AEW Dynamite 1-21-26 - Omega vs. Alexander

 

It's a loaded show tonight with Swerve vs. Kevin Knight in what should be a show-stealer and Omega vs. Alexander  - FINALLY after it being teased during the AEW-TNA days. Collision is also being taped after Dynamite due to the horrible weather set to hit like all of the south. Tony S brings out MJF to start the show, which is generally go-away heat for me. MJF insults the fans and any other world champion while Tony is dressed in green and green and some horrid shoes. MJF says it's the year of the devil and no one's on his level. CUE BRODY KING! 

MJF tells him he's only beaten jobbers and hey, now those standby matches make more sense. MJF and his burberry shoes may be worse than Tony's. Trios title recap and they workshop names with Bailey getting in Horsecock and Knight wanting Jet Set Rodeo! Joe vs. Bailey is up AND JOE CHOPS THE SOUL OUT OF HIM ON THE FLOOR! Shibata and Hook beat up Bailey on the floor and they don't bring up Hobbs at all. Bailey standing SSP misses but Joe's senton doesn't. Bailey gets him down and an SSP gets 2. Moonsault kneedrop on the apron misses and Shibata suplexes and kneebreakers Bailey on the floor. Joe mocks the fans with their claps and he kicks him around. A CRANE KICK, PK, AND SSP KNEEDROP HITS! FOR 2! Corner tornado kick but Hook prevents ultima! SCHOOLBOY GETS 2 FOR BAILEY! BAILEY GETS THE BRET SLEEPER COUNTER FOR 2.9! A Hook distraction allows the muscle buster and a win for Joe - outstanding stuff! 

FTR face Jordan Oliver and Alec Price and THE DCF VS DEATH RIDERS STREET FIGHT IS NEXT! Mox and Archer square off and Hechi taps to a Garcia ankle lock, which wasn't seen by the ref. BUSAIKU KNEE BY YUTA AND THEN AN STO WITH ONE ONTO ARCHER! Rocky and Hechi have Octopus stretches on but Danny turns it into an ankle lock! Mox DDTs Rocky and Hechi! Mox goes into tacks and glass! Pac comes out on crutches and attacks Archer! Claudio sends Archer into the electrical box and BUSAIKU BY YUTA! BULLDOG CHOKE TO ROCKY! PILEDRIVER BY GARCIA! DRAGON TAMER IS ON AND THE PARADIGM SHIFT KNOCKS HIM OUT FOR THE WIN! This ruled!

The Triangle of Madness talks about Kris being a coward and we'll get Thekla vs. Kris next week. Stoke insults Price and Oliver. Oliver is in long tights and Price is in shorts and Oliver gets worn down with a headlock. DOUBLE SUICIDE DIVES BY THE FACES! Backflip by Price off a kick catch and the shatter machine wins it! Okay this was maybe not the best debut for them. Kris talks about Thekla and she will drown her in toxic and she wants an eliminator on Collision and Hart vs. Willow is up for Saturday. 

Kenny vs. Josh is up and JOSH JUMPS HIM! GUARDRAIL MOONSAULT BY KENNY! Apron world's strongest slam by Josh! Kenny unloads some big chops to Josh before Josh just hurks him down with a towerhacker toss. Back and forth forearms, elbows, and punches on the floor! Kenny chases Don around and it opens the door to Josh ankle locking him and smashing the ankle on the apron. Kenny escapes, hits a V trigger and the one winged angel wins it! This was Kenny's best match since Kidd. 

Kenny gets the mic and hypes up his new home in Orlando, where they're at and he's happy to be 100%. TECHNIQUE BY TAZ VIDEO on MJF vs. Bandido before the women's tag of the Love Bombs against Bayne and Ford. Assisted splash by Mina gets 2 on Ford. BAYNE PRESS SLAMS MINA OVER THE TOP ROPE AND Toni God bless her tried as much as she could to catch her. Fuck! RELEASE GERMAN BY MEGAN TO MINA!

