AAA on Fox 6/13/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/aaa-on-fox-662026-aaa-noche-de-los.html

Galeno corner lariats Golden. Galio takes an exploder into Golden in the corner. Galeno cannonballs both in the corner. Galeno top rope splashes Golden. Galeno then stacks the jobbers on each other and pins both.

Thoughts: It was all squash here. Galeno won as expected. I would have rather seen a singles squash match.

Hist is up top and Taurus is thrown into the buckles. Parka 2nd rope asai moonsaults Taurus. Oct top rope moonsault fallaway slams Hist and pins him.

Thoughts: It was an okay tag here. The Negro vs Fiscal rivalry isn't over and that was the main focus here with everyone just tagging along for the ride.

Oct and Parka dance with kids in their costumes in the ring after.

Omos vs Chris Carter, Kingu and Daimo

Omos splashes all 3 in the corner after. He throws all 3 across the ring. Omos corner splashes them all then chops Chris down. Omos lifts two of them and boots the other. Omos drops the two on the top rope and slingshots them back. Omos hits a double chokeslam.

Omos boots Kingu down. Omos last ride's Kingu. He stacks all 3 on each other and sits on them for the pin.

Thoughts: It was all squash here much like Galeno's match. The jobbers got thrown around and pinned without much of a problem.

AAA Mixed Tag Titles - Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana (c) vs Joaquin Wilde and La Hiedra

Hiedra backs up Lola on the ropes. Lola rolls her and Hiedra does a stretch muffler. Lola rolling armbars her. Lola rolls her up for 2 and spin kicks her in the gut. JW gets in and dances at Lola. Iguana hits JW with La Yesca. He then tilt-a-whirl armdrags him and flying headscissors him.

Thoughts: I wasn't a big fan of it. There was no reason to believe Lola's team was losing here. It had the usual issues with the women hitting the men and the men not being smart enough to do anything back. It went a little longer than expected and could have been more exciting.

Hiedra goes to hit Lola after and nails Hiedra. Lola drops JW with a shot. Lola and Hiedra fight. Las Toxicas come out and triple team Lola. Bayley and La Catalina come down to help out. The faces get the edge and send Las Toxicas out.

Overall thoughts: It was basically a filler episode here. There wasn't a ton going on storyline wise and the big stars weren't in action. There was nothing wrong with what we got, but you could skip it and not miss anything. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and I thought it was an average episode overall. The trios match was the best bout on here.

New Japan Pro Wrestling 6/14/2026 Dominion 6.14 In Osaka-Jo Hall

New Japan Pro Wrestling 6/14/2026 Dominion 6.14 In Osaka-Jo Hall

Thoughts: It didn't get a lot of time and that defined it. It would have been nice to get a straight 10 minute match or so but we got shenanigans with refs going down and guitar shots which didn't add anything to it. I didn't care for this. 

No Disqualification Match - El Phantasmo vs. Jake Lee

Lee comes up with a clown mask on and has clown make up on underneath. He also puts some kind of monkey doll at the bell ringers desk. They duel chairs to start.

Thoughts: It wasn't as good as it should have been. They just didn't get a good flow going here and because of the spot on the card, they had less time than they should have. They also spent too much time on basic holds when they should have been doing more flashy stuff. 

Mistico vs. El Desperado

Mist springboard crossbodies him then flying headscissors him. Mist topes him outside. Despy tope con hilos him through the ropes. Mist is sent into the post outside. Despy unties Mist's mask on the buckles. They trade chops and Despy drops him with one.

Despy facekicks Mist. Mist flying headscissors Despy. Despy slaps him down. Mist springboard back elbows Despy. Mist springboard diving headscissors Despy. Mist walks up the buckles and corkscrew diving armdrags him. Mist tornillo's him outside.

Mist misses a springboard swanton and Despy gets a 2 count on him. Mist springboard crossbodies him. Despy dragon screws him then submits him with a stretch muffler.

Thoughts:
It was an unusual one. They went straight to the flying and big moves then Despy won with a leg submission almost out of nowhere. This was below average.

They announce most of this year's G-1 line up. It has:

Block A - Takeshita, Yota, Sanada, Shingo, Jake Lee, Oleg, Goto and 3 mystery men.

Block B - Callum Newman, Zach Sabre Jr., Shota, Yuya, Ren, Drilla, Gabe and 3 mystery men. 

The winners of the Yuto Ice and OSKAR vs Khan and HENARE tag will qualify as well.

Thoughts: It doesn't look like a bad line-up. I'm hoping some AEW guys get invited.

Wolf powerslams Ren. Wolf uranage's Ren then angle slams him. Wolf then pins him.

Thoughts
: It wasn't any good as expected. It was mostly all shenanigans with HoT interfering, refs getting grabs and weapons being used. This is totally not what this card needed at this point.

IWGP Tag Team Title Match - Knockout Brothers (OSKAR & Yuto-Ice) (c) vs. United Empire (Great-O-Khan & HENARE)

Khan facekicks Os. Ice takes a powerbomb + claw slam and is pinned.

Thoughts
: It was a longer and slower paced match. I didn't really find it that interesting. Khan really didn't add to this at all and the flow just wasn't there. I was surprised to see Ice and Oskar lose since they were doing so well.

