12/6 notes

I'll have ROH Final Battle up later then I will work on Deadline tonight. We'll see if I have time for TNA's show today. ROH's show was 4 hours long so it's a bit time consuming.

WWE Main Event 12/4/2025

WWE Main Event 12/4/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/wwe-main-event-11272025.html

Vic Joseph and Byron Saxton are on commentary.

Ivy Nile vs Thea Hail

Thea gets a rare main roster match here.

they lock up and Ivy drags her down. Thea armdrags her twice and dances. Thea armdrags her then Ivy headscissors her from the mat. Thea side headlock takeovers her. Thea armdrags her off the casadora. Ivy side headlocks her. Thea shoulders her over then rolls over her. Thea flips and Ivy hits a hard lariat on her.

Thea boots her in the corner. Thea is sent face first into the buckles and Ivy flying kicks her in the corner. Ivy suplexes her for 2. Ivy chokes her on the ropes. Thea sunset flips her for 2 and Ivy spinning high kicks her for 2.

Ivy pulls Thea's arms back. Thea flips and upkicks her to break it. Thea hits forearms on her. Thea codebreakers the arm and hits polish hammers. Thea superkicks her from behind and flipping neckbreakers her from the side. Thea running back elbows her and exploders her. Thea hits a low single leg dropkick for 2.

Thea cradles her for 2 then michinoku drivers her for 2. Thea crossbodies her off the top but Ivy kind of rolls her off of it. Ivy in theory hits a pendulum side slam and wins but it looked like she got ddt'd.

Thoughts: Thea definitely rushed here. The finish was done safely but not quite right as it looked like Ivy won by taking a pendulum ddt. This was average but I expected worse than what we got.

Otis vs Rusev

Otis has Akira Tozawa with him only. Rusev is on here again which is a bit surprising for a guy at his level. Otis has a plain black tanktop on here.

Otis shoves Rusev over off the lock up twice. Rusev boots and punches him. Rusev gets some nice shots in and Otis lariats him twice. Otis spinning back elbows her. Otis hits a corner splash. Rusev slides out and picks up Akira. Otis then lariats Rusev down outside.

We go to break and return. Otis hits punches in the corner. Rusev hits corner spears on Otis. Otis misses a corner charge and goes into the post. They stall and Otis asks a doc for help. Akira also wipes off Otis' nose with a towel as it is bleeding. Rusev then poses on the 2nd rope. Rusev boots him down and kicks him in the back.

Rusev drops him with a hard chest kick. Rusev hits more kicks to the chest. Rusev rakes Otis' nose with his forearm. Rusev facelocks him. Otis headbutts Rusev. Rusev boots him out of the corner and is caught off the 2nd rope. Otis slams him down. Otis lariats him then does a caterpillar elbow. Rusev gets his knees up on Oits' vader bomb. Akira gets on the apron and Rusev kicks him. Rusev matchka kicks Otis then camel clutches him. Otis submits.

Thoughts: It was an unusual match. Rusev took a bit more offense than I expected and Otis unexpectedly got his nose busted open here. They had to stall to cover it but they did a good job of it. The ref oddly didn't put any gloves on when Otis was bleeding. The match was fine as expected with the two hitting hard shots on each other.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual along with various recaps and video packages. The men's match was much better than the women's match as usual. It was also notable as Otis got busted open and they had to work around it. The show was nothing you really needed to see but it was an acceptable 15 minutes of new content.

WWE Smackdown 12/5/2025

WWE Smackdown 12/5/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/wwe-smackdown-11282025.html

We are in Austin, TX. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive.

Drew McIntyre arrives. Nick Aldis stops him and says he's suspended. Drew says he did his time. He says he won at Wargames and is now unsuspended. Aldis tells him to leave. Drew argues with security and Cody Rhodes appears in the car. He hits shots on Drew and pulls his hair. Security then pulls him away. Drew then drives off. Aldis tells Cody to "come on, dude".

Damian Priest does a promo. He says Black thinks he can beat him and is delusional to think he can burn him and walk away. Priest says he brought in his wife and family, so he can bring his is. Rhea Ripley appears. She says he made a mistake thinking he poke the bear and get away with it. Rhea says they've been through hell and back and she's ready to go back to the fire with him. She says Vega signed her own death wish and it's those two vs them. Rhea says they will find out why no one survives The Terror Twins.

