Axel Cruz and Abel Durant are our hosts. They welcome us to the show and talk.

Xavant vs Lightning

We join this in progress. Orlando Toledo is with Lightning. Light chokes Xavant with a chain. Light suplexes him for 2. Light chinlocks him. Xavant fights out and is pulled down backwards. Light chokes Xavant with the chain again. Light chokes Xavant on the bottom rope. Toledo cheap shots Xavant then Light foot chokes Xavant. Light chinlocks him. Light clubs his back.

Toledo distracts the ref. Xavant low blows Light then punches him with the chain. Xavant back body drops him then hits running lariats. Xavant flying lariats him down for 2. Light powerslams Xavant. 

Light misses a corner charge and Xavant AA's him with a press. Toledo pulls Xavant's foot on he pin attempt. Xavant nails Toledo outside. Xavant and Lightning trade shots outside and they go to a double DQ. They fight to the back and Orlando gets hit again.

Thoughts: It was a simple one with the heels cheating, Xavant getting tired of it and eventually cheating in return. It then went to a double DQ. Xavant wasn't bad here but it was about average.

El Hostil Jovan does a promo. He says he needs the fans' support vs El Informante as he always gets away with cheating. 

Kamil does a promo. She brings up Natalia Markova being the NWA Women's champ. She says things changed since Nat was here. She says Nat may be the NWA champ but the WWC Title stays with her.

Orlando Toledo and Lightning do a promo. Toledo says Lightning is the real ghost (referring to El Payaso Makabro) and says he's ready.

El Paayso Makabro does a promo. He says he's meeting Lightning for the first time and he was part of the best tag team that ever existed. Makabro says he has the skill to reach the top. He says there's no gambling in their match and he will fight until the last drop of blood.

Ray hits mounted corner punches then forearms Eddie. Ray stomps Eddie in the corner.

Vito grabs Ray on the ropes and Eddie flying knees Eddie on accident. Ray hits leg kicks on Eddie. Eddie backcrackers Ray and pins him.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see Eddie clean and so were the announcers. We only saw a little of this and the work in it was pretty basic and that's not surprising considering the age of the wrestlers.

He says WWC takes the best wrestler in the world and one of the biggest stars and puts them together as a team. He says that sounds like nonsense and says it's dangerous for you. He says what do you think will happen when he and Sole team up. He says there will be too much coolness and elegance. He says PR wants to be like them but never will . He says he's not interesting in Jc Jexx. He says he will break his back because he feels like it. He says Diego Luna knows him well and says he has no friends in the ring. He say this is going to get interesting for his team and WWC.

Amaddeo Sole do a promo. Solo calls his team with Leyenda the new dawn. He says Luna and Jexx are not great like them

Los Immortales do a promo. They say they have a problem in Pelayo Vasquez. They say Pelayo cost them the tag titles. They say they have the golden opportunity when Orlando Toledo is the ref. They say corruption won't help the champs and they say we will see new tag champs. They say the truth is absolute.

Los Matadores Celestiales (Mike Nice and Oscar Benabe) do a promo. Mike says things are getting spicy at the next show. Mike says they will go fight. Oscar then says they are a made team.

WWC Universal Title - Intelecto Cinco Estrellas (c) vs John Hawking

We get to see this from the beginning. Cinco goes after John as he enters. John hits punches on him outside. Cinco's head is banged off Orlando Toledo's head by John. Cinco begs off the in the ring.

Joe Bravo does a promo. Joe says he's going for the Puerto Rican title. He says he will give the belt the shine it deserves when he wins it. He puts himself over and says John and Xavant is facing someone who is ready for any match all year round. He says he will do the best he can do, fair or foul.

John Hawking does a promo. John says he never fought Xavant and this will be their first battle. He says Xavant will find out who he really is.

Xavant does a promo. Xavant thanks the city of Humacao. he says they can say the champ has arrived in the three way when he wins. He says he has nothing against Bravo and Hawking. He says he will take the Puerto Rican Title where he has to take it. He says he will fight until he triumphs and says to buy a ringside ticket as the matches will be good.

Wilfredo Rivera does a promo. He says he's facing Bryan Idol and says he's one of the best foreign fighters to come to the island. He says Idol is coming here to fight, not to have a vacation. He says Idol will face an inspired and focused Rivera who beat him once. He says he has more to gain than Idol and says Idol should have learned from their first match that he's not an easy opponent. He says the fans won't let an arrogant foreigner like Idol take the title.

