WWE Raw 9-28-26

 

Well, it's been a crazy weekend with the loss of Pac yesterday - just one day after his match with Andrade that feels like it was forever ago. Raw starts with a tribute graphic to him before a 946-Bloodline video and Solo getting kidnapped and left out to dry. Usos and Jacob are out and they're babyfaces at least here. Jaida Parker arrives in an SUV and the Bloodline goes after it not knowing who's in there. 

Rey and Dragon Lee are here and Penta and JeVon are here and Lola is out to face Roxy for an MITB slot. Penta and JeVon face JD and Dom later and Lola dominates with knees to the stomach. RNC attempt is turned into Roxy slamming her back into the announce table and steps before getting a northern lights. Lola hits a few assalanches for 2. Roxy gets a double-jump moonsault for 2 after a draping uppercut to the neck.  Lola gets the spinning backfist for the win - good, she needed a definitive win here. This should have been her debut. Raquel and Sol brawl before a tejana bomb and pop rocks. Well okay that was...not great for Lola. 

946 video says no one is safe. Okay then. O-BA! O-BA! O-BA! His mic goes wonky recapping this feud and says Bronson missed Mania, KOTR, and Summerslam - BUT HE IS THE CAPTAIN NOW! He's got a contract ready to go for MITB and it's requiring Reed's signature. Reed says he isn't Brock - he's here to dethrone the ruler. Reed signs and then they just walk away. Dragon Lee vs. Cass is up BUT FIRST Iyo and Lyra bicker with Pearce. Dragon Lee gets his full intro, but Cass's is cut off for a WrestlePalooza ad. Cass gets a stinger splash with Lee draped over the top. 

Cass clubs away and gets a chokeslam on the apron after missing a boot against the post and Cass presses him into the ring. Cass gets a Corbinlock! Lee dropkicks him into the buckle off the knee and then a corner dropkick! Lee gets a weird sorta standing octopus and the hidden blade hits for 2! Cass wants a chokeslam but gets rolled up with a bridge and Lee wins it. WELP, Cass' ceiling is low and you can't teach that. Jacob says they gotta stick together...dun dun dun! 

Vaquer backstage bit and then LA Knight gets a hype video saying he's undeniable after the Bloodline cost him before and he challenges Roman to not have the family there. Iyo vs. Lyra is up with a tieup and Lyra gets a rocking horse before an...odd-looking inverted crab. Iyo gets caught on the ropes and kicked. Iyo gets a tope to the floor and DOES THE POINT! PAM helps Iyo get the moonsault and is wearing a BEN armband. 

Knight meets with the Bloodline and shit is going down. Fenix is hyped up with is win at Worlds Collide that hasn't aired yet and now he can go brand to brand. JD and Dom are out to face JeVon and Penta with Penta in a cool red jacket. Dom trips on Penta on the floor. Dom eats overhand chops on the ropes from both guys and JeVon accidentally hits Penta with the cutter and Joe comes in and sings and Evans hits JD before a Mexican destroyer wins. Joe's gimmick has jumped the shark. 

Breakker is out and charges through JeVon. Becky and Liv bicker. Sol and Vice team up next week and Fenix vs. Page is set up next week and Roman returns. Liv vs. Becky determines who faces Vaquer at MITB. 946 arrives and beats up goons before the Bloodline is out quickly. Usos brawl and the dive meats Bronco and he catches him into a toss into the post. Keys chairshots Fatu a few times but Fatu fights back and gets the hip attack! Loading dock brawl and Jacob beats the shit out of Keys with a chair and table toss. 

They fight in JAIDA'S SUV and Jaida runs over Fatu and IT'S A SWERVE BRO she's with 946! Okay, this needed a physical angle and this worked and added a new cast member to things with a show-long story that made sense in hindsight. 

