AAA on Fox 7/18/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/aaa-on-fox-7112026.html

We are in San Luis Potosi. JBL and Corey Graves are on commentary. Savio Vega and Rey Mysterio do some translations.

We see various wrestlers arrive.

Rey Mysterio comes out to talk. He asks the fans to raise their hands if they've been fired before. He says the fans can't always fix the injustice but he's the GM and he can. He asks Andrea Bazarte to come out.

Andrea Bazarte comes in. Rey apologizes for all she has been through. He wants to compensate her and offers her a new contract. He says it's like the last one but with more money for the inconvenience. Andrea says she can't believe all the great moments she has experience since she has gotten here. She says AAA showed they are the best company in the world and have the best fans in the world. She accepts the new contract and thanks Rey. 

Rey then talks about the vacant AAA Latin American Title. He says El Hijo de Vikingo will be out for a while. He says if you want something, you have to win and fight for it. He says here will be 4 three-way matches for those with La Parka vs Mecha Wolf vs Dragon Lee. He says it'll also be La Fiscal vs Cruz del Toro vs Psycho Clown. He says there will then be Omos vs Damian Priest vs Galeno del Mal. He says the first match will happen tonight. Omos and Dorian Roldan were watching this in the back and Omos thought he wouldn't be included. 

AAA Latin American Title Qualifier - Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. vs Abismo Negro vs Texano Jr.

Negro pushes his opponents and is double chopped down. Doc armdrags and reverse headscissors Tex. Tex sweeps him and they stand off. Negro double lariats his opponents and throws Doc out. Negro slaps Tex. Negro back elbows Tex and spinebusters him. Negro tries to pin him with his feet on the ropes and gets caught.

Doc hits forearms on Negro and is dropkicked in the knee. Negro rips at doc's mask and Tex rolls up Dox. Doc rolls up Tex. Doc hits kicks on Tex and superkicks him out of the ring. Doc rope walk flip dives both opponents outside.

Doc throws Tex out and Negro tries to pin Doc while using the ropes. Negro pulls at Doc's mask. Negro grabs knucks and hits Tex with them, knocking off the apron. Doc spinning forearms Negro and michinoku drivers him. Doc pins Negro.

Thoughts: I don't think this was designed for Texano Jr. to get the most over, but that's what happened as he had a good night and threw hard shots. None of these guys are big flyers, so it was a different type of three way than usual. It was fine enough but nothing too special. I can get why they like Doc so much on paper, but in real life, there's a lot of people who are better than he is.

La Hiedra and Laredo Kid talk to Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana. Lola and Iguana don't care. Hiedra says she figured out why she hasn't been able to win the Mixed Tag Titles. She says it's because she had the wrong luchador by her side. She says she has a champ and someone who can show her the ropes now. She says they are both from Laredo. She says they will win tonight and then says the next show can't happen without them. Lola tells Iguana that Hiedra is still in love with him. Iguana spits something out and says he can't blame her.

We see a hidden cam of Psycho Clown hugging The Psycho Circus in the back.

#1 Contender's to the AAA Mixed Tag Ttiles - La Hiedra and Laredo Kid vs Faby Apache and Joaquin Wilde

Hiedra stunners Faby and pins her.

Thoughts: It went pretty well. I'm a long time fan of Faby and she's a real vet at what she does. This couldn't have gone much better than it did and I would have been fine with this going even longer. Hiedra's team won here as expected and they kind of have to win the Mixed Tag Titles or the story ends. This was an okay match.

Rey Mysterio does a press conference. He says he's surprised by Dominik Mysterio's actions vs Perros del Mal and he can't wait to see what happens. He talks about next week's Verano de Escandalo card. Rey says Octagon Jr. suffered a neck injury and has a long way to go to recover. He says he sends his best wishes to him and says a spot will be waiting when he returns.

Rey is asked if Triplemania is sold out and Rey says it's almost sold out. He says to buy your tickets for that and the 7/25 show soon. 

Los Perros del Mal come out. They talk. Daga says he has been asked what happened to Perros del Mal many times. He says everyone would lose time finding the answer. He says everyone wants to become popular on social media instead of becoming dangerous. He says Perros weren't born to be in war with Mexico but were born because the business was become weak. He says that's why people like Damian 666 and Halloween reminded people how to fight and get what you deserve. Daga says that's why they are back. Daga says when you are a Perro, you will always be a Perro. 

He says Angel and Berto were born to become stars and re two men that are accustomed to have what they deserve. He says Bronco Nima is the most dangerous man in the industry and doesn't have  to ask for permission for anything. He says if you look at Karmen Petrovic, you are screwed. Daga says he's one of the chosen and the last man that Perro Aguayo Jr. trusted to take the Perros flag. 

