Thoughts: I didn't like Anne no selling germans her in what was a pre-show match. That is not something you do this low on the card. It was average and just didn't get super exciting. This had a lot of armdrags and crabs.

Main show:

Koguma & Maika vs. God's Eye (Kiyoka Kotatsu & Ranna Yagami) vs. Mi Vida Loca (Akira Kurogane & Itsuki Aoki)

Thoughts
: It was a not so serious opener here with Kog doing her chants and other wrestlers joining in. There were a lot of people coming in for a spot, then getting out so the next person could do in to do their spot and that hurt the flow a bit. This wasn't anything much of note and was basically a throwaway bout.

Ran kicks Akira in the face after while she's down.

Artist Of Stardom Title Match - God's Eye (Ami Sourei, Hina & Lady C) (c) vs. Kikyo Furusawa, Maki Ito & Rian

Ito and her buddies came out to a new song. Rian did some very poor lip syncing for it.

Thoughts: It was mainly all about Rian being the underdog here and trying to pick up the win. She ended up losing and no sold more than she should have here. It was alright though as it had a story and it made you want to see Rian pull the win off.

The Stardom president talks. Thekla pops up behind him with hair clippers and tries to cut his hair. Thek then talks on the mic. She says she told him she will find him and make his life a living hell. She hits him with the mic and brings him into the ring. Thek says the president fired her and now she's the AEW champ. She then goes to spit on him maybe and grabs her belt. She then whips him with it. 

Starlight Kid comes out. Thek tries to hit her and is dropkicked. Kid hits mounted forearms. Kid slams her. Kid talks on the mic and tells Thekla to go home as wrestlers escort her to the back. Kid then picks up the AEW Women's Title and holds it up.

The heels take control and shoulder the faces over. Poi takes corner attacks, a suplex and 3 sentons for 2. Death cradles Poi for 2. Anou fisherman suplexes Death. Poi top rope cartwheel splashes Death for 2. Poi rolls up death and pins her.

Thoughts: It was pretty simple with the heels being heels and the face being a bit faster and flashier. It worked fine enough but we only saw a little of everyone due to the amount of people involved and the time restrictions.

Thoughts
: It was a basic heavyweight match for the most part. It was unoffensive and acceptable, but totally forgettable. They didn't really pick up the pace as much as they could have in the 2nd half of this and didn't make it anything special.

Xena says she's been living in Japan for 3 years and it's time for her to leave Japan. She says her last match will be on July 8th.

Utami puts Saya's legs on Momo's shoulders and twists Saya down, which sends Momo down. Utami does a spinning razor's edge on Saya and pins her.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time. It was alright. We didn't see a ton of Miyu or BP in this one as AZM vs Konami and Saya vs Utami were the main focuses. It was nice to them to let Utami win instead of being petty and making her lose.

Saya grabs Utami by the hair after. Saya walks off and kicks a rail.

Thoughts
: .I was surprised to see Saya lose as she should have held the belt a bit longer to see where she goes with it. Suzu hasn't won this title before, but she's been pushed near the top for a while and didn't exactly need it. They did too much here with Saya surviving apron piledrivers and top rope germans I thought they had the right idea with Saya doing all the selling and being the underdog though. Saya has to work on expanding her offense as the spear spamming gets old.

Suzu talks on the mic after. 

Overall thoughts: It was a longer card as big Stardom PPV's usually are. Yuna/Matoi wasn't bad but I didn't care for the other two pre-show matches. The three-way tag wasn't serious. I liked the Artist of Stardom Tag Title match as the match revolved around Rian as the underdog face. Cosmic Angels vs HATE was simple and was okay enough. Xena/Hanako was a very basic heavyweight match but they didn't botch and it was unoffensive. Neon Genesis vs HATE was okay as was Syuri/Rina, who had a strike heavy match. Hana/Iida was an even match with them doing okay and them having the right idea stylistically. I didn't love Saya losing to Suzu in the main but the match was acceptable. I'd give this a 6 out of 10. They had a lot of okay matches but nothing truly great. It was an okay show.

