Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling Mayhem 9/30/2026
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/maple-leaf-pro-wrestling-mayhem-9232026.html
Note - They said this is the season finale of Mayhem. There are no upcoming TV listings for MLP Mayhem and I believe they used all of their taped episodes. To put in bluntly - I think the show is on hiatus for a while. I'd assume if it comes back, there won't be new episodes until 2027.
We are in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Don Callis and Mauro Ranallo are our hosts.
Nikki Storm vs. Dani Luna
They lock up and Dani shoves her down. Storm waistlocks her and is thrown down. Storm pokes her and is shoved down. Dani side headlock takeovers her. Dani fireman's carry takeovers her.
Storm wristlocks her and is thrown down. Dani shoulders her over. Storm hits slams on her. Dani sits up top and is pushed down. Storm suplexes her on the floor.
We go to break and return. Dani facekicks her and claymore kicks her. Storm takes her down and goes for a jack knife. Dani powerbombs her for 2. Dani is swept on the apron and trapped in the ring skirt. Storm hits forearms on her. Dani suplexes her on the floor. Dani then germans her inside.
Dani running lariats her for 2. Storm ddt's her for 2. Dani slingshot blue thunders her for 2. Storm is seated up top. Storm top rope crossbodies her. Storm twisting fisherman's nekcbreakers her and pins her.
Thoughts: Both girls are newer so they both had more to lose than gain here. Storm has a title shot coming up so she had to win here. It showed some potential at times but slowed down a lot and was average.
Adam Copeland does a video. He says Steve Maclin made a point with him and said this was about other things until Maclin jumped him. He says it won't work out well for Steve and says he made it personal. He says it changes everything when it's personal and asks if Steve is ready for that. He says he has never faced someone that doesn't quit and has never taken no for an answer. He says we will find out if he's ready for that.
Rudra vs Vaughn Vertigo
VV armdrags him off the lock up. VV euros and cravates him. Rud shoulders him over and enzugiri's him. Rud corner splashes him. VV leg lariats him. VV hits mounted corner punches. VV stomps him. VV PK's him and misses a standing moonsault.
Rud headbutts him. VV top rope swantons Rud's back while he is standing. Rud pump kicks him. Rud ripcord jumping knees him. Rud 2nd rope diving spears him and pins him.
Thoughts: VV got a lot of offense in and Rudra didn't really get enough in here. Rudra did get the win as expected though. Vaughn's top rope swanton to the back is quite the unusual move. Rudra has some decent explosiveness to him.
We get a video on Psycho Mike where the voiceover lady talks about monsters being built and says every bad decision brought us here. She says survival isn't guranteed in Monster's Mayhem and someone is leaving broken.
Subculture (Flash Morgan Webster & Mark Andrews) vs The Natural Classics (Stevie Filip & Tome Filip)
Mark has sweat flicked onto him from Tome (tanned one). Tome takes a shoulder to the gut. Tome is double hiptossed. Flash is flipped onto Tome and Mark standing twisting moonsaults Tome. Steve comes in and is armdragged by Flash.
Stevie takes a corner forearm then a side slam + legdrop combo for 2. Mark takes a corner dropkick then a flying knee + drop on the chest for 2. Tome boots Mark in the corner then Steve takes over. Mark is stomped on.
Mark boots his opponents out of the corner. Flash tags in. Flash top rope swantons both opponents. Flash hits running corner forearms. Flash 2nd rope moonsaults Steve. Flash hits an angel's wings on Steve for 2. 3 of the 4 get sent out and Steve 2nd rope moonsaults his partner on accident. Flash and Mark hit stereo tope con hilos outside. Steve takes a top rope ssp from Mark and gets pinned.
Thoughts: It was fine. Subculture got to show off a bit and The Classics also flew around. They lost as expected. Subculture's push continues here.
We get a video on Josh Alexander vs Stu Grayson. Josh says he was out for months and is hungry to prove he's the best there is. Stu says he's hungry to prove he's that good. Stu says he did the work while Josh was out. Stu says there's one thing that separated them at Northern Rising - the winner gets to reap MLP and Canadian wrestling around the world. He says josh will have to kill him. Josh says the person who wants it more and has more heart will decide it.
Billy Gunn, Neon, Psycho Mike & Sinner And Saint (Judas Icarus & Travis Williams) vs. 1st Faction (Brent Banks & Sheldon Jean), Dan Maff, Jonathan Gresham & Rohan Raja
Jean shoves Judas and is put in a side headock. Jean facekicks him down and corner splashes him. Judas takes a corner splash and a tilt-a-whirl slam for 2. Judas flying forearms Banks. Banks is double hiptossed into the ropes, dropped on his gut and takes a double basement dropkick.
Jean takes punches from Travis then is alriated over the top. Travis and Judas hit stereo dropkicks through the ropes on Jean and Banks.
Neon and JG come in. Neon trips him and does flips and cartwheels. Neon flying headscissors him and chops him down. Neon lets JG chop him but JG hits him low instead. We go to break and return.
Neon is stomped on by his opponents. Maff then gets more stomps in. Raja stomps Neon's leg. Maff chops Neon. Maff and Neon double clothesline each other down. Gunn tags in. Gunn hits punches on the heels.
Gunn corner lariats Raja then Travis handspring lariats Raja. Banks slaps Travis Banks is double teamed and takes a PK and senton. Jean saves Bansk on a suplex. Trav takes a backdrop + sitout powerbomb.
Judas flying lariats Banks. Jean celebrates and Mike shows up behind him. Mike slams him then slams Banks onto him. Neon springboard splashes Banks and Jean together. JG is slammed onto Banks and Jean. Maff throws Mike out and Gunn lariats Maff over the top rope. Raja jumping flatliners Gunn and pins him.
Thoughts: Everyone got their section in and not much else. It didn't get a ton of time. It was an interesting mix of guys on the faces side. This worked well enough. It was alright.
The Grizzled Young Vets come out and attack Sinner and Saint. Mike and Maff fight. Andrade El Idolo comes out. He boots and forearms Raja on the ramp. They trade forearms. Idolo lariats him over the top rope. Security comes out and Idolo tope con hilos them and Raja. Idolo chairs Raja in the ring.
We then get a music video hyping up some of the matches for the Northern Rising PPV.
Overall thoughts: The opener was average. Rudra won a squash but didn't get that much in. Subculture had an alright match with The Natural Classics. The main didn't get a ton of time but it was an interesting mix of guys and it was okay. I don't think it was super effective as a go home show as a lot of the big names didn't wrestle or do new promos but as it's own show, it was acceptable. I'd give it a higher 5 out of 10 overall.