Daga says they didn't come here to ask for opportunities or respect, they came to become the nightmare to everyone in the locker room. Daga says they are the ones that make the rules. He says he wants to see if Dominik Mysterio is brave enough to face them in person like he was on camera. Daga says he accepts Dom's challenge for the Dom/Grande vs Perros match. He says God forgives and Perros don't.

Dominik Mysterio comes out and El Grade Americano follows. Rayo and Bravo Americano get on the commentary table. Everyone fights in the ring and Karmen cheers on Perros from the outside. The show then ends.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 matches here and both were fine. I liked the mixed tag match best. We also had some announcements, some talking from Perros del Mal and a big fight to close the show. It was a simple one and all roads lead to next week's Verno de Escandalo event. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as the show was fine overall.

Thoughts: I didn't like it at all. They goofed around early to celebrate Poi's birthday then actually had a real match after. It'd be one thing if they did the goofing around before the match, but they did it during the match. So clearly, no one was worried about winning or losing here.

Thoughts: It was a decent match so of course we had a DQ finish at the end. The ref seemingly got pulled out during a pin attempt, but we didn't see it and he didn't seem to mind as he did nothing about it. At least he did DQ the heels for using weapons on Inaba in front of him. This was mostly all Inaba working Tora's leg.

Thoughts: It started off well but went on too long and lost some of it's luster. Saya spammed the spear as usual near the end here. Rina had a better showing than usual. I'd still say it was acceptable overall. 

Saya talks on the mic after. 

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show here. Hina/Suzu and Rina/Utami were the big highlights of this one and both were good. I also mostly liked Mei/Itoh and Inaba/Tora. I hated the opener and Koguma/Ami. Hana/Kikyo wasn't too good either. This had 6 bouts I was positive on though and I'd give this a 7 out of 10 as there was a lot of good wrestling to be had here. This was a good show.

Thoughts: I didn't like the angle on those piledrivers as Gabe couldn't lift him all the way. I liked it otherwise though. They really hit each other hard and Os got to do more than generic big man offense. I'd like to see Gabe work on his punches though instead of doing slaps/open hand shots all the time as those don't look as good. It was an okay bout and they might have a great one in them on another day.

Thoughts: Despite the HoT tactics, it wasn't bad. Because we had 2 sets of heels here, the heels weren't stupid like the faces and actually cheated back. That was more believeable and made more sense. They had an okay story here going on with Ren working CN's arm too.

Thoughts: It was a longer one and was almost all technical wrestling. It wasn't that exciting and it really showed how limited Yuya's offense is. It always feels like Yuya is holding back in his matches and he just never gets the time to do a great match. He got the time here and it was mostly just the same stuff with the armdrags, armlocks, dropkicks and crossbodies. I thought this was a bit boring. As he often is, Zack wasn't real focused on any particular body part and just did random submissions, pin attempts and kicks during it.

Yuya talks on the mic after and high fives people in the crowd.  

Overall thoughts: We had the usual waste of time lower card tag matches to start. Sanada's match was acceptable, as was Shingo's tag. Drilla/Henare was alright but could have been better. Gabe/Oskar was okay and I think they maybe have a great one in them someday. Ren/Newman wasn't bad. Zack/Yuya was a bit boring. It was a bit of a weird card as some things were better than I expected and some things that were locks weren't as good as expected. I'd give it a lower 6 out of 10 as the G1 matches mostly delivered. The show was okay as a whole.

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event XLV 7/18/2026

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event XLV 7/18/2026

The last SNME is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wwe-saturday-nights-main-event-xliv.html

Pre-show Thoughts: The card for this is super weak. This would be a weak line-up even for a Raw or an SD, yet alone a special show like this. The last SNME was weak too. There's no excuse for it. It's just sadly what WWE has been doing all year long - squeezing the fans and doing the bare minimum. I'm happy we are getting an extra show, but what's the harm in getting some other big names on here? 

This show is going up against AEW Collision. 

Countdown to SNME:

Trick Williams vs Laredo Kid

Random isn't even the word for this one, but good for Laredo Kid. I'm interested to see how this goes.

Trick stomps on him. Trick slams him. Kid rolls him up for 2. Trick is pulled over the top rope. Kid dropkicks Trick through the ropes. Kid swantons off the post outside. Kid misses a top rope corkscrew moonsault. Trick hits a trick shot and pins him.

Thoughts: It wasn't anything special. Kid was pretty slow here and there was too much downtime during the match.

Oba Femi talks to Stephanie McMahon in the crowd. Oba says his last match against Brock didn't go in his favor. He says he's miles above Brock in the mental game and says he lives in his head. Oba says Brock has been hiding and running. He says the tides are changing. Oba says he's not locked in there with Brock at Summerslam, Brock is locked in there with him.

