WWE Raw 10-19-26

 

Joe Tess narration over the 946 ROAMING AROUND CORRIDORS! Sami is out on Raw to hype the Crown Jewel Title match. Roman is out and hugs Sami before Sami is a cocky asshole and Penta is out for an MK 3 versus screen pose with Roman before facing Breakker. Press turned into a DDT by Penta before a Penta driver gets 2.5. Vision is out and a mid-air Destroyer is met with a mid-air spear for 2.5. JeVon prevents Theory from using the case and he takes out Breakker with it and PENTA WINS WITH A DESTROYER!? 

Chelsea and Iyo are out to face Roxy and Raquel and they do a bunch of not much until Liv gets involved BUT IT BACKFIRES and Iyo cradles Raquel to win. 946 lets everyone know no one's safe. Well duh. Tess says Bloodline isn't here. Okay wait so the Bloodline isn't here, 946 is, and they aren't attacking Roman THE WORLD CHAMPION why?

JD vs. Hendry is up and Hendry looks miserable. Great hype graphic for JD, who is getting more over with this while Hendry is getting under. Goofy comedy with the Funko guy and Dom and Hendry gets a baseball slide to Dom. Flying headram-style headbutt wins it for JD. Lyra does crazy shit backstage. Lola Vice vs. Lyra is next and they just do a lot of nothing until a wacky submission by Lyra.

Lyra eats a cool mid-air backfist for 2.5. Bayley distraction and MIA hits flush and wins it. Lyra asks what she has to do to end this and Bayley tells her - no DQ. Tess hypes up MICRO DRAMAS! Their thing is shot in portrait and landscape thankfully. Becky wants a title shot and counters Pearce's "no one's fighting" with Steph hurt with THAT'S YOUR JOB TO MAKE MATCHES! Well she's right. 

Rey vs. Gable vs. Lee is up and MY GOD HOW IS REY SO GOOD!? He looked shot 16 years ago in WWE and he's better now. Rey does a crazy dive off the top to the floor! Double 619s and Rey gets 2.9 off a frog splash! Dragon Lee is taken out with a DDT and Gable beats Rey, who is pissed at losing. Page attacks Rey and Gable and Cass beats up Lee. A really distracting woman with MAGA face is behind the announcers and I'm sure she's a treat trying to return something.

Usos arrive with weapons and 946 surrounds the ring but Solo attacks Keys and Hayes. Keys calls out Roman, who saunters out to a "you fucked up" chant at Keys. Okay that's funny. Bloodline clears the ring and stands tall to set up War Games in November. They've built that up well - it's a shame it's WWE War Games and not JCP but oh well. IC Title scene would have been more interesting had Rey won, even if Gable winning is "better" in the sense of how many people are in the mix.

AEW WrestleDream 2026

 

We've got a Tailgate Brawl with the Guns and FTR and Divine Dominion against the Sisters starting off. Lena bullies Julia and gets a sideslam. Skye gets a handstand forearm, but Bayne throws her off a snapmare attempt. Outside-in back suplex by Bayne and corner shoulder charges. Bayne hits a German on both and a double chokeslam to Julia wins it. 

Mone hype vid. DCF 6 man tag is up and the powerbomb symphony wins it. Death Riders and Dogs are out to face the Congolmeration and we get a big brawl and it's over. Okey dokey.

Shelley O'Connor roll is met with a Cash uppercut and a Dax spinebuster for 2.5. 

Sabin cutter gets 2. Skull and Bones, but Dax's foot is put on the rope! SPIKE PILEDRIVER GETS 2.5 ONS ABIN! Double-team air raid crash wins it for the Guns - good, they need a PPV win to start this run strong. PPV hype vid hits formally.

Women's world title is seemingly starting things off and Thekla has a cool spider-shaped sedan! Kneeling surfboard into a Romero special sees Thekla get chucked off. Mercedes misses a double knee on the RINGPOST!? Ow. Thekla swings the D around after a double stomp off the apron. Spiderplex! Spiderwalk spear hits for 2! Back to back meteoras hit for Mone for 2! A masks hot and money maker win it!