This is an open challenge.

Drag germans him. then hangs on for another. They trade forearms and chops. Drag facekicks him. Melo springboard twisting lariats him. Melo hits a la mistica facebuster for 2. Drag blocks a first 48 then slams him down. Drag enzugiri's him and backdrops him. 

Drag is up top and Melo kicks him, sending him down to the floor. Melo slingshot ddt's him on the apron then sends him into the rails. Melo goes up top and Tomasso Ciampa crotches him. Drag hits torpedo moscow and an h-bomb and pins him.

Thoughts: I can't say I'm surprised by the finish. I knew Melo winning and Melo kind of begged for Ciampa to do that. What we got was fine here and the two worked well together which is no surprised considering they feuded before in NXT. It was a stiff and athletic match and it's a shame we didn't get more of it.

Drag sees the finish on the tron and gets mad yelling "nooo" and "no way".

Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair are interviewed by Cathy Kelly. Flair says she joined the Wargames team as Bliss needed her. She says Bliss would be lost without her. Bliss says it made their bond stronger and helped them win the tag titles. Flair says they want to win the tag titles again and beat Kairi Sane tonight.

LA Knight is interviewed. He says he doesn't care about dream opponents but cements his legacy if he beats John Cena. He says the last time is now for him or Gunther. He says Gun is a former champ. He says it'll be a fight and if it's a fight he wants then he can get dropped on his head like all the rest.

Alexa Bliss vs Kairi Sane

They lock up and let go. Sane backs her up in the corner and boots her. Sane taunts her then sunset flips her for 2. AB tries a pin and is slapped. AB drops her with a shot then sto's her. AB walks on her then rolling sentons her. Sane goes out, runs into Flair then Asuka trips AB on the apron. AB is alabama slammed into the rails.

Sane uraken's AB. Sane is caught coming off the buckles with a sister abigail and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was an okay match here. I liked the finish with Sane being caught with sister abigail while coming off the top.

Lash Legend and Nia Jax attack Bliss and Flair after. Lash drops Bliss with a chest forearm. Nia samoan drops Flair. They spot Sane and Asuka uraken's Nia and Lash. Asuka hits shots on Lash then high kicks her. Nia pop-up headbutts Asuka. Lash facekicks Sane. Nia goes for a banzai drop and Asuka pulls Sane out. Nia and Lash hold up the tag titles after and say the titles are theirs.

Nia Jax and Lash Legend talk and are interviewed in the back. Nia says they are dangerous and says The Kabuki Warriors got what they deserved. Nia says Asuka misted Lash and that's the reason they lost. Lash says that's a taste of what they can do and there's nothing other teams can do about it.

Jade Cargill vs Alba Fyre

I'm sure Alba is totally going to win this one...

Alba is distracted then hit with a spinebuster. Jade pump kicks her then hits a jade end to win.

Thoughts: It was a short one with Jade winning as expected. Alba actually got some offense in though and was put over a bit by getting to beat up Jade some.

Fraxiom talk to Nick Aldis. Frazer wants a match with DIY. Ilja Dragunov comes in. He complains about Ciampa interrupting his match. Ilja says he wants Ciampa. Aldis makes it for next week. Ilja says they can have whatever is left of him next. Tama Tonga then gets in Ilja's face with The MFT's behind him. Solo then says let's go.

Jade Cargill and B-Fab pas each other in the back. Jade asks if what she did to Alba reminds her of anything. Michin point a kendo stick at her and says they won't do this today. Jade says to go get Aldis if she doesn't like it then says she will do it for her. She says to step up or get stepped on.

The MFT's come out. Solo says he told everyone that they would handle the Sami Zayn problem. Solo says they took him out. Solo says his family can finally move forward. He brings up The Wyatt Sicks. He says he sees Uncle Howdy has been watching them. solo says he's watching them too. He introduces himself and says this is his ring, show and family tree. Solo says they hurt him and now his MFT's will hurt Howdy. Solo says everything that was Bray's that is now Howdy's will become his. He says he will take everything away from him. He says he will show that he doesn't deserve  the name Wyatt. Solo says all he has to do is Bo-lieve. 

