Tessa talks on the mic after. She says she doesn't like winning like that and likes winning in the middle of the ring. Tess says they want another match. Pers mocks her and says she hasn't seen a dumber foreigner than her. They then all fight. I'm not sure how the foreigner line works since both Pers and Tess were born in the US.

Hechicero's team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see Vol and Hech win in 2 straight falls. It doesn't really matter though. Both teams got enough offense in but it didn't have the time to be anything great. It was acceptable.

Vol challenges Flip for his NWA World Historic Middleweight Title after. Flip agrees and tells a ref to come down now. Hech comes down and Vol says Hech can be the ref.

Thoughts: It was alright. The heels stuck to the basics for the most part then the faces made their comeback. They did overdo it a little but the tag format covered some of the issues. I thought this could have been a little shorter. I figured Mistico's team would win here as it only made sense.

The announcer then closes the show. 

Overall thoughts: The opener was fine. The women's match was so-so. The Villanos tag was okay but it dragged a little and wasn't their best possible effort. Star Jr.'s tag was acceptable as was the semi-main. The main was alright and maybe the best match of the night. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as it was an okay show, but there was nothing must see here.

Talla says they got word from the elders and says him and Tama are out. Solo says they can't leave and Tama says they just did. Solo says he brought them here and they can't just leave. He says nobody leaves him.

Thoughts: I'm interested to see where things go. They fired the other MFT's. I think Tama does have enough talent to be like a US Title level guy but I think Talla and Solo need to be part of a group.

Thoughts: I don't agree with Giulia winning here. She's just not exciting enough as a face and she doesn't really have the fire for it. I don't know how much longer this Giulia experiment has to go on because it's not working. If Kiana gets away from this feud, even if she loses, she will be better off. This was just so-so.

Blake Monroe debuts on SD after and attacks Giulia. She drops her with a gotch style piledriver.

Cody Rhodes comes out. Sami Zayn comes out before he can say anything. Sami thanks all of his ride or die fans. Sami says he regret how some things went down last week. He says he was provoked but he's a good guy, the last real good guy. He says he regrets getting physically involved and says it was a mistake. Cody asks if it was a mistake. 

Sami says this is not how he wanted things to go with Cody. Cody says enough and says this is how Sami wanted it. Cody says things are really looking up for Sami when he's supposed to be a guy who doesn't get many breaks. He says Sami isn't a victim, he's exhausting. He says he doesn't get how he can be best friends with Kevin Owens. He says Owens would have came out and stabbed him in the front and not the back. He says Owens also has been WWE champ.

Sami says to keep Owens' name out of his mouth. Sami says Cody is only champ because of him and should be thanking him. He says the reason Cody won't be WWE champ at NoC is because of him. 

Gunther comes out and asks what the drama is about. He says he doesn't care and wants the title. Gun says he would be champ if Sami didn't screw him. Gun says Sami is wrong though as Sami won't leave with the title, and he will. Jey Uso comes out. He wants to run it back and Gun says not on his time. 

Jey says he will punch his ticket to Summerslam when he wins KOTR. He gives out warning shots to Cody and Sami. Jey says he will tap him out like a little b!tch again. They all end up fighting. The lights go out and Oba Femi comes out. 

Cody gets distracted and Jey superkicks Cody. Oba stares down Jey. Gunther rainmakers Jey. Sami hits Gunther with a title. Cody hits a cross rhodes on Sami. Cody holds his title up at Oba.

Overall thoughts: Storyline wise, the show was good. They've got a lot going on with Sami/Cody/Gunther, LA and maybe Solo vs Bloodline, Danhausen turning Miz/Kit into zombies and Tiff/Chelsea doing their thing. I can't say I'm that into it though. Wrestling wise, the show was below average. We had a lot of women's matches and those were only so good and wrestling wise, I didn't love a single thing here. I also thought there was way too much talking here and I got tired of seeing Byron Saxton after his 3rd appearance. Smackdown moves back to 2 hours next week and I'm excited for that. The show just drags at 3 hours and there's too many commercials. They also just don't have the starpower. I'd blame that on a mix of relying on older talent, NXT Black and Gold focusing on indy wrestling over producing stars, AEW's existence and WWE making some bad choices on picking future stars (Priest, Solo, Balor, Giulia, Jade and others). I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and would say it was okay overall.