Khan goes to chair Ice after and Os covers Ice. Khan then chairs Os.

Thoughts
: Shota winning was a bit of a surprise. It wasn't anything too special. Each guy would hit a signature move then the next guy got in and repeated the process. It was herky-jerky as a lot of these three-ways then to be.

Shota goes to talk on the mic after and is jumped by Gabe Kidd. Gabe pildrivers Shota. They have mic problems. Gabe says he has a message from The Death Riders saying Shota was never one of them. Gabe says they set the standard and Shota has failed at every opportunity. Gabe says he will finish this. He says f*ck WWE and NJPW. He says AEW is where the best wrestle.

Thoughts: The finish was sudden and not that well built to. It also looked awful. The match wasn't that bad otherwise and by far was the best thing on the show but nothing memorable. Yota thankfully won here. 

Yota talks on the mic after. He says it's a new era of NJPW and says it's alive with him on top of it. Yota gets confetti after.

Overall thoughts: It was not a good show from NJPW. The first match didn't get enough time and had ref bumps and guitar shots. Jake Lee was back to acting goofy in the second match and brought things down with his shenanigans. Taichi's tag was acceptable but it didn't get the time to be good. Mistico/Depserado was unusual with a sudden ending. Ren's match was all HoT shenanigans. The IWGP Tag Title match was slower and just didn't really deliver. The three-way was nothing too special and a bit disjointed. The Jr. Title match was filled with shenanigans from HoT. The main had a weak finish but was the best match on the show. A lot of names were missing from this one as we had no Bishamon, Shingo, Yano, young lions and others. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and I thought the show was bad. This promotion is in a very poor state at the moment and it's going to be a long time before things get fixed.

AEW Collision 6/13/2026 Summer Blockbuster

AEW Collision 6/13/2026 Summer Blockbuster


 Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/aew-collision-662026.html

We are in Cincinnati, OH. Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness are on commentary.

Kenny Omega vs Bad Dude Tito

This is random. Tito hasn't appeared in AEW since 2023 and isn't even really an NJPW guy either (he only appears on NJPW Strong). This is supposed to do something to hype Forbidden Door.

They shake hands and Tito boots him. Tito hits shots on him and slams him. Tito knees him in the gut and KO hurricanrana's him. KO slingshot plancha's him. KO is suplexed on the floor. Tito forearms him.

Tito running euros him and corner lariats him. Tito exploders him. Tito hits forearms. KO finlay rolls him. Tito blocks a moonsault with double knees. Tito deadlift germans him for 2. They trade chops. KO flying pumping knees him. KO dragon suplexes him and running knees him in the face for 2.

KO pumping knees him. KO hits a one-winged angel and wins.

Thoughts:
Tito got most of the offense here. This only went about 6 minutes or so. It wasn't anything too special mostly because of the time it got. Kenny wins and who knows if or when we will see Tito again.

Kenny gets on the mic. He says he needs to climb back to the top and wonders what the next plan of action is. He says he couldn't make it in time for The Owen but got a match set up with Zack. He says Zack is one of the best technical wrestlers and people talk about him along with Nigel and Danielson. 

Kenny says he was once considered one of the best. He says Zack will take him to the next level. He says he will see him at Forbidden Door. He then does his usual goodnight bang line.

Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis do a promo. Kyle says he knows Mark feels down about losing in The Owen. He says it's not his fault and says it's all Takeshita's fault. He says Takeshita can't keep his name out of his mouth and it's an issue. He says it's time for them to take some revenge and bring the International Title back to The Family.

Kazuchika Okada comes in. He says it's time for "us" to bring the title back.

Survival of the Fittest Qualifier - Hikaru Shida vs Zayda Steel

They hockey fight. Zay hits chops and Shida pulls her down backwards. Shida stomps on her and hits mounted shots. Shida shoulders her over. Shida knees her in the gut then hits mounted corner shots. 

Zay flying headscissors her. Zay step up knees her in the corner. Zay basement dropkicks her. Shida blocks a baseball slide. Zay hangs over the edge and Shida kneelifts her. 

We go to PiP break and return. Shida knees her in the gut. Zay thesz presses her and hits shots. Zay backrolls her for 2. Zay swinging facebusters her and step up enzugiri's her. Zay topes her outside. Shida flying knees her. They trade forearms.

Shida buzzsaw kicks her. Zay octopuses her in the air. Zay rolls her up for 2. Shida low flying knees her for 2. Shida pulls Zay's leg backwards towards her head and Zay taps out.

Thoughts: It was acceptable and one of Zayda's better matches yet. She didn't botch and looked competent there against the much better Shida. I would have liked Shida to work the leg more before winning with a leg based submission.

Shida beats up Zay more and Christopher Daniels breaks it up after the match. 

The Opps are interviewed. Bowens says the future is bright and he feels invincible due to Samoa Joe. He says Joe taught him to choose violence and the violence will get them to the top of AEW and get them gold. Bowens asks the crowd to give them the standing ovation they deserve. Hook says enough of that. He says we don't care about applause, just destroying everything in their path. Hook tells him not to act like a leader and says he is new and needs to know his place. Bowens says they've been boys since Day 1. Hook says this is about violence and they are killers. Hook then tells Lexi that you talk to Hook when you talk to The Opps.