The lights go out and The Wyatt's appear on the apron. Howdy gets in the ring and stares down Solo. The Wyatt's and The MFT's all fight. Rowan and Talla end up as the last two in the ring. They trade punches. Rowan facekicks him out. The MFt's back off.

Aldis accuses him of cheating in the lottery for the Cena tournament. Bayley comes in and Nick says she's fighting a star from NXT. Sol Ruca walks in. Bay says she watches her on NXT. Bay says it's a whole different level on Raw and SD. Sol says that's what she wants and she's ready for it. Bay says she will see tomorrow night when she watches her on NXT Deadline.

Gunther is interviewed. He says it doesn't matter where you live or what language you speak. He says his name translate to victory. He says he will beat LA Knight and John Cena. Gun says we all can see Cena and says Cena can see him. Gun tells him to pay attention to how he beats LA Knight tonight.

Aleister Black does a video. He says Damian Priest called people who were his friends his friends for too long. He says he's the one person who will tell him things straight. Vega says Rhea represents the family Priest he had in the past. Vega says The Terror Twins are a ploy to leave him in the lonely state they found him in. He says if it's the inferno he wants, he will guide him to it.

We get another Cena interview video.

The Last Time is Now Tournament Final - LA Knight vs Gunther

Gun piefaces him and LA drops him with a punch. LA hits boots and punches in the corner. Gun chops him and LA back body drops him. Gun slides out and is dropkicked through the ropes. 

We go to PiP break and return. Gun hits a big lariat during the break. Gun knees him in the corner. LA misses an elbow drop. LA hits punches on Gun. LA is then thrown hard into the corner and goes down. 

Gun chops him down a few times. LA flying lariats him. LA jumping neckbreakers him. LA backrolls him for 2 and Gun tries a grounded choke off of it. LA then tries a pin off of it. LA hits an AA on Gunther. LA then burning hammers Gun for 2. We go to PiP break and return. 

They trade chops. LA stomps him in the corner. LA running knees him in the corner. LA backdrops him. Gun dropkicks him. LA hits  ddt. LA double jump elbow drops him for 2. 

Gun germans him then twists his neck with his feet. Gun short arm lariats him. LA is knocked off the buckles and Gun top rope splashes him. Gun hits a top rope splash on LA's back for 2. Gun powerbombs him for 2. Gun grabs him from behind and is hit with a BFT for 2. Gun goes for a sleeper.

Gun hits elbows to the neck and grounded sleepers him. Gun hits elbows to LA's throat/jaw. Gun lays on his back and does a cravate on him. LA submits.

Thoughts: I don't like LA tapping out. That's not really something faces do and LA has always been booked weak. It was a good match otherwise and easily one of LA's best in a while. They kept things moving, Gunther stiffed him and LA didn't botch anything. The crowd was also hot and into this all the way. Gunther won as expected here.

Overall thoughts: It was a decent show wrestling wise with a good main and a good opener. Cody beating up Drew in his car was fun but they didn't really break the mold otherwise. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and thought it was alright overall.

Thoughts: It wasn't good. Grav had his usual botches and just looked and overweight here. Even the stuff Grav didn't try to do in slow motion looked like it was done in slow motion.

They shake hands. TA armdrags her then gets armdragged. TA boots and clubs her. TA pulls her arms around the ropes. Grey running dropkicks her then flipping neckbreakers her. Grey slingblades her. TA hits corner spears on Grey.

TA rolls her up for 2. Grey rolls her up in return. TA backslides her. Grey hits a sitout pedigree to win.

Thoughts: It was a shorter bout here. Jay Alexander got offense in but that was it. It was your usual Dark Order bout and it was acceptable. Silver's powerbomb on House was nice.

Leila Grey and Zayda Steel are interviewed. Zay says she asked for this time. She says most people know her as the real deal. She says she's a big fan with Grey and would love a match. Grey agrees and says she can be a real baddie when she wants to.