Thoughts
: It was interesting to see the Japanese heel tactics vs the Mexican heel tactics. It's two different ways of heeling and it's not often you see that in the same match. It really wasn't that bad. Roja nearly got hurt on a bad tope con hilo through the ropes. When HoT doesn't do all the stupid run-in's and ref bumps, their matches become a lot more tolerable.

Thoughts: It got rough near the end and the match went downhill. Val slipped on his blind double springboard moonsault and seemed to have injured himself. He then couldn't get up top for the finish. It's a shame as it was going well otherwise.

Thoughts: The finish could have been done a bit better as Av gave up a pin to stop Difunto...even though he would have won a second later. Zand also didn't kick out on that. It was fine otherwise.

ELP is up top and takes enzugiri's then a top rope Mist spanish fly. Mist springboard swantons him and wins.

Thoughts: They did a little too much by the end of this but they worked well together otherwise. I would have said it was good if they had cut this one off a bit earlier. This was a bit of a surprise.

Mistico is interviewed after. He says Happy Father's Day and thanks all the parents. 

Overall thoughts: The opener was acceptable. Tessa/Lluvia went long and wasn't that interesting. I liked the Pantera's vs Villanos tag match. Difunto's match was an interesting mix of Japanese vs Lucha heeling and it was a different type of match that you won't usually see. That was interesting. Euforia/Valiente went downhill near the end and wasn't that good. Soberano Jr.'s match wasn't that good either. Averno/Zand was alright. The main was going well but they ended up doing too much and it brought down. It was a different card than usual with some unique matchups. It also went about 30 minutes longer than these Sunday shows usually do. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as CMLL tried here and it was alright overall.

WWE Monday Night Raw 6/22/2026

WWE Monday Night Raw 6/22/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/wwe-monday-night-raw-6152026.html

We are in London, England. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive and hang out. 

Oba Femi comes out to talk. He says he was backed by destiny. He says destiny is on his side and will take him to new heights as he becomes KOTR. He then wonders which champ he should challenge when he wins KOTR. 

Jey Uso comes out and interrupts, taking forever to do so. Oba says he will put an end to it if he thinks of running it back. Jey then goes to run it back and Oba does nothing. Jey says he's him. He says they counted him out when he won The Rumble, the title and are counting him out now. He says they don't think he can beat Oba. Jey says he will shock the world and become champ at Summerslam. He says that's his warning shot.

Oba says he assumes he's shooting for real. He tells him not to miss when he shoots as he will destroy him and if he doesn't, he'll still destroy him. He says Jey's not the family member he's worried about. He tells him to give his bullets to his cousin, courtesy of Oba Femi.

LA Knight talks to Adam Pearce and accuses him of talking to Roman. LA says he was handling business then Fatu interfered. Jimmy Uso comes in and asks what his problem is. He says LA hit him with a chair. LA says he was collateral damage. They argue and LA tells Adam to shut up. Adam says it'll be Jimmy Uso vs LA Knight tonight. LA says it's a terrible idea and says he should have face Jimmy tonight. Jimmy says Adam just said that. Jimmy agrees to the match. 

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria are interviewed before their match. Lyra says this is "the one". She says they had no luck all year and they need this. Lyra says this is their time. Bay says everyone will find out that they have trust. Bay says it's all or nothing.

Lyra hits mounted shots and slaps Bay around. Officials come out to stop Lyra and struggle to contain the 150lb woman. Lyra hits a cradle shock on Bay and steps on her face. Lyra then leaves.

Thoughts: You'd think Bay would be the one to turn here. I'm not high on this turn and I think Lyra plateaued a while ago.

Lyra is interviewed in the back but she doesn't say anything and just walks off.

Chad Gable comes out to talk. He says he's had a hell of a month and it started when he lost his mask. He says he lost his dignity, reputation and some friends. He says Rey Mysterio reminded him that it's never too late to right some wrongs. He says he will do just that and brings out Alpha Academy.

Alpha Academy comes out. Chad says the potential was obvious in Max and he just wanted the best. He says she won a singles title which is something he couldn't do. He says it's fault for how he treated her. He says Tozawa is the definition of fighting spirit and he tried to hold him back. He says Tozawa didn't deserve the treatment he got. He says Otis is the most loyal human and the best friend one could have. He says he misses him. He says he threw it away as he wanted a title more than his friendship. 