The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz) vs Aaron Atlas & Austin Atlas

One of the jobbers headlocks Dez. Dez cartwheels out and side headlocks him. Dez backrolls into a reverse headscissors. Zach bronco busters a jobber in the corner. The other jobber takes kicks and a double stomp to the back. 

Zach hits a flying corner dropkick on one of the jobbers. Zach is then pushed into an ssp on him. Zach gets the pin.

Thoughts
: It was short and they didn't tell us which jobber was which. The Rascalz didn't do a whole lot of flying here.

Dez talks on the mic after. He says it seems like they are the hottest trio in AEW right now. Zach says it's only fair that Cincinnati gets to see all 3 of them. Dez says it's time to bring out Myron Reed. 

AEW TNT Title Match - Kevin Knight (c) vs. Myron Reed

I have no idea how Reed earned this shot. He only won one singles match this year in March. 

KK backs up Reed in the corner. They trade waistlocks and Reed armdrags him. KK euros him and hits mounted shots. Reed legdrops KK over the 2nd rope. Reed kips down out of a lariat and enzugiri's him. Reed slingshot codebreakers him and KK goes out. Reed misses a slingshot plancha and cutters KK over the 2nd rope on his tope attempt.

Reed springboard dropkicks KK for 2. They chop each other in the corner. KK springboard diving lariats him. KK slams him for 2. We go to PiP break and return. Reed rolls up KK for 2. Reed superkicks him then slingshot backdrops him. They facekick each other at the same time and Reed drops KK on accident with it. Reed superkicks him then does his bridging ddt move. Reed is on the 2nd rope and KK hurricanrana's him down. KK tilt-a-whirl backbreakers him for 2.

Reed stunners him over the top rope. Reed jumps from the ramp over the top to the ring with a diving cutter. Reed then jumps over the top and cutters him from the apron to the floor. Reed springboard 450's KK for 2. Reed armdrags him into a pin attempt. Reed superkicks him. Reed goes for a cutter and is dropkicked from behind. KK uranage's him for the win.

Thoughts: It was all flying here. I thought they did a little too much as Reed over the top cutter to the floor really should have finished things. Reed's not the smartest wrestler ever but he always comes across as a natural underdog who is shooting for the stars in his bouts and comes across as likeable.

Megan Bayne and Lena Kross do a promo. They say there will be no one left one day soon and ask if there's anyone who wants to face them. They say if you climb the stairs to heaven, you may end up in hell.  

Maya World does a video. She says she woke up to news on Sunday that her big brother died. She says AEW told her to take time off but she says she needed to be here. She says she doesn't know how she won but she did. She says Athena taught her everything but it may come back to bite her in the @ss. She says this is the opportunity of her life in The Owen and she's taking it.

Athena does a promo. She says she's facing Maya and is sorry about what happened to her brother. She wonders "what about her?". She says she puts work in weekly as the forever ROH champ. She says she taught Maya everything that Maya knows, but not everything she knows. She says just because she's the it girl, it doesn't mean she's not living in her world.

Athena vs. Tiara James

Ath forearms her down and kicks her. Ath backsplashes her and corner forearms her. Ath forward handspring forearms her. TJ backrolls her and backslides her for 2. TJ then tries a jacknife pin for 2. Ath dropkicks her and baseball slides her off the apron. Ath low topes her. Ath hits ataxia then koji clutches her. Ath wins via submission.

Thoughts:
It was all squash here as expected and not much more.

Ath then beats her up after as she always does this and never gets it done to her. Maya World comes out to help Tiara. Ath teases leaving, but comes back and beats up Maya. Ath bangs Maya's face off the ROH Women's Title.

The Demand do a promo. Ricochet says he's had success after success but some downs like losing his AEW National Title. He says he can renew his quest for gold and says he's coming for Takeshita.

David Finlay hits a tech with a shillelagh during his entrance for his match.

The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) vs. The Dogs (Clark Connors & David Finlay)

DF wristlocks a Buck. A Buck side headlocks him. DF is pushed into his partner then he is hiptossed over the top onto his partner. A Buck then slingshot plancha's both outside. A Buck armdrags DF.

The heels are sent into each other. CC spears a Buck on the apron. A Buck takes a suplex + top rope spear and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was the usual Bucks match where they do every move they know, none of them mean anything and little is sold. This went way too long and I was surprised the heels won.

The Conglomeration talk. Kyle says they have a path to getting Mark a title shot. He says they just need to win a cage match. Kyle says Mark will reveal the dream team this week. Strong says he hates MJF. Kyle says the next AEW champ will be from Sandy Fork, Delaware.

Thek makes Tony help her up to the commentary table. She says Stardom had her and fired her, but look at her now. Thek says everyone is talking about Stardom because of her. She says her saliva is worth more than anything Stardom has in the locker room. She spits in her hand and wipes it on Tony. She tells Stardom to send their best girl and says she will give them an AEW Women's Title shot. She says she wants to buy the Stardom President a ticket so he can see the monster he created. She says she's the most toxic woman alive and the biggest mistake Stardom ever made.