Thoughts: I didn't think it was that good. They didn't work that well together and had some sloppy moments. Dia hit some bad corner punches and there wasn't a real clear face or heel here.

Athena comes out after and has words for Pers.

Dia goes after Pers and is hit with a back elbow. Athena gets in and is forearmed down. Pers pump kicks her. Dia saves Athena from a razor's edge. Athena's belt is left in the ring and Pers holds it up.

Overall thoughts: It was just a so-so show. There was nothing that good here and we had the usual squashes. I'd say The Outrunners' match was the best thing on here but that's not saying much. Dia/Pers should have been better than it was. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.

Kom superkicks him then poisonrana's him. Kom is up top and Sammy Guevarra comes out and pushes him off the for the DQ.

Thoughts: The match was what you would expect with Kom doing the flying and Mort throwing him around some. The selling wasn't the best as usual. It's a shame we didn't get a clean finish though as Sammy interfered. I thought this would have been better with a couple of minutes cut off.

Sammy superkicks and unmasks Kom after. Kom is double stomped on. Bandido comes out to save Kom. Band hits Sammy with his own title belt and superkicks Mort out. 

Don Callis comes out. Hechicero attacks Band and Kom from behind. Hech spinning hammerlock backbreakers Band. Mort stomps Band then holds up the ROH Title.

Mark Sterling gets on the mic as his team enters. He says he hasn't been assaulted since Stori joined. He says they are giving the fans the biggest thrill of their lives by taking part in their pre-game cheer. The fans yell "Athletes suck". They say Stori is 6'7 but I don't buy it.

Ari pepsi twist's Philly. Zoey's top rope crossbody is caught by the guys. Zoey is sent into Story who chokeslams Zoey and wins.

Thoughts: It was a squash here. Stori was a good signing as she's tall and decent looking. The heels won as expected here. There should have been a DQ for Stori hitting the guys.

RG tries to eye poke him, gets blocked then is eye poked. Sid does backflips into a cutter and pins him.

Thoughts: Sid's too good to be on a show like this. You'd think he'd be all over TV since Tony likes guys like him but he's down here instead. Sid was impressive as usual with effortless flying and RG just did basic heel stuff. It was fine.

Dalton Castle & The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) vs. Ashton Adonis, Jake Omen & Josh Crane

Thoughts: They didn't say which twin was which here. It was mostly all squash with the twins only getting a few shots in. It was what it was.

Queen Aminata talks to Deonna Purrazzo in the back. Queen is in a neck brace. She says she didn't want to end her tournament this way but she's not cleared to wrestle. She says she wanted to wrestle her but her neck isn't something she wants to gamble with. She says she forfeits and DP will be given a bye. DP says this isn't how she planned to get to the finals. She says she wanted to fight her for the final spot. She says she will try to become the first champ and will be waiting for her. Deonna says it doesn't matter whether Yuka or Billie wins tonight as ROH is about to become fluent in Purrazzo again.

Mercedes Mone vs. Lovely Miss Larkan

Mone does her dance in the ring. Miss has some bizarre black and neon gear on. Mone throws her down by the hair on the handshake. Miss boots her then drops down and upkicks her. Mone knees her in the chest, backcrackers her and does a crossface choke to submit her.

Thoughts: It was a quick one here with Mone not even messing up her make-up. Larkan seems like a wild one and I wouldn't mind seeing her do another job. 

ROH Women's Pure Title Tournament Semi Final Match - Yuka Sakazaki vs. Billie Starkz

BS olds her hands up for a lock up but keeps plling them down. Yuka can't reach and gets mad. They lock up and Yuka rope breaks on a bearhug. Yuka snapmares her then rolls her around the ring with her legs under the arms. 

Yuka flying headscissors her out. They go out and BS is sent into the post. Yuka goes to springboard and is superkicked. BS sleepers Yuka while she's on the apron. BS takes her down and stomps her. BS chops her in the corner then corner lariats her. BS ddt's her.

They get up and trade forearms. BS facekicks her. Yuka hits some forearms. BS trips her then pins her with her feet on the ropes.

Thoughts: It should have been a little better than it was. They had a couple of sloppy moments and the chemistry wasn't really there. I think they could have played up the story of both being out of ropebreaks better by having Yuka lose them then fight back and make Billie lose hers. I didn't think it was that good. 

