Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/epw-wrestling-3212026-episode-234.html

Gene Jackson and Joey Gross are on commentary. It's Diana Taylor and ODB vs Madi the American Bdi and Bobbi Thunder in the main event tonight. We also have The Black List vs The Order.

EPW Tag Titles - The Order (Ethan Ross and Izzy Rotten) (c) vs The Black List (Cody James and Chris Styles)

Hollywood Jimmy is with The Order. We go to break and return as soon s it starts. Izzy's arm is wristlocked. Ross tags in. Cody throws him over by the wrist and wristlocks him. Izzy tags in and is put back in the wristlock. Cody rope walks and Izzy throws him down. Cody tries to tag out during the rope walk but the ref doesn't allow it.

Cody gets chinlocked by Ross. Izzy double axe handles Cody then chinlocks him. Cody elbows Izzy in the gut. Izzy corner splashes him. Cody boots him out of the corner. Cody flying lariats Izzy. Chris tags in and hits punches on the heels. Chris sends Ross out then flying euros Izzy. Ross tries to hit Chris with a title belt but Chris twisting neckbreakers him. Chris grabs the belt and the ref stops him. Izzy then punches Chris with a weapon and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a brief bout here with the heels cheating to win. It wasn't too much of note. Them going to a commercial as soon as the initial lock up happened was a bit comical.

Izzy argues with a little kid in the front row after.

"2 Smooth" Tye Miller vs DNA

DNA is from "Location Classified".

Tye evades him and slaps him. Tye dropkicks him twice then corner splashes him. Tye corner enzugiri's him then backflip double kicks him. DNA knees him in the gut and spins in mid air into a ddt. DNA then pins him.

Thoughts: It was just a quick squash. DNA has a cool look and the announcers put him over. Tye was moving well and it's a shame we didn't get more of this. 

DNA hits another mid-air spin into a ddt after.

We The Order in a car driving up to Aaron Roberts outside. They attack him 4v1. They then drive into him with the car! Aaron is then left laying.

Thoughts: WOW. They had some guts to do that angle. This is pretty wild stuff for a promotion like this.

Ethan Steele vs "Kickflip" Isiah Cone

Ethan's graphic said "Ethan Cross" but the commentators and announcer called him "Ethan Steele", so I will go with that.

ES forearms him and side headlocks him. ES shoulders him over. Cone running facekicks him then slams him. Cone bottom rope knee drops him. Cone chops and forearms him. Cone dropkicks him for 2. Cone misses a corner facekick. ES lariats him.

ES boots him and rakes his face. ES stomps him and rakes his face more. ES hits some nice punches in the corner. Cone forearms him down and spin kicks him in the gut. Cone pop-up backbreakers him.

Cone facekicks him on the apron then slingshot cutters him for the win.

Thoughts: What we got was fine here. Cone had some decent offense. Ethan threw some nice punches and was a pure heel.

Zay Washington comes out. He grabs Cone's skateboard and hits him in the face with it. Zay then does his exploder slam. Zay stands over him then takes Cone's skateboard. Zay then asks the fans if they want to buy a skateboard.

ODB piefaces Madi. BT tags in and taunts ODB. ODB boots her away. ODB trips BT and spanks her. BT punches ODB in the corner. Madi then boots ODB in the corner. Madi misses a corner charge and ODB slams her. ODB slams DT onto Madi for 2.

BT clubs on DT. DT hits shots to the gut. BT russian legsweeps her for 2. BT pulls DT's arms back. DT hits forearms and they swinging facebuster each other. ODB comes in and shoulders over the heels. ODB and DT bronco buster the heels. ODB gets a 1 count on Madi.

ODB drinks from her flask. DT bands Magi's head into ODB's crotch. DT snapmare drivers Madi and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a little disappointing. We didn't get to see a ton of ODB here and she was the big draw. The work was average here. I just didn't feel very fulfilled coming out of this one. ODB just didn't deliver the big @ss whooping you'd want to see and they didn't get a great hot tag for her either.

ODB stands on Madi as she celebrates after. Bobbi carries Madi out. ODB and Diana then drink together in the ring. 

Overall thoughts: It was a bit of a disappointing episode. The matches were all shorter and none of them were that great. DNA wrestled on this show and he has a good look. He may be worth keeping an eye on. The angle with Aaron Roberts getting run over by a car was pretty wild. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and just thought it was average.