We rejoin the match. They trade shots. John crossbodies him for 2. Cinco shoulders him over. Cinco headbutts him down then seems to choke him with something. Cinco chinlocks him. John ddt's him. 

John hits punches on Cinco then lariats him twice. John corner splashes him twice. John hits a bad spear for 2. Cinco hits a half nelson slam for 2. John hits a bad full nelson slam for 2. Cinco is handed a weapon by Toledo. Cinco knees John in the gut then green mists him and pins him.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. John was going very easy on various moves and they really just stuck to the basics here...which didn't look good. This was certainly not what this big match called for.

Intelecto Cinco Estrellas does a promo. He says La Amenaza Bryan went through the wrong door when he crossed his path. He says those who survive here aren't the loudmouths but the ones who think. He says Bryan is not a threat but a solved problem. 

La Amenaza Bryan does a promo. He says let's see who is best between him and Estrellas. He says the fans have been asking for it for years. He says Estrellas was made without balls while he has plenty. He says Estrellas hides behind a mask while he goes head on. He calls him a clown and an idiot and he tells him to give the fight of his life. He says he came to beat and humiliate him. He says he will prove he's the best.

Ray Gonazalez does a promo. He says El Paparazzi hurt his ankle and he's getting checked up so he can be in his corner. He says he and Paparazzi made a splash back then and will make another now. He says they aren't strangers. Ray says they will checkmate The Colon's at Furia Extrema.

Axel and Abel close the show. 

Overall thoughts: It was the usual WWC show with some clips of recent matches and lots of shilling for the next show. None of the wrestling was anything too special but having Bryan and Bravo around makes things feel more important than usual. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 as it was the usual average WWC show and nothing you really need to see. 

WWE NXT 5/5/2026

WWE NXT 5/5/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/wwe-nxt-4282026.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wwe-nxt-5122026.html 

Vic Joseph and Booker T are on commentary. We are the Performance Center in Orlando, FL.

Tony D'Angelo says these guys don't want to wait and he doesn't either. I think he spears Tavion Heights over a table before it gets broken up.

Jaida Parker vs Kali Armstrong

They shove each other. KA grabs her by the chin then JP waistlock takedowns her. KA goes for an armdrag but JP rolls through it with a side headlock. KA side headlocks her. KA misses an elbow drop. JP sliding headlocks her. 

JP shoulders her over then suplexes her for 2. JP lariats her over the top to the floor. KA rams her back into the apron edge. JP kicks her over the ropes then they double lariat each other. We go to PiP break and return.

KA does push up's. JP boots her out of the corner. KA pulls JP's throat down over the top rope. KA springboard crossbodies her. KA punches her down and hits knee drops. KA boots her in the gut in the corner. 

JP sweeps her then back body drops her twice. KA lays on the 2nd rope and JP step up butt drops her down. KA eye rakes her then powerslams her. KA flying shoulders her and picks up the win.

Thoughts: It was fine. I was a bit surprised to see Kali win. These two are similar wrestlers so this was always going to work to some degree. 

Robert Stone and Tony D'Angelo argue in the back. Tony says he's a hunter and says he wants Tavion Heights tonight. Stone agrees.

The Birthright talk in the back. Fit Finlay comes in. Fit says they are supposed to be upholding tradition and not being beaten by gamers. Fit shows them William Regal on the phone. Regal says last week was a disappointing. He says he sent Dempsey back to training. He says they have a 6-man next week and need to take care of business. 

Evil does a video. He says he made his name at home and beat many great wrestlers and won titles. He says the soul of a warrior is never satisfied. He says this is his moment to strike. He says Tony D'Angelo is at the top of NXT with the title. He says he wants the title. He says he didn't give him a gift, he gave him a proclamation. He says they will do battle someday for the NXT Title and it's written in the rising sun. They say Naraku debuts next week. 

Thoughts: The IWC was complaining about Evil's name possibly being Knox Raijin. It looks like it was all for nothing. 

Jasper Troy vs Jackson Drake

JT throws him in the corners then hits corner spears. JT shoulders him over. JD hits leg kicks then he enzugiri's him. JD take a running bodyblock. JD top rope diving meteora's him. We go to PiP break and return.

