie, Carlito and Chicano. The faces pose near the entrance without Eddie Colon. Eddie Colon doesn't know what to make of it. 

Andrade El Idolo does a promo.  He says he has been busy and couldn't answer Eddie Colon. He says he doesn't know who Chicano and doesn't tell him. he says he and Eddie have a good history and friendship and he'll be there to Chicano...or whoever he puts in front of him.

Axel and Abel talk about the next show and close the show.

Overall thoughts: We really didn't see many clips of the big Anniversary show here which was a bit disappointing. They showed clips from the show the night after instead, which had a completely different card than what was advertised. I have a feeling that we may see about half of some of the bigger matches from the Anniversary show at some point and some clips, but not much else. What we saw of Hager/Alberto didn't look good. We got no real explanation on the reasoning behind the Orlando/Carlito/Chicano group. I liked what we got of the three-way, but I think we probably didn't see a lot of it. They also replayed a bunch of promos from yesterday here. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 as it was the usual below average WWC show. I wouldn't recommend this one.