AEW ALL OUT 2026

 

We've got a Tailgate Brawl tonight with Perry vs. Shibata in what should be a really fun match and a literal tailgate with them as Perry and Luchasaurus are preparing hot dogs for fans in the parking lot. Shibata vs. Perry starts off and SHIBATA GETS HIS FULL INTRO! Perry wants to dominate on the mat and that goes poorly, so he wants a strike exchange and that goes worse. Then it's just TONS of back and forth overhand and knife-edge chops including a cool one on the barricade during the break. RANA BY SHIBATA!? Turned into a PK countered INTO A SNARETRAP! Dropkick by Perry and a Tiger driver gets 2! Perry wants the knee BUT EATS A MASSIVE CHOP! Corner chops by Shibata set up a snapmare and sleeper BUT THE BRET PIN WINS IT!

JOE IS BACK to JOE JOE JOE chants because HE'S JOE! Joe headbutts him off the demand of a handshake which like...yeah Joe's not wrong there. Sisters of Sin are here to face Aminata and Mina. Nice work with Mina getting 2 off a tornillo to the ring as Skye rocks the Chicago flag. Handspring forearm by Skye to Queen. There's a fantastic exchange with Tony talking about Julia's evolution from cheerleader to now and Taz says it's the business and then they bring up him ever being a happy person and he says the streets have no name and Ex says they do, it's how you tell them apart and it's all just glorious. Queen gets a swinging fisherman neckbreaker on Skye! Code Blue on Mina wins it! 

Mick chats with the Bang Bang Gang and COACH JUICE and they're goofy. TAILGATE BRAWL TIME MNF intros for the football match for the babyfaces and JAY WHITE DOES THE HEISMAN POSE and hits a swanton to the floor. FAMOUSER ON THE KEG TO FINLAY! THE COACHES BATTLE AND MY MONEY'S ON MARINA! THE FOLD TO FINLAY! BLADERUNNER TO YUTA ENDS IT WITH 50 SECONDS TO SPARE!

Cool generational hype video hyping up Borden. PAC vs. Andrade starts things off. German hits for 2.5! Pac hits the Tito forearm after a floor brawl and Pac DENIES THE PANTS but then Andrade gets them off...eventually... POP-UP TORNILLO HITS! SELFIE SPOT BUT MARINA ATTACKS AND FLIPS HIM OFF until Pac hits a moonsault block on the floor! 450 OFF THE LITERAL TOP ROPE by Pac gets 2! AVALANCHE RANA TO ANDRADE and the elbow of death hits and he rolls outside! BELLY TO BELLY BY PAC TO ANDRADE AGAINST THE BARRICADE for a 9.5 count. BLACK ARROW MISSES and Marina prevents the DM! POISON RANA HITS AND THE LARIAT HITS! BRUTALIZER IS TURNED INTO A CRADLE TO WIN IT!

IT'S STEVE and Darby time! Cool hype video for the talent involved, but focusing on Borden. Sexy Steve runs wild with punches and backhands... JAYSUS a massive dropkick to Knight. Hot tag to Borden leads to tackles and clotheslines to STEVE chants. Borden and Knight go to recreate the Ricochet rumble mid-air spot and that's a ref stoppage for the head bonk and Arkady just sounds bored. Steven hit hard on his head there too and that's tough. 

Persephone is up for the TBS Title and it's Dani Luna! Big tieup and she overpowers Persy before Brit chokes her on the rope. Dani is so good that she's got the crowd into this match despite Borden's injury. SLINGSHOT BLUE THUNDER BOMB BY DANI GETS 2! APRON GERMAN WITH A BRIDGE BY PERSY! DEADLIFT BACK SUPLEX GETS 2 FOR DANI! Fireman's carry bomb gets 2.5 when Britt pulls Dani's hair AND DANI TOPES HER! The Bomb hits and wins it! These two were in a literally impossible spot and STILL won the crowd over, so kudos to them for that.

Ciampa vs. Okada is up and they have a good match until Okada goes for flip Ciampa's daughter off until Jessie Ward tells her it's okay to flip him off so it's DOUBLE BIRD TIME! Release German by Ciampa BUT THE DROPKICK HITS! Project Ciampa hits and THE DROPKICK HITS BUT THE RAINMAKER DOESN'T. THE KNEE HITS FOR 2.9! CIAMPA HITS HIS OWN OKADA DROPKICK! Okada avoids a rainmaker and gets a shortarm lariat! RAINMAKER FLOWSION! RAINMAKER WINS IT!