The Bang Bang Gang do a promo. Austin says he used the $200k they won months ago and opened a center for neutering dogs. Juice says The Dogs will get a cone when they are snipped and can clean each other and Gabe when he comes back. They then say "Guns Up". This was gross.

Pers slaps her and slaps away Hart's mist attempt. Pers hits a razor's edge on her and pins her.

Thoughts: It got more time than it needed and was nothing special. It was slower and not that impressive.

They announce that Starlight Kid is challenging Thekla at Forbidden Door. Thek says Stardom's President did it again. She says she knows Kid and despises everything about her. She says it'll be good and great because Kid has never been to AEW. She says she will make sure her first time in AEW is her last time. She says the blood of Stardom will be on her hands.

Mike Bailey vs. Jake Doyle

Thoughts: It was surprising to see Jake win. I didn't expect that. I liked the match. They didn't go too crazy here and both guys mostly did what they were supposed to do in this power vs flying match.

Cincinnati Street Fight - Shane Taylor Promotions (Carlie Bravo, Lee Moriarty, Shane Taylor, Shawn Dean & Trish Adora) vs. Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia, Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir & PAC)

Shane takes running corner attacks. Pac running lariats Shane. Mox double underhook ddt's Shane and pins him.

Thoughs: It was a longer bout. I liked that it started outside. They did an okay brawl here. We had table spots, glass, tacks and lots of bleeding here. STP's matches tend to make sense and look realistic but not be super exciting. I would say that was the case here as it checked all the boxes but wasn't great. I'd say it was a good enough main though. 

Overall thoughts: This went 2.5 hours. They gave out a pretty good card and it was better than the usual Collision offerings. They also had a good bit of non-wrestling stuff happening to go along with the in-ring portions of the show. I would say the main was the match of the night. I'd give this a higher 6 out of 10 and would say it was good overall.

MLW Fusion 6/13/2026

MLW Fusion 6/13/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/mlw-fusion-662026.html

Joe Dombrowski and Tom Lawler are on commentary.

We see clips of Kross' and Riddle's history.

The hosts talk and run down the show's line-up. CONTRA keeps hacking the feed.

MLW World Middleweight Title - KUSHIDA (c) vs Alan Angels


Kush is in his heel attire here and Okumura is with him. Kush trips him then wristlocks him. AA reverses it. Kush armdrags him but AA holds on. Kush monkey flips AA. AA wristlocks him and Kush reverses it. They trade wristlocks and AA throws him by the wrist.

Kush then ankle locks him and AA taps out.

Thoughts: Kush mostly worked the arm here en route to victory. Kush took a nasty german on his head. AA did a lot of spin kicks here before going down. Kush's heel tactics are a little forced. It was acceptable.

Kush puts the armbar on him twice after.

Kush gives Okumura a CONTRA shirt after and Okumura accepts it.

Killer Kross does a video from earlier in the week. He says there's more stakes involved in his bout with Riddle and says it won't be the same as other bouts. He says Matt will go for the choke again and so will he. He says they want each other to know that the choke is coming and they can't stop it. He says not taking Matt seriously is a mistake. He says he jokes around but it's a deception. He says Matt has shark eyes when he's laughing. He says Matt likes to joke around but he likes to hurt people. He says in the end, everybody pays the toll, tick tock. 

Hammerstone threatens Matt Riddle in the back with a pipe and security stops Hammer. They argue and Matt tells him to get out. Matt says Hammer is next when he's done with Kross. Hammer tells him to watch his back.

Falls Count Anywhere Chicago Street Fight - Josh Bishop vs Matt Justice

MJ throws a trash can in and hits JB with it. JB clubs him on the apron. JB 2nd rope superplexes him on a trash can for 2. JB is bulldogged onto a trash can bottom. JB black hole slams him on the bottom of a trash can for 2. JB chops him and lawn darts him into the post outside. MJ spears him into a table next to the rails. MJ is busted open.

JB clubs on him outside. MJ chairs him in the head. MJ goes up in the stands and goes up near Don Gato. MJ gets on top of a rail. Don gives him some alcohol to drink. Two tables are set up and JB is on one of them. MJ jumps off the rail, the rail gives out and MJ only hits one of the tables in a very dangerous bump. MJ seems to hit his head off the 2nd table. MJ then gets a 2 count on JB.

JB's head is banged off the rail. JB chairs MJ. They go up in the stands again. JB throws him off the stands with a razor's edge, sending him through a table on the floor. JB pins him.

Thoughts
: I can't really put this over. This was a very dangerous match with Matt testing fate twice here. Matt took two bumps off the stands through tables and I do not know how he survived either one. The first one got botched as the rail gave out and he ended up putting himself through the table. The second bump was hit clean but the razor's edge through a table in the stands could have ended very badly. It's not like it was a bad match and the action was absolutely shocking, but I don't want to see anyone get hurt over this stuff. Matt also bled here. This was a wild wild bout that should not be attempted again.

We are told that Hammerstone has been ejected from the building.

They announce that MLW will have an MLW Southern Crown Title. They show us photos of Lawler, The Moondogs and The Midnight Express. Joe says the first champ will be crowned in a bunkhouse stampede match.