Paige backrolls Reid for 2 when Jacy Jayne blatantly interferes. Jacy pushes Reid over onto Paige and Reid pins her.

Thoughts: The finish sucked as there was no way the ref didn't see that one. It was right in front of her. It went okay otherwise though and beat my expectations. It really wasn't that bad at all. Paige's team losing is kind of random but their random was random in general.

Sami Zayn is interviewed. He says he is trying to choose his words carefully. He doesn't want to call himself a victim but says everything that has happened since he won the title has been egregious. He says Cody and Punk just had to ask to get in the Summerslam main and he had to bang his head off the ceiling. He says he then had to beg Nick Aldis to get this. Gunther comes in and tells Sami to stay out of his way and not to ruin Summerslam for him. 

Trick Williams is in the crowd. 

The Judgment Day talk in the back but we can't hear it. They are then interviewed. JD says Danhausen is the curses. He says he will rid judgment Day and WWE of Dan. He says there's no more games.

Dom and JD are pounded on by the mini's. A mini is sent into the rails and another is sent into the steps. Dan then puts his stuffed cat toy into his cloning machine. 

JD elbow drops a mini. Dan's cloning machine makes sounds and shoots off sparks. Karl Anthony Towns of the Knicks then appears out of the box. Karl gets in the ring with Dan. Dan curses the heels. Karl chokeslams JD then chokeslams Dom through a table (with his sunglasses on). Karl curses JD and Dan reverse ddt's JD. Dan pins JD.

Thoughts: It had a lot of shenanigans as expected. Dan didn't really impress here and this was really all about the big spots with the Minihausen's and Karl Anthony Towns coming out. It had some entertainment to it but it could have been better.

Towns, The Minihausen's and Dan pose together. 

Lyra Valkyria is interviewed in the back. She says her and Bayley wrestled for the tag titles last time in this building. She says she wanted to make it to the top and be proud of how she did it. She says now, here we are. She says she can't stop thinking of how she might have been if Bay was who she needed her to be. She says Bay will be out of her head forever after tonight.

Lyra AA's Bay on the bottom part of the steps.   

CM Punk and Cody Rhodes are interviewed. Cody says him and Punk will co-exist and he wants Punk to have no excuses when he beats him for his 4th title. Punk says it's not personal, just business. Punk says they have to make sure it's a 1v1 match so none of them have excuses. Cody asks who goes out first and Punk says he will go out with him. Cody then comes out.

Thoughts: It was an okay match with a surprise ending. Work wise, they didn't go all out or do anything crazy. They kept a good pace though and kept it interesting. Nick officially attacking Gun for sure means they will fight at Summerslam. They didn't play up any kind of friction between these teams internally much.

Cody gives Punk the belt after and they hug. Punk puts the title on his shoulder and slaps Cody with it in the process on accident. 

Stephanie McMahon and Joe Tessitore talk. They then run down the Summerslam card so far.

Oba Femi is in the crowd. 

Jalen Brunson and Roman Reigns come out together. Roman says this is where greatness acknowledges greatness and says NYC is the home of WWE. Roman says there's only one tribal chief and one captain. Roman says every champ in WWE needs a title, so he made some moves. He gives Jalen a title belt. Roman says he deserved it and earned it. Roman says, "acknowledge us". 

Seth Rollins' music hits. Tyrese Hailburton, an Indiana Pacers player, comes out with a chair. Seth then attacks Roman from behind. Seth is given the chair and he superkicks Roman. Seth says this is his world and he doesn't acknowledge a thing. He says this is the end for Roman. Seth goes to stomp Roman's head into a chair and Jalen gets in the way. Roman superman punches Seth then spears him. Seth then leaves with Tyrese. 

Jalen then has the NBA Larry O'Brien trophy brought in. Roman holds up the NBA trophy and Jalen holds up the WWE Title. Fireworks then shoots off.

Thoughts: This was really more of a localized thing for the New York market. I get it but if you aren't from NYC, you are going to wonder why you care. And Seth came off poorly as he was the heel this time around, he sneak attacked Roman and lost the fight.

Overall thoughts: Trick/Laredo Kid wasn't that good. The Women's Tag Title match wasn't bad outside of the finish. JD/Danhausen was all entertainment. It could have been better. Bayley/Lyra wasn't that good. The main was fine, just nothing super memorable. I doubt anyone outside of New York really cared about the final segment. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 overall. The wrestling didn't really deliver, the card was weak and they really tried to give away as little as possible here. If you told me this a WWE Main Event on Ion show from the early 2010's, I'd believe you. This was below average.

