Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/wwe-superstars-4262014.html 

We get a tribute video for The Ultimate Warrior, who passed away recently.

Byron Saxton and Tom Phillips are on commentary.

Big E vs Titus O'Neil

They lock up and E is backed up in the corner. Titus piefaces him and is shoved. Titus side headlocks him. E shoulders him over then gets slammed. Titus hits shots on him then chops him in the corner. Titus gets rough with him and puts him down in the corner.

Titus throws E on a slam and legdrops him for 2. Titus chinlocks him. E rams him into the corner and hits a corner spear. Titus facekicks him for 2. Titus kicks him in the gut and cranks his head. Titus tells him to quit. E hits shots to the gut. Titus slams E.

Titus slaps him around. E hits shots to the gut and Titus knees him in the gut. Titus talks trash and slaps him. E slaps him and hits punches. Titus knees him in the gut. Titus then slaps him. Titus tries to throw him but E lands on his feet. E hits lariats and belly to belly suplexes him. E hits a big splash. E then hits a big ending and wins.

Thoughts: Yeah, this was one of those Superstars gems. Titus stiffed Big E all the way through this one and hit a bunch of slaps like E owed him money. E definitely wasn't loving it and slapped him back a bit as well. Titus did a great job talking trash and this was a fun little fight. This was nothing but two big dudes getting chippy with each other and that makes for good wrestling.

Los Matadores (Diego & Fernando) vs 3MB (Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal)

It's hard to tell the Matadores apart so bear with me here.

Drew locks up with a Matador and side headlocks him. Drew shoulders him over and poses. Drew runs the ropes fast then a Matador stops him and yells "ole". Drew lariats him down and eats a boot in the corner. Drew then takes a 2nd rope diving headscissor.

Drew takes a russian legsweep into a slingshot swanton for 1. A Matador is rammed into the corner and JM hits some nice punches. JM is hurricanrana'd. JM forearms and clubs him. The Matador fights off the heels but is kicked in the leg hard by Drew and goes down.

We go to break and return. A Matador gets his legs split. JM elbow drops the Matador's leg and footlocks him. Drew boots the Matador in the leg. The Matador jawbreakers Drew. Drew bangs the Matador's leg over his shoulder for 2. Drew butt drops the Matador's leg and JM bangs it off the apron edge.

JM knee drops the Matador. 3MB hits a double slingshot suplex for 2. Drew boots the Matador in the knee and puts him in tree of woe. Drew boots the knee more there. JM then boots the knee. 

The Matador makes his comeback and ddt's Drew. The other Matador gets in and springboard chops JM. He flies at JM and 2nd rope double chops JM. The Matador bottom rope twisting swantons JM for 2.

Drew is sent over the top. JM and the Matador run into each other. Heath Slater and El Torito get on the apron. They then both get on the 2nd rope and Heath gets mad. Heath goes up top and Torito crotches him. JM is hit with a hammerlock ddt and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was an okay tag with one of the Matdores getting his knee worked on before tagging out and getting the win. It was nothing super memorable but it was fine for what it was. We also got our usual Torito spot where he crotched Heath.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual here. Big E vs Titus was good and the main was fine. I'd actually recommend the Titus/Big E match as they got stiff with each other and had a good little fight.