Nigel is out for the show starting with the women's tag title match. Walk and brawling birds until Lena lands a powerbomb off the apron. Nasty cane shots from Bayne to WINDSAH before Bayne gets sliced up. Bayne gets a barricade and the birds double suplex Lena into a corner barricade. HAYTER EATS A CORNER DVD INTO A BARB WIRE BOARD! KROSS HAS TACKS! 2 birds one stone on the tacks and Jamie just gets tacks all in her ass. Ouch. Lena was laughing throughout the pin too, so hey, maybe she got some in a rather wacky place.

Trios title time and the New Level's is Flash and Swerve is reverse Flash. Fulcrum kick by Kofi to Bandido and then the froggy body gets 2 for Kofi. Swerve dances and Hanger calls him a motherfucker before they go at it 2 years after ALL OUT's bloodbath. Brody tope and Bandido hits a ringpost moonsault! BUCKSHOT! HOUSE CALL AND THE BIG PRESSURE WIN IT! 

Thekla vs. Willow is up and Thekla is the coolest person on Earth! Nice stiff fast-paced match here. MASSIVE forearm by Thekla! SPIDERWALK SPEAR GETS 2! SPIDERWALK BY WILLOW before a Phenomenal Combo by Thekla! The Sisters attack but Julia gets taken out and a belt shot misses and gets 2 for Willow. Curb stomp wins it! BIG D MONE IS OUT IN MJ GEAR!

Three-way ladder match for the tag belts is up and Cope thankfully has bright green and not babyshit green on to pay homage to the WM 2000 ladder match that was basically the first TLC match. FTR have ceremonial FTR belts that look pretty good. CHAIR USAGE with Ladders and Tables on the floor. Stereo bulldogs from the Bucks to FTR on chairs! A superkick into the chair slices Cage open above the left eye. Cope goes into a corner ladder and Cage is sliced up so much it's bleeding all over. MATT WITH A DOUBLE SLICED BREAD TO FTR!

Cage and Cash hit splashes  after Cope eats a suplex onto a ladder off a ladder! Backstabber double stomp to Cash and then Cage eats one off the ladder. 450 BY NICK ON THE FLOOR TO DAX! IMPALER TO MATT AND THE TABLE DOESN'T BREAK! AVALNCHE KILLSWITCH TO NICK! SPIKE PILEDRIVER ON THE APRON TO COPE! MELTZER DRIVER ON THE FLOOR TO DAX! Bucks dive off ladders to Cope and Dax but CASH DIVES THROUGH A LADDER TO CAGE!

SPEAR TO MATT BY COPE! AVALANCHE SHATTER MACHINE FROM A LADDER! Hockey fight UP TOP AND THE BTE TRIGGER AND THE BUCKS WIN IT! Goddamn! A return is hyped and it's not Toni - but WARDLOW! MAIN EVENT TIME! Mox gets his cool intro with Yuta carrying the belt. Ospreay gets an AC IV Resynced ad-inspired entrance and THEY BURN A DEATH RIDERS FLAG. 

Paradigm shift on the top rope by Mox! Mox GRINDS HIS FACE INTO THE STEPS TO SLICE HIM OPEN and hits Taz-ish crossfaces against the rope! Chops and the STF is on for Mox. Chops and forearms hit and Mox avoids a Clash. Mox wants the Deathground! Mox avoids another Clash, but sweeps the legs for an RNC! Powerbomb into a clash gets 2! Cutter gets 2.5 and the UE and Death Riders brawl. Ref's out and the Riders attack! 

Hidden blade but there's no ref. Speedball saves and shoves Marina BUT PAC ATTACKS WITH THE BRIEFCASE AND ANDRADE HITS THE ELBOW OF DEATH! WILL ABSORBS A PARADIGM SHIFT AND GETS A HIDDEN BLADE!