AEW Collision 7/18/2026

AEW Collision 7/18/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/aew-collision-7112026.html

Thoughts: I hated it. They did an apron powerbomb and a canadian destroyer on the floor. Both men were still able to get up and fight when they should have been done. This was awful indy crap and it was just the opener!

The Young Bucks do a video. They say all is right in wrestling again. They say they are on the hunt to get their tag titles back. They say The Elite will be back on top again. The Bucks say this thing with Will Ospreay feels like a set up with The Death Riders. They say they know how Moxley thinks. They say they don't trust Mox or Ospreay. They say Mox hasn't changed and Kenny Omega need to be shown that he can't trust Ospreay since he's a Death Rider. They challenge Mox and Ospreay to a tag match at Redemption.

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage do a video on The Death Riders. Cope says Claudio keeps sticking their nose in their business. Cage says he knows Pac will get involved soon too. Cage challenges them to a tag title match at Redemption.

AEW TNT Title Match - Kevin Knight (c) vs. AR Fox

KK goes to springboard and is cuttered over the top rope. KK sits on the 2nd rope and AR jumps over the top inside and canadian destroyers him.

AR 450's him for 2. KK sits up top. AR takes a 2nd rope uranage. KK hits his top rope 180 splash and wins it.

Thoughts: We are 2 matches in and 2 canadian destroyer have been used already. It was all flying as expected. AR did a million flips and rolls here and KK won as expected. It wasn't that good and was rather indy.

KK goes to the commentary table after. He says that was a preview of what will happen vs Darby on Wednesday. He says it's an appetizer for when he becomes Jet 2 Belts. He says his partners will make quick work of their opponents.

Don Callis Family (Brian Cage, Hechicero & Jake Doyle) vs Gino Medina, Nic Nolan & Tome Filip

Jake bodyblocks Tome then fallaway slams him. Gino comes in and Hech step up knees him. Hech hiptosses him then cranks his arm and neck. Cage does a weird reverse ddt twist into a cutter on Nic. Jake apron powerbombs Tome. Cage hits GTH/Z360 on Nic and pins him.

Thoughts: It was all squash and the squashers looked fine here. Their jobbers have all been around a bit as Nic did IWA-PR, Tome has done NJPW and Gino has done ROW/MLW.

The jobbers get beaten up after and Rocky Romero and Trent Baretta join in. Mike Bailey, The Conglomeration, Komander and The Rascalz run out and the heels run off. The Lethal Twist are then shown in the stands.

Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley do a promo. WIll says he feels cold prior to Wembley. He says he asked Tony Khan for a sparring partner. He says he used to battle with Adam Brooks 8 years ago and says he's an old friend. He says Adam used to live at his house with his mom. He says Adam has done well and so has he. Will tells him not to take it personal.

Mox says The Bucks and The Death Rider territories share borders and sometimes they are allies or enemies. Mox says he has disdain for all things. Mox says it will be a little bit personal at Redemption.

The Dogs do a promo. They say The Bang Bang Gang isn't what they pretend to be. They say Juice is an unhinged maniac and says The Gunns have a history of misogyny. DF says Jay White's dad is a nobody. They say to join them in their campaign to say, "Guns Down".

Will Ospreay vs Adam Brooks

This is random. I thought Adam might have been signed by TNA as they had used him a little but I guess not. This is Adam Brooks' 2nd AEW match as he was on the unaired Australian house show.

They shake hands and hug. Adam pump kicks him from the side then hits chops and punches. Adam rakes his eyes on the top rope. Will chops Adam. Adam knees him in the gut and Will flying headscissors him. Will slingshot plancha's him outside.

Will standing spanish flies him for 2. Adam spits at Will's gut. Will drops him with a forearm and hits downward forearms onto the back of Adam's neck. Will submits him/the ref stops it.

Thoughts: It was fine but nothing too special. Adam is just not a super exciting worker and you are only going to get so much out of his matches. He's not bad, just very average.

We get a Darby Allin video. He spray paints a car. He says the first time he met Kevin Knight, he told him he has potential and needs to stay humble. Kevin told him he wouldn't change and will always be humble. He says he knows that guy is gone when Kevin put him in the hospital. We then see Darby use a flamethrower on  a car. He says let's see how Kevin will go on Dynamite.

Athena vs. Ava Everett

Ath germans her three times to start. Ath pump kicks her out of the ring. Ath PK's her. Ava forearms her. Ath swings Ava into the rails. Ava stunners her then Ath pump kicks her. Ath deadlift powerbombs her twice. Ath running forearms her. Ath then submits her with a koji clutch.

Thoughts: It was all squash as expected here and not much more.

Ath is on the ramp and The Brawling Birds come out before she leaves. Ath stares at them and mocks her. Alex gives her the finger.

