🟣 DESK SEGMENT — ED & GORDON ON THE WEEK

Ed: “You know, partner, CMLL gave us speed, style, and spectacle — while the NWA gave us grit, controversy, and a whole lot of attitude!”

Gordon: “Indeed. A most fascinating juxtaposition — the elegance of lucha libre and the rugged intensity of the NWA, each compelling in its own right.”

📊 FAN POLL — This Week’s Question

Around the World of Pro Wrestling 6/20/26: MLW, WOW & Airica Demia.

🎙️ Desk intro

Ed: “Fans, we’ve got a double‑header on the slate—Major League Wrestling turning Fusion into a pressure cooker, and Women Of Wrestling continuing to build a superhero universe one episode at a time!”

Gordon: “Quite so. A most intriguing week, with championships changing hands, new titles emerging, and several athletes sharpening their profiles in meaningful ways.”

🔵 MLW Fusion — June 20, 2026 (Episode 200)

Venue: YouTube premiere Primary sources: Fightful results, MLW.com preview & news

Match 1: Soberano Jr. def. Neon

Soberano Jr. opened the show with a crisp lucha showcase, outpacing Neon and sealing the win to set the tone for the night.

Ed: “Soberano wrestled like gravity was just a suggestion—Neon never quite caught up to the speed.”

Backstage: Matt Riddle & Killer Kross

Riddle told Kross he’d already be MLW World Champion if not for Hammerstone; Kross warned him that Hammerstone is more dangerous than he realizes, foreshadowing bigger collisions to come.

Gordon: “A most ominous caution—when a man like Kross calls someone dangerous, one would be wise to listen.”

Match 2: Scarlett Bordeaux def. Blair Onyx

Scarlett picked up a key win over Blair Onyx, continuing her push as a featured act in MLW’s women’s division and tying into MLW’s own hype about “bringing the Smokeshow” to Fusion 200.

NJPW tease

A brief segment teased MLW‑related news involving New Japan Pro Wrestling, adding another wrinkle to the promotion’s growing network of partnerships.

Match 3: Alex Hammerstone def. Último Guerrero

Hammerstone beat lucha legend Último Guerrero, reinforcing his status as a top‑tier powerhouse and keeping him firmly in the world‑title conversation.

Ed: “Hammerstone looked like a man hauling a boulder uphill—and then throwing it back down on his opponent!”

Shotzi’s Monster Hunt & Krule’s return

Shotzi’s “monster hunt” vignette culminated in her reviving Mads Krule Krügger, adding a horror‑movie edge to Fusion. Later, Hammerstone confronted Riddle and they brawled, further heating up the main‑event scene.

Gordon: “A most theatrical development—yet beneath the spectacle lies a very real threat in Krule.”

MLW National Openweight Championship

Austin Aries def. Blue Panther (c) to win the title

Aries ended Blue Panther’s reign to capture the National Openweight Championship, a major pivot point for Fusion 200 and a centerpiece of MLW’s own coverage that day.

Ed: “Aries didn’t just take the belt—he yanked the whole division onto his timetable.”

Skyscrapers, Shotzi & Krule

The Skyscrapers (Bishop Dyer & Donovan Dijak) confronted Shotzi in her locker room, then later attacked Krule and Shotzi after Krule’s match, only for the Good Brothers (Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson) to make the save—setting up a multi‑team collision course.

Match 4: Zamaya def. Lili Ruiz

Zamaya scored a win over Lili Ruiz, tying into MLW’s recent push of her “Major League Z” branding.

Match 5: Mistico def. Templario

In a featured lucha libre showdown, Mistico defeated Templario, delivering on MLW’s advance hype and giving Fusion 200 a marquee international main event.

Gordon: “A most elegant contest—high risk, high precision, and a decisive victory for Mistico.”

Match 6: Mads Krule Krügger def. Bishop Dyer

Krule beat Bishop Dyer, but the post‑match beatdown by the Skyscrapers and the subsequent Good Brothers save made it clear this rivalry is far from over.

Ed: “That ring looked less like a wrestling match and more like a demolition site by the end of it!”

📰 MLW news & rumors

  • Fusion 200 milestone: MLW framed this episode as a landmark show, stacking it with title matches and marquee names like Mistico, Hammerstone, Riddle, Kross, and Aries.
  • Southern Crown Championship: MLW has been teasing the new Southern Crown Championship, with participants revealed and the title positioned as a fresh “road to glory.”
  • Women’s division focus: Official previews highlighted Scarlett Bordeaux and Zamaya as key figures, signaling a continued investment in women’s wrestling on Fusion.
  • Cross‑promotional hints: The NJPW tease on Fusion plus MLW’s own site chatter suggest more international crossover on the horizon.

Gordon: “A most expansive direction—new championships, international partnerships, and a deepening women’s roster all point to sustained growth.”

