Truth raps to the ring as usual and tells the crowd to make some noise. He then does his "What's Up?" line.

CA boots Woods in the gut and clubs on him. CA shoulders him over. Woods then hits a dropkick for 1. Woods spinning headscissors him. CA is hit with a double chop then Truth gets a 1 count on him. Truth dances and drops CA with an uppercut.

CA pulls Truth out and sends him into the rails. Woods dropkicks CA through the ropes. Ry lariats Woods then hits a shellshock for the win.

Thoughts: It was acceptable but not much more. They didn't botch anything or have any problems but it just wasn't that great or interesting. The faces could have flown around a bit more and the heels could have shown a bit more personality.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual with various recaps. Titus vs Big E was good. They hit each other hard, they got rough with each other and slammed each other. That was a Superstars hidden gem and well worth a look. The main was just acceptable without too many big highlights. I'd check out Titus vs Big E and skip the other match. It was an okay show mainly for Titus/Big E.

Titus stomps him then leg drops him for 2. Titus sleepers him. Show throws him over then chokeslams him. Show picks up the pin.

Thoughts: It was a slower match and only went about 4 minutes or so. Show won as expected. I liked show busting out the backdrop and his shoulderblocks looked good.

Cody then taps out.

Thoughts: It was an average match and got a little better towards the end. Jack should have worked the ankle a bit more before winning with an ankle lock. I liked Cody flipping out of the backdrop then hitting the disaster kick right after.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches here as usual. The main was the better match but neither was great. The opener was a little show at times. I wouldn't really recommend this one and thought it was average, but there's worse ways to spend 15 minutes.

Thoughts: It was a decent bout here. Titus got his offense in early and stiffed Kofi some. Kofi then got his offense in and was able to pick up the win. Not a great, but it was a perfectly fine bout for this type of show.

Jerry Lawler interviews Kofi Kingston ever. Kofi says it feels great to win. He says WWE stars are the best athletes on the planet. He says anytime you can beat Titus, you take it. Lawler asks how it feels to put Rusev in his mirror. Kofi says he doesn't want to talk about Rusev. He asks if anyone will cook him a Southern style meal as he's hungry. He says he wants to go celebrate.

Drew has 3MB and Hornswoggle with him. Sin has Los Matadore's and El Torito with him.

Sin rolls him up for 2 and tries another pin attempt. Drew backs off. Drew side headlocks him then shoulders him over. Sin backrolls, gets caught and armdrags Drew off of it. Sin monkey flips Drew then armdrags him into an armlock.

Torito then comes out with Hornswoggle's pants. Horn comes out without pants on and he is in his underwear. Horn is embarrassed, he runs and he trips. Los Matadores laugh. Sin enzugiri's Drew and top rope swantons him. Sin then pins Drew to win.

Thoughts: Well that was something. I didn't see that match coming. It was a bit goofy but it's Superstars and it doesn't matter. The shenanigans under the ring did take away from the match though and it did hurt what was a good looking match.

Torito puts on Hornswoggle's pants after and dances.

Overall thoughts: We had 2 new matches, 1 new interview and various hype packages and recaps. The show was okay and totally digestible. The opener was fine. The main was looking good but there was a bunch of shenanigans with people going under the ring and Hornswoggle losing his pants which took away from it. The new content was fun and this wasn't a bad watch.

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/wwe-superstars-5152014.html 

Byron Saxton and Tom Phillips are on commentary.

Drew clubs on Jimmy. Jin gets in and is chopped by Jimmy. Jin takes a double back elbow and a double elbow drop. Drew is double clotheslined over the top. The Uso's tease dives but the heels move.

Jey superkicks Drew then Jimmy top rope splashes Drew to win.

Thoughts: It was tough to follow as Tom couldn't keep track of which Uso was which. It was your usual Superstars level match with these two teams. It was fine but nothing that great or memorable.

Paige vs Alicia Fox

They lock up and Paige kicks her in the chest. Fox is thrown by the hair. Paige stomps her in the corner for 2. Paige totally misses a headbutt that Fox sells anyway. Paige hits knees to the gut.

Fox knees her in the gut then slams her. Paige rolls her up for 2. Paige low dropkicks her. She does a very low headscissors and somehow ends up on Fox with it.

Paige hits short arm lariats. Fox back elbows her. Paige is swept on the bottom rope. Paige then submits Fox with the queen angelito stretch.

Thoughts: It was short and not good. They missed on a bunch of stuff, Fox took bumps when she didn't even have anything done to her and the low headscissors into a press was an interesting botch. Fox always had some of the most creative and athletic botches and we got some of those here.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches here as usual. The men's tag match was acceptably but Tom Phillips kept messing up the names of The Uso's and threw me off. The women's match had a bunch of sloppy moments and botches and wasn't good. I wouldn't recommend this one and thought it was a little below average for Superstars.

DS gets his knees up on Sin's top rope swanton. DS hits a half-nelson slam and wins.

Thoughts: It went a bit long and was only so-so. This is not the original Sin Cara but the second. He has a real lack of charisma, fire and doesn't play the face that well at all. 

Tamina vs Natalya

Nat side headlocks her. Tam kicks her in the leg. Nat rolls into a pin on her for 1. Tam blocks Nat's crucifix then Tam misses a butt drop. They trade forearms. Tam samoan drops her off a missed spinning lariat. Tam chokes her on the ropes.