Thoughts: MLW doesn't really need another title.

MLW World Title - Killer Kross (c) vs Matt Riddle

Kross has Scarlet Bordeaux with him. 

Matt shoots in and KK blocks it. They go to the mat. Matt goes for a choke and KK rolls out. Matt goes for a grounded choke and KK ropebreaks. KK goes for a grounded choke and Matt ropebreaks. KK spanks him.

KK lariats and back elbows Matt. Matt cutters him. Matt misses a top rope moonsault. KK hits corner strikes. KK death valley drivers him for 2. 

KK cutters him for 2. Matt bridge pins him for 2 and knees him in the face. Matt powerbombs him then pumping knees him for 2. Matt corkscrew swantons him for 2. KK puts a choke on him. KK backdrops him then does a choke. Matt drops him backwards to break it up. Matt poses and KK puts the choke back on. Hammerstone runs in, boots Matt and causes the DQ.

Thoughts
: The finish was a bit lame but it keeps the Riddle/Kross feud going and builds up Hammer/Riddle. The match was fine and them both going for chokes was a key part to the story. 

Hammer powerslams Riddle then trade shots with Kross. He claymore kicks him. Riddle tries to low blow Hammer but is stopped. Hammer throws Riddle over the top. Kross lariats Riddle over the top. 

We see a CONTRA video when we are supposed to see Cesar Durant instead. CONTRA says he is gone and asks if we saw how easy they destroyed Mads Krugger. They say Cesar is gone and say CONTRA is everywhere and will strike again and again.

Overall thoughts: The wrestling was all fine here. The opener made sense and was acceptable. The street fight was wild with Matt Justice taking two wild bumps from the stands through tables. That is worth a look for that alone. The main ended on a DQ finish, but the wrestling in it was okay and the DQ was for a reason. It was almost all wrestling here and it was fine. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and the show was fine. Go see the Justice/Bishop match.

NWA Powerrr 6/13/2026

NWA Powerrr 6/13/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/nwa-powerrr-662026.html

Danny Dealz, Tim Storm and Joe Galli are on commentary. 

Carson Drake vs Tyler Franks

Ty has Knox and Murdoch with him. Drake has Aron Stevens with him.

They lock up. They shove each other in the corner and Ty shoves him down. They lock up again and Drake side headlocks him. Drake shoulders him over. Drake cartwheels off the ropes and does his dance. Ty dropkicks him. Ty then does Drake's dance.

Ty running euros him. Ty flipping neckbreakers him off the bottom rope. Drake drops him arm first on the top rope. Drake stomps Ty's arm then does knee drops on it. Ty is sent shoulder first into the buckles and post. 

Drake rolls him up for 2. Ty spinning forearms him from behind. Drake hits a stroke on him and pins him.

Thoughts: Drake won as expected. Ty got a couple of hope spots in and went down. It was acceptable enough for a shorter bout.

We see clips of Tommy Henry talking to The Paige Sisters last week. 

Kyle Davis talks to Kerry Morton in the ring and calls him "The Betrayer". Kyle wants him to address what happened with The Southern Six. KM says as his dad would always say - "I'm gonna look out for your best interests". He says when you see him, you see money. He says when Ricky Morton told him to put Idol on Silas, he didn't think twice. He says he just thought about that his dad will always have his best interests. 

KM says he is the face of the NWA and is Mr. Kerry Morton and the next NWA World Heavyweight champ. Kerry says he's been all over the world on his own, beat everyone who steps to him. He says it'll be the same thing with Silas. He says when he beats him, he did what's best for business. 

We see clips of Alex Misery winning the TV Title last week. We then see Eric Smalls punching Daisy Kill in the crotch after.

Daisy Kill does a promo. He says he's a little p!ssed off and can't get Eric Smalls out of his side. He says he's got a surprise for him and says to sit back, wait and watch the show.

Damian Fenrir vs Bonez

DF has a new entrance here with spotlights and dramatic music. Brandon McCord is picking one of his men to be DF's opponent here and he picks Bonez.

Bonez misses a spin kick. DF wristlocks him and Bonez rolls out. Bonez crawls around the ring. DF chops him then dropkicks him. DF hits him from the apron. DF goes for a springboard and Brandon McCord trips him. Bonez tries a tope con hilo but gets stuck on the top rope and lands hard on the floor.

Bonez whips DF into the rails. Bonez drops DF face first on the apron. Bonez double stomps him. DF hits chops on him inside. Bonez corkscrew kicks him then poisonrana's him for 2. Bonez facekicks him. Bonez is caught coming off the top and DF fallaway slams him. DF front suplexes Bonez. DF germans him. Bonez pump kicks him and takes a standign spanish fly for 2. DF hits splash mountain on him and wins.

Thoughts:
Fenrir won as expected here. The big moment here was Bonez missing a dive and landing hard on the floor and that was a bit of a destruction. Bonez's gimmick isn't one that is there to produce classics so the quality wasn't that good. Fenrir could have used more offense in this. 

Thom Latimer talks to El Dragon Nihan. He says Argento is in great shape but he's not sweating it. Silas Mason comes in. He says he accepts Nihan's challenge for the title. Silas says he's doing a favor for Nihan but won't take it easy on him. 