JD comes off the top and is caught with a chokeslam. JT sentons him. JT beats up Vanity Project outside. He tries to throw Brad over the top but can't. Bayley Humphrey (I think they called her Myka Lockwood) then comes out and slams JT on the floor. JD top rope 450's JT and pins him.

Thoughts: The match was a shorter bout but it was alright. I popped up for Troy doing a kip up. We haven't had any women on male violence for a while so we did it here. This went as it should with Drake being thrown around.

We get a video on Tristan Angels. He says the winds of change flew threw NXT and emerged him. He says he's here to bring class to the brand. He says he knew there was gold running through his veins and he was destined for so much more. He says his name is synonymous with overacheivement. He says he can sheer a sheep in a minute and kick a wrestlers @ss in even less. He says he has a sixth sense for accomplishments and says Myles Borne doesn't even have 5. He insults Cam Hendrix, Shiloh Hill and Hank and Tank. He says he's the star NXT been yearning for and is here. 

We get a profile video on Rhea Ripley.

Zaria comes out and says NXT feels different. She says there's a change in the air and it could be anyone's game. She says she's standing in the women's division with no one holding her back. She says things are how they always needed to be with her alone. She says some people think the NXT Women's North American Title destroyed her but she says it woke her up. 

Tatum Paxley comes out. She says the title fractured the Sol/Zaria relationship but had nothing to do with her. She says Zaria is trying to figure out who she is and says it's hard. She says she ended friendships too and put someone in a casket for the title. She says it won't end with her.

Izzy Rain comes out. She says NXT feels different and she's the new blood in the locker room. She says they should add heavy metal to the title. 

Nikkita Lyons comes out. She credits herself for Izzy being talked about. She says she hears the new flavor of the month shooting over her head. She says the new car smell is wearing off. Lyons says she's not done with Izzy and goes to hit her. The girls all fight and Zar F-5's her. 

The Vanity Project talk to Romeo Moreno. They aren't impressed by him. Smokes says Romeo is the guy who likes to paint. Noam Dar comes in. Drake says Dar was a huge deal 10 years ago. Dar says he's back and it's time to shake off his hiatus. He says Drake is the perfect opponent for target practice next week. Bayley Humphrey/Mikah comes in and says she's with them. Romeo tells Dar he loves his work and he's excited to see him back. 

Kam Hendrix attacks Tony D in the bang as he heads to the ring. Officials break it up. 

Robert Stone borrows someone's headset in the back. He says Tony D vs Tavion is off and Kam is kicked out of the building. He says the mixed tag is happening next. 

Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana vs The Culling (Niko Vance and Izzi Dame)

Ig is thrown by Niko. Niko shoulders him over. Ig gets on his back with a sleeper and cobra twist. Ig armdrags him and hits him with his toy. Ig crossbodies him. Izzi boots Ig from behind. Lola comes in, spin kicks Izzi then hits punches and kicks on her in the corner. Izzi lariats her.

Izzi and Lola get in. Lola hits spin kicks on Izzi then Niko. Ig and Lola then do stereo hip attacks for 2 counts. Lola spinning roundhouse kicks Izzi and Niko stops the ref from counting the 3. Izzi running euros Lola or 2. 

Lola armbars Izzi. Ig triangles Niko. Niko and Ig go over the top and Ig is slammed on the floor. Izzi rolls up Lola for 2. Izzi flying knees Lola and pins her.

Thoughts: It had the usual issues with the women being allowed to attack the men and the men being too dumb to do anything about it. Niko showed off some new offense with spinning headbutts. He also slammed Ig pretty good on the floor. I'm sure the heels will get a title shot off of this. I didn't like this all that much.

Myles Borne and Tavion Heights do a promo. Tav is upset. Borne says Tav has more time to prepare since the match is cancelled. Stone says Tony still wants the match if Tav does and Tav does.

Zaria complains to Stone in the back. Stone sets up a tag match with Zar and Lyons vs Rain and Tatum next week. Zar says she's done with tag matches.  

Jaida Parker throws a fit in the back yelling that she's over it and can't do a thing right. Natalya comes in and says what they are saying about JP has come true - she's gotten soft.

