Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/08/wwe-superstars-1102014.html

Tom Phillips and Alex Riley are on commentary. 

Jack Swagger vs Tyson Kidd

Jack charges at him and they trade hammerlocks. TK goes around the ropes and escapes. TK rolls him up off the casadora for 2. TK dropkicks him. TK tries to go up and over but is caught with a wheelbarrow german.

Jack hits a corner splash and throws TK by the head for 2. Jack pulls TK's arms back. Jack throws TK over by the shoulder. TK rolls up Jack for 2 then takes a belly to belly suplex. Jack lariats him for 2 then chinlocks him.

TK flips out of a backdrop. TK hurricanrana's him into the buckles. TK hits leg kicks and spin kicks him. TK basement dropkicks him in the side of the head. TK goes over him in the corner and does the tarantula.

TK slingshot legdrops his neck over the bottom rope for 2. TK high kicks him from the apron. Jack catches him on a springboard and powerslams him. Jack then rolls into an ankle lock. TK then taps out.

Thoughts: I liked it. TK did a good job of evading Jack here and coming up with various holds out of it until it was too late and Jack submitted him with the ankle lock. I thought they did a nice job here and really got over how both guys would approach this match. This was a fun match.

DY and Jimmy go at it. DY side headlocks him then Jimmy shoulders him over. DY hits a big forearm, an atomic drop and a running knee for 2. Jimmy side headlocks him. Jey tags in and runs right into a northern lights suplex.

Jey takes a double shoulder block. Titus slams Jey and legdrops him. Titus does a strut into a legdrop for 2. Titus armlocks Jey then shoulders him over. Titus gordbusters DY onto him. DY then gets a 2 count on Jey. We go to break and return. Titus throws Jimmy off the waistlock. DY side headlocks Jimmy. Jimmy chops him in the corner.

DY is thrown into the corner and takes a nice bump over the top. Jey hits a shot on DY's arm off the top. Jey wraps DR's arm around the top rope. DY takes corner spears and Jimmy flying forearms him. DY is armdragged. Jimmy spinning enzugiri's DY. Jey headbutt drops DY for 1 then top wristlocks him. Jey uppercuts DY. DY takes a corner splash then hip throws Jimmy into the buckles. 

Titus comes in and hits shots on The Uso's. He facekicks one of them down then hits a corner splash. An Uso misses a corner splash and is powerslammed for 2. DY is thrown out. Jey lands on his feet on a fallaway slam. Titus takes a double superkick then Jimmy hits a top rope splash on Titus to win.

Thoughts: It ran a bit long. It was acceptable but nothing too great. I popped for Titus' goofy legdrop strut and DY took a nice bump in the corner over the top.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual and some recaps. Swagger vs Kidd was good with both of them playing their roles well. Kidd came up with some clever moves and I liked the finish. The tag match ran a bit long but it was acceptable. There was nothing must see as usual here but it was a decent and easy show to watch.