The Brawling Birds (Alex Windsor & Jamie Hayter) vs Kayla Lopez & Tiara James

The jobbers get hit to start then they get thrown out. The jobbers are sent into the rails. The jobbers are sent into each other. Alex hits hits Tiara in the gut. Tiara double chops her. Alex backslides her and rams her with a headbutt.

Jamie chops Tiara down. The jobbers are pushed into each other. Alex lariats Tiara. Tiara takes a headbutt and pump kick then a sandwich lariat. Tiara is held in the air and takes a hart attack. Jamie pins Tiara.

Thoughts: It was another squash here with the jobbers getting nothing in before going down. It went longer than expected.

The Bang Bang Gang talk in an apartment. They mock The Dogs and make jokes. Jay says Finlay doesn't want any of him and challenges Clark Connors on Dynamite. 

Tommaso Ciampa vs. Myron Reed

Reed backs him up in the corner and backs off. TC chops him and Reed hits chops and forearms. TC eye pokes him and stomps him in the corner. Reed springboard dropkicks TC. Reed is pumping knee'd on the apron. Reed superkicks him.

Reed stunners him. Reed slingshots in and is knee'd in the face. TC powerbomb backbreakers Reed. TC pumping knees him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was an alright match. Reed did a lot of flying and hit his signature spots as usual and Ciampa pounded him down. They didn't overdo it too much and it made enough sense. Ciampa win as expected.

Ciampa goes up to the commentators after. Paul Wight says we aren't going to do that when Ciampa stares at Tony. Ciampa stands on a chair and says he knows Paul is best friends with Chris Jericho. He tells him to send a message to Chris. He says he's better than Chris and he's not afraid of him. Ciampa says Chris can have a fight if he wants it but it'll be no holds barred.

Andrade El Idolo is interviewed. Idolo tells Renee to look at his new piece of jewelry. He says he needs to add the National Title to it. Mark Davis comes in, nails Idolo and puts him in a choke. 

Mercedes Mone is interviewed in the ring by Renee. Renee asks who will win the AEW Women's Title match coming up. Mone says they don't celebrate second place, they collect titles. Mone says the AEW Women's Title is coming home to her at All In. Mone says she doesn't care who wins in Thekla vs Willow as the title will be hers. She says Thekla and Willow both ran to Japan after she hit them. She says neither can hide when the bell rings. She says it doesn't matter who walks in to All In with the title but who walks out and says it's her.

We then see the same Copeland and Cage promo we saw earlier without the video clips. The Young Bucks walk in. They say they haven't seen them in a long time and say the titles look great on them, but looked great on them too 3 different times. Cage says maybe they lost them 3 times as they are just things to them. Cage says they are championships to them. Cage walks away and Cope fist pounds them.

ROH World Title Match - Bandido (c) vs. Adam Priest

I have no idea how AP earned this shot.

They shake hands. AP side headlocks him and shoulderblocks him. Band germans him twice. AP does his finger gun pose at him. AP shin kicks him and dropkicks him. AP chops him.

Thoughts: What we got was alright but it only got so much time and they only got to do so much. Both guys did fine here and Band won as expected.

Julia Hart and Skye Blue do a promo. They say they are 2/3rd's of the Stardom Trios champs (they won them today) and are thirsty for more. They say Bayne and Kross are big and strong and shouldn't be afraid of weapons. They challenge them to a Women's Tag Title Hardcore match.

They trade forearms and hockey fight. They hit more forearms. Shida eye pokes her and cradles her for 2. Queen kicks her in the back then bangs Shida's head off her butt. Queen PK's Shida. Shida is put in a chair and Queen dropkicks her from the apron. 

Shida is on the ramp and Queen misses a top rope double stomp there. Shida slaps her. Shida's head is banged off the buckles. Queen headbutts her. Queen tries it again and headbutts the buckle. Shida b-drivers her on the ramp. We go to PiP break and return.

Queen crabs her. Queen forearms her and kicks her in the chest. Queen knees her in the face. Queen hits a nasty twisting fisherman's neckbreaker. Queen 2nd rope double stomps her for 2. Shida slides out.

Shida hits her in the gut and grabs her kendo stick. The ref takes it from Shida. Shida eye pokes Queen and sends her into the rails. Shida top rope diving meteora's Queen. Shida falcon arrows her for 2. Shida bangs Queen's knee off the mat. Queen cradles her for 2. 

They trade pin attempts. Shida dragon screws Queen and Queen headbutts her. Queen running knees her on the ropes. Shida grabs her ankle and cradles her while using the ropes. Shida then pins her.

Thoughts: I liked it. It was a hard hitting match with them stiffing each other. Queen headbutting the buckle was a new spot. I liked that they included the ankle work into the finish too. I thought it was good.

