Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/07/wow-women-of-wrestling-752025-season-5.html

Miami's Sweet Heat comes out. Linds says they tried to settle this with Pink and Holly fair and square but they cheated. They say they think they are bad, but they say MSH wrote the book on being bad. Laurie challenges them to put the titles on the line in a hardcore match.

Lana Star, Holly Swag and Penelope Pink come out. Pink says they may be twins but there isn't a shared brain cell between them if they want to fight in a hardcore match. Holly says they are better in the ring than them and are better twins. Holly says she doesn't know what they are getting themselves into. Dave McClane says it won't happen tonight but they can do it next week. 

Fury vs Gabriella Cruz

This is Gabriella Cruz's WOW debut. Gab is the former Valentina Feroz in WWE and they say she's from Brazil.

Fury side headlock takeovers her. Gab headscissors her then side headlocks her. Gab gets a 2 count on her then side headlocks her. Gab flying headscissors her for 2. Fury germans her then sleepers her.

Fury bangs Gab's head off the buckles. Gab rolls her up for 2 then Fury lariats her. Fury running knees Gab on the ropes then sits on her neck there. Fury chinlocks her then Gab amrdrags her. Gab dropkicks her then corner meteora's her. Gab water wheel drops her then misses a meteora. Fury backhands Gab then does a la rosa driver variation to win.

Thoughts: I didn't like Gab losing on her debut here, especially to Fury, who has no direction and rarely wins. Gab is from WWE and looked it. She easily looked like the best wrestler on the roster here and is so much better at comebacks and not having any of the typical women's awkwardness in the ring. I do hope we see her back because she would do some good things for this promotion. 

The Alliance talk. They say it doesn't matter who Sugar and Spice find as their partner and says they won't find a partner who is as good as any of them. Reina says they will show they aren't just an alliance, they are the alliance and are taking people down.

The Mighty Mights (Sugar and Spice) and Holidead vs The Alliance (Reina del Rey, Gigi Gianni and BK Rhythm)

Holi pulls Spice away from going after the heels before the match. Spice slides between Gigi's legs and pulls her arms to make her flip. Spice flips out of a hiptoss and armdrags her. Spice flips out of a snapmare and armdrags Gigi. Spice then facebusters Gigi.

Holi drops Spice onto Gigi then Holi legdrops Gigi for 2.  Gigi slides between her legs and tags out. BK takes snake eyes from Holi. Sugar walks up the buckles and armdrags BK. She then rolls her up for 2. Sugar flying headscissors BK. Reina gets in.

Sugar pushes Reina around from behind and step up enzugiri's her. Sugar running corner forearms her. Reina blocks the monkey flip and spinebusters her. Reina curls Sugar and rams her into the corner back first. Gigi corner forearms Sugar. Sugar is laid on the 2nd rope and Gigi double knee presses her down. Gigi suplexes Sugar.

Sugar's head is banged off the buckles. Sugar uses the ropes to armdrag Gigi and BK. The faces get offense in. BK is swung and then rammed into Gigi. Holi splashes BK and Gigi in the corner then fallaway slams BK. Holi spinebusters Gigi. Holi suplex drops Spice onto BK for 2.

The heels pose on Holi on the ropes and The Mights break it up. Reina is held and takes a boot from Holi. Holi is back body dropped out. Reina pounces Sugar. Spice is lifted up by her arms, Reina goes under her and flips her. BK then picks up the win on Spice.

Thoughts: I liked it. Spice wasn't the cleanest early on as she was going a bit fast but she was doing the right thing. The work was pretty good here for WOW standards and we had an exciting ending for this one.

Goldie Collins gets on the mic before her match. She says it's a privilege to see her. She says her and Catarina Jinx are intertwined but she told Jinx to take the night off. She says what makes them so good together is how strong they are on their own. She tells Xena to give her best and says she will flip her wings. She says she has that dog in her.

Xena Phoenix vs Goldie Collins

Xena fireman's carry takeovers her then trips her. Xena rolling armbars her and Goldie ropebreaks. Xena waistlock takedowns her. Goldie hits knees to the gut then side slams her. Goldie running boots her for 2. Goldie sits on her neck on the ropes for 2. Xena's head is banged off the mat.

Xena trips her then armdrags her twice. Xena shoulder throws her. Goldie suplexes her. Xena sunset flips her and submits her with an armbar.

Thoughts: WOW clearly likes Xena and is slow pushing her. Xena looked alright here and this was acceptable with Xena doing various takedowns and going for the arm.

Top Tier comes out. Krush and Glitter are on crutches. They then show that they are okay and laugh. They say they are mocking Ashley Blaze. Coach says they are calling a safety meeting. She says she has safety tips. She says to always be aware of your surroundings. She says to think twice about stepping in the ring with Top Tier. She says to be aware as not only are they the greatest team in wrestling, they are the most dangerous team in wrestling. She says you should take your safety seriously as if you don't, they will take it seriously for you.

Next week's show has Holly Swag and Penelope Pink vs Miami's Sweet Heat in a hardcore WOW Tag Title match.

#1 Contender's Match - Tormenta vs Princess Aussie vs Genesis vs Paola Mayfield

PM = Paola Mayfeild, Tor = Tormenta, Gen = Genesis

Tor and Aussie hit stereo dropkicks on the other two to start. They shake hands and lock up. Tor side headlocks her then Aussie reverses it. Aussie armdrags her. Aussie side headlock takeovers her. Tor is double teamed by Gen and PM. Tor springboards off the bottom rope and armdrags Gen.

PM hits forearms and chops on Tor. Tor tries a 2nd rope headscissors from behind but it gets botched. Tor misses a corner meteora. PM flying forearms her then dropkicks her. PM facebusters her.

Gen corkscrew kicks Tor for 2. Aussie cutters Gen. PM ddt's Aussie then Tor top rope meteora's PM and pins her.

Thoughts: PM had a rough night here with a lot of botches. The girls did try a bit harder than usual and did some dives that we don't see everyday. Unfortunately, there were too many botches to put this over. Tor winning was a surprise and the Genesis 2025 Humiliation Tour continues as she loses yet another match with title implications for no reason.

Overall thoughts: Gabriella Cruz looked good in her WOW debut here but they had her lose for reasons I don't understand. I liked the trios match as the girls worked hard. Xena/Goldie was short. The girls tried in the main but Paola had a rough night and sadly brought it down. Genesis lost in the main while Tormenta won, which is not something I really understand. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as the booking wasn't the best in this one and the in-ring work was about average, making this an average show overall.