Chad says they owe him nothing but he does. He says he's sorry. Otis goes to shake hands. Max interrupts. She says everything about Chad is a lie. She says Otis and Tozawa want to give him a 2nd chance but she doesn't. She says she remembers it all. She says Chad's apology is for him, not them. Max says when she won a singles title, she realized they didn't need him then or now. Max says they will leave him the same way he left them - alone. 

Thoughts
:
Well that was an unexpected turn of events. I'm not loving Chad's new direction and I hope it changes soon.

Austin says only Logan knows sacrifice and we see his arm brace. Page says he's healing faster than anyone else. He says he would have his money on The Vision tonight and they got it covered.

Iyo Sky is interviewed in the ring. She says she feels grateful to be here. She says she can't wait to face Liv Morgan for QOTR. She says she beat Raquel last week and will beat Liv Morgan on Saturday. 

Liv Morgan comes out. She says Iyo forgot who she is dealing with. She says she's the greatest women's champ of all time and says Iyo won't beat her. She says everyone knows she is better than her. She says she's the face of the division and is only missing her crown. She says she will make history at Night of Champions and gets to embarrass Rhea Ripley at Summerslam.

The Uso's talk in the back. Jimmy says he's got LA and tells Jey to focus on KOTR. They then talk to Jacob Fatu. Fatu says he doesn't answer to Jey. Fatu says they wait now for Solo and says when he crosses the line, he won't like what he finds.

Danhausen talks to Dom and JD McDonaugh in the back. JD and Dom says Dan stole their money. Dan says he spent it. JD says if he doesn't give him the money, they will take the stuff he bought. Dan says he's cursed. JD touches one of Dan's things and gets electrocuted while Dan disappears.

Thoughts:
What we got was fine and thankfully LA won. The Bloodline Civil War ain't over but Solo and LA make sense as allies.

The Street Profits are interviewed. Dawkins says they are ready and he's 100%. Dawkins says they are ready to get the job done. Ford says they will take the titles and show that The Vision is impaired. Ford says they are forever up and they want the smoke.

RP asks what about her but Liv and the boys leave to go gt JD to medical.

We see a taped interview between Corey Graves and Seth Rollins. Seth says he feels like he took some steps to take out The Vision but he doesn't know if he would be here if it weren't for The Street Profits. Seth says he's one night away from putting The Vision behind him. Corey says Seth may not win or even walk out alive at NoC. Seth says he knows the risk. He says when you have a problem, you have to find a way around it and put all the chips on the table. He says NoC will show the world who Seth is. He says if he can beat Bron and put the vision behind him, he can focus on getting the title.

Chad Gable talks to Adam Pearce. Judgment Day interrupt. Dom says Chad won't face Penta before him. Dom says Chad doesn't deserve anything and asks Chad where his apology is since he's king of the luchadores. Chad says Dom sent him down to Mexico in the first place and tells him to beat an apology out of him. Dom offers JD up as a match for Chad but JD is totally out of it and thinks Pearce is the doctor.

World Tag Titles - The Vision (Austin Theory and Bron Breakker) (c) vs The Street Profits (Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins)

Thoughts: It was acceptable but nothing too memorable. They lost a bit of the pace near the end and the finish had lots of shenanigans. Bron and Austin were a makeshift team and it wasn't shocking to see them lose. The Profits winning tag titles again isn't exactly a new and exciting thing though and it's hard to get excited about it. 

Overall thoughts: A lot of stars were missing from here and it's just not a great time period for WWE. The Bloodline stuff isn't that great. The Vision have lost their luster a long time ago. Judgment Day has seen better days. Chad Gable's face run sucks so far and Lyra turning on Bayley isn't mindblowing stuff either. We also only had 4 matches which is rather sad for a 2.5 hour broadcast. I'm not sure what the solution is to some of these issues, but I think more matches and more stars would be a start. I'd say Lee vs Page was the best match of the night. I'd give the show a low 6 out of 10 as it really was fine, but it was totally forgettable. 

WWE LFG 6/21/2026 Season 3, Episode 9

WWE LFG 6/21/2026 Season 3, Episode 9

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/wwe-lfg-6142026-season-3-episode-8.html

We go to the medical area.

