Goto stomps Jake while he's down. The ref stops Goto and Jake running facekicks Goto for the pin.

Thoughts: I had low expectations for this one and those weren't met. This was dumb with Jake faking an injury, the ref doing everything to stop Goto from pounding on him and Jake then using that to his advantage to win. This was a waste of my time.

Thoughts: Well, Khan was creative here. He found some interesting ways to work the injured ribs and Oiwa pulled off the upset in the end to win. I still wouldn't call it great but it was something different. I don't get why Khan wasn't DQ'd for the chair though.

Oiwa spinning lariats Kahn off the apron and into the rails after when Khan grabs the ref.

Thoughts: It was mostly all forearms and kicks. Like a lot of Minoru Suzuki matches, all the strikes have to get you somewhere eventually or the match gets boring. The strikes didn't really progress enough for me. It was acceptable but it was wearing out it's welcome. And then after all the strikes, KT didn't even win with a strike.

G1 Climax 2026 Block A Match - SANADA vs. Yota Tsuji

Yota wristlocks him and San reverses it. San side headlock takeovers him, Yota does a headscissors and they stand off. Yota shoulders him over. San dropkicks him in the knee.

Thoughts: I liked it. It didn't get enough time to be great but it was a fun match and San mostly wrestled clean outside of the finish. The two worked well together and it was one of Sanada's better performances lately. The first half of this was a little slow but it picked up.

Thoughts: It was the biggest win Oleg has had in the biggest match he has had. It was an okay match. They had a lot of hard lariats here and did a lot of chops and basic strikes. Oleg didn't quite show as much fire or do as much impressive stuff as he could have though and that made this not be as good as it could have been. 

Oleg talks on the mic after in Japanese.  

Overall thoughts: I liked the little we got of Yuya's and Zack's tags in the undercard and didn't care for the other two undercard matches. Goto/Jake was a waste of time. Khan was creative in how he worked Oiwa's ribs in his match and that match was something different. Takeshita/Ice was acceptable but it was a little too heavy on strikes. I liked Sanada/Yota and it was one of Sanada's better performances of the year. Shingo/Oleg was okay but it didn't really get to the next level and that's been the case for most of Oleg's matches. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 as it was okay enough. Yota/Sanada was the match of the night.

TNA Xplosion 7/17/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/tna-xplosion-7102026.html 

There was no Around the Ring with Gia Miller this week. The only new content is:

M By Elegance vs Shazza McKenzie

SM cradles M for 2. SM split stunners her. SM yells at Mr. Elegance on the apron. M facekicks SM from the side. M coast to coast dropkicks M and pins her.

Thoughts: It was competitive with Shazza going for a lot of pins before going down. M had a good showing and was moving well here. This was fine for the amount of time it got.

Overall thoughts: We only had one more match here and nothing else that new. The one match was fine but it was nothing you need to see. You could watch all the new content in 5 minutes here and I wouldn't recommend this one.

WWE NXT 7/21/2026

Thoughts: Not sure about the ending here. I didn't think Nat took enough punishment for that and Lyons isn't exactly the caring type. I liked it otherwise though and would have liked to have seen more of it. It was an okay bout here with them showing aggression and Nat working the knee.

Thoughts: It wasn't anything too special. Like the Darkstate split, this story didn't get over that much. They just did a lot of the basics here and it wasn't too exciting.

Niko goes to attack Shawn after but refs stop him.

Stone asks Kam Hendrix what his health status is. Kam says he had a setback and is at 62%. Myles Borne and Tavion Heights come in. Borne asks if him and Tav can get a tag title match.

Thoughts: They didn't do anything wrong but RV didn't really stick out in any way. She does pretty basic stuff and she's really only notable for being wide. Sky lost as expected.

Robert Stone is eating popcorn chicken in the back. Shiloh Hill comes in and Stone offers him some. Stone makes a joke about Dan cursing him. Hill says Angels tried to embarrass him and vengeance consumes him. He says Angels needs to be put down. Stone sets up Hill vs Angels for next week. Hill then takes all 7 boxes of Stone's popcorn chicken in this obvious advertisement.