Thoughts: Silas' has kind of been a face lately and him being nice to Thom is kind of a retcon. I have a hard time buying that Silas is excited to face Nihan.

We go back to the NWA Training Seminar. Silas says you can't have doubts and have to believe you can be NWA champ. He puts over Wrecking Ball Legursky. Ball says you gotta do it for the red, white and blue, America baby. Bryan Idol says he's gotta face someone who is jacked in two weeks that is intense. He says he might be built like a fridge. Mike Mondo then gets upset and the segment ends. 

Thom Latimer vs Cristiano Argento

CA gets his big entrance with his Roman emperor gear. Silas Mason is on commentary for this.

Thom hits waistlock takedowns on CA. Thom hammerlocks him then takes him down by the wrist. Thom side headlock takeovers him a few times.

CA back elbows Thom for 2. Thom back body drops him then atomic drops him. Thom lariats him. 

Thom flying back elbows him and corner lariats him. Thom flatliners CA. Thom ddt's CA. Thom pop-up sitout powerbombs him and pins him.

Thoughts:
It was a shorter bout. CA got a little offense in and wasn't treated as a total joke which was nice, but he lost as expected. It was just average.

Carson Drake and Aron Stevens talks. Tiffany Nieves and The Slimeballz walk in. The Slimez accuse Tiff of trying to break in and they argue. They argue and Tiff says The Slimez promised her a new crown for doing a podcast with them. She ends up hitting The Slimez and Sage says he will call the cops. Tiff calls for Gretta and Tommy says they have to poop and have to go. Aron says they smell like it.

NWA Women's Tag Titles - The Hex (Allysin Kay and Marti Belle) vs Haley J and Clara vs Kenzie and Kylie Paige

The girls all argue and shove each other. J and Clara are sent out. The Hex and The Paige's shake hands.

We go to break and go to the NWA Training Seminar. Wrecking Ball keeps shoving someone off a lock up and he gets tired. Drake and other heels laugh at him. Ball asks Trevor Murdoch for career advice. Trev tells him to keep doing what he's doing. Markova says she likes his outfit but would go with a white shirt. Brandon McCord says there's nothing Ball can do to make it as a wrestler. He says the only job he is qualified for is being ring steps for another wrestler. He says he could only salvage him by giving him a mask, zipping the mouth shut and making sure he never ate anything again.

We return from break. MB hits a boot to the gut of Kenzie and Kenzie topes outside. All the girls end up fighting outside. J chops Kay outside then Kay chops back. MB hits a double lariat in the ring. 

MB hits a double corner hip attack. Clara takes a boot to the face > senton > PK for 2. Kylie gets some offense in. Clara spears Kylie. Kenzie superkicks Clara. J knees Kenzie in the face then slaps her. MB forearms J. J takes a dominator + running facekick. Kay wants to go to for the pin but she's not the legal person in.

Kylie hits shots on The Hex. The Hex double boot her. Kylie cutters Kay. Clara 2nd rope sunset flips Kenzie. Kylie low dropkicks Clara and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a bit hard to follow with a lot of action going on and a lot of people coming in and out. I figured The Paige Sisters would win as they had nothing going on and are regulars that are pushed hard. This was a random one and they didn't get a ton of time for all of the people involved. It was average. 

Overall thoughts: It was the usual episode of NWA with random matches that aren't anything too special. Nothing was that great here and maybe the opener was the best thing on here. They did follow up a bit on some storylines though. I wouldn't recommend this and this show was about as average as it gets. I'd give it a 5 out of 10.

We join this in progress. This is an older match. Info chokes OB on the ropes and the other Informante hits OB there. Info stands on OB's neck on the bottom buckle for 1. Info hits mounted shots. Info throws him down backwards for 2. 

Info chops OB and OB does a pumphandle bomb on him. OB pins him.

Thoughts: We saw very little of this. What we did see was a total waste of time with little of interest. They also kept cutting away to the crowd during the match.

La Guerrera Amazona does a promo. She says she's going for the WWC Women's title. She says the title is coming back to PR and she'll have La Tigresa in her corner when she wins it.

Lightning sends Paparazzi to the apron the facekick him down to the floor for the elimination. Wilfredo Rivera and  and Lightning are the last two. Lightning hits a big lariat. Lightning thinks he threw Rivera out, but Rivera holds out then throws out Lightning while he's not looking. Wilfredo Rivera wins.

Thoughts: It was a battle royal and they didn't do a great job of catching all of the eliminations. At least we got to see it in full through. They didn't waste a lot of time here or try to do anything special. It was a simple bout.

Wilfredo "Lynx" Rivera does a promo. He says the 4-way at the Anniversary show will have 4 of the best in the world. He says he was told he was the underdog in this and says no one wants this more than him. He says he will fight with all of his heart and if his opponents don't, they will be defeated. 

Abel Durant shows us clips of the Intelecto Cinco Estrellas vs Zcion RT1 feud. 

Intelecto Cinco Estrellas does a promo. He says he wants to send a message to Zcion RT1's dad. He says RT1's dad did a terrible job as a father. He says RT1 will have to learn not be afraid of the dark as he represents the darkness in RT1's life. He says he's the end of his fake career as a pro wrestler. He say the Anniversary show isn't the night of the false supreme leader. He says it's a night for him, the most dominant fighter today.