Hank and Tank (Hank Walker and Tank Ledger) vs Darkstate (Cutler James and Osiris Griffin)

He hits offense on CJ and suplexes him. Hank standing sentons CJ then lariats OG over the top. Hank pounces OG on the commentary table. Hank flying back elbows CJ. CJ takes a double spear. 

CJ swinging backbreakers Tank. OG wastelands Tank then vader bombs him for 2. Tank takes a big ending + ddt combo for 2. Tank and CJ trade shots. Hank lariats CJ over the top. CJ backdrops Hank on the apron. Tank's tope is caught outside and he is slammed onto Tank. Hank takes a double team spinning whirlybird bomb and is pinned.

Thoughts: Darkstate's finisher was cool here. It wasn't great but it worked out just fine. Cutler's finally finding his role as the power guy after a few years of not really impressing. They heavily pushed the Dion/Shugars issues during this.

Kelani Jordan mocks Lola Vice in the back and says she should worry about her. Kendal Gray comes in. She says Kelani hurt her friend and now she's her #1 priority.  

We cut to the announcers, who are having tech issues, then cut away.

Emily Agard, the new NXT correspondent, says she's trying to get to know Keanu Carver better. She goes up to him in some ghetto area. Keanu says he doesn't want to talk in front of the camera's. They put the camera down but it is still filming. Emily ask what motivates him. He says it's money. He says he's here to get paid and has a family to feed. He says he told Shawn Michaels to give a chance or cut him or he's out. Keanu says if wrestling doesn't work, he needs to find something that will. He says he's the same person he has always been and will always be. 

Keanu says he knows they are filming up. Keanu is asked about how he knew of the symbol of war. He says he went to college and says he doesn't brag about it. He says the thing they don't know is that he's smart.

Tony D'Angelo vs Tavion Heights

Tav waistlocks him and takes him down. TD then does the same. Tav fireman's carry throws him. TD belly to belly suplexes him. TD running lariats him. TD flips over Tav's back and does like a cutter. Tav hits forearms then knees him in the gut. Tav karelin's lifts him. Tav is on the buckles and TD pushes him down to the floor.

We go to PiP break and return. Tony breaks out of a facelock. Tav flips him backwards on a side slam while using the ropes. Tav flying lariats him for 2. Tav top rope splashes him for 2. They trade shots. TD germans him three times. TD runs into a Tav knee. Tav overhead belly to belly suplexes him. Tav capture suplexes him for 2.

Thoughts: It was alright and something different. Tav did a weird slingshot side slam where he flipped Tony backwards. He also did a capture suplex which was kind of like a slam. Borne and Kam then ran down as well.

Tony and Tav hug. Will Kroos corner splashes both then rolls TD into Tav. He says his name is Mason Rook and he has arrived in NXT.

Overall thoughts: It was an okay show here with some different matches than usual that worked out. New blood is on the rise and those people were a major part of this. I liked the men's tag match best here. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall and I liked it.

EB chinlocks her. Rose lariats and back elbows her. EB twisting double underhook drops her and pins her.

Thoughts: It was short and nothing special. They did little but the basics here and this was just filler.

Orion jawbreakers him then boots him in the head. Orion hits a a lariat and a spin kick. Orion flatliners him then springboard forearms him for 2. John slingshot spears him and wins.

Thoughts: It was another short one. Orion has a bunch of weird looking offense and it doesn't really work. This wasn't that good.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches and a new interview segment as usual along with various highlights and recaps. Both matches were squashes and neither were that good. I wouldn't recommend this.

MD is up top and Lee top rope release germans him. Oro hits punches on both opponents. Oro takes a high kick + spinning forearm from The American's. AA corner dropkicks Oro then Lee M. Bison stomps Oro. AA brainbusters Oro and pins him.

Thoughts: It was acceptable but not quite as good as I had hoped. MD didn't do a ton of flying here and I wouldn't say anyone really did their best stuff here.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good and was levels down from Friday's cibernetico. There were a lot of communication issues and Diego Hill had another one of his bad nights. The big guys and the smaller guys weren't working well together. It was below average and it just didn't click that well. It still was something different and nice to see, but it didn't work.

Esfinge is given a plate for winning after.