We see someone arrive in a car.

Tony blocks Nar's red mist with his hands. Tony rubs his hands in Nar's eyes. Tony hits Nar with a kendo stick then crotches him with it. Tony chokes Nar through a table while standing on steps. Tony wins.

Thoughts: Tony was dumb not to have any kind of preparation for the mist. He had to know it was coming. It was an okay hardcore match but nothing you would remember. Tony blocking the mist at the end was the coolest spot in this one. Thankfully Tony won, though neither he or Naraku are that hot right now.

Mike Santana's music hits and he arrives in the crowd. Mike look at Tony and Tony holds his title up at him.

Overall thoughts: I liked the opener. Keanu/Hank was a decent bout as Jaida/Nattie was okay. Shawn/Niko was average. Reina Volcan debuted, squashed Skylar Rae and didn't impress. The main was an okay hardcore match but nothing too memorable. The big news coming out of this was Mike Santana arriving in NXT. I don't know where NXT is going to fit all these people in as the roster keeps growing yet no one is leaving and NXT is not getting more TV time. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 as this show was fine overall.

This couldn't have gone much better than it did and was a huge success.

15 Minute Lightning Tag Team Match - La Ola Negra (Espanto Jr. & Raider) vs. Atrapasuenos (Espiritu Negro & Rey Cometa)

I don't know what the point of this being 15 minutes is since it probably wasn't going that long anyway.

The heels then unmask Mist and get DQ'd. Mistico's team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: The finish was kind of dumb as the heels seemingly had control over Mist and then threw it away for the unmasking. It was good otherwise. We got a lot of flying, the heels didn't get too long of a beatdown on the faces and it ended at about the right time.

Mist is put on a stretcher after. The heels beat up Mist on the ramp while he's on the stretcher. The heels celebrate.

The announcer then close the show.

I also wanted to mention that Dave Meltzer was shown here as he was in attendance for this.

Overall thoughts: The opener was good. The tag team lightning match was alright. The women's match beat my expectations and wasn't bad at all. Templario/Kwon was average as was Yutani's tag. The main was good minus the finish. I'd give this a lower 6 out of 10 as it was an okay show overall. The main was the best match of the night.

Wilfred Rivera does a promo. He says he will face El Informante for the TV Title. He says they don't talk to informants where he's from. He says he will let his passion and wrestling talent speak for him. He says he will let his fists talk to him. He says he hopes Informante is ready.

Lou Forza does a promo. Lou says he will be quick and invite us to the show tonight. He says we will witness the failure of Mike Nice and Oscar Benabe. He says they will fail and says it's easy and simple. He says his opponents will fall at their feet and says nobody can stop The Perfect Aura.

The announcers talk about the new WWC Premium Youtube channel, but it actually doesn't exist yet if you go to Youtube. PV armdrags him twice. 

Info hits him in the gut and chops him. PV slingshot sunset flips him and Toledo just moves Info out of the pin attempt. PV goes to hit Info, Toledo grabs PV and Info hits PV. 

We go to break and return. La Amenaza Bryan does a promo. He talks about the 3-way match. He says we are tired of listening to Joe Bravo's rambling and says his nice words don't win titles. He says Xavant is a lost soul. He says he is told all these big things about him but what does he care? He says he has a chance to become champ tonight and won't waste it. He says there will be a new champ tonight.

Xavant does a promo. Xavant tells us to buy ringside tickets for tonight' show and says he has to be on the lookout for all the foreigners in WWC. He says when he defends the PR Title, he defends it as if it was his homeland. He say he will fight with all his heart and persevere until he succeeds.

We return from break. PV cradles Info and Toledo doesn't count it. Info and PV chop each other. Info boots PV then slaps him around. PV gets some shots in and topes the other Informante outside. Informante then nails hi partner on a tope con hilo when PV moves.

Toledo pulls that ref out and stomps him.