Top rope punches/rana by Jericho. Wayne copies it and eats an avalanche powerbomb and walls. Sliced bread on the apron to Jericho. Wayne low blow attempt is met with a CUP and Nick WAYNE WINS WITH A CRADLE! Nick Wayne gets the mic and says HE BEAT HIM AGAIN!

Tag title time. JINDRAK DROPKICK BY KEVIN KNIGHT! I loved seeing that live at a DC NJPW show and now it hits AEW PPV! Draping double stomp by the Bucks! Chicken fight results in a double-down lariat. RUN-UP DESTROYER BY NICK HITS! AVALANCHE BRAINBUSTER AND UFO SPLASH HIT FOR 2.9 WHEN IT'S BROKEN UP! BTE TRIGGER WINS IT. Goddamn!

TBS Title 4-way time and it's got nonstop chaos with Luna shining with power spots. Persy talks shit and breaks a cameraman and wins it. Ciampa vs. Andrade is up and jeez is Ciampa's theme over. How you know is OVER HUGE. Pants gimmick backfires with a Ciampa kneelift and a ropeboudn meteora hits for Andrade. Ciampa covers the pants for 2.5 before the elbow of death hits! Cameraman bullshit and Ciampa loses due to it. Okay. 

Trios 2/3 falls is up and ICE FEARS HANGMAN is dead center. Daybreak wins the first fall for the champs. Swerve stomp gets 2.5 and the Deadeye hits Swerve, but New Level pulls him out. Weird draping move is avoided 20 years too late and Kofi hits Bandido with a leaping stomp but Bandido lands an SSP for 2. Brody wants a double superplex on both of New Level but SWERVE KICKS HIM! POP UP SPRINGBOARD POISON RANA BY BANDIDO! AVALANCHE MOONSAULT SLAM BY BANDIDO TO NEW LEVEL! New champs! New Level hands the belts over BUT SWERVE WON'T GIVE HIS TO HANGER and drops it, which his character SHOULD do.

Renee introduces Ilja Dragunov and his presentation is main event-level AND HE'S CONDUCTING A SYMPHONY OF VIOLENCE! Mox vs. Davis is up and they do the huddle around Pac's chair. Mox eats corner shots and deals some before eating a corner smash and a drilling corner punch by Davis! SLIDING D HITS FOR DAVIS AND HE GETS A GUSHER. Standing lariats by Mox and Davis registers before a cross armbar by Mox. Mox gets beaten down on the floor and Marina and Danny hype him up in the crowd since they can't be at ringside. Pop-up corner lariat by Mox! Davis gets an RNC but Mox gets one and then a bulldog choke! CORNER AVALANCHE BY DAVIS TO BREAK THE MOVE! Davis gets a rabbit lariat and wants the rope rebound one, but Mox avoids and gets the death rider! Davis pops up and THE BRUTALIZER IS ON. RNC is on! He fires up AND HE'S OUT BECAUSE HE FIRES UP TOO MUCH!

Clockwork Carnage is up and Ospreay faces Takeshita to start with good back and forth until Bailey is out for a nearfall off a sunset flip. Ricochet does two somersaults into the corner before getting a springboard lariat. Okada is out and just doesn't care.Take hits the knee and takes out Bailey! Cope is out in black and yellow and goes at it with Take as fans sing his theme! SSP by Ricochet meets knees and Take works with Cope more. Ricochet goes for Joe with a tope but GETS NOPED! JOE TAKES OUT DARBY WITH THE MUSCLE BUSTER - so hey, TNT setup. 12 and a half minutes left and Ospreay has no falls on the board. Styles clash hits Ricochet for 1 fall and DARBY BEATS OSPREAY WITH A COFFIN DROP FOR 1 FALL FOR EVERYONE BUT COPE! 

