Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/wwe-superstars-3142014.html
Byron Saxon and Tom Phillips are on commentary.
Titus O'Neil vs Zack Ryder
They lock up and Titus backs him up in the corner. Zack ducks a shot. Zack hits punches and boots him out of the corner. Titus catches his crossbody with backbreakers then he just throws him. Titus short arm clotheslines him then elbow drops him.
Titus hits a legdrop. Titus does his pose and chokes Zack with his knee. Titus chinlocks him and tries to start a chant for himself. Titus throws him down backwards. Zack blocks a slam then takes a running forearm.
Titus misses an elbow drop. Titus is hanging over the 2nd rope and Zack kicks him. Zack 2nd rope dropkicks him from behind. Zack wants a broski boot and Titus slides out. Zack boots him between the ropes.
Titus hits a big sky high and wins.
Thoughts: Titus did a lot of the small things well but not much else here. It got enough time and wasn't anything too special.
Los Matadores (Diego & Fernando) vs Ryback and Curtis Axel
Fern has the arm sleeve on here and Diego doesn't.
Ry and a Matador lock up. Ry holds him for a shot from Axel. Axel hits punches and chops. Axel leapfrogs and runs into a dropkick. Axel takes chops in the corner. Diego handstands in the corner and spinning headscissors Axel.
Diego knees him in the gut, flips over his back and Axel takes a high/low from the faces for 2. Axel hits corner spears on Fern. Fern hits chops in the corner. Ry boots Fern, Fern stops him and says "ole". Fern knocks him into the buckles. The faces do a double monkey flip on Ry then a double dropkick on Axel. Ry is double lariated over the top.
We go to break and return. Axel knees Diego in the gut and bangs his head off the buckles. Ry slams Diego then splashes him for 2. Diego hits chops and punches on Ry. Ry gorilla press powerslams him.
Ry chokes Diego on the ropes then slams him. Ry 2nd rope splashes Diego. Axel then 2nd rope double axe handles him for 2. Axel chinlocks Diego.
Ryback legdrops Diego for 2. Ry delay suplexes Diego. Ry misses a corner charge and goes into the buckles. Fern gets in and flying headbutts Axel. Axel misses a corner splash then is backdropped three times. Fern 2nd rope twisting swantons Axel for 2.
Ryback goes after Torito then takes a 2nd rope twisting swanton on the outside. Fern rolls up Axel and gets the pin.
Thoughts: It went a bit long for what it was but it was fine. The faces flew around a bit and the heels were in control for a lot of this. Ryback going after Torito is always good for a pop with me.
Jerry Lawler interviews Los Matadores on the stage. Fern says they were getting ready and said Lawler and Torito are alike. He says it's because Torito is horny. Lawler said he thought he'd be interviewing the heels but they pulled off an upset. Diego says they love to be the underdogs and show everyone that they are the greatest team. Diego says they beat Rybaxel today and next time they are interviewed, they might be the tag champs.
Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches usual along with a Lawler interview and various recaps. Neither match was anything too great. The tag match was easily the better match. I wouldn't recommend this one.