Info low blows PV. PV holds onto the ropes, Toledo kicks his hand away and Info rolls up PV for the pin.

Thoughts: It was all BS as expected here. Pelayo was really dumb in kayfabe to agree to this and paid for it. I didn't really enjoy this that much as Pelayo was basically fighting off Informante and Toledo all match long.

Abel Durant talks about Summer Madness tonight. We get a video on the Orlando Colon vs Ray Gonzalez feud with Carlito and Chicano talking. 

Abel talks about going to San Antonio and says Ray Gonzalez's son was attacked there. We then see clips of Alberto El Patron vs Ray Gonzalez. Alberto does a promo and says Ray Gonzalez is corrupt. Al says he's the greatest of all time and changed the industry. Al asks if Ray will need 20 men or a corrupt ref to beat him and tells him to watch out tonight.

Ray Gonzalez does a promo. He says he has a message for Chicano, Orlando Colon and Carlito Colon. Ray says this is just the beginning. He says each of them will pay for what they did. He says at Summer Madness, he's facing Alberto El Patron. He says Al keeps talking trash and saying things that are low for an athlete like him. He says he needs to show more respect. He says he's a great fighter but they have unfinished business to settle. Ray says they will settle it at summer Madness. He tells him to come prepared to survive as he is coming to break that dirty mouth of his. He says he will show him some respect and will checkmate him. We saw this already.

Abel then talks about Zcion RT1 vs Lightning. We see clips of Lightning attacking him in the bathroom.

Zcion RT1 does a promo. He says Lightning made the worst mistake of his life and pressed the panic button. He says he gave him one of the greatest battles and defeats in his life. He says there's a war and says Lightning crossed the line. He says Lightning must pay the price. He tells him he will have to knock him out of the race to become Universal champ. He says he's coming to rip out Lightning's soul later tonight. He says he is the ultimate leader and the revolution.

We get clips of an Andrade El Idolo vs Carlito match that is probably old.

El Paparazzi and Pelayo Vasquez talk in the bathroom. Papa says he was looking for him and he knows what's on his mind. Papa says there's always a way out. Papa tells him not to worry and says let's talk to the committee about this. Pelayo doesn't believe it. Papa tells him to calm down and says they will solve this.

Axel and Abel then shill tickets for tonight's show. They then tells us to tune in tomorrow.

Overall thoughts: There were 2 new matches here. Markova/Amazona was average. Pelayo/Informante was mostly BS as the heels screwed Pelayo. There was also a lot of last minute hype for tonight's show here. This was average overall and I'd give it a 5 out of 10.

WWE Monday Night Raw 7/20/2026

Danhausen comes out. He says he thought he took care of Judgment Day at SNME but they still want their money back. He says he doesn't want the money but doesn't want Judgment Day to have it. He says let's give it to the fanhausen's.

We get another Seth vs Roman video.

Adam says they should settle this now between JD and Oba. Dom says this isn't fair. Adam says Dom can face Hendry tonight.

Oba back body drops him. Oba running corner euros him then running euros him down. Oba backdrop throws JD. Oba sitout last rides him and wins.

He says the cell is unforgiving and talks about the violence. He says Oba is overrated and says Brock has never lost in Hell in a Cell. He says Oba had the best rookie year in WWE since Brock. 

He says Oba can't beat Brock in HIAC. He says Oba's rookie year won't go down like everyone thinks. He says it goes down in history as it comes to a violent end at the hands of Brock Lesnar.

Thoughts: We had a lot of interference from Liv here. It was acceptable. I felt like both Joe or Dom could have won this one. 

We see clips of CM Punk piefacing Cody Rhodes at Summerslam Kickoff.

Joe Hendry and Danhausen will do a concert next week which should be something. 

LA Knight talks before his match.  

LA Knight vs Jacob Fatu

He asks if he just saw Solo Sikoa come out here and says Solo is now talking about helping Seth Rollins after LA said it was hard to trust him. He says Seth vs Roman at Summerslam makes him sick. He says he's everything Roman wanted to be and everything people in the back wanted Roman to be. He says Solo is focused on the wrong thing. LA says it's going too far to trust Seth. he says they will destroy Bloodline at Summerslam. 