Toni tags in after Mina hits a missile dropkick and hits a few shotgun dropkicks! HIP ATTACK TO FORD! DOUBLE APRON HIP ATTACKS and a run-up crossbody from Mina! BACKFIST BY MINA TO FORD! Figure four is countered by a Megan lariat and THE DOOMSDAY DEVICE IS ON AND MARINA CHOKES TONI OUT! Roddy in CMLL hype video sets up Claudio vs. Roddy on Collision. BILLY GUNN IN ACTION ON SATURDAY! Willow vs. Julia too! The return of Excalibur reciting copy at a billion miles an hour! MAIN EVENT TIME!

Swerve's out and they bring up Profit passing away - his friend and producer on his new theme. Swerve hits a springboard crossbody over the post and Swerve chops him off the top. Swerve and Knight boot the shit out of each other OFF OF A HALF CRAB! HOUSE CALL MISSES and Knight gets the standing UFO splash to the back for 2! Apron DVD AND THE DRAGON SLEEPER BY SWERVE! COAST TO COAST BY KNIGHT AND THE UFO SPLASH GETS 2.9! house call by knight! HOUSE CALL OUT OF MID-AIR BY SWERVE OFF A LARIAT ATTEMPT! VERTEBREAKER HITS! BIG PRESSURE WINS IT! Swerve made Knight here. Wow!

AEW Collision 1-17-28 - Andrade Returns!

 

Andrade starts us off strong against Angelico! Angelico ties him up before eating a big chop. 3 amigos and he pulls Angelico up. The corkscrew double underhook suplex is now the DM. Razcalz hotbox Lexy and they should dominate the trios and they smoke 'em all! GYVs against Kingston and Ortiz is up. GIANT chop for Drake! GIBSON TREE FALLS OFF A CHOP! Sitout last ride gets 2 for Ortiz! Big Chop from Eddie to Gibson before an exploder. Second rope codebreaker from Gibson gets 2. Koji clutch by Drake and Kingston escapes after his arm goes down twice. Magball shot from Ortiz gives Eddie the win. 

FTR and Big Stoke talk shit about Jake...something or other...DOYLE! Zayda highlight reel before she faces MARINA! MOX IS ON COMMENTARY and Marina eats a dropkick. Mox "I'm an expert in dealing with unreasonable women!" as Zayda gets tied into a knot and mothers milk wins it. She salutes Mox before DCF of Clon, Josh, and THE PROTOSTAR is out and we get some Nigel lore-building with Don on commentary and Jon says he beat 3 DCF guys! 

LANCE AND ROCKY JUMP MOX! Skyflight draws the DCF here. Flying forearm by Fletcher to Darius before a JML no a high knee by Clon! Apron Worlds strongest slam by Josh and Clon hits a Lionsault ON THE RAMP. FUCK! Darius avoids the C4 Spike but the ankle lock is on and Darius sends him into the corner. Torture rack bomb and the SPIKE wins it! Takeshita returns not amused by their shit BUT he hugs Kyle! MJF Limitless Wrestling recap and that match and whole show ruled.

Megan Bayne and Ford are back to face Viva Van and Karmilla. Doomsday device wins it. Toni cuts a promo and gets muted but gets in a death ride for Marina. Swerve tells Knight that he's the future and Knight says the future is now. Jack Perry faces Bowens and Bowens avoids the knee and lands a back elbow and chop series before a superkick. Gamenguri and a draping Abagail DDT! Exploder into a uranage gets 2 for Bowens! SOS cradle gets 2 for Bowens! Kneeling knee wins it for Jack - this was a better showcase for Bowens than any of his pushed singles matches were and Perry will probably take the National off Ricochet. Jack jumps him and he's a bit of a dick for that. 

Opps vs. Hangman and JetSpeed for the trios title. BUT FIRST Mox talks about the DCF and Danny cuts a great promo after Pac asks the DCF if they know who the fuck they are. Danny says they're family because the world hates you but you got each others' back! When you're low and folks offer a better life.  