Shida hits Queen after then beats her with the kendo stick. Maya World comes down. She superkicks and forearms Shida. Shida runs out.

Overall thoughts: I didn't like the first two matches at all. We had a lot of filler here with 3 different squashes. Will/Brooks was fine. I was also fine with Reed/Ciampa. Bandido/Priest was okay but needed more time. I thought the main was the best match on the show and I thought it was a good match. It was the usual Collision with mostly random matches, a lack of stars and more wrestling over non-wrestling stuff, but at least they did some building here to future things and there was a lot of news about future matchups here. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it had a mix of good, bad and just stuff that was there. It was average overall.

We are in Charleston, SC. Joe Dombrowski and Tom Lawler are on commentary.

We see clips of The Good Brothers/Contra Mercs vs The Skyscrapers feud. 

The hosts talk about tonight's show.

Don Gato comes out with the girls, his throne and the tequila.

Thoughts: It was random but it was fine. We got some flying and fast action and no one overdid it. There was no real reason for Kush to lose here and he didn't. It worked out better than I thought it would.

Kush beats up on Temp after and takes his mask off. Contra Unit hacks into the feed all throughout this.

Contra Unit then hacks the feed. They said while MLW celebrated their victory, they thought all they needed was a black flag to think they are gone. The speaker for it (Josef Samuel) says he's ready for to return for a holy war and will dismantle MLW piece by piece. He says this isn't an invasion but a crusade and crusades are executed.

We see Satoshi Kojima touring Charleston. A fan takes a selfie with him. We see him find a hat and do Stan Hansen impersonations.

The Graveyard Shift with Shotzi

Shotzi says the vibes are deadly, the guests are questionable and nobody makes it out clean. She brings out Scarlett Bordeaux. SB comes out and puts her over. Shotzi asks if she's here to talk or bury her next victim. SB asks if Shotzi will give her a shot at the MLW Women's Title. Shotzi says you don't walk into her graveyard and call the shot. She says you have to earn it. SB says she did earn it and was stacking wins all over the world. She says they could tear the house down. Shotzi says something about burying her. Lady Frost comes in. She says they know she came on the hunt. She says she's not called The Ice Cold Killer for nothing. SB says it doesn't concern her. Lady says if there's a title involved, it does. Shotzi says she will fight both of them. SB and Lady say "good". Shotzi says she found herself 2 new victims.

Diego Hill asks what went wrong. He says Austin Aries just found a way in to get the victory. He says maybe he let Blue Panther down. Mistico comes in. Diego says maybe this isn't his time. Mistico says there is a time for everything and we must take advantage of it. Mist says he has an important opportunity coming up at FantasticaMania where he can show what he's made of.

Rich Bocchini calls in and says Trevor Lee was just attacked in the locker room.

They lock up. Lo hammerlocks him and LK side headlocks him. LK takes him down with the headlock. Lo headscissors him and chops him. LK slams him and bottom rope springboard elbow drops him for 2. 

LK euros him and chops him. LK exploders him and Lo goes out. Lo hides behind the ref in the ring. Lo hits some strikes on LK. LK's springboard is caught and Lo backbreakers him. LK hits a big lariat and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one and not quite a squash. It wasn't too much of note. LK hit a nice lariat at the end here.

Rich Bocchini interviews Satoshi Kojima. Someone gives Kojima biscuits. Labron Kozone comes in. Kozone grabs a biscuit and eats it with Koji...then he spits it out. He says they call him Cozy and says they call him Cozy too. LK says they may have something in MLW. Koji congratulates him and says they will eat more biscuits. 

Killer Kross is interviewed in the back. He says a rare opportunity is coming with him vs Satoshi Kojima. He says they just need to sign on the dotted line.

The Skyscrapers (Dijak, Bishop Dyer and Josh Bishop) vs The Contra Mercs (Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows and Mads Krule Krugger)

This was supposed to be a 2v3 handicap match in The Mercs' favor. The big news here is that Dyer is back after it seemed like they wrote him off of TV. This was taped far in advance though before he got signed, so it makes sense.

Dijak and Doc push each other. Dijak clubs and forearms him. They facekick each other. Doc hits punches on him in the corner. Doc misses a corner charge and superkicks Dijak. 

Dyer boots Karl and elbows him over the back of the neck. Dyer chops him and Karl chops back. Dyer throws him in the corner and hits punches. Karl euros Dyer then Dyer lariats him. 

Josh and Krule get in. Josh hits chops and Krule no sells them. Krule chops back and Josh chops back. Josh is thrown over the top but he skins the cat in. All 6 men fight in the ring. Dijak is lariated over the top and Dyer is thrown out. 