Overall thoughts: ROH Final Battle 2025 is tomorrow. I didn't think they did a great job of building up the card which isn't news. We didn't hear from Athena, Moriarty, Nigel, Red Velvet or Shane Taylor Promotions despite them being in big matches. We also had some squashes that didn't do a whole lot for anyone here but we did get a few AEW stars dropping in. The talent is there in ROH but the creative and promotional aspects aren't. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 as it was an average show though it wasn't that hard to get through. 

TNA Impact 12/4/2025

TNA Impact 12/4/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/tna-impact-11272025.html

I think we are at the Hardy Compound and see various wrestlers walking around. There's a box with the TNA logo on it and everyone is on the 2nd floor of a barn. The box is glowing. They then have a January 15th graphic for Dallas, Texas. It says "our story continues on AMC". They then announce TNA is moving there.

Thoughts: The move to AMC is fantastic news for TNA. AXS is better than nothing but nobody gets the channel and the channel limits its growth.They should get some new fans with the move and some much needed cash. They really need to step things up though. There's only been like 2-3 shows with all new content since Bound for Glory and that's not gonna cut it on AMC. They also desperately need to get some new young talent. Just pick like 5 new people who are over 6 foot tall and see what happens. WWE also needs to be a better partner and stop taking TNA talent because this show has to draw good enough ratings to stay on air.

Thoughts: It was pretty basic and not much of note here. Home lost but he's basically a jobber and it makes no real difference. 

The Rascalz hang out in their clubhouse. Wentz's phone plays The Hardy's theme when Trey calls him. Trey asks who Dezmond Xavier is. Wentz mentioned a guy named Wes and Dez asks who that is. Wentz explains that they are the same person and said they changed their names in WWE. Dez asks why he changed his name. Myron Reed asks about Order 4 and they think they are ordering food. They then imply that they smoke weed and they act all goofy after. They talk about Tasha Steelz and Trey says she steals his heart every time. Zach says he's happy to have all his brothers in the treehouse.

Frankie Kazarian is outside. He complains about JDC thinking he deserves a title shot. He says it took him decades to get the title shot and says JDC is joining the retirement bandwagon with Cena and AJ Styles. Kaz says they will be missed and are stars but JDC couldn't be a star if he was thrown by a ninja. He says his new years resolution will be to end his miserable midcard existence.

Thoughts: The problem here is that everything that Kaz said was true and that's not good when the guy getting ripped is a face.

First Class Penthouse

AJ Francis introduces himself and Swann. He says they will have Leon Slater on the show. AJ says Leon is the X-Division champ due to Swann not getting the job done at Turning Point. He then brings out Leon Slater.

He says he doesn't want to trade jabs and be that guy. He says he looks up to Kaz. He gets mad at him bringing up his wife and says Kaz crossed the line. He says he will see a side of him that is real serious that he doesn't want to see. He says he wants to leave the business better than he got in it. He says he will show Kaz what a real star is.

Thoughts: Compared to some of the other stuff on this show it was incredible. I didn't like them no selling the canadian destroyer here. They did have some nice flying spots though and the finish was creative with Trey hurting his knees off a missed meteora and Ali doing a sharpshooter to him. Ali won as expected here.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time. It wasn't great but what we got was enough and it was fine enough. The heels tagged in and out a lot and I felt like it was hard to get some momentum going because of it. We got a couple of dives here but nobody got any air at all. The heels kind of had to win here to keep their momentum going and to build to something bigger.

Santino Marella comes out and looks angry at Team NXT for cheating. He then yells at Stacks.

Overall thoughts: There's a PLE tomorrow. It has more matches than they could really promote here though they tried. It was your usual TNA show with a lot of average wrestling. It was enough but nothing you'd go out of your way to see. The main or the semi main was the best thing on here. I'd give the show a 5 out of 10 overall and wouldn't recommend it.

Thoughts: Alex is very very green and not really ready to be on these shows yet. He can do all kinds of flips but he can't do them all clean and you can just tell he's not used to doing them. I was surprised he beat Inq here. This was painful to watch at times and went much longer than it needed to. I wasn't a fan of this.

