Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/08/wow-women-of-wrestling-8172024-season-4.html

Thoughts: The finish was random here with Ariel only coming in for the pin and nothing else. She must be injured as she had to be helped in the ring after and looked to be in major pain. The match was good with the heels beating up the faces and Slays having a nice run.

Fury flatliners her then pumping knees her. Ice leg lariats her for 2. Fury hits a falcon arrow for 2. Ice hits a standing shiranui and wins.

Thoughts: The finish looked good here. I thought it was an okay match here with them being  a little more athletic than usual and trying some things they don't normally do.

The Brat Pack (Gigi Gianni and BK Rhythm) vs The Dojo Defenders (Kara Kai and Tara Strike)

We saw this a few weeks ago and the match got stopped due to BK getting kicked in the face from Tara. Kara's in the black and Tara is in the white.

Gigi chinlocks Tara. Tara legsweeps her. Kara gets in and hits shots on Gigi. Kara hits some kicks the nnorthern lights suplexes her for 2. Tara throws BK out. Kara hits soul foot on Gigi and wins.

Thoughts: It was an okay tag here but I would have liked them to play off their last match more. Tara definitely took it easy here with the kicks to avoid injuring anyone.

Lana Star and Miami's Sweet Heat go to the hotel. The clerk gives them the bill from when The Mother Truckers stayed and pretended to be them. They say they want to check the security camera's and see who did this.

SS is put in the electric chair and dropped face first onto the buckles. Rey hair throws SS then running knees her in the corner. Rey shoulders her over then hits short arm lariats. Rey lariats her from behind and wins.

Thoughts: It was all squash here with Rey overpowering Shore.

Crystal Waters comes in to check on Shore after and is beaten up. Waters is thrown down onto Shore.

They announce that two journalists and Jeanie Buss will select the best matches of the year for WOW to be re-aired in two weeks in the WOW Fan Appreciation Showcase. This is likely due to the season ending and them needing to fill time until the new season begins.

Next week has The Fierce Sisters vs The Classmaster and Samantha Smart.

Tor gets in and Pink hits a forward flipping reverse ddt and wins it. 

Thoughts: The idea was good with them doing more of a heavyweight style match. It was not the prettiest match though and the execution could have been better. I still liked it but it would have been a lot better if the moves were hit cleaner.

Pink gets on the mic after. She said she has had enough and calls out The Beast. She said this isn't the end and says her goal is to take out everyone who has wronged her in WOW. She says she's coming for her WOW Title. 

Overall thoughts: I liked 3 of the 4 matches so I thought it was a good show overall.  I liked some of the follow up here on The Mother Truckers running up the bill at the hotel on Lana and that they actually referenced BK Rhythm getting her jaw broken by Tara Strike.