Karl boots and punches Josh. Josh double throat thrusts him. Karl double boots him out of the corner. Karl chops Josh. Karl is pulled over the top. Josh hits mounted shots on Karl outside. Dijak boots Karl in the ribs then knees him there. Dijak clubs on Karl.

He pulls Krule off the apron and crossbodies him. Krule and Damo fight on the floor then fight to the back. 

Karl chops Dijak. Doc tags in and hits shots on all 3 heels. Doc hits corner splashes on the heels. Doc high kicks Dijak. Dyer blocks a magic killer and spears Karl. Dijak rolls up Doc with his feet on the ropes and pins him.

Thoughts: It was an okay tag here. The situation was funny as it was a 3v2 in The Mercs' favor, but then it became a 3v2 in The Skyscrapers favor. No one did anything too wild but it worked. Big Damo made his MLW debut here and he's signed so he will be around more.

Doc is hit from behind by Dyer after. Doc and Karl grab chairs and The Skyscrapers exit. 

Overall thoughts: I liked the 4-way. Shotzi set up a match in her segment and Kozone won a short match. We got a nice surprise in the main as it went from a handicap match to the return of Bishop Dyer (then it turned into a handicap match again at the end). The opener was the best thing on here and the main was fine. I had no issues with this show and would give it a 6 out of 10. This was okay. 

NWA Powerrr 7/18/2026

NWA Powerrr 7/18/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/nwa-powerrr-7112026.html

Joe Galli, Danny Dealz and Tim Storm are on commentary. 

We get a video on Silas Mason vs Kerry Morton.  

Sirena Veil vs Herra

SV I think has a newer dark entrance and it's pretty good. Herra also gets a nice entrance.

They lock up and let go. Herra slaps her and is superkicked. Herra knees her and drops her with a punch. SV's hand is stomped then Herra pounds on her with the hand trapped. Herra hits forearms. SV bites Herra's neck and blade runners her for the win.

Thoughts: I didn't like this. These girls both gave some limits, but this was over before it really got going. Herra's new and needs protected some and she was not protected here at all. Just put some random girl in a mask if you are going to do this kind of stuff...

We go to the NWA Training Seminar. Brandon McCord calls this a scam and a cash grab. He says it's meant to give them the idea they are learning something. He says if they had any value, the company would come to them instead of them crawling here. Brandon says you might not like what he says, but you can believe it. The Slimeballz say he sounds like a dork and Carson Drake makes fun of Brandon's shirt. Drake tells him to back up or The Slimez will make him tap.

The Slimeballz do a promo with Aron Stevens, Lockjaw and Buster. They say they are facing The Lost. Aron asks who the new guy is. Sage says they just brought him to the NWA. Aron says something tells him they've seen him before. Aron says he knows who he is as he is clearly Wrecking Ball Legursky. 

The McCord Collection (Alex Misery, Gilroy, Brandon McCord and Bonez) vs The Slimeballz (Sage Chantz and Tommy Rant), Buster and Lockjaw Drake

Sage offers Gil a handshake and spits in his hand. Gil boots him and side headlocks him. Gil is kneed in the gut, double clubbed on and double chopped down. Bonez comes in and shakes his head with Rant. Rant blocks a boot and bites Bonez's foot. 

Rant headbutts Bonez. Bonez dropkicks Sage from behind, into the ropes. Brandon gets in and punches Sage in the gut. Brandon punches him and delay germans him. Alex punches Sage and chops him. Alex misses a jump off of Gil's back and goes into the buckles. Buster comes in.

Buster double axe handles Gil's back on the top rope. Alex is caught in the air by Buster and thrown into the corner. Buster corner splashes him and whips him hard into the buckles. Buster hits corner splashes and lariats Alex. Buster headbutts Bonez in the back and pulls on his arms. Buster headbutts Bonez in the back of the neck.

Brandon comes in and Buster hits shots on him. Buster is pulled over the top rope. Buster trips Brandon and Bonez, pulling both out. Alex top rope cancun tornado's all of them. Gil hits forearms on Drake. Gil tries to jawbreaker Drake but knocks himself out doing it. Drake then pins him with a foot on the chest.

Thoughts: This was incredibly confusing when it didn't need to be. Gaagz The Gymp's new name is Gilroy...but they called him Gaagz at times here. Brandon McCord was also involved, but he always wears a hat and sunglasses, so it was hard to know it was him. The finish was amusing and something different. Alex's cancun tornado to the outside was nice. This was more of an entertainment based match but it did entertain and it was fine.  