Carlee Bright is having issues with her thigh and lower back. She says her left leg shuts down sometimes. She says she wants to work through her fears and mistakes. 

The coaches of Matt Bloom, Terry Taylor, Bubba Ray Dudley and Booker T talk. Booker T has Braxton Cole vs Harlem Lewis tonight. Bloom says Harlem Lewis could be the bad@ss babyface tonight. Terry Taylor has Zena Sterling vs Sirena Linton. Bloom says Zena has a light bulb but it is flickering. Terry says Zena has plateau'd. Bubba says Zena doesn't understand anger or aggression as she has never had an angry day in her life.

Apollo Crews and Elijay Holyfield face Jamie Garcia and Malik Blade. Booker says Blade is on the bubble. Bloom wants a good story told. Bubba says Apollo will be a great leader for Elijah. Bloom says Eli has great intensity.

We see Braxton Cole working out. Harlem Lewis says he's fighting below his weight. Booker T works out with them. Lewis says Booker used to p!ss him off but now he gets excited to work with him. Booker says he has high hopes for Lewis. 

Braxton Cole vs Harlem Lewis

They lock up. Cole shoulders him over and side headlock takeovers him. Lewis side headlock takeovers him. Lewis shoulders him over and slams him. Cole stun gun's him. Cole running neckbreakers him for 2. Cole release suplexes him. 

Lewis hits him and takes a shot to the throat. Cole bridging neckbreakers him. Lewis hits punches then lariats and forearms him down. Lewis michinoku drivers him for 2. Cole neckbreakers him for 2. Cole goes to use his book. The ref takes it from him. Cole goes for a kick and Lewis jack knife pins him to win.

Thoughts: It was short and mostly average. They didn't botch anything and the finish was alright. Cole could have shown more personality.

Booker likes the match and says it was good stuff. Lewis says the match went great.

Bloom says Cole needs to show more personality and says he's not putting all of himself into it. Cole says Bloom wants him to have more identity. Bloom says this should be the most important thing to him. Cole says he needs to figure out who he wants to be. Bloom says Lewis did a good job. 

Zena Sterling and Sirena Linton both talk. Sirena says it's the first time they have wrestled. Terry Taylor says Sirena needs to make sure we don't like her. Terry says they need to find something that looks unique and different. Terry wants to work  a body part and Zena says Terry is adamant about this. Terry then claps his hands and says, "hot dog".

Terry talks more to them and explains heel vs face roles. He says people want to suspend their disbelief. Sirena says it's just as important to tell stories and says they are storytellers first. 

Zena Sterling vs Sirena Linton

Sirena has been fired for a while now.

They lock up. SL slaps her. Zena slaps back and side headlock takeovers her. Zena side headlocks her then lariats her for 2. Zena chinlocks Sirena. Zena knocks her over then slams her. 

Zena misses a corner charge and SL boots her in the gut. SL double foot chokes her. SL pendulum bronco busters her. SL double stomps her for 2. SL kicks her in the back and bodyscissors her.

Zena flying lariats her. Zena hits her in the gut and face. Zena hits chops then she hits lariats. Zena backdrops her down then running back splashes her. Zena tilt-a-whirl side slams her and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a simple match. Sirena had some twists on some basic moves which was something different. Zena was the face and got a streak going before she won. What we got was fine.

Terry Taylor tells Sirena she did good. He says everything was mechanically great. Terry says they rushed. Terry wanted them to use the bodyscissors more and wanted them to sell more so Zena seems like she's in more jeopardy. Terry says it doesn't undo how good it was though.

Bloom says he enjoyed the match and says they are getting better each week. Zena says he told them the same thing Terry did. 

Bubba Ray Dudley talks to the wrestlers in the tag match. Garcia says they couldn't have anyone better for this. Bubba says this is about synergy. Apollo says Elijah has the intense look and it will bring the intensity out of him. Bubba tells Eli no punches until it's time for his big punch. 

Bubba says they only have 6 minutes. Bubba says go fast but make sure everything they do means something.

We are at the NXT arena for the main event. Malik Blade and Apollo Crews have been fired already prior to this.