STORMBREAKER GETS 2! Mox stares into his fate and eats a hidden blade knowing he made his own monster and we get a Sons of Anarchy finish! Mox grabs the belt and gives it to him to christen him as the man officially. They shake and Mox gives him the ring. 

AEW Dynamite and Collision 9-23-26

 

It's a three hour show-ish with two-ish hours of Dynamite and an hour-ish of Collision and we start off with Demand versus the Swerve Level and Ricochet is ANNOYED BY THE NEW LEVEL BECAUSE THEY AREN'T A REAL TEAM! Creed runs through all of Swerve's bizarre history in AEW and Kofi asks if he had friends here before them and he can't answer before his theme hits and they come out. THE FANS DO NOT SHOW SOME LOVE FOR THE DEMAND! Ricochet gets a bird flip in during a cobra twist on Creed. Triple impact on the floor gets 2! A HOUSE CALL HITS TOA AND ALLOWS FOR THE SOS TO WIN! This was fun. 

Hangman calls out Swerve and Swerve tells him than he's no better than he is. Ospreay asks Speedball to join the United Empire and he agrees. Thekla says that there's two bitches - a happy one and one that will stick their teeth in and THEKLA IS FOR THE CHILDREN AND Saturday, things get TOXIC! Mox vs. Dezmond Xavier is up in an eliminator and Mox stomps the arm and wins with an RNC. COPE chats with Darby and Steve! and Cope is annoyed at him reaching for LEGENDS like he and Cage, he is being targeted now and Darby is now climbing a new mountain. 

Bucks are out and we get bickering and a brawl before Willow hypes up beating Thekla for the belt before and now she's more dangerous after having the gold. Ciampa and Doyle are out and Doyle eats a beating on the floor, but Doyle dominates during the break. Psycho Driller off the second and knee wins it and he bickers with Okada. Very strong "this show could have been an e-mail vibe" here. And Hyan vs. Perse isn't helping that. Britt with Perse works and Perse's theme is fantastic. Perse gets 2 off a victory roll and Britt is called a coach by Taz. Perse gets 2 off another rollup and Hyan avoids the splash mountain and Hyan gets a spear for 2 before Perse cheats to win with the ropes and the ref notices and it just didn't matter. 

United Empire Bailey is here with Ospreay to face the Riders' Kidd and Claudio. I guess Kidd is just in this group now and the Dogs are a team. Gabe gets flipped off on the way to the ring in a glorious way. Ospreay has Tana-ish gear and gets a pair of Bret-ish suplexes and a handspring enzuiguri for 2. Stereo armbar attempts but Claudio hurks Bailey onto Ospreay and a darting uppercut! Styles clash to Claudio for the win. Ospreay talks shit and Mox just glares at him and comes in and says DO YOU FEEL LIKE THE CHAMPION!? Before Gabe eats shit and tells Mox YA DAMN FUCKIN' RIGHT I FEEL LIKE THE CHAMPION! That's a great go-home...and also hey here's an hour of Collision.

Collision starts off with Perry bitching about not getting Joe, but instead getting Shibata - who is still a killer. Divine-Birds talking segment and they eat and then brawl and okay they kept it short. Roddy bitch and now it's time for JetFletch vs. the Outrunners and the brainbuster>UFO wins it after way too long a match and a KYLE H TAPDANCING FLETCHER sign is up and Fletcher says they're a family now and SATURDAY IS GONNA BE A CAKEWALK. rut roh. 

Borden and Darby are in the rafters and Darby points out that they aren't dumb enough to get jumped by the DCF. A sea of middle-aged men sing Jericho's theme before he comes out and banters with Nick Wayne about their parallels before Nick cuts a fantastic promo about needing to change and proving it at Grand Slam Paris and may THE MAN WHO KNOWS MORE WIN. Mercedes is out for commentary here at 10:49 and Skye Blue vs. Aminata is out in a strange match having seen their fantastic photoshoots together but this is...not good. Skye gets a terrible whip into a barricade before even worse forearms. A CHINLOCK AT 10:57 ARE YOU KIDDING ME! CRADLE CITY gets a ton of nearfalls. Skye slaps her and eats the queen's crown headbutt and off with her head facewash wins it.