WWE Main Event 6/25/2026

WWE Main Event 6/25/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/wwe-main-event-5182026.html

Thoughts: It was a bit weird as LeRae isn't really a face but kind of became one near the end of it. I think they did some editing on the crowd reactions here as it sounded like they were more into this than they should have. The match wasn't anything too special. 

Sol Ruca vs Natalya

They shake hands after.

LWO (Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro) vs Los Americanos (Rayo and Bravo Americano)

Rayo takes a flying headscissors from Cruz. Rayo boots him away and they headflip up together before standing off. JW and Bravo get in. JW rolls and dances then Bravo does the same. JW jumps and is atomic dropped. Bravo hits punches on JW and drops him with an uppercut. Bravo is sent out to the floor but JW's crotch is pulled into the post.

JW casadora armdrags an opponent then Cruz springboard diving armdrags the other. The LWO do stereo topes. Rayo 2nd rope hurricanrana's JW. Bravo top rope crossbodies JW then pop up kicks him. Bravo back body drops Cruz. Bravo does an airplane spin while doing a giant swing, but barely gets it off. 

JW takes a dropkick + vertigo for 2. Cruz enzugiri's Bravo from the apron then top rope dropicks Bravo. Rayo flying enzugiri's Cruz. JW rolls and eats a basement dropkick. Bravo top rope splashes JW and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a short. They did what they could with it but the time just wasn't there to be anything special. I'm not really sold on either team's chances of any upward movement at the moment and think both are pretty much dead creatively on the main roster.

Overall thoughts: We had 3 new matches here. None of them were that great but Sol/Natalya was the best match here. LeRae was the face in her match vs Jacy which seemed to work better than I thought if you listen to the crowd reactions. The main didn't get a lot of time and both teams are currently going nowhere on the roster. Sol didn't fly much in her match but it worked out. I wouldn't really recommend this one as it was average but you can get through all the new content in under 30 minutes.

Thoughts: It was an alright match here. It wasn't quite as good as it could have been but it was enough. This was a random one and Ace lost as expected.

Mark tells anyone, anywhere to step up after.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good and it went too long. This was only going to be so good because all of the girls in this are limited. Van had a bad night with some sloppy moments as usual.

Thoughts: It was alright. Syu went for a bunch of arm submissions near the end and eventually one with one. I think it could have been a little shorter and a bit more fiery though. Not sure why they had Billie do the job here though.

We get a Lio Rush video with him acting goofy and saying "it's fine" and "let me out". 

We see an Action Andretti interview from last week. He says the match with Lio was BS. He says Lio shouldn't have been in it as he lost to AR during his title shot. Action tells Lio to take care of the title and enjoy it as he's coming for it.

Mark Sterling does the intro for his team. Mark says Beef has lost 40lbs since they whipped him into shape. Mark says Beef will never look like Nese and Ari but won't look like a fat slob lie the people of Cincinati. He then tries to do the cheer.

Beef takes a spinning forearm then a tazzmission and a choke. KS PK's Beef and pins him.

Thoughts: It was acceptable but not much more. We only really had one true face here in Beef and The Athletes were clearly not going to win this so the excitement wasn't quite there. 

Sammy Guevara does a promo. He says he has been back to back with trips to CMLL and AEW. He says him and Mortos have been kicking @ss in Mexico. He says he's going back to Arena Mexico and says it's sold out because he's everyone's favorite luchador.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one. Solo got most of the offense in and Mikey won here. This was random and win or lose, it didn't do a lot for anyone.

The Outrunners and Dalton Castle are interviewed. Truth says if The Lethal Twist want to ride the lightning, they better hope they don't catch the thunder. Turbo says good luck getting the title off of him as it's on him all the time and it leaks. Dalton says, "Lethal Twist, what the heck?".