Darby trickshots Cope with a la majistral! Ospreay takes out Darby with a hidden blade! SSP HITS FOR RICOCHET FOR 2! Cope spears Ricochet through a table! Joe gets a coquina on Ospreay and Nigel tells Ospreay to just tap to avoid going out.  Cope pins Joe and Ricochet! 30 seconds left and if the time expires, he's got a chance in sudden death! RAINMAKER AVOIDED AND A SPEAR HITS FOR COPE! HIDDEN BLADE HITS AND OSPREAY WINS WITH TWO SECONDS LEFT - that was perfectly-timed and a perfect debut for this match. 

AEW Dynamite and Collision 10-14-26

 

It's a combo Dynamite and Collision before WrestleDream, which will probably do the worst number of the year given how they lost weeks of TV for tributes. WALKER STEWART is here and we start off with trios action with the Death Riders and Mox facing Wardlow and Davis and Doyle. Danny and Doyle have fun David vs. Goliath chemistry and Danny gets an edge with a lariat off the ropes. Davis and Mox come in and Davis looks great with the enzuiguri and Gabe lariats him down, Danny gets the sharpshooter and the Mox stomp gets 2.5 when the heels save. Kidd hits a Cactus clothesline to Wardlow before the Dunkzilla driver wins it!

Cope vs. Alexander is up and Cope just loves that babyshit green gear. Josh works the leg and Cope lands a kneeling forearm shiver. Another ankle lock and Walker is great for Cope matches adding a sense of history with the past vs. present. Electric chair into the buckle and the spear wins it. Cope announces that in TLC, Christian broke three ribs and collapsed a lung and holy shit. He realized that he needs to soulsearch and it's getting time to end it - and 2027 is his last year, so hey, one more year of him or so and I would expect a World title win just to have his name attached to that title. 

DCF attacks Cage, but Takeshita IS CONGLOMERATING and saves. Renee runs down Clockwork Carnage and it's Cage vs. Takeshita in a Carnage qualifier. Cage is slow and gasping for air in an STF. Blue thunder gets 2.5 for Take. Dragon sleeper wins it for Take and TUE is backstage and the Birds are saying...things and Andrade wants Ciampa to buy him dinner before kissing him. FTR is out and the Guns are out and we're getting a best of 7 and they tease it starting tonight and...instead it starts at the PPV. Okay, just make TNT Tag Titles if you're going to have folks spin their wheels. 

Reed vs. Okada is up and the no cap splash hits, 450 misses, rainmaker wins it. Mojo Brookzz is with New Level and they hype up the trios tag title match on the PPV. Triangle of Madness vs. Mone and Divine Dominion is up heels in Divine and Mone avoid octopus stretches and get sideslams. Corner boots to Skye by DD and the German by Bayne gets 2. SKYE GETS A DESTROYER but Bayne hits a soaring lariat! Black mist from Julia and the curb stomp from Thekla beats Lena! 

Ciampa and Joe tag is up against Andrade and Ospreay. Andrade gets 2 off a froggybody to Joe. Good back and forth with Ciampa and Will but Ciampa gets the apron DDT and Joe chokes out Andrade! And that's it for Dynamite - Collision starts off with Ospreay tending to Andrade. We get some Death Riders stuff with Renee talking to Jon about his pain and he's in a lot of pain - and he can't tell the difference and Marina fires him up. Ace Austin vs. Ricochet is up and I can see an upset here. Rico's SSP misses and a hook kick hits! Spirit gun wins it for Ricochet. Bucks interrupt DCF sit-down. Roberts brings out Nick Wayne and he brags before Jericho is out and we get Five For Fighting's "Superman" for a Nick Wayne highlight video before Jericho shows one looking good and Jericho apologizes to get a rematch and kicks him in the balls.

