“THIS WEEKEND ON WOW – WOMEN OF WRESTLING
Frenemies
Coach Campanelli claims to have the answer to Top Tier’s problems, but her “solution” isn’t what anyone expected. The Enlightened step into their biggest test yet, a shot at The WOW World Trios Championship. Under the command of The IQ Superior Samantha Smart, Dr. Pam Demonium, Nova Sky, and Miranda The Mindful are sent into battle against the Champions, Monsters & Metal: Chainsaw, Daisy Lane, and Fury. Samantha Smart’s quest to gild her empire in gold could end in enlightenment…or annihilation. In the aftermath of Coach Campanelli’s cutthroat “weakest link” strategy, Gloria Glitter faces The Albanian Grappler, Xena Phoenix, in a tense singles clash. With the pressure mounting, the question isn’t just who wins, but whether Coach really does know best… or has gone too far. And in the Main Event, tensions finally boil over as former friends and partners collide; with betrayal, bad blood, and new alliances in play. It’s Best 4 Business: Kara Kai and Sandy Shore vs. Ashley Blaze and Tara Strike.”

🟥 NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE (NWA)
Powerrr — April 21, 2026
Full Review & Analysis
The April 21 edition of NWA Powerrr from the PowerrrStation in Tampa delivered a tight, territory‑style show that spotlighted rising prospects, showcased the Junior Heavyweight division, and closed with a heated No Limits main event. The episode leaned heavily on in‑ring action, with several matches giving younger talent meaningful shine.
🥇 Junior Heavyweight #1 Contender’s Triple Threat
Damian Fenrir def. Ethan Tornadeau & Alex Misery This opener was fast, athletic, and exactly what the Junior division is supposed to be. Tornadeau hit the flashiest offense — including a gorgeous shooting star press — but Fenrir’s power and timing won out. He snatched Tornadeau off a pin attempt and drilled him with the Lightning Bomb for the victory. Fenrir sold a knee injury throughout, which became important immediately after.
Verdict: Strong opener, great pacing, and Tornadeau looked like a future star.
🏆 NWA Junior Heavyweight Championship
Spencer Slade (c) def. Damian Fenrir Fenrir went straight from his Triple Threat win into a title match, still limping. Aron Stevens made sure the champ had every advantage, tripping Fenrir behind the referee’s back. Slade worked the knee relentlessly, mixing suplexes with grinding mat control. Fenrir fought back with heart — including a top‑rope crossbody for a near fall — but his knee buckled on a shotgun lariat attempt. Slade locked in the SladeLock for the submission.
Verdict: Classic “injured challenger” story. Fenrir gained credibility even in defeat.
💀 Bonez (w/ Brandon McCord) def. Gaagz the Gymp
A short, character‑driven match. Bonez looked dominant, and Gaagz played his usual chaotic role. Not a standout bout, but it served its purpose.
💥 Pretty Boy Smooth (w/ Pastor C‑Lo) def. Big Cuzzo
A heavyweight clash with some rough edges. The post‑match angle was the real highlight: Trevor Murdoch stormed in and hit Smooth with a top‑rope bulldog, setting up a future feud.
🚂 Pretty City Express def. Jack ’n Eddie
CLAS & Devin Reno continue to build momentum. The big story here is that Jack Valor and Eddie Grayson are only 18 years old, and they held their own against a polished team. A promising showcase for the youngest prospects on the roster.
🔥 MAIN EVENT — No Limits Match
Bryan Idol def. Carnage This was a wild, weapons‑legal brawl built around Idol seeking revenge after Carnage cost him a title shot. Carnage dominated large stretches and nearly powerbombed Idol out of the ring to the floor. The finish came when Thom Latimer ran in with a chair to save Idol — legal under No Limits rules — allowing Idol to capitalize and score the win.
Verdict: Carnage looked like a monster, Idol looked gutsy, and Latimer’s involvement keeps the storyline moving.
🎯 Overall Show Rating: 7.5/10
Strengths:
Strong Junior division storytelling
Young talent showcased effectively
Main event delivered intensity and storyline progression
Weaknesses:
One mid‑card match dragged
Idol needing help may undercut his babyface momentum (as noted by fan analysts)
Final Take: A classic, territory‑flavored episode with meaningful matches, rising stars, and a main event that felt chaotic in all the right ways.
Ed: “Fans, that was a pier‑six brawl if I’ve ever seen one!”
Gordon: “Quite so. A most brutal affair with championship implications.”

📰 CMLL News & Rumors
Injuries at the April 20th show including Mistico. thecubsfan.com reported; “Tiger – the Puebla Black Tiger – seemed to have a medical incident after the finish of his match. He took a top rope frankensteiner with no obvious issue on the landing, but his eyes were closed, and he didn’t move much, taking the finishing pin. Referee Metalico was concerned after the pin, checked on Tiger, and then seemed to move away like he was OK. Tiger’s arms continued to shake while he was otherwise motionless on the mat. A crowd cut later, a paramedic and a doctor were in the ring, attending to Tiger as he continued to shake. More medical personnel followed, and all seemed very concerned. CMLL went to long crowd shots and showed the ring very little until Black Tiger was loaded onto a stretcher. Luchadors do sometimes sell in this situation, but the urgency in the medical care and that he kept shaking even as they were checking on him made it appear genuine. There was no medical update on him from CMLL. Most of the usual media outlets that cover Puebla shows didn’t happen to cover this one, or at least didn’t post anything about it. I couldn’t find anything on Facebook with more info. No one seemed that concerned except people watching the stream, so I guess we’ve got to cross our fingers and hope Tiger was doing a work for no reason and so well that he even fooled the doctors.
Mistico’s left leg injury here was obviously not as serious, but it also put some pieces together. Mistico and Volador should’ve had a singles match on this show, given what they set up last week. Clon and Mistico should’ve had a singles match in Coliseo a couple of weeks back. Hechicero and Mistico should’ve had that singles match in Vegas. Neither Mistico nor the doctor seems particularly surprised his leg was bugging him here; they got it wrapped quickly as if they’d been preparing it to be an issue. I think (and it has since also been suggested to me) that Mistico’s been working through an injury for a while. They’re trying to manage it while working tag matches, the Mistico/Hechicero match got changed because he can’t risk it in a long singles match, and the other singles matches didn’t happen for the same reason. It would be nice if CMLL had figured that out before putting Mistico in those matches, or at least explained why he wasn’t in them, but that seems to be the deal – Mistico’s hurt enough that he (and they) are being cautious with him, but not so much that they’re sitting him down. I hope that’s clear enough for the aggregators.”
Coming up on April 24th as reported by thecubsfan.com: “Reyna Isis was on the Homenaje a Dos Leyendas card, her first match since December. She was pulled off the show days before, with CMLL Informa announcing she was injured. She went on Instagram, saying it was fake news and that she was simply waiting for a doctor to sign off on clearance, which would take two weeks for unclear reasons. She’s now back about four weeks later.”
🎙️ DESK OUTRO
Ed: “Fans, while we await the Crockett Cup, Powerrr and Super Viernes show neither the NWA nor CMLL are slowing down.”
Gordon: “Indeed. A most compelling time across the wrestling landscape. And with that… so long from the wrestling world.”