Thoughts: It wasn't quite as good as it could have been and the finish feel flat. The two just mostly hit various shots on each other here and didn't really get a good flow going.

They hug after.

The Opps do a promo. Hook says he has winning on his mind and Bowens says he has violence on his mind. Hook says gold is on his mind. He says they are challenging The Conglomeration for Collision and say they won't make Forbidden Door.

Olym gorilla press slams her for 2. Olym does an indian deathlock without the legs hooked. DP uses her first ropebreak. DP la mistica's her and taps her out.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. Olym didn't bring a lot to this one and DP won as expected. DP mostly did arm submissions here.

They shake hands after.

Overall thoughts: It was a so-so show overall. We had a bunch of random and cold matches and none of them were particularly great or memorable. The crowd wasn't that into this and I don't really blame them. I'd say Mark Davis vs Ace was the best match of the night but that is not saying much here. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 as it was pretty underwhelming and not that good.

Thoughts: This had all the excitement of a funeral. I don't know what happened but the crowd looked like they were almost being forced to be there. They didn't react to anything and brought it down. The match made sense but some of the strikes could have been better. The work was acceptable, but the greatest match ever would have came off poorly with these fans. I don't love that the tag titles have changed hands yet again though as we've had 3 title changes recently.

Extreme Rules - Pupe Jackson vs Jose "El Mencho" Navarro

Jose waits for him at the entrance but Pupe comes from the other side and hits him with a garbage can lid. Pupe knocks him over a rail and hits him with a beer. Pupe hits him with a baseball bat. They go into the stands and Pupe tries to throw him off the stands.

Jose hits him with a trash can. Pupe michinoku drivers him on a trash can. Pupe top rope elbow drops him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a good match. It got a lot of time, they bled, they used weapons, they brawled and they did what they were supposed to do. Pupe showed he can do a serious singles match as a face here also. I had no issues with it, though I guess a few minutes could have been cut off. They also got this crowd into it which was like moving a mountain.

Jose hits Pupe from behind after with a trash can. Jose then hits him in the face with his boot. Jose handcuffs Pupe to the ropes and whips him with a belt. Pupe Jackson's wife comes in (she got involved before and Jose rode on her back and whipped her). Pupe's wife takes the belt away. Jose grabs her hands and she kicks Jose in the nuts. Jose grabs a  large wine bottle and hits Pupe's wife in the head with it. Jose sits on her and refs come to help Pupe's wife. Pupe is unhandcuffed and checks on his wife.

Overall thoughts: We had 2 matches here. The crowd absolutely destroyed the opener as they reacted to nothing and looked like they were being held against their will during it. The work was acceptable but the crowd ruined it. Pupe/Jose was a good main event style match. They brawled, bled, used weapons and generally did everything you are supposed to do in a big gimmick match. It went well. We then got a big angle after with Jose hitting Pupe's wife with a wine bottle. The main is a solid watch here and the post-match angle was wild. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and thought it was fine overall.

TNA Impact 6/25/2026

TNA Impact 6/25/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/tna-impact-6182026.html

We are in Denver, CO. Tom Hannifan and Matt Rehwoldt are on commentary.

The Hardy's come out to talk. Matt says they have been reborn and stepping into The Wicked Garden rejuvenated them. Matt says it was one of a kind and they needed The Righteous to change them. He says it forced The Hardy's to evolve and ascend. Jeff says he's not the same and says they are re-broken by fate. Matt says they will win back their TNA Tag Titles. 

The Righteous come out. Vince says The Hardy's are unbelievable. Vince says The Righteous walked them through the garden and gave them every version of The Hardy's. Vince says there's still more, isn't there Vince says he's grateful they are telling the truth. 

Matt says they don't know what they opened up inside of them. The System of Bear Bronson and Brian Myers comes out. Brian says they are talking about mumbo jumbo. Brian says only the tag titles matter here. Bear says they don't care who either of them are or what the people want. Bear says he sees two guys who want to take food off their table. Bear says to try it and says they will eat them alive. 