Everyone brawls and Thekla saves and this show STILL HAS A MATCH IN IT with Pac vs. Ace and Britt and Perse face Rosa on Dynamite and Perse offers up an open challenge, but not to Maya, Hyan, or Rosa! Perse is such a good promo. Pac vs. Austin is up and Ace gets the deep squats DVD and Pac hits the black arrow and wins it before getting the Rings of Saturn and it's BRAWL OUT TIME! 

Raw 9-21-26

 

La Catalina gets BACK ON RAW thanks to MITB! She definitely made the right call to sign with WWE. They recap Penta vs. Reigns before Penta comes out as the coolest motherfucker alive and says he wants another shot BUT GETS JD AND DOM INSTEAD! They brawl and Penta wins and it's TO THE BACK for Jacob and the Usos ranting about 946. 

MITB Qualifier time for the women or Brant as Joe Tess calls it with Iyo out first. Catalina gets a Zelina SNME-level pop DESPITE WWE HAVING A VIDEO PACKAGE MADE FOR HER...Oh yeah maybe they should have aired the video package before the match instead of during the intro. Might've helped. Roxy is out last and we get some fun 3 way spots before Iyo smacks Roxy during a dive attempt. Cata hits a couple of corner hip attacks before a fisherman suplex gets 2. 

They show the lack of crowd and black abyss in the audience making it look like a Destination America-era TNA show. Cata gets 2 for a small package and a pump kick to Roxy. ROXY WINS BY STEALING THE PIN WHEN IYO MOONSAULTA CATA! I WAS KIDDING WITH THE TNA COMPARISON!

LA Knight is out and hypes up Roman vs. Penta and says yippy skippy and we get some YEAHs and he freezes and rambles. The Vision meets with Je'Von. Logan Paul telling Je'Von "you're even dumber than you look, bro!" is maybe not the line to use after he visits the Trump Administration and you're marketing a shirt for a black wrestler with fried chicken on it. Je'Von slaps him and we get MAYBE AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF BRON VS. JE'VON. Jevon gets an entrance and MAYBE WE'LL GET THE MATCH AND WE DO AFTER A BREAK.

JeVon overshoots something but lands a superkick off a spear attempt. JeVon avoids a corner spear and hits a basement trouble in paradise. Standing sliced bread gets 2 for Je'Von. Theory runs in for some bullshit and OBA RETURNS TO RUN WILD and Logan runs away scared.

Joe Hendry goofy bullshit video and OH BOY A JUDGMENT DAY PROMO! Liv rambles and is annoying before Becky calls out JORDAN DEVLIN MCDONAUGH and went mom mode on them and she talks about Referee Rebecca did a great job! Lyra is VERY SHINY and BAY-LEY is here to face her. Cena's PATCH CARD from WM gets 300K at auction and Bayley and Lyra have like every WWE 2K match ever before Bayley loses VIA SCHOOLGIRL! Hopefully she got permission from Lola Vice before stealing her finish like that. TERRIBLE backstage bit with Dragon, Gable and Ethan over the IC Title. Are they doing away with second takes? 

Adam Pearce signs Lola to a contract and she fights with Roxy and Bloodline is too late to save Solo from 946 as they kidnap him. Dom bickers about having to wrestle in an MITB qualifier with Solo being taken out and he'll face Dragon Lee AND PENTA!? Okay well that's smart. ​Okay so MITB is interesting now. Penta wins this, wins the case, and probably wins the title...but I see it being the SD World title that they're throwing around like a hot potato. Penta gets chops on both and Penta gets the driver on Dom for 2.5  Three amigos is avoided and the Cutthroat gets 2 for Lee. Springboard destroyer wins it for Penta.