Daisy Kill and Big Cuzzo are interviewed in the ring. Kyle Davis accuses Kill of teaming with bigger guys to beat up people he can't beat. Kill says his name with flair then does the same with Cuzzo's name. Kill says they are here for a good time. Kill says he turns giants into gods. He says Cuzzo is a god tonight. He says Eric Smalls and JAC are the sacrifice to Cuzzo. He tells us to sit and watch the show.

Big Cuzzo vs JAC

Jac side headlocks Big. They shoulderblock battle and chop each other. They then repeat the spot. Big double chops him and JAC shoulders him over. Jac corner splashes him. Jac knees Big in the gut and chops him. Jac basement dropkicks Big. 

Big gordbusters Jac, hits snake eyes and a pump kick for 2. Jac's head is banged off the buckles then his eyes are raked on the top rope. Big chokes him. Big corner splashes Jac. Jac forearms him and they botch a flying lariat/flying flatliner. Daisy Kill gets in the ring and says he will show Big how it's done. Eric Smalls then gets in the ring and punches Kill in the crotch. Jac exploders Kill and double underhook suplexes him. Jac 2nd rope elbow drops Kill. 

Big misses a corner splash and Jac jackhammers him to win.

Thoughts: We've seen Cuzzo a few times and this was the most we got to see of him. He does basic big man offense but it's fine. Jac was decent a match for him. I don't love Cuzzo and Kill losing though. The shenanigans at the end hurt this some and it was just average.

It's Me...The Carson Drake Experience

The Paige Sisters are interviewed. Ken says today they have their first title defense and it could be their toughest. Kylie says they are sisters and that will outshine anything. Drake brings up Kylie throwing out Ken in the gauntlet. The sisters argue and Drake eggs them on, saying Ken didn't defend against Kylie. They argue and Kylie leaves in anger.

NWA Women's Tag Titles - The Paige Sisters (Kenzie and Kylie Paige) (c) vs The Hex (Allysin Kay and Marti Belle)

The sisters offer a handshake and The Hex obliges. The sisters try to hit them and get dropped. The sisters are sent into each other. MB forearms and hip attacks both opponents in the corner. AK corner facekicks both opponents. 

MB boots Kylie in the corner then AK does the same. Kylie takes a running boot, a senton and a PK for 2. MB forearms Kylie and clubs on her. Kylie jawbreakers MB then they double facekick each other.

We go to break. Silas Mason does a promo. He says when you are on top, your friends show your true colors. Silas says Kerry has a cold heart and a yellow streak going up his back. He says Kerry will face dead ends and run into him at the end of the dead end. He says hate is the other side of love.

We return from break. Ken hit forearms and chops on AK. Ken headscissors her into a crossface. AK take a flying kick from behind then a flying kick from Kylie. Kylie is caught coming off the apron and is apron powerbombed. Ken hits forearms on MB. MB forearms her then AK backdrops Ken. Kylie code red's AK.

The four trade shots. MB is superkicked. AK lariats Ken down. MB's arm is banged over the top rope. Kylie powerbombs AK. Kylie dropkicks AK against the bottom rope and pins her.

Thoughts: It was acceptable not too much else. The Paige Sisters won as expected here. It was mostly all strikes. The break distracted a bit from the match.

Sirenva Veil and Paige Collett jump The Sisters after and beat them up. Tommy Henry comes in. Paige Collett sends him into SV's blade runner. 

Thoughts: We haven't seen Paige Collett here before and this was random.

NWA World Title - Special Ref: Alex Taylor - Silas Mason (c) vs Kerry Morton

We don't have much time remaining in the show here so something screwy will happen.

Kerry Morton does not come out for his entrance. Alex rings the bell. Alex starts the ten count and counts Kerry out as Kerry never showed up.

Thoughts: Classic NWA stuff right here. They promised a main event and didn't deliver. Why run this at the end of the show instead of somewhere else on it?

Silas gets on the mic and tells Kerry to come out. He says if Kerry wants to be part of history, he will have to be the man he says he is. He says he will go down like Scott Putski, Erik Watts and David Sammartino as a second rate son who couldn't handle their daddy's jock.

The Wrestling Machines of Slade and Mike Mondo come down and jump Silas. Alex helps fight them off. Aron Stevens gets on Silas' back and Bryan Idol punches Aron. The heels are all sent out. 

Thoughts: This was random and we will have to see what the reasoning for this will turn out to be.

Overall thoughts: Sirena Veil squashed Herra for unknown reasons. The 8-man tag was alright but a bit confusing. JAC/Cuzzo was average. The Paige Sisters had an acceptable match with The Hex. We never got the main event as Kerry Morton never showed up. We then had a bunch of random run in's after. As always, the wrestlers are decent but the booking will always add some twists to screw things up. We didn't even get the main event we were promised and that's no good. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and would say this was below average. The NWA disappoints yet again...