TNA Genesis 2026 - JDC Retirement Match

 

Stacks retains the International Title by STEALING THE PIN. JDC-Edwards hype video. Indi wants to fight the ELEGANCE BRAND and we get them out being wacky but instead Tessa is out with Mila Moore to face VICIOUS VICKI and Indi. This is just god-awful and we have a billion people out there getting involved and Tessa beats Vicki with the buzzsaw hammerlock DDT. Poor Tessa having to carry these three. 

AJ Francis vs. Rich Swann is up with AJ in Commanders gear and Swann facing it up in Cowboys colors. Swann avoids an apron chokeslam and nails a springboard dive. LAUNCHING AA BY FRANCIS! TFL SPEAR BY FRANCIS GETS 2.5! AJ HITS A STYLES CLASH to mad heat. A second one is met with a destroyer for 2.9. Okay that should have been the finish. Amazing impact and the one-armed chokeslam wins it for Francis. This was a blast!

Ali vs. Elijah is up and "The King of the Six String" is a great nickname. Ali kicks out of the tombstone with a bridge. Avalanche tombstone is avoided thanks to goons. Baldo bomb hits but Zero saves Ali. Tasha goes for a guitar shot, but a tombstone is teased and Ali uses a guitar to win. JDC vs. Edwards is up. They come out together and Eddie's in Misawa gear while JDC is in Terry Funk gear. DROPKICK BY JDC! They chop the shit out of each other and JDC looks great. APRON BELLY TO BACK TO EDDIE! Jumping spinwheel kick by JDC! SOMERSAULT DIVE BY JDC! Draping legdrop hits for JDC! Falcon arrow by JDC! Walls of Jericho by JDC and Eddie kicks away BUT EATS A CODEBREAKER for 2! AVALANCHE AIR RAID CRASH BY JDC GETS 2! LAST DANCE misses and the BOSTON KNEE PARTY HITS FOR 2! ANOTHER ONE AND ANOTHER KICKOUT! Die hard driver and another knee party wins it!

Ryan Nemeth vs. Mara Sade is up and a back suplex on the apron gives Nemeth an edge. DROPKICKS BY SADE and a tornado DDT! SUPERKICK but he schoolboys with the ropes to win. Arianna demands that Santino make decisions that help the company. Zaria vs. Xia Li is up and Sol is there too. Zaria bowls her over to start before an elevated cloverleaf is locked on by Zaria and Li climbs up and gets a MOUNTED 10 PUNCHES IN THE CORNER STANDING ON ZARIA - well 5 of them and then blocks a kick into an STF. Big exploder by Li gets 2! The Elegance brand is out and Sol and Brookside take them out. AVALANCHE RANA TO ZARIA! FOREARM EXCHANGE! WARRIOR'S WAY HITS FOR THE WIN!

Nic says he determines the fate of the world title and it's tag title time and "Loaded" blares while the Righteous take a beating. Vincent looking older than Matt and Jeff is something else as they've been on global TV for 31 years off and on. Jeff gets some axehandles and Matt gets 2 off a side effect. TWIST TO DUTCH! Twist by Dutch and a Vincent swanton gets 2 BEFORE THE HARDYS HIT IT TO WIN. Dutch gets the belts and then the feed dies for me. Well, it's not midnight but I guess that's it for me on this show. 

TNA Impact 1-15-26 - AMC Debut

 

The AMC era has begun during an odd time for TNA. AJ Styles starts them off and we've got some graphics on the ramp for the overhead camera - so it's gotten some production upgrades. AJ  hypes up the TNA Nation and they have an AMC graphic on the floor that you can barely read because it's white on yellow. Elijah's out with the Hardys and...the show just crashes on TNA+. Like it's just the live event starting now graphic. 