Zcion RT1 does a promo. He says the Anniversary show will be historic. He says Cinco is seeing his boogeyman and nightmare. He says Cinco has made his life impossible and harmed his family. He says there won't be anyone to save him anymore. He says they are in a cage but it's a classroom of death. He says either Cinco or him get out of the cage but both of them won't walk away. He says he's coming in with one thing in mid - to bury his career. He tells him to be prepared for the fight of his life. He says he's the maximum ultimate leader and the final revolution.

Abel talks about the Chicano/Bryan vs Colon's feud. We see clips of it.

Eddie and Carlito Colon do promos. Eddie says WWC hasn't had an anniversary like this in 23 years. Eddie says he's anxious and says Carlito is too. Eddie says they will face 2 pieces of trash who don't belong in the company. Eddie says they are coming in big. Carlito calls his opponents street vendor's. Carlito says they will show the difference between class and street.

La Amenaza Bryan and Chicano do a promo. Chicano rips how The Colon's are dressing in suits with fancy shoes. He says we will see a massacre at the Anniversary show and says blood will run. Bryan says they aren't clowns and they take the fight serious. Bryan says they wanted to vote them out and now it's time for payback. Bryan says it's wrestling 101 and the first course will be about how they ripped the heads off of two pigs.

Abel talks about the Ray Gonzalez vs Orlando Colon feud. We then see a video on it. 

Orlando Colon does a video at the beach. He says he's preparing for the most difficult fight of his life. He says he doesn't care about Ray's opinion. OC says he walks alone and never needed people like Ray. He needed people like himself who believes in himself. He says those people are real and people like Ray manipulate. He tells the fans to support Ray because he will make him look like #2.

Ray Gonzalez does a promo. He says things are heating up. He says Orlando returned and attacked him in Aguadilla. He says Orlando hasn't matured. He says what he said had to be said. He says actions are what makes a fighter great and not his words. He says he stood by his words for 33 years. He says Orlando isn't facing the Ray that throws headlocks and dropkicks. He says he's facing the devil Ray Gonzalez. He says he will teach him the lesson of his life and says he doesn't represent the Colon name well. He says he's not calling himself MR. Rating. He says to call him Mr. Lucha Estelar. He says he knows his blood is boiling and says he will checkmate him.

Xavant does a promo. He says the champ has arrived and says Alberto El Patron is saying at home on his couch talking trash about Puerto Rican's. He says to be careful because he's coming up behind him. He says he will speak to him with his hands. He says he will fight with his heart of the Puerto Rican people and will fight until he triumphs.

Axel and Abel talk about the Anniversary show and say fans are coming from all over. Abel says something about maybe telling us what the opening 2 matches are for the Anniversary show.

Paparazzi is at a gym with Pelayo Vasquez and says many stars have come out of it. He says 40 years ago, they called him to debut here. He says he knows Pelayo has the chance to have an important match at the Anniversary show. We see clips of them training together via and we see an Informante recording it. Papa says their session was intense. He says he'll see him back here next week. Pelayo isn't excited by this news and thought they were just trying today. Pelayo says he will be here next week. 

Overall thoughts: WWC isn't exactly the most exciting show each week and they didn't even meet their usual standards here. We saw 1-2 minutes of a match then a battle royal. It was all promos, hype videos and some segments after to hype up the Anniversary show. If you wanted wrestling, this was not the show for you as this was little more than Anniversary Show informercial. They did fine hyping that, but surely there has to be a way they can do it and give us a bit more wrestling. I wouldn't recommend this and could give it a 3 out of 10 total.

Thoughts: Pant Jr had a few not so clean spots but it wasn't anything bad. It was pretty good opener otherwise. We got lots of dives and they really stared off with a furious pace. They ended this at the right time too.

Valiente Jr., Max Star and Futuro vs Stigma, Arkalis and Rayo Metalico

Futuro's team won the first fall then Futuro got on his partners shoulders on the buckles and splashed Stigma. Stigma pinned Valiente Jr with a top rope splash to win the 2nd fall. Valiente Jr wins the 3rd fall with a code blue on Arkalis. Valiente Jr.'s team wins the match.

Thoughts: It was nearly impossible to follow. It's not so much that everyone in it is works similarly...but 5 out of the 6 chose to wear white outfits with various shades of blue. Add a fast pace to it and lots of spots with multiple people in the ring and it got worse. It wasn't quite as wild as I expected but it had a lot of flying as expected. It would have probably taken me a half hour to write a play by play on this due to the wardrobe issues.

Thunder Rosa, Lluvia and Jarochita vs Persephone, Keyra and Olympia

Pers and Rosa go at it. They trade some holds and Pers shoulders her over. Rosa russian legsweeps Pers and kicks her in the head for 2. Pers goes up over, bridges out of a lariat and superkicks Rosa. Jaro comes in and top rope diving armdrags Pers.

Olym springboard plancha's Key and Rosa. Jaro goes for a dive and Pers spears her. Pers pins Jaro.