It was something different but a normal tornillo would have been better. It was fast paced and had a lot of flying. I didn't love it but it was okay enough overall.

Thoughts: It was a very average main event and far from anyone's best work. The faces weren't winning here so we didn't get a ton of dives or a great comeback section either. I was surprised the heels won clean.

Overall thoughts: It was a different type of card than usual with 2 singles matches and a tag team cibernetico. Alexius was very green in the first match though he can do a lot of flips...just not cleanly. The women's match wasn't that good. Maya/Explosivo started off strong but cooled off. It wasn't a bad effort. The tag team cibernetico was a bit hard to follow but was alright. That got the most time on this show. The main was far from anyone's best work and it was very average. I'd give this show a 5 out of 10 as there was nothing great here. I thought it was average.

AEW Dynamite 12/3/2025

AEW Dynamite 12/3/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/aew-dynamite-11262025.html

We are in Fishers, IN. Tony Schiavone, Excalibur, Don Callis and Bryan Danielson are on commentary.

Tony Schiavone is in the ring and says we will have a volatile face to face. He brings out Samoa Joe and Eddie Kingston. Joe tells Tony to get out of his ring before he snatches the ugly wig off his head. Joe says Eddie probably has questions that need answered. Joe says he didn't wear his suit because it would be like wearing a tux to a petting zoo. He says the fans are too stupid to realize when they are in the presence of greatness. 

Joe says Hook grew up with a championship legacy. He says it's about education and said he thought it was important Hook knew what it was like living on the other side. He says Eddie has never gotten it done or crossed the finish line. He says Eddie screams about his potential but never fulfills it. He says Eddie will bring everything to the table but won't cross the finish line just like every other time. 

Eddie says Joe sold his soul out. Eddie says Hook learned perseverance and never quitting from him. Eddie says everyone calls him a hot head but when he yells and screams, he gets stuff done. He says he doesn't know or respect this Joe. He says Joe showed everyone what it meant to be a world champ but is now jumping people from behind and getting in Hook's head. Eddie says Joe is like the guys he used to call out. Eddie says if Joe doesn't bring the old Samoa Joe, he will eat him alive.

The Opps minus Joe do a promo. Hook says Joe took care of business tonight and will finish Eddie Kingston off next week. Hobbs says they have business to handle tonight. He says everyone is gunning for the tag titles. He says they will spread holiday cheer. He says Dark Order impressed them on ROH and they can get a title shot if they beat them. Hook says he knows they are Page's friends so they will have fun with them. Hook says it'll be real light work tonight.

Thoughts: I would have liked the piledriver through a table to finish off Meg here as that was a pretty big spot. Other than that, I liked it. It was an entertaining hardcore battle with some fun spots, a little blood and a funny appearance by Luther.

Thekla's crew do a promo on Kris Statlander and Jamie Hayter. Thek says Statlander is a baby b!tch. Kris Statlander tells Thekla to name the time and date for a match.

He says Full Gear was a bump in the road and he will take the title back. He says if Hobbs and Shibata want a fight, they got one. Page says he will fight them but not alone.

Thoughts: It was a good match with them stiffing each other, fighting outside and Mox bleeding like he always does. This looked like how it should look and they got this right minus the finish. I don't like Mox losing all of these matches though. You gotta protect your top stars and Mox is one of them. 

Overall thoughts: It was a heavy wrestling edition of Dynamite like Continental Classic shows usually are. Most of the wrestling was good though so that's fine. The main and the women's hardcore tag match were the best matches on this one. Kevin Knight even dragged something respectable out of Fletcher. The rest of the show made sense as well and this show did what it was supposed to do. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 as we had two strong matches and nothing was awful.

WWE Evolve 12/3/2025

There was no show last week. The show from 2 weeks ago is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/wwe-evolve-11192025.html

Robert Stone and Peter Rosenberg are on commentary.  

Kendal Grey says being a champ is different than chasing it. She says she has people down her back and she says she's ready for it. She says she's focused on Chantel Monroe tonight.

AG hits forearms on her and hits a wasteland (they call it Graceland) and AG wins.