He says Fatu's Mortal Kombat music will play soon and he will test his might. He says Fatu can't stop LA Knight. He says he has the cure for Fatu's shakes and it's him smacking him back to factory settings.

Jey Uso comes out and superkicks Keys three times. Jey dumps keys over the rail. LA dropkicks Jey through the ropes. Fatu superkicks LA then pop-up samoan drops him. Fatu double jump moonsaults LA and pins him.

Thoughts: Loses Always Knight dropped another one here. Nobody needed to lose here and both could have avoided it, but they did it anyway. There was a lot of outside fighting in this and no great logic before the interference. It went okay enough though.

Solo attacks Fatu after and The Uso's take out Solo. Keys double lariats The Uso's. Keys and Fatu trade shots and Keys spinebusters Fatu. The Uso's double superkick Keys and 3D him. LA gets an edge over the heels and Fatu tongan death drip's LA. Jey, Jimmy and Fatu hit corner hip attacks on LA. Jey top rope splashes LA. 

Overall thoughts: The women didn't wrestle here (and Liv/Dupri were the only girls we even saw) and we had a lot of talking on this show. You could have skipped this one and not missed too much as next week's Raw is the go-home show and that'll be the one to watch. The show was okay overall and had a lot of decent wrestling. I'd give this a 6 out of 10, but it was nothing too memorable. The main was the match of the night.

WWE LFG 7/19/2026 Season 3, Episode 13

WWE LFG 7/19/2026 Season 3, Episode 13

Thoughts: I'm sure this was probably clipped as it wasn't long. What we got was acceptable but it was too brief.

Natalya talks to Nikkita Lyons and Masyn Holiday. Nat says she loves NL and says she has a positive attitude. NL says she worked Nat in NXT and it was fun. Masyn says she loves NL. Nat wants NL to be rough on her to start and wants them to shove each other. Masyn says Nat showed them new holds and techniques. Nat says she likes getting hands on in the ring. Nat says Masyn has a great attitude. NL says Nat isn't afraid to get in your face and she loves it. NL says Nat shows you what she wants instead of telling you.

Nikkita Lyons vs Masyn Holiday

NL backs her up on the ropes and faceshoves her. Mas shoves her back then armdrags her twice. Mas dropkicks her out. NL hits Mas outside then hits shots to the gut. NL hits corner spears. NL snapmares her and stands on her. NL butt drops her.

Thoughts: It wasn't anything special. Masyn needed a better comeback and better offense. NL was the better wrestler here.

Masyn Holiday is on the ground after the match. NL joins her. They then get up. NL says wrestling cardio is hard. Nat says it's hard too and says 6 minutes in the ring is the same as a 45 min run. Nat says the match structure was fine and says Masyn needs a better comeback. She says Masyn needs to do more matches to learn better. Bloom says both girls looked tired and it affected the match. Bloom says it's not easy, but you gotta do your part and get in shape. 

Bubba talks to Jaime Garcia and Nathan Cranton. He says JG didn't have a good week 2 weeks ago. Bubba tells JG to live in the moment and not worry about spots and moves. They want to tell the story of NC working JG's arm. Bubba yells at JG's selling and tries to explain selling to him.

Thoughts: I didn't love it. NC worked the arm early and then stopped. JG didn't sell that well as usual.

Bubba asks NC and JG how they thought they did. Bubba says they did a great and he says he enjoyed the match. We see TJP shaking hands with them.

JG says he wants to be on NXT and plays with the boom mic. NC says he's happy with the match. Johnny Russo gives him an envelope with his name. NC is pleased with it but doesn't say what it is. We then see him drive his car which says, "Tristan Angels" on it. He says it's the most important name in WWE history through a megaphone. He says he feels like he is angelic and wanted his name to reflect it. 