Matt says they will see The Hardy's take the tag titles back. Brian asks what Matt will do about that. Matt says "delete" and starts hitting the other two teams. They all fight outside. Jeff brings a ladder into the ring. Matt is sent into the apron edge. Jeff climbs the ladder and the other two teams leave. 

Daria Rae says it's always chaos around here. The Order go up to her. Daria says it's been nothing but chaos but she recommends good behavior when she sees it. She says she wants to reward The Good Hands and now they are part of the ladder match for the tag titles at Slammiversary. Ali says he always liked her more than Santino.

George Iceman/The Personal Concierge does the intro for Ash By Elegance. George hypes up Ash as making her big return and being one of the greatest champs of all time.  

Ash By Elegance vs Mara Sade

Ash screams as the crowd calls her a mark. Ash gets on the mic and  says she's not a mark. Ash says she needs another mental health break now and asks M to take her place. Ash throws a wild tantrum in the ring. Ash then leaves.

M misses a high kick and Mara hits shots on her. Elayna Black comes onto the stage. Mara hits punches and shots on M. M is pulled over the top. Mara chops and punches M outside. Mara chases her around the ring and dropkicks her off the steps.

Eric Young does a video. He says he's trying to show Ricky Sosa that having a viral video for a month means nothing. He says he is talented and has potential but everything has a price. He says there's rules and a hierarchy in wrestling and says he feels like Sosa is taking it for granted. He says he feels there's a lesson to be taught there that may make him better. He says it's a test. He says he has nothing against Sosa but there's levels to this and he will understand at Slammiversary.

Manny hits AJ from behind. AJ throws him down then corner splashes him. AJ throws him on an AA. AJ running knees him in the corner. AJ does Elijah's rope walk and chops Manny off of it. AJ misses a senton. Manny hits orner lariats then AJ spears him. AJ hits a big chokeslam and wins.

Thoughts: AJ won as expected. AJ's rope walk was impressive but it was a bit slower paced and not that interesting.

Elijah gets on the tron. He insults AJ. He says he won't convince anyone that he's anything but a clown and imposter. He says he will never be him. He says he will get everything back at Slammiversary and then some. He then burns a cease and desist letter.

Xia Brookside vs Harley Hudson

Xia elbow drops HH as she does push-up's in the ring. Xia dropkicks her. HH hits armdrags and slams her for 2. HH overhead suplexes her then does push uo's on her back.

TNA Injury Report

Ash By Elegance is out of action. We are told the medical staff was involved in the Nemeth/Santana pre-taped segment. We are also told the medical staff is getting ready for the Slammiversary ladder match. 

Carlos Silva, Nic Nemeth, Gia Miller and Mike Santana sit down for a summit. Nic says Mike has done it all and had a killer year. Nic said he had 23 consecutive years and Mike just had one good year.

Mike says Nic wasn't there when he had to see his mom get abused and identify his dad's body. He says Nic wasn't there when he was at rehab centers. He says the TNA Title is bigger than wrestling and it's his life. Mike says Nic has done it all, but Mike says he was there when TNA needed someone. He says Nic was doing other things. Mike says we all thought Nic was going to be that guy but Mike says he was the guy day in and day out. 

Nic says Mike made good points but doesn't get it. Nic says being an international star is different than having a good year. He says Mike might understand someday what it's like when people offer big money contracts for matches. Nic says Mike can hide under his sunglasses and says his daughter doesn't has to see his tears. Nic says Mike's father isn't around to watch him fail one more time. 

They get up. Mike tells Carlos to cash a check and he punches out Nic. Ryan Nemeth then hits Mike from behind. Mike chokes him. Nic then bangs Mike's head off a table several times. 

Moose comes out to talk with JDC. Moose says there's no pins or submissions in his Slammiversary match with Eddie Edwards. He says someone has to throw the towel in for them. Moose says Eddie stabbed him and JDC in the back and says payback is a b!tch just like his wife.

Eddie Edwards comes out with Alisha Edwards. Eddie says he didn't destroy anything. Eddie says JDC and Moose were a cancer in The System who prevented them from getting to the next level of greatness. Eddie says they tore the cancer out and rebuilt The System better than before. Eddie says he will end this once and for all.