So it's them against Order 4 and Elijah hits a knee and Jeff's swanton wins before THE RIGHTEOUS are out to take out Agent Zero and they put a lock through Jeff's ear gage and Vincent swantons Matt. AJ and Frankie bitch a bit - and while Frankie should lose here, if he doesn't, I'd do AJ vs. Kaz for the TNA World Title at Mania and then AJ drops it at Slammiversary. After another video package and no real cotnent, we get DARIA RAE debuting and it's Sonya Deville under a new terrible name. She's a heel counterpart to Santino because wrestling hasn't had enough heel authority figures and she's brought in Elayna Black.

Perez walks to the ring for the ad break and we get a commercial after the break. He's with the Elegance Brand getting heat because God just do SOMETHING ON THIS SHOW! Elegance Brand vs. Iiconics is up and the Concierge is here alongside Mr. Elegance and an Iconic hit a facejam thing on her knee before Mr. Elegance chopblocks one of them and M I think gets a schoolgirl to win. God this show is terrible. 

Lei Ying Lee is out with Xia Btookside and Santino says that due to a visa issue, Dani Luna can't wrestle at the PPV but she'll have an open contract for the PPV. And it'll be ZARIA!? Or maybe Sol since she's out too. Sol names Zaria as the challenger, which makes sense as WWE probably doesn't mind her losing. 

Santino announces that LEON SLATER IS OFF THE PPV TOO and Joe Hendry will be there against Moose and Cedric. PPV is rundown and...yeah it's a card. The System is out for YES A PROMO! And it's Alisha starting it before JDC says he's proud to end his career in TNA and JDC will announce the newest member of the System to replace him next week. DIXIE CARTER IS HERE and Bully is here with her.

Kaz vs. Santana is up and the ramp lighting board does help the presentation. Kaz starts with STALLING! Long chinlock by Kaz as Bully breaks it down, which only draws more attention to it. Rolling buck fifty/backrolling cutter gets 2 for Mike.  Spanish Fly and Code red get 2 for Santana! Kaz gets 2 off an angels wings. Slingshot cutter by Kaz and the legdrop gets 2. Ref bump and Santana hits his finish for no count. FADE TO BLACK ON THE APRON! CANADIAN DESTROYER AND SPIN THE BLOCK GETS 2.9! Another spin the block wins it!

This was among the worst shows in the history of TNA and I'm glad my TNA+ sub ends in 2 days. Maybe I'll get Genesis included in that sub or not. Whatever.

AEW Dynamite 1-14-26 - Maximum Carnage

 

Bandido vs. MJF is on tap for the main event and we start with Joe saying that Hangman is a fool and JOE HAS A BOUNTY FOR HIM! Darby vs. Pac is up and Pac sends the guys packing and eats a beating and a balcony coffin drop that can't be seen well due to the lighting. OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX TO DARBY ON THE STEPS! RAMPAGE LARIAT GETS 2.9! Irish whip alley oop and a SNAP GERMAN GETS 2.9! Belly to belly in the corner and off the top to Darby! AWESOMEBOMB TO THE RAMP TO DARBY! COFFIN PRESS AND A COFFIN DROP ON THE APRON! PAC taps to the scorpion but Yuta saves! DEATHDROP TO PAC! PILLMANIZING COFFIN DROP ON THE ANKLE! DEATHLOCK IS ON AGAIN AND IT'S OVER!

Hanger vs. Keith is up and Hanger gets a nice rebounder lariat on the floor off the rope and a discus elbow mid-ring. Bill goes for an apron chokeslam but Swerve saves and the buckshot wins it! Swerve wants the AEW World Title again and it's his goal for the year. BUT FIRST OMEGA HAS THOUGHTS! Kenny says he'll face them if needs to BUT NOW IT'S DON'S TIME AND HE HAS SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO SAY! He offers him Josh and Kenny wants that TONIGHT. Don offers up for next week instead. Jon Cruz talks shit to Brody King who informs of THAT THEY HAVE A STANDBY MATCH! Chop with a tree fall, ganso bomb win. JON CRUZ IS PERFECT!