Overall thoughts: It was the usual show. The coaches helped set up the match, the wrestlers performed it then they critiqued them on it after. Riggins/Tate was acceptable. Lyons/Masyn wasn't that good and neither was the main event. There was nothing you really needed to see here and I'd give it a 4 out of 10. It was a little below average.

LM52 Lucha Libre Mexicana on Discovery Espanol 7/19/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/lm52-lucha-libre-mexicana-on-discovery_01436955291.html

Leobardo Magadon and Alberto Zamudio are on commentary.

The hosts talk to open the show. 

We see clips from last week of various people talking to Dr. Wagner Jr. We then get clips of last week's trios main event.

Super Nova vs Mamba

Mamba kisses people in the crowd during his entrance. 

They take a while to get going. Nova takes him down and Mamba armdrags him twice. Mamba side headlocks him then shoulders him over. Nova armdrags him and gets armdragged. Nova then backs off.

Thoughts: I didn't like it that much. It had Mamba's exotico comedy and neither really did anything too flashy here. It got a bit more time than needed and was an average match.

Some of the girl wrestlers talk in the back. Sagitarius tries to touch the other girls' hair and has her hand pushed away. The two girls who got touched leave. Those two girls then run into the janitor and seem to say it's okay to go in to clean the room.

Sagitarius and Diosa Quetzal vs Estrellita and Lolita

Lolita and Estrellita became friends on the 6/28 episode when Sagitarius hit them.

Thoughts: It wasn't that bad, but the finish was botched a little. Estrellita had some sloppy moments here. It was a little faster paced than you would think.

The two girls who Sagitarius messed with earlier come out. They seem to join Sag's side and leave with her. 

The announcers talk.

We go to the back. Lolita and Estrellita find that their stuff has been picked through by someone. They ask the janitor guy what happened. He says something about 2 girls but seems to defer blame otherwise. 

The announcers then close the show.

Overall thoughts: There were two matches here. The opener was average. The women's match was a little better but nothing you need to see. There wasn't a lot going on otherwise except for Lolita and Estrellita having their bags messed with. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and would say it was average. I wouldn't recommend this one.

AAA on Fox 7/18/2026

AAA on Fox 7/18/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/aaa-on-fox-7112026.html

We are in San Luis Potosi. JBL and Corey Graves are on commentary. Savio Vega and Rey Mysterio do some translations.

We see various wrestlers arrive.

Rey Mysterio comes out to talk. He asks the fans to raise their hands if they've been fired before. He says the fans can't always fix the injustice but he's the GM and he can. He asks Andrea Bazarte to come out.

Andrea Bazarte comes in. Rey apologizes for all she has been through. He wants to compensate her and offers her a new contract. He says it's like the last one but with more money for the inconvenience. Andrea says she can't believe all the great moments she has experience since she has gotten here. She says AAA showed they are the best company in the world and have the best fans in the world. She accepts the new contract and thanks Rey. 

Rey then talks about the vacant AAA Latin American Title. He says El Hijo de Vikingo will be out for a while. He says if you want something, you have to win and fight for it. He says here will be 4 three-way matches for those with La Parka vs Mecha Wolf vs Dragon Lee. He says it'll also be La Fiscal vs Cruz del Toro vs Psycho Clown. He says there will then be Omos vs Damian Priest vs Galeno del Mal. He says the first match will happen tonight. Omos and Dorian Roldan were watching this in the back and Omos thought he wouldn't be included.

Doc throws Tex out and Negro tries to pin Doc while using the ropes. Negro pulls at Doc's mask. Negro grabs knucks and hits Tex with them, knocking off the apron. Doc spinning forearms Negro and michinoku drivers him. Doc pins Negro.

Thoughts: I don't think this was designed for Texano Jr. to get the most over, but that's what happened as he had a good night and threw hard shots. None of these guys are big flyers, so it was a different type of three way than usual. It was fine enough but nothing too special. I can get why they like Doc so much on paper, but in real life, there's a lot of people who are better than he is.