Overall thoughts: The opener and the second match both went well. Okumura/Stigma was fine. Xelhua/Kushida had a good thing going early and lost it in their match. Aries' match was acceptable. The cibernetico was below average. There were a lot of communication issues, Hill had a bad night and the big and small guys struggled to work together. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as the majority of the matches were good and if nothing else, it was nice to see some different names. It was just okay overall.

WWE Monday Night Raw 5/4/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/wwe-monday-night-raw-4272026.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wwe-monday-night-raw-5112026.html 

Note - The New Day are gone from WWE. It's been a long and good run from them. I figured Kofi would be there for life. They had been losing some steam though and were on the back end of their run. WWE is running low on midcard acts and I don't think they will be as easy to replace as WWE thinks. The New Day could just be thrown into anything and still get reactions and have good matches.

We are in Omaha, NE. Corey Graves and Michael Cole are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive and hangout. El Grande Americano now has The Creed's wearing masks and has given them new names.

Roman Reigns arrives and Adam Pearce immediately goes up top him. They argue into gorilla position. Adam tells Roman that Fatu is not here. Seth Rollins then stares down Roman and says he's in his way.

Seth Rollins comes out and Bron Breakker attacks Seth. Bron hits mounted shots on him on the floor. Bron gorilla press drops him on the rail. Officials come to break it up. Bron throws the guards into the rail and sends Seth into the steps.  

Bron then spears Seth hard in the ring. 

The Judgment Day talk in their hangout. Liv says Vaquer is injured and asks Perez why Finn Balor was in their clubhouse. Liv says JD will take care of Finn tonight. Liv asks why Finn thinks its okay to talk to Perez. Liv asks Perez why she didn't tell her about her. Perez says she should have something but Liv knows she's loyal to them. Liv says Perez and Raquel are the next tag champs. Liv makes Perez promise not to keep any more secrets from the family.

JD trips him into a legdrop for 2. JD kicks Finn in the leg then knee drops the back of his leg. JD elbow drops Finn's leg. Finn basement dropkicks him then lariats him over the top. Dominik Mysterio trips Finn then JD knocks Finn out of the ring from behind. Roxanne Perez comes out.

We go to break and return. JD hits shots on Finn. Liv and Raquel come out. Finn elbow slices JD. Finn hits punches on JD. JD botches a back body drop then Finn stomps him. Finn slingblades him. Dom gets on the apron and is lariated. JD standing spanish flies Finn for 2. Finn goes up top and Dom crotches him up top. The ref sees it and ejects Dom. JD top rope moonsaults and Finn gets his knees up. Finn slingblades him. Liv get on the apron and throws Perez a hammer. 

Finn john woo's JD. Perez hits Finn with the hammer. JD headbutts Finn and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a big win for JD even with the cheating. This was mostly shenanigans here and the interference got a little silly. It wasn't Finn and JD's best night. They pushed the new tension between Liv and Perez here.

Jackie Redmond interview Seth, who is hunched over. Seth says he will be fine for Backlash. He says he told Bron that if you take chances, you better be able to finish the job. Seth says he's not dead yet. 

The Vision talk in the back. Bron goofs around with Theory and Logan and Heyman asks if Seth if still breathing. Logan says he will hospitalize Joe Hendry if he gets his hands on him. Heyman says Logan isn't fighting Joe tonight as he will beat him to death and says Theory will fight him instead. Theory tells Logan just to watch. Bron says they will get them all one by one.

Rusev rams Evans into the corner and hits corner spears. Rusev hits punches. Evans boots him out of the corner and hits punches. Rusev back elbows him. Evans is held for a Page punch to the gut. Evans chops Page. Evans suplexes Page then kips up (Terrale Tempo's viralplex).

Penta superkicks Page out. Page pulls Penta out. Rusev uranage's Penta on the commentary table. Page fisherman suplexes Penta and pins him.

Thoughts: It was an okay tag match here with the faces doing the flying and the heels squeaking one out.

Rusev pushes Page in delight and Page hugs him. 

Adam Pearce is in the ring. He says his favorite days are when he got a young wrestler signed to the brand. He says today is one of those days and we see a Sol Ruca video. Sol Ruca comes out with a new theme. Sol says it'll feel good to be officially part of Raw.

Becky Lynch comes out and interrupts. Becky says she was told this is her celebration time. Becky says Adam illegally scheduled a match for her after Mania. Sol asks if she's done. Becky says she's not. Sol says not everything is about her. Sol says she didn't expect to find out that Becky is everything people say she is - a rude, bigheaded b!tch. Becky asks Adam if he will let her talk to her like this. 