JDC says he knew Eddie for 25 years. He says he doesn't it personally. He says Eddie's passionfor wrestling makes him sick. He says Eddie will lose everything including his daughter. Alisha says The System are better. Alisha says Moose wants revenge on her as she played him like the fool he is. Alisha tells Moose to hit her if he wants revenge and says do it. Moose and JDC walk out. Alisha calls him a coward and Moose goes back in. JDC stops Moose. Alisha says she'd rather die than throw in the towel. Moose promises a funeral at Slammiversary. 

We get a video on Ricky Sosa vs Eric Young.

KC code red's Kaz. Ced death valley drivers KC. Fab 2nd rope twisting crossbodies Ced. Mr spinning ddt's Fab and Leon top rope swanton 450's Mr. Kaz then pins Leon to win.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout here. We had a lot of fast action and a lot of bodies flying everywhere. They did the usual run at the end where everyone hits a big move before moving to the next guy. It was what it should have been and pretty much blew anything else on this out of the water even though it wasn't particularly memorable. 

Nic Nemeth comes out to talk. He says he has breaking news. He says he doesn't think Mike will make it to Slammiversary or come back to wrestling. Nic wants to be crowned champ now and tells Carlos Silva to come out.

Ryan Nemeth is thrown onto the stage and his ripped clothes. Mike Santana follows and has a bloody face. Mike throws Ryan down the ramp. Security stops Santana from getting at Nic. No fight ends up happening. 

Overall thoughts: This show wasn't much of note at all. A lot of people were not in action and there was a lot more talking than wrestling. The trios match was by far the best bout here, but it had little competition. This was truly just a throwaway and forgettable show, but at least they did build up Slammiversary a bit and added some to the various matches. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 as it was average.

Jas says she doesn't need the Monster Corp to be successful and has a Plan B. She has a more vicious and lethal replacement waiting in the wings. Jas then shots off a pregnant stomach.

Caleb says for 20 years from the Impact Zone to Daily's Place, he has said yes sir and no sir and did what he was asked. He says it got him nowhere. He said he told Facade on Day 1 that he would run this company and now it belongs to him. He says you don't have to like him but you will respect the champ.

J says he doesn't endorse that. Russo then brings up J accusing him of putting a hit on Mack and Tony. J says he saw the smoke coming off of him so he accused him of fire. 

Russo asks J what is going on with The Purple Phantom. J says he's not the same as The Green Phantom. Russo says he cares about him and his well-being. He asks if J really wants to get in the ring tonight. J says Russo is more of an @sshole when he has the bat in his hand and is more open to dialog when he doesn't. Russo says J had a physical condition in the past and asks if he wants to do this. J says let's see what condition The Luciano Family is in after tonight. 

Mac Davis goes up to Facade. He says he knew before the match happened that Violent J would reverse the decision. He says the match was about teaching a lesson about cheating and taking shortcuts. He says Facade was his grandson's favorite wrestler until he attacked Violent J and took shortcuts. He says his grandson and others know Facade is better than that. He says Facade needs to know that he's better than that. Mac asks if they are good.

PP looks like The Green Phantom but there's no beard. PP says he's here for the people and says it's the color of the people.

Bron says he hasn't been harsh enough and says the people are more repulsive than the next person. He says people boo him because he's a mirror and they don't like what they see.

Thoughts: It was average. I would have liked to have seen Kane get thrown around a bit more. At least he didn't lose clean.

Big Al grabs HoKane after. She throws her into the post and stomps her. 

Barnabus complains and says he thought things were over with him and the mystery girl. It's revealed to be Dani Mo. Dani says it's not over until she says it's over...dad.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual Lunacy show. The matches were all average, but that's a bit of an improvement over what we have seen some weeks. It's the stories that make and break this show and the stories were interesting this week. The JWO stuff was fun, Vito's stuff is always entertaining, Jasmine's story is off to a good start and the Outbreak/Dealer story has been working. I'd say the Anything Goes Match was the best bout of the night. It was a fun show, mostly due to the various stories. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as I thought it was a fun and easy watch.