La Hiedra and Laredo Kid talk to Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana. Lola and Iguana don't care. Hiedra says she figured out why she hasn't been able to win the Mixed Tag Titles. She says it's because she had the wrong luchador by her side. She says she has a champ and someone who can show her the ropes now. She says they are both from Laredo. She says they will win tonight and then says the next show can't happen without them. Lola tells Iguana that Hiedra is still in love with him. Iguana spits something out and says he can't blame her.

We see a hidden cam of Psycho Clown hugging The Psycho Circus in the back.

Hiedra stunners Faby and pins her.

Thoughts: It went pretty well. I'm a long time fan of Faby and she's a real vet at what she does. This couldn't have gone much better than it did and I would have been fine with this going even longer. Hiedra's team won here as expected and they kind of have to win the Mixed Tag Titles or the story ends. This was an okay match.

Rey Mysterio does a press conference. He says he's surprised by Dominik Mysterio's actions vs Perros del Mal and he can't wait to see what happens. He talks about next week's Verano de Escandalo card. Rey says Octagon Jr. suffered a neck injury and has a long way to go to recover. He says he sends his best wishes to him and says a spot will be waiting when he returns.

Rey is asked if Triplemania is sold out and Rey says it's almost sold out. He says to buy your tickets for that and the 7/25 show soon. 

Los Perros del Mal come out. They talk. Daga says he has been asked what happened to Perros del Mal many times. He says everyone would lose time finding the answer. He says everyone wants to become popular on social media instead of becoming dangerous. He says Perros weren't born to be in war with Mexico but were born because the business was become weak. He says that's why people like Damian 666 and Halloween reminded people how to fight and get what you deserve. Daga says that's why they are back. Daga says when you are a Perro, you will always be a Perro. 

He says Angel and Berto were born to become stars and re two men that are accustomed to have what they deserve. He says Bronco Nima is the most dangerous man in the industry and doesn't have  to ask for permission for anything. He says if you look at Karmen Petrovic, you are screwed. Daga says he's one of the chosen and the last man that Perro Aguayo Jr. trusted to take the Perros flag. 

Daga says they didn't come here to ask for opportunities or respect, they came to become the nightmare to everyone in the locker room. Daga says they are the ones that make the rules. He says he wants to see if Dominik Mysterio is brave enough to face them in person like he was on camera. Daga says he accepts Dom's challenge for the Dom/Grande vs Perros match. He says God forgives and Perros don't.

Dominik Mysterio comes out and El Grade Americano follows. Rayo and Bravo Americano get on the commentary table. Everyone fights in the ring and Karmen cheers on Perros from the outside. The show then ends.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 matches here and both were fine. I liked the mixed tag match best. We also had some announcements, some talking from Perros del Mal and a big fight to close the show. It was a simple one and all roads lead to next week's Verno de Escandalo event. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as the show was fine overall.

Thoughts: I didn't like it at all. They goofed around early to celebrate Poi's birthday then actually had a real match after. It'd be one thing if they did the goofing around before the match, but they did it during the match. So clearly, no one was worried about winning or losing here.

Poi and SA talk on the mic after and SA gives Poi "31" balloons for her age.

Thoughts: It was a decent match so of course we had a DQ finish at the end. The ref seemingly got pulled out during a pin attempt, but we didn't see it and he didn't seem to mind as he did nothing about it. At least he did DQ the heels for using weapons on Inaba in front of him. This was mostly all Inaba working Tora's leg.

I liked this one and thought it was a good match.

Thoughts: It started off well but went on too long and lost some of it's luster. Saya spammed the spear as usual near the end here. Rina had a better showing than usual. I'd still say it was acceptable overall. 

Saya talks on the mic after. 

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show here. Hina/Suzu and Rina/Utami were the big highlights of this one and both were good. I also mostly liked Mei/Itoh and Inaba/Tora. I hated the opener and Koguma/Ami. Hana/Kikyo wasn't too good either. This had 6 bouts I was positive on though and I'd give this a 7 out of 10 as there was a lot of good wrestling to be had here. This was a good show.