Thoughts: Grace winning was an upset here. Winning is not something she has done a lot of. She didn't botch anything here but it wasn't the world's prettiest match and was not that good. Carlee really hasn't gotten to do much in Evolve so far and I feel bad for her.

They talk about Yayne Harrison being the newest WWE ID signing. We also see Laynie Luck winning the Women's WWE ID champ. They said she got a WWE ID contract as well. 

Nikkita Lyons talks to Layla Diggs and Masyn Holiday in the back. Diggs says no one embarrasses her friend like that. Lyons asks what's with all the hostility and says she positively beat Masyn senseless. Diggs says she won but she's not gonna let her stand over her friend and dance over them. Digg asks for a match with her. Lyons says she loves charity work so why not?

It's Gal is in the VIP Lounge watching this.

MM and Cap go at it. MM grabs his leg and Cap fireman's carry takeovers him. MM waistlock takedowns him. Cap side headlocks him. MM armdrags him and does a neat pin attempt. MM boots him away and they double kip up together.

MM flips over Mike in the corner. Mike flying back elbows MM. Mike runs the ropes fast and is caught with a lariat from MM. Jax Presley and Harley Riggins then run in and hit both teams to cause the no contest.

Thoughts: It was a long bout with a lame ending. The ending made this one a waste of time. They did a little much here and selling was not a big priority in this. Aaron tries but he is a little awkward at times. Cap barely cleared the top rope on a suicide here but got lucky. I didn't really like this too much and thought it got a little too indy by the end of it.

Keanu Carver then comes down and knocks Cap into Aaron. Mike is pulled away from Riggins and Jax and Keanu short arm lariats him. It seems like Keanu, Harley and Jax are now a group. It's Gal claps in the VIP Lounge.

Karmen Petrovic is in the VIP Lounge. CM hides between the ropes to start. They lock up and go into the corner. They pieface each other. KG waistlock takedowns her multiple times. CM boots her in the corner. CM hits natural selection for 2.

Thoughts: It was another longer match here. There wasn't a great story or anything but KG was okay as a face. It was weird for them to have Wendy Choo come down, interfere yet not cost Chantel the match. I didn't really like this that much overall but Chantel showed that she can do alright in a longer single's match.

Chuey Martinez talks to Tate Wilder and Sean Legacy. Chuey says they will fight in a #1 Contender's Match next week. Sean says this is a match the fans want to see again after he got screwed on NXT. Tate says he was close to winning but didn't. He says he might be new but he's picking up wins and gaining momentum. He says he thinks he's starting to be in the title picture. Sean reminds him that he was thinking of quitting a few months ago until he gave him advice. 

Tate brings up the PC. Sean says he doesn't think he can trust anyone from it. Tate says that's the problem - Sean groups them together like they are the same. Tate says the PC talent is looking close to the ID talent. Sean says they can both agree they don't like The Vanity Project. Tate says he will put it all on the line next week and they shake hands. Someone then grabs Tate off screen and the show ends.

Thoughts: They've been slowly teasing a heel Sean Legacy and I think we are getting closer to it happening here.

Overall thoughts: It's a different show without Stevie Turner and The Vanity Project running things and they are still trying to figure things out. We had 3 matches here. None of them were that great. Grace/Carlee wasn't that good. The tag match got a bit indy and went on longer then it needed to. Then it had a run-in finish anyway. The girls got a lot of time for the main. No one botched or anything but there wasn't much of a story and I can't say I loved it. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 as it was average overall.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see Slater win here. It got a lot of time. Kofi did his flying and there was nothing wrong with this. It was a totally acceptable match here.

Overall thoughts: There was only one new match here as they had a lot of recaps and hyped up Mania. The one match we got was fine but nothing great. I wouldn't recommend this one.

Thoughts: Mara put out a good effort but it had some sloppy moments and weak looking moves which brought this down. 

Overall thoughts: There were 2 new matches here and one new interview segment. Neither match was that great but the men's match was better than the women's match. I like that they are pushing the story of Jake Painter trying to get his first win and giving you a reason to care about his matches. I wouldn't recommend this one and thought it was the usual so-so episode of Xplosion.
