Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/07/wwe-main-event-7242025.html

Maxxine Dupri vs Ivy Nile

They lock up and Max is pushed back. Max hits armdrags. Max hiptosses her then monkey flips her. Ivy blocks a spinning high kick and lariats her. Ivy pounds on her in the corner and sends her into the buckles. Ivy flying chest kicks her for 2.

Ivy pulls her arms back. Ivy germans her for 2. Ivy hits forearms. Max hits punches then hits lariats. Max pump kicks her then pumping knees her. Max then hits a ddt.

Max does the reverse caterpillar and elbow drops her. Julius Creed gets on the apron and Natalya pulls Creed down. Tozawa then dives on the Creed's from the apron. Max spinning high kicks Ivy. Max top rope crossbodies her but Ivy backrolls through.

Max rolls her up off a spinning side slam then Ivy reverses it and pins her using the ropes.

Thoughts: It was one of Max's better matches. She showed some fire, she hit her stuff clean and looked good for the most part. Ivy didn't botch anything either and this one worked out well.

Austin Theory vs El Grande Americano

They mention that Grande is the Speed champ. Oddly, Speed was not on this week.

Grande rolls out of the lock up then side headlocks him. Grande boots him, snapmares him then hammerlocks him. Grande headstands out of a headlock on the mat and chinlocks him. Grande rolls over him then Austin hits armdrags.

Austin hits a corner lariat then slingshot stomps him. Austin fisherman suplexes him for 2. Grande goes up and over then is tripped into the buckles. Austin rolls into a dropkick. We go to break, which they just jumped to and then we return. Grande pulls Austin's throat over the top then he PK's him. Austin hits punches and Grande lands on his feet on a monkey flip. Grande walks up the buckles then diving blockbusters him for 2.

Austin backdrops him. Austin hits a flying back elbow and footpresses him down. Austin does a double underhook suplex on him. Grande punches him then loads up his mask. Grande rakes the face then Grande flying battering rams him to win.

Thoughts: There wasn't a clear face and heel until the end of this and while Austin has kind of been pushed as a tweener lately on this show only, he's not quite a face. It was pretty average for the most part until Grande cheated to win. Kaiser doesn't quite have the charisma Gable had with this gimmick.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual. I'd honestly say the women's match was better than the men's match but the men's match wasn't awful. There's nothing you need to see here but you can clear through all the new content in about 15 minutes or less.