Thoughts: It was only one fall here and I'm not sure why. It was acceptable. They didn't have a lot of botches, they flew a little and things mostly went okay.

They throw giant beach balls in the ring into the crowd and let them play with them. They then try to get the crowd to do the wave.

Titan superkicks Yut. Titan flying corner lariats Yut and falls outside doing it. Titan top rope double stomps Yut. Titan does a sharpshooter with a bridge on Yut and submits him.

Thoughts: It started out very fast and they definitely got tired near the end of it. They worked a bit faster than they could handle and the match was rushed and not so great. Titan falling through the ropes off the corner lariat was kind of funny.

ROH Tag Titles - LFI (The Beast Mortos and Sammy Guevara) (c) vs Villano III Jr. and Hijo del Villano III

Hijo and SG go at it. Hijo rolls him and headflips over him. SG flips over him. SG flying headscissors Hijo and Hijo headflips out. SG then does the same when Hijo flying headscissors him. SG trips Hijo and they kip up together. Mort lariats Hijo. V3JR springboard dropkicks SG.

The Villanos miss flying moves. SG springboard plancha's Hijo out and Mort pop-up samoan drops V3Jr. Mort top rope corkscrew moonsaults V3Jr and pins him. Mortos' team wins the match.

Thoughts: I was surprised The Villanos didn't win here. They had a few sloppy moments but it mostly went okay here. It had a lot of flying as expected and The Villanos went all out as usual.

BT tries to green mist TM but misses. TM tiger drivers him and pins him.

Thoughts:
It was an okay main. It didn't go that long and Tiger didn't mix the greatest with some of these guys. We had a lot of flying here and a lot of action. Tiger got the win as expected since he's on his retirement tour. 

The announcer then closes out the show.

Overall thoughts: The opener was maybe the best thing on here. The 2nd match wasn't bad but it was very hard to follow with everyone wearing near identical white and blue outfits. The women's match was acceptable. Titan/Yutani was rushed. The ROH Tag Title was okay. The main was also okay. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as it was a decent night of wrestling overall but not CMLL's best. A lot of CMLL regulars were missing from this one.

Sami Zayn complains to Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae in the back. LeRae asks Gargano when he will get up and do something about it and Sami says he will clear the air with Cody once and for all, thinking she was talking to him. Sami then thanks Gargano, who had said nothing.

Matt Cardona comes in and talks to Dan. Matt wants The Knicks to win and gives him a watch. Kit Wilson comes in and he shows us The Miz. The Miz is acting goofy and has his hair all spiked. Kit asks Dan to reverse this. Kit hits one of Dan's tools and gets himself shocked. He's shaking on the floor and Dan leaves.

Thoughts: This was wild even for WWE standards. If you told me I dreamt this one, I'd believe you.

Solo asks what the hell happened to him and says he used to be a killer. He says he was close to beating Roman and is just his bag boy now. He says Fatu knows he is right too. 

Solo says Roman has done nothing but humiliate him and make him kneel down like a dog in front of the world and his family. Solo says that's not how you treat someone you love. Solo says he's not going back and says to tell Roman that he can go to hell. Fatu says he gets it but he made his decision and will stand on business. He says if Roman sends him for Solo, he's coming for him. Solo says to tell roman that if he wants to come home, he can come and get him.

Thoughts: It was a weird segment. Solo was totally a face and totally told the truth here. Fatu is acting like Roman's b!tch for unknown reasons and it doesn't help anyone or make much sense.

Thoughts: It was a totally random one. The crowd wasn't that into it which isn't surprising. Rey totally missed some kicks here that got sold anyway. They did a lot of flying but it wasn't quite as good as it should have been. Ax's slide through the ropes german was a new spot I've never seen done before.

Gunther talks to Nick Aldis in the back. Gun says he needs a good guy to be the special ref and says it will be Sami Zayn. 

We see Trick Williams and Lil Yachty arrive.

He says Fatu is here to help him. Solo says Keys calls Fatu family but it doesn't sound like family to him.

He tells him good luck next week and Cody looks worried.

LA Knight is interviewed. LA says Bloodline is in the building but so is he. He says you can call him LA-damus. He says Jey was told to do it by himself but now Jimmy and Fatu are here. LA says he won't make promises. He says if he can defy the odds, he can wear the crown and stomp Roman out.

Jey Uso is in the concourse with the crowd but we can't hear him due to audio issues.

King of the Ring First Round - Jey Uso vs LA Knight vs Finn Balor vs Royce Keys

LA double jump elbow drops Keys. Solo samoan spikes LA. Keys spinebusters LA. Jey top rope splashes Keys and pins LA.

Thoughts: It was a decent main here with a table spot and people going over the rails. Keys had a bit of a sloppy night and they furthered stuff with Solo and Jimmy. Jey seems like he has an easy path to the finals of KOTR now. Finn probably could have used the win though.

Overall thoughts: It was an okay show. Gunther vs Cody with Sami as the special ref next week should be interesting and I'm curious to see where they are going with Solo. The opener was alright. Paige's tag match and Axiom's match wasn't that good. Tiffany's tag was average and I liked the main. The segment with Danhausen and The Miz was out there. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 here as there was some stuff I didn't like here. I thought it was acceptable overall.