Thoughts: It was a good tag here. They really made the most of their time, they got some classic tag spots in and the finish went well. This couldn't have gone much better than it did.

Shawn tells the wrestlers to do something on offense when they shoot someone in. Garcia says it's the first time he talked to Shawn. Bubba says they did well. Bubba liked JG's spaceman plancha and thought the hot tag spot worked. Bubba tells him to look large in the ring and not small so everyone can see him. 

JG says him and Blade are learning English, Spanish and tag wrestling. Eli says him and AC lean off each other and make for a great match. AC says the sky is the limit.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual LFG. The wrestlers were given the play for their matches, they did them and they got reviewed after. The main was the best match on here. They really need to make sure they don't fire people next time around when they are featuring them on the show because it makes them all look like liars and fools. It was an easy watch, just there's nothing must see here.

LM52 Lucha Libre Mexicana on Discovery Espanol 6/21/2026

LM52 Lucha Libre Mexicana on Discovery Espanol 6/21/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/lm52-lucha-libre-mexicana-on-discovery_01697776726.html

We are in front of a crowd again. They have some nice new AI graphics for each wrestler.

Alberto Zamudio, one of the commentators, welcomes us to the show and hypes up the crowd. He introduces the other commentator Leobardo Magadan and they play the Mexican national anthem. They also have a flag in the ring and have the military there. The commentators talk for a bit and we go to break.

Dr. Wagner Jr comes out with 2 girls. Doc talks to the crowd. He brings up Pirata Morgan. Sexy Andre and El Mafioso come out. Wagner argues with them. Wagner leads a "culero" chant at them. Pirata Morgan comes out and has words for Mafioso and Wagner. Pirata and Mafioso try to start chants for themselves. Mafioso leaves with Andre when the crowd doesn't go for it. Wagner and Pirata shake hands and seemingly are forming a team. 

Aquiles vs Limbo

We are 28 minutes in and our first match finally starts.

They lock up and trade full nelson's. Lim snapmares him and crucifix pins him for 2. Aq is thrown down on a flying headscissors then he takes a basement dropkick. Lim tope con hilos him outside.

Lim is sat up top and chopped. Lim 2nd rope spinning torture rack drops him for 2. Aq top rope diving headscissors Lim down from the 2nd rope. Aq top rope splashes Lim and pins him.

Thoughts:
It wasn't anything great but they flew around a bit and tried their best to make it exciting. After 28 minutes of talking, anything is really appreciated at this point. The ropes were way too loose here and I'm surprised the wrestlers were even willing to try their luck with them.

Burger Boy vs Zumbi vs Shocko

Shock takes the mic from the announcer and talks before the match. Zumbi then talks about Burger Boy takes the mic from him to talk. Zumbi tries to do capoeira but is kicked.

Boy facekicks Shocko out of the corner. Shocko goes up and over  then Boy shoulders him over. Zumbi handstands and superkicks Boy. Zumbi then back flips into an armdrag. He superkicks Boy in the gut then does a split fameasser on him. Zumbi handtand double knee drops him for 2.

Shocko package backbreakers Zumbi for 2. Boy and Shocko trade forearms. Boy blocks a double suplex. Boy is double superkicked then Boy is double suplexed. Shocko corner dropkicks Zumbi. Shocko top rope double stomps Zumbi's back. Shocko tope con hilos Boy outside.

Shocko is up top and superkicked by Zumbi. Boy does a tower of doom to both of them. Boy then pins Zumbi and wins the match.

Thoughts: I liked it. Zumbi and Shocko were athletic and Zumbi had some cool capoeira spots here. It went alright and they managed the various styles clashes and format issues here. I'd like to see more of Zumbi.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches here. You could literally skip the first 30 minutes and miss little. Limbo/Aquiles had to deal with very loose ropes in their match and they tried to make it interesting. I liked the 3-way and Zumbi had some cool capoeira spots in it. I'd give this show a 4 out of 10 as virtually nothing interesting happened in the first 30 minutes. It was so-so as usual with this promotion.

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

I reviewed this here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wwc-superestrellas-de-la-lucha-libre_6.html

We had two promos during the match. They were:

Jake Hager does a promo. He says he will be in PR on 6/27 and 6/18 for Anniversary 53. He says let's go again.