Tag title shot 4 way with DAVIS AND DOYLE looking fantastic. Bucks work great with DnD as Ricochet bitches about Exalibur and Nick hits superkicks to GOA but a combo wheelbarrow cutter gives GOA an edge. Slingshot stomp/Ligerbomb gets 2 before a Knight crucifix gets 2! DnD combo piledriver Knight and win it! FTR and BIG STOKE and his BIG STOKE wheelchair confront them and FTR is the babyfaces. SKYFLIGHT promo time and they're all good with a nice line from Dante about the morning not mattering if you can't survive the night. Galactic Babes against the Triangle of Madness is up. Skye and Julia hit the goofier magic killer before Thekla spears and curb stomps Kris and beats her! 

Backstage, Knight gets hyped up and JET SPEED AND THE HANGMAN FACE THE OPPS ON COLLISION FOR THE TRIOS! RAZCALS ARE ALL ELITE! Ki Crusher by MJF GETS 2! BANDIDO HITS A CRAZY FUCKING ROPEWALK DIVE INTO THE CROWD ON MJF! CODE RED GETS 2 FOR BANDIDO! 21 plex after the heatseeker gets 2.9! FUJIWARA IS ON BANDIDO! MJF GETS THE LEBELL LOCK ON! Bandido goes out!

MJF attacks and Brody saves! 

AEW Collision 1-10-26

 

We've got a decent card of action with Mark Briscoe facing Hechicero and some other matches on tap too, including Komander vs. El Clon.  Death Riders trios action starts things off with Yutes, Pac and Garcia out against SkyFlight. Sky gets 2 off a backslide before Darius eats a forearm from Yutes. Pac stomps on Dante's ankle after the break before a C4 TO YUTES BY DARIUS! Zayda and Marina bicker before A CORNER ASSAULT ON DARIUS AND A LARIAT AND BRUTALIZER WIN IT! This was a lot of fun and Bayne hits the Ligerbomb to Zayda afterwards. 

Mark promo on Hechi and BRODY KING GETS A STANDBY MATCH! Barrett Brown eats a beating quick. DCF kills guys backstage while Josh chats about it while Lance kills a dude. Nigel talks about Komander dying twice near birth and his mother saying if he lived, he'd be spectacular and he's living up to that now - and indeed he had a banger with El Clon. Poison rana by Komander after a big overhand chop on the ropes! Ropewalk fosbury and SSP before Clon gets the forward flipping Pele! PORTAL BOMB NO DESTROYER! Portal Bomb wins it after the Penta Driver.

WK 20 recap video! Mina vs. Lady Frost begins with Frost jumping her after Mina gets some flowers and a ton of gymnastics work before Mina gets a rolling elbow. URAKEN AND THE FIGURE FOUR WINS IT! Short and fun! Mark vs. Hechi is up next but we get a Mone' recap of her downfall. Hechi gets a spinning hammerlock into an Irish curse! Cross armbar on the floor by Hechi leads to a strike exchange mid-ring. ARM AND KNEEBAR BY HECHI! Hechi gets a Slapjack into a border city stretch! Avalanche hammerlock leads to a Mark headbutt and a FROGGY BOW! JAY DRILLER WINS IT!  Congolmeration celebration!

Maximum Carnage Collision has the GYV against Kingston and Ortiz. OMEGA VIDEO! FTR hype video before Vert, Hyan and Maya World face the Babes. OF. WRATH and Kris. Kris double rana to Hyan and World before Willow and Harley hit a backpack senton! Stat gets a front flip into a superkick before the tombstone wins it. Harley wants a belt clanging in solidarity before Thekla is annoyed. Fletcher complains about Okada and OKADA screwed them all over at World's End! Don wants him as TNT Champion and that's a great use of this energy - CHAMP! 

Trios time with The Demand against JetSpeed and Bowens, before they demolish Knight and hang him by the ropes while just being dudes. Knight gets 2 off the springboard lariat. Kaun gets a DOUBLE BIG ENDING ON JET SPEED! GOA gets a double spinebuster for the win. Fun night of action and they beat Bowens and beat him up UNTIL CASTER...slowly walks down to save. DCF is out and the CONGLOMERATION IS HERE!