Becky asks who she is. Sol says her name and says she will kick her @ss and smash her soul if she interrupts her again. Becky goes to hit Sol but nails Adam on accident. Adam gets upset. Sol hits a botched sol snatcher on Becky.

The Uso's are interviewed. Jey says it's a big night with a contract signing. Jey says they wouldn't miss this for nothing. Jey says Fatu needs to understand how business is done. Jimmy says this is family business. Jimmy says Fatu is in deep water and is swinging for the fences. He says Fatu will see who he's messing with at Backlash. 

We return from break and Joe sings about firing Logan Paul. Logan comes out with Theory and says he can't be fired. He says he's the heart and soul of the WWE. Joe says he's glad he's here as he is going to the apology part of the song

Joe Hendry vs Austin Theory

Austin runs in and attacks Joe. Joe lariats him over the top with the mic stand still in the ring. Austin hits punches on Joe then bangs his face off the mat. Austin backbreakers him. Joe is sent hard into the buckles and goes down. Austin hits mounted shots on him. Austin suplexes Joe.

Joe suplexes Austin. Joe hits punches on Austin. Joe spinning lariats him then corner lariats him. Joe catches his crossbody and fallaway slams him. Logan nails Joe from behind for the DQ.

Thoughts: It was mostly Joe hitting his moves here before the DQ. Joe hasn't been on the main roster long but he's already over and his stock is going up fast.

Logan pounds on Joe. Joe fires back. Logan splashes Joe and hits mounted shots. The Street Profits make the save and clear out Austin and Logan.

Raquel says Brie's and Paige's nostalgia tour is over. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria come in. Bay complains about them cheating. Lyra challenges them. Liv says family's help each other win and they should try that.

Oba Femi comes out and says The Oba Femi Open Challenge will now begin. Alpha Academy come out. Akira goes up to Oba, backs off and tells Otis to get in.

Oba Femi vs Otis

They lock up. Oba shoves him and they shoulder battle. They shove each other and Oba hits a hard flying euro. Oba throws him on a backdrop. Oba puts him on the 2nd rope and sitout powerbombs him. Oba pins him.

Thoughts: It was sadly a short squash but it did what it was supposed to. Oba hit a very hard flying euro and him throwing Otis on the backdrop was impressive.

Seth Rollins is limping in the back. He runs into The Street Profits and Joe Hendry. Ford and Seth argue. Ford says nobody trusts him. Seth says he doesn't trust himself and says they are in the same fight. Seth says if he stays out of his way, he'll stay out of their way.

We see a taped segment with Adam Pearce hosting a taped segment with Iyo Sky and Asuka. Iyo says Asuka is what she says she is and is her mentor. She says she looks up to her and loved her. She says she still respects her. She says she never wanted it to come to this. She says Asuka has changed. Asuka says nothing changed. Iyo says the Asuka she looked up to isn't here. Iyo says she has to fight her. Asuka says she's disrespectful and says the Iyo she taught isn't here anymore. She asks who she is. She says Iyo is her biggest disappointment and she's done with her. She says she's cutting her out of her life for good. Iyo says she's ready for Asuka. They go face to face and Asuka blue mists her. Adam Pearce yells for a doctor.

The announcers talk about the Grande vs Grande mask vs mask match contracting signing from AAA this week. The Creed's sent El Grande Americano II through a table.

Jackie interviews El Grande Americano and Los Americanos Hermanos (The Creed's). Grande says the no contact rule only applies in Mexico so all bets are off here. Grande says they helped him out in inspiration of Chad Gable, who he says is out on injury. He says there will only be El Grande Americano left and it's him. Los Hermanos are now Julio and Bruto Credo.

El Grande Americano Original and Los Americanos Hermanos (Bruto and Julio Credo) vs El Grande Americano II and Los Americanos (Rayo and Bravo)

The Grande's bang heads in the air and Bravo top rope splashes Grande OG for 2.

Julio apron powerbombs Rayo. Grande OG hits a chaos theory on Bravo. Grande OG top rope diving headbutts Bravo and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a wild one as expected. It was entertaining with a lot of people in masks flying around. 