Joe and Ciampa hype up the PPV. Okay, I like Joe and Ciampa's characters being allies - it makes sense and you can have them wreck shop in the tag title scene whenever. Hyan and Dani face Britt and Persephone. Persephone's theme hits so hard with that starting siren and Perse's charisma has skyrocketed with this Britt run. Britt has the Terrible Towel in enemy territory and Perse hits a tope to Hyan! Dani gets a random armhold by Dani and they hype up the Tailgate Brawl show for the PPV. Superplex by Dani to Britt and Perse eats a powerbomb for 2. Hyan blind tags in to hit a PK after Perse gets a German on Dani. Britt gets a ripcord elbow and 3 handle credenza for 2 to Perse's shock! Dani runs Britt into Perse and a block, but a schoolboy wins it for Dani! Post-match beating by the heels and Aminata saves.

Mystery video before Darby vs. Hechi and Hechi hits an Alabama slam facebuster on the apron. Hechi prevents Doc Sampson from checking out Darby and a dragon screw off the apron by Hechi. Darby gets a cradle out of the corner for 2. Massive elbow gets 2 for Hechi. Darby traps him in the ring skirt and smashes the hand. LOWPE BY DARBY and the coffin drop wins it. Okada and the DCF attack Darby and a TUE brawl ends it. Okada dropkicks Ospreay and WE GET COPE VS. OKADA! IMPALER TO OKADA! "Ricochet and Callis are best friends - THEY GOLFED BEFORE!" killed me. That was a great skit too. Joe is here and he brawls with Take. 100 year old brawl and coffin drop into the pile. 

 

 

WWE Raw 10-12-26

 

MITB recap and Joe Tess kills all the suspense for the 946 by just being Joe Tess. Penta is out with a cool custom case and pyro. He thanks the fans and JeVon tells him he earned it. Rey vs. Cass WITH A JOBBER INTRO AGAIN and he elbows his way out of a 619 to a YOU STILL SUCK chant. Dragon Lee attacks Cass and REY WINS!? Oh man is Cass done. Pearce tells the ref to let things slide. Liv is a bitch to Chelsea, who is such a good babyface and Chelsea vs. Perez is made because sure why not. Chelsea hits goons with a dive and throws Liv over the desk and Pop Rocks wins it...um well that's odd. Horrid booking for Chelsea here.

Oba struts out and Heyman rambles and Oba tells him he's not a Heyman guy, he's an Oba Femi guy! Lyra does her annoying gimmick to set up her vs. Iyo and maybe Chelsea faces Roxy one day. Gable vs. Fenix is up and Gable is out BUT BEFORE THAT, we get Solo arguing with LA. FENIX GETS NO INTRO boy howdy. Back and forth sends Gable to the floor off a vaulting leg lift before a break. Outside-in destroyer is met with a northern lights by Gable. Moonsault and Angle slam gets 2 for Gable. Fenix gets a tornado kick for 2. Catching superkick gets 2 for Fenix as does a Gable deadlift German. MASSIVE moonsault block by Fenix gets 2.9! ROPEWALK PK BY FENIX AND THE FROG SPLASH GETS 2. Back and forth ankle locks before Gable gets a grapevine BUT FENIX MAKES THE ROPES! MMB turned into a mid-ring ankle grapevine ankle lock for the win!

AN AD FOR HEEL SUPERVILLAIN MICHAEL HAYES AIRS and Becky bitches. 946 hops out of their panel truck. 946 has no theme which is a better move than this Usos theme and Solo is just...doing his normal intro. Brawl and Joe Tess just ruins everything with his call of THIS HAS NO STRUCTURE OF A MATCH well thanks. Jey gets a whisper to the floor on a pile and IS THANKFULLY CAUGHT. PEW PEW PEW PEW HIP ATTACK and spinning Solo gets 2 when Parker takes out the ref. Dive by Jimmy onto Bronco off the steps. Jey with a balcony dive and Parker dives too. Samoan drop off the steps through the announce table by Solo! Superfly dive and the spike to Keys is up BUT A NEW MEMBER OF 946 IS HERE! IT'S CARMELO HAYES! Tess just calls him Carmelo FRIGGIN Hayes. ugh. Jim eats a beating. 