John Hawking does a promo. He says he's facing Jake Hager at the Anniversary show. He says he will defend his Caribbean Title against him. He says he's preparing physically and mentally. He says Jake is a great American and he has known him since he was a kid. John says he has no plan to lose. He says Jake will only get his title over his dead body. He says he will test him.

Abel Durant talks. He says we will take a look at Jake Hager and says Eddie Colon brought Jake out of retirement. 

The Colon's talk. Eddie says they will join forces to talk out two pieces of trash and says they belong in the trash. Carlito says the same. Eddie says it's symbolic but it's the future for Bryan and Chicano. Carlito says they are men of class.

La Amenaza Bryan and Chicano do a promo. Chicano says they are sharpening the cannons. He says he doesn't know if Eddie knows how to speak. He says Eddie's Windows OS program needs reset. Chicano says they are getting together again to make sangria out of The Colon's. Bryan says The Colon's don't know what they got themselves into. Bryan says they don't slack off and asks what they will do. Bryan says they plan to rip their heads off and leave them laying in blood. Bryan says they don't have what it takes to them. Bryan says The Colon's will have to leave them dead to beat them and says The Colon's don't have the guts to do it. Bryan says they should be ashamed of acting like this as Colon's. Bryan says they will rip their heads off and finish them. Chicano says they built themselves up from the ground up and says Eddie owes them. Chicano says Eddie and Carlito are both pigs.

Albeto El Patron does a promo from his bed. He says he's taking a break after Mexico won in the World Cup and asks how Puerto Rico is doing in it. He says PR has never made the World Cup. Al says PR is fighting for electricity and not to be in a bad economy. He says good luck with that. He says PR is up against the pride of the Latinos.

Abel Durant closes the show. He says to buy something for your dad for Father's Day and shills the Anniversary Show. He says we will see each other at the Anniversary Show.

Overall thoughts:
It was a complete waste of time. Every match shown here has aired before and one of them just aired yesterday. I think we only got 2 new promos here as the other promos were also repeats. I would not recommend this at all and I have no idea why anyone would watch this. I'd give it a 1 out of 10 just for being a lazy and complete waste of time. They have plenty of footage we haven't seen in full. They could have easily filmed some segment with some of the roster members to fill time or have them send in promos, but they just don't care.

Thoughts
: It was a solid opener. The faces flew, they kept things moving and they had some highlights without going too far. I really wish Futuro's team got some different gear though. It's absolutely impossible to tell these guys apart quick enough with all of CMLL's cuts and people coming in and out.

Thoughts:
The ending was interesting with KT stealing the pin from Hech. The booking of this was weird. KT and Hech were heel partners a month ago or so when KT was in The Don Callis Family. KT left and is a face now. KT worked heel here though and not face. If AEW wasn't aligned with CMLL, I'd ignore it, but this is basically canon, so I can't. It was a tornado tag for the most part with all 4 guys doing whatever they wanted. They all hit their signature moves and I'd say it was average.

KT and Hech argue after. KT offers a handshake and Hech dropkicks him. Hech then stomps on him.

Tiger Mask is given a title belt before his match.

Blue dives on Vol off the ramp. Mist springboard crossbodies BT. TM spin kicks BT in the gut. Mist la mistica's Av while TM tiger drivers BT. The ref counts TM's pin while not even looking at TM.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one. It was fine enough for the main but nothing too memorable. Tiger Mask's team won and that was really the only outcome that could happen here. The heels controlled the early part of this then the face took over and won.

The whole roster comes out and celebrates Tiger after. Confetti, streamers and smoke shoot out.

The announcer then closes the show.

Overall thoughts: I'm not a big fan of interpromotional shows. The matches are random so it's hard to get too invested into anything. It gets a little harder with CMLL as they have their own style and it's a hard style to mesh with. I liked the opener and India/Rina beat expectations. Sky Team's match was rushed and beyond packed with action. House of Torture's match wasn't bad at all. Barb/ELP was okay. I didn't like the semi-main that much and the main was fine. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 as they tried to put on a special show here and the action was acceptable.