Thoughts: It wasn't good. They piped in fake crowd noise and I think Tamina just wore her street clothes here. There was no build to the finish at all and it just wasn't that pretty of a match.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 matches her as usual along with various recaps. Neither match was that good and I would not recommend this.

DS goes for a slam and E headbusters him for 2. DS flipping neckbreakers him from the side for 2. DS pounds and boots him in the corner. E lariats him then hits a big ending to win.

Thoughts: It was oddly a mostly one sided bout with DS getting all the offense in. I have no idea why. DS' offense was fine but the heel being on offense the whole time was not super exciting. E is the current IC champ and picked up the win because of it. E also busted his nose open here.

Jerry Lawler interviews Big E on the stage after. Lawler asks him about the ongoing IC Title #1 Contender's Tournament. He says people are lining up around the block to face him. He says he wants the best of the best and says he needs to beat the best to be the best. He says he will walk in and out of Extreme Rules as IC champ.

Titus backs him up in the corner and piefaces him. Kofi hits kicks to the legs. Kofi dropkicks him. Titus blocks his monkey flip and hits a big boot to the face. Kofi is thrown hard into the corner and goes down. Titus stomps on him. Titus arm and chinlocks him.

Kofi jawbreakers him and is thrown down. Titus hits mounted punches then a short arm clothesline. Kofi chops him in the corner then Titus hits his own chop. Titus backbreakers him, swings him down and leg drops the back of his neck for 2. 

Titus throws him down backwards then misses a legdrop. Titus is thrown out. Titus comes in and Kofi dropkicks him. Kofi hits kicks to the body and kicks him in the corner. Kofi springboard crossbodies him for 2. Titus ducks a PK and slams Kofi. Titus goes for a fallaway slam but is rolled up for 2. Kofi hits a trouble in paradise corkscrew kick and wins.

Thoughts: Titus was pretty rough with Kofi here and definitely made him earn that win. I thought Kofi did a decent job of making this look like a fight and he sold well for Titus. This just was just only acceptable though as the structure and flow wasn't quite there.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual along the various recaps and replays. Sandow/Big E was mostly dominated by Sandow and E didn't really get a great comeback in before winning. I thought Titus/Kofi did a good job of making it look like a fight but the structure and flow wasn't there. This was just so-so overall and I wouldn't recommend it.

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.

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.

Nat is pushed into the ropes. Tam misses a superkick and is rolled up for 2. Tam then superkicks her and pins her.

Thoughts: It wasn't exciting or too much of note. They had trouble getting any momentum going here and the trips to the outside didn't really help with that. 

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) & Los Matadores (Diego and Fernando) vs 3MB (Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal and Heath Slater) & Curt Hawkins

Heath and Jey start us off. Heath shoulders him over. Jey dances then drops him with an uppercut. Jey slams him then a Matador slingshot elbow drops Heath. Heath runs into a dropkick. Heath is sent out then tripped into the 2nd rope. Heath's buddies pull him out.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual. The women's match wasn't anything special. The men didn't get a lot of time with it but did good with what they got. There's nothing you need to see here though and I wouldn't recommend this one.

Thoughts: It was a quick one with a fast pace. They did okay with it and fit their stuff in well here. It didn't have the time to be anything too great.

Thoughts: It was a fast paced bout here and got a lot of time. It was fine and totally okay for this type of show. I liked the face's finisher here.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual here. Both were fine but neither were must see. I wouldn't recommend it, but it's not like it was bad. I'd argue Woods/Clay was the better match on this.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 matches here along with various recaps. Ryback/Dolph was solid with Ry really going all out. Titus/Kofi seemed to end abruptly due to a Kofi injury and wasn't much of a note. Ryback/Dolph was about as good as you are going to see on this show and was a neat little watch. It maybe could be worth a look out of curiosity.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual here. The women didn't get much time for their match. The men got more time and it was acceptable but nothing you need to see. I wouldn't recommend this one.

Thoughts: It was your usual Superstars match. Nothing too memorable or must see but totally fine for what it was and satisfying enough. This also got plenty of time to play out.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches and a quick interview here along with various recaps.  Both matches were fine and I'd argue the women's match was actually better than the main. They just had a good flow and ended it at the right time. You don't need to see this one but it was a quick and decent watch as it usually is.

Jerry Lawler interviews Los Matadores on the stage. Fern says they were getting ready and said Lawler and Torito are alike. He says it's because Torito is horny. Lawler said he thought he'd be interviewing the heels but they pulled off an upset. Diego says they love to be the underdogs and show everyone that they are the greatest team. Diego says they beat Rybaxel today and next time they are interviewed, they might be the tag champs.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches usual along with a Lawler interview and various recaps. Neither match was anything too great. The tag match was easily the better match. I wouldn't recommend this one.

The women's trios match was something different but I liked it. They kept it short and there weren't any bad botches. As always, there's nothing you have to see here but what we got was fine.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual along with some recaps. I liked both matches here. Tamina was effective as a big and bad heel vs Natalya and Natalya did fine as the underdog. Drew/Big E was solid TV work. Big E hit some great looking corner spears and Drew sped things up a bit more than usual and did his part. There's nothing must see here, but you can get through the new content pretty quick and I enjoyed this one.

Drew takes an enzugiri from Cara then Cara top rope swantons him for the win.

Thoughts: It didn't really get enough time and wasn't anything too special. The Matadores got very little offense in here and we didn't see Cara until the finishing stretch. This should have been better than it was.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual along with a bunch of recaps. Neither match was that good with the women's match being bad and the men's match was nowhere near what it should have been. I would not recommend this one.