Tess kills more of this by saying THEY'RE RADIATING VIOLENCE and we get more of a beating and whatever. 

AEW Collision Grand Slam France 10-10-26

 

Mixed fight with the Riders and Conglomeration starts us off and it's a tornado match, and it should be a riot. Mox is on comms and chews out Danny for rolling around before Marina and KOR go for an armbar exchange. OVERHAND EXCHANGES by Willow and Marina! Roddy and Willow chop away at Claudio and OC takes him down with a satellite DDT. Area code headscissor driver by Marina to OC! CLAUDIO HITS DANNY WITH AN UPPERCUT ON THE FLOOR AND A FLIP SELL! DEATH RIDERS HUDDLE DURING THE BREAK!

They talk about the huddle and Excalibur talks about it being tough since Will fell ass over teakettle and it's a TORNADO OF BADASSERY and they just came up with it on live TV and it's fun! GIANT SWING TO OC BY CLAUDIO! KOR avoids an uppercut and hits a flying knee! RODDY AND MARINA GO AT IT AND Willow uses a senton to get Roddy out of the mother's milk! BUSAIKU KNEES BY YUTA! ASSISTED NEUTRALIZER WINS IT! Nick Wayne and Jericho is up with Nick Wayne in yet another cheap as hell entrance robe.

Walk and brawl before Nick counters an axehandle with a dropkick and the avalanche rana hits Nick in ALL FOUR CORNERS. Jericho's got the French flag colors for JERICHO on his gear too. Nick gets a low blow and cradle for 2 and WAYNE'S WORLD WINS IT! Takeshita wants gold in Clockwork Carnage! Qualifier is up with Moriarty against Speedball. Some cool matrix freeze kicks and counters before a cradle gets 2 on Moriarty. Tornado kick in the corner and Ultima Weapon wins it! Ricochet wants in Clockwork Carnage as a result of being the first National Champion and he'll face Ace on Dynamite. Swerve vs. Carlie Bravo is up and Swerve shines in a solid outing with the draping neckbreaker acting as a setup for the rolling flatliner and the House call, which is just a calf kick really now and the swerve stomp wins it. 

Kidd and the Death Riders are backstage and the Riders give Kidd some structure to his promo because he brings up RATS but it doesn't dominate the framework. Marina cuts a killer promo about it being the Death Riders against the world and now it's Mox vs. Davis at Wrestle Dream. Oku and Blair are out to face Andrade for the National title. Oku gets a driving knee for 2. Shotgun knees, elbow of death and the DM win it for Andrade. 

He's waiting for the right time to cash in his contract but CIAMPA WANTS GOLD so boom and they shake and Ciampa gives him the kiss of death AND THE FANS SING CIAMPA'S THEME! Ciampa lays him out with the knee and holds the belt. Sisters of Sin, WRATHLANDER, and Divine Dominion. 

Birds are out for commentary, but mainly to take free bread and booze - just copious amounts of booze and bread. And they just ramble on between drinks before brawling breaks out and Hayter goes DING DING DING!

They talk about Lena's feet and Ex says there's no kink shaming, which Hayter reiterates. They share with Arkady and exclude Nigel and they talk about how good carbs are and they tell Tony to not worry about how fat he is. And everyone makes points and gets confused because there's 200 people on commentary. Nigel brings up everyone in this wanting the Brits with the tits and we get a few double teams. STEREO TOWER OF DOOM BY WRATHLANDR! Stat hits a double rana off the chokeslam attempt and Hartless is turned into night fever! 

Dogs vs. Bucks are up and they have a fun brawl and basically a tornado match before a double superkick and the BTE trigger wins it. It's been a crazy night of wrestling, but Collision was a better overall show than MITB easily - way more fun. JetSpeed vs. The Bucks are up for the PPV and they beat up the Bucks!
