Tonight’s TNA iMPACT! from the Broadview Center in Albany, New York, was carried by two championship matches that could not have been more different. Nic Nemeth defended the TNA World Championship against KC Navarro in a main event designed to prove Navarro belonged at that level despite TNA doing very little beforehand to justify the … Read more
Rhea Ripley’s knee injury did not just remove the WWE Women’s Champion from SummerSlam. It exposed how much of WWE’s women’s division was built around one plan and how quickly everything underneath it began to collapse once Ripley was unavailable. WWE reportedly had a championship match between Jade Cargill and Charlotte Flair in mind for … Read more
TNA iMPACT! returns tonight with two championship matches, the final opening-round bouts in the TNA Knockouts Television Championship Tournament and one of the most personal TNA World Championship matches of Nic Nemeth’s reign.

Nic Nemeth became a two-time TNA World Champion at Slammiversary by defeating Mike Santana in a match that immediately established the contradiction at the heart of his second reign.

AEW entered Nashville for the final Dynamite before Redemption with one clear responsibility: make Sunday’s pay-per-view feel necessary. That was easier said than done.

AEW enters Nashville tonight with one final opportunity to make Redemption feel like an important pay-per-view instead of another stop on the road to All In. Last week’s Dynamite and Collision assembled nearly the entire card for Sunday, but building matches quickly and making people genuinely care about them are two different things. Kenny Omega … Read more
WWE NXT closed last night with the beginning of a completely new era in its men’s main-event scene. Tony D’Angelo finally put Naraku behind him by retaining the NXT Championship in a violent Street Fight, only for former two-time TNA World Champion Mike Santana to enter through the crowd and confront him moments later. Santana’s … Read more
The increasingly violent rivalry between NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo and Naraku reaches what should be its final destination tonight when they collide in a Street Fight for the NXT Championship.

Saturday Night’s Main … Read more