We have the contract signing for Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu. Adam Pearce is in the ring. Roman and Fatu come out. The crowd acknowledges Roman and says it's the sound of respect. He says Fatu grinded for 12 years and but Roman says he's been here for over 12 years. He says he brought Solo in, so he brought Fatu in as well. Roman says there needs to be a system and a code of respect.

Roman says Fatu disrespected him with a move he saved for desperate measures. He says you pull out the Tongan death grip when you are surrounded 8 to 1 in a bar, not to your family and your tribal chief. Fatu says he is desperate and has no other choice but to take him out, take the title and everything that comes with it. He says he will squeeze the company out of every cent like the company did to his family. He says all gas and no breaks means never going back to where they came from. Fatu says he's desperate to do anything for his household.

Roman says he's been grinding for multiple house holds and is worried about 170 kids and generation after generation of his family. Roman says this is his ring. He says they are equals but in the ring, Fatu is beneath him. Fatu goes for the Tongan death grip. Roman throws him into the corner and throws a desk chair at his head. Fatu then goes for the death grip again.

Roman hits mounted corner punches and Fatu goes for the grip again and again. Adam Pearce tries to break it up. Roman is chokeslammed onto the table. Officials come down to break it up and Fatu spikes the contract.

Thoughts: It was a good segment. They went at it hard and it looked good. I like them putting over the Tongan death grip and referencing Haku's bar fights.

Overall thoughts: It was a good Raw. We had some nice segments with the big Vision vs Hendry/Profits/Seth fight. The contract signing fight was good. Evans' tag was fine. I liked Oba/Otis and The Creed's now wearing masks is campy fun. I thought they did a good job of setting up the PPV and they stepped up after getting slammed all week long by the IWC (anger about last week's firings and rumors of an unknown wrestler being forced to take a paycut). I'd give this a 7 out of 10 and I enjoyed this.

Thoughts: It was half-young lions match and half-comedy. The young lions were better than the comedy. It didn't get enough time to be anything too good and the comedy brought it down. Nagai's top rope diving headbutt was nice.

Nagai promises to win the A-Block in BOSJ after.

Thoughts: It didn't get a ton of time but I liked what we got. Shota was on fire here and Honma did his usual headbutts while the heels hit shots. I would have been cool with this going longer. Honma losing was a bit predictable.

Ice taunts Shota after.

Thoughts: It wasn't much. Everyone got their segment in and not much else. We thankfully didn't get too much HoT shenanigans here. Wolf got most of the shine here and it was very average.

Tiger thanks everyone after and says he will wrestle in this area for Kyushu Pro.

Thoughts: The pace could have been a bit better here as it slowed down in the 2nd half and lost some of its quality with it. It wasn't bad though and Oiwa/Yuya had some encouraging segments.

Drilla and Jake stare down after.

Thoughts: This would have been a Korakuen level main event a few years ago and is now a semi-main on a bigger show. The match was fine but not great. The pace just really slowed down in the second half and the crowd wasn't there. I liked the hidden blade + double powerbomb finish and I thought it was nice of Will to do this match when he really didn't have to. Will's team winning wasn't too shocking but I don't think we're seeing him until the next big show, so those titles won't be defended for a bit.

United Empire talks on the mic after. Khan says they are coming for the tag titles next. The Knockout Brothers come out. Ice hypes up the match and says he wants to fight the strongest, make money and get high. Ice says you don't have to think, you just have to feel.

Shingo put out a good effort and was hitting cutters and poisonrana's. It was acceptable to okay but not great.

Overall thoughts: House of Torture's matches were garbage as usual. I wanted to see more of Shota Umino's match but I liked what we got. Yuya and Oiwa's match wasn't as good as I hoped but it was still alright. Yota's 8-man tag was too short. I thought Mistico's match was the best match on the show and thought the semi-main was the second best. They tried for a great bout in the main and didn't fully get there. The main was just acceptable to okay. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as the top matches mostly delivered but with a bit more luck it could have been higher. It was a much better show than the night before and was good overall.

The main event was your usual cibernetico but it went well. Both team were able to work together and they told a nice story by the end with MD surviving the 2v1 to win. I'd give it a 7 out of 10 as the main event delivered, the women did a good job and the only match that wasn't that great was due to it having an angle attached. It was a good show.