🟣 Women Of Wrestling — WOW Superheroes (June 20, 2026)

WOW status snapshot

  • Syndicated model: WOW continues to air in a syndicated format across U.S. markets, often on weekend slots, with episodes cycling through ongoing storylines built around superhero personas and clear babyface/heel dynamics.
  • Roster identity: The promotion leans heavily into character‑driven presentation—masked heroes, comic‑book‑style names, and strong emphasis on empowerment and accessibility for younger fans.
  • Storytelling style: Feuds are usually straightforward—betrayals, jealous partners, title chases—designed to be easy to follow for casual viewers and families.

Ed: “WOW keeps leaning into that superhero vibe—bright colors, big characters, and stories you can follow in one episode.”

Gordon: “Indeed. A most accessible presentation, yet one that still affords room for athleticism and competitive spirit.”

🧵 Spotlight segment — talking about Airica Demia / Anya Rune

Ed: “Now, partner, before we wrap, there’s a name that keeps popping up in conversations about the women’s scene—Airica Demia, also known as Anya Rune.”

Gordon: “Quite so. A most intriguing performer, particularly within the independent circuit.”

Who she is

  • Independent presence: Airica Demia/Anya Rune is best understood as a modern indie‑style performer—someone building a reputation through smaller promotions, social media, and character‑driven branding rather than a single national TV platform.
  • Character work: The “Rune” persona suggests a darker, mystical or occult‑tinged presentation—exactly the kind of identity that can stand out in both traditional indies and superhero‑style environments like WOW.
  • Upside: Wrestlers in her lane often get noticed for:
    • Versatility (working different opponents and styles)
    • Look & aura (gear, makeup, entrance)
    • Promo presence (short, punchy social clips, character monologues, etc.)

Ed: “She’s the kind of talent where you see one entrance, one promo, and you remember the name—that’s half the battle in this business.”

Gordon: “A most valuable trait. In an era of content saturation, distinctiveness is as critical as technical proficiency.”

How she fits into the broader landscape

  • In MLW‑style environments, a character like Anya Rune could slot into the more supernatural or edgy corners of the roster—think Krule, Shotzi’s monster‑hunt vibe, or the Smokeshow presentation, but with her own twist.
  • In WOW‑style environments, the superhero framing gives room for a “dark mage” or “arcane” archetype—perfect for someone whose branding leans into runes, ritual, or mysticism.

Ed: “If the right promotion gives her a spotlight and lets that persona breathe, she could be one of those ‘where did she come from?’ breakout stories.”

Gordon: “Indeed. A most promising prospect, provided opportunity and execution align.”

🎙️ Desk outro

Ed: “So this week, Fusion hits 200 with title changes and monster hunts, WOW keeps building its superhero universe, and names like Mistico, Aries, Shotzi—and yes, Airica Demia—keep shaping what tomorrow’s wrestling landscape might look like.”

Gordon: “Quite. A most fascinating moment in time, where established promotions and emerging talents intersect in ways that may well define the next era of the sport.”

Around the World of Pro Wrestling 5/20/26: NWA and CMLL

🎙️ Rundown — NWA & CMLL

Presented by Ed & Gordon.

🟦 DESK INTRO

Ed: “Fans, the rings have been rattling from Atlanta to Arena México! The National Wrestling Alliance is tightening the screws heading into summer, and CMLL just lit up Friday night with a card that had the crowd shaking the walls!”

Gordon: “Quite right. Both promotions have delivered consequential developments — champions tested, alliances strained, and momentum shifting in fascinating ways.”

Around the World of Pro Wrestling 5/13/26: NWA and CMLL

🎙️ Rundown — NWA & CMLL

Presented by Ed & Gordon

🟦 DESK INTRO

Ed: “Fans, the action from the National Wrestling Alliance and CMLL this past week has been hotter than a depot stove! Powerrr kept the COMET era rolling, and Super Viernes lit up Arena México with the kind of electricity only lucha libre can deliver!”

Gordon: “Indeed. A most eventful week — championships threatened, rivalries sharpened, and momentum shifting across both promotions.”

🟥 NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE (NWA)

Current Direction

The Crockett Cup is looming, the World Title picture is boiling, and the COMET era continues to define the new identity of Powerrr.

🟧 NWA POWERRR — MAY 9, 2026 (FULL MATCH‑BY‑MATCH REVIEW)

📺 COMET TV — Studio‑style presentation, tight pacing, heavy storyline focus.

Location: OC Theatre in Forney, TX. Commentators: Joe Galli and Tim Storm with Da Pope.

🔥 MATCH 1 — Crockett Cup Quarterfinal Match: The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and “Machine Gun” Karl Anderson)(No. 2 seed) vs. The SlimeBallz (Sage Chantz and Tommy Rant, with Aron Stevens) (No. 10 Seed)

Anderson starts the match by chopping Rant. Good Brothers dominate with Slimeballz trying to make a comeback before Gallows hits a roundhouse on Chantz. A Magic Killer and the Good Brothers advance.

Kyle Davis joins the Good Brothers in the ring where The SlimeBallz offer a Too Slimy in congratulations, but Anderson and Gallows just walk away.

Ed: “Fans, that’s raw horsepower on display!”

The Southern Six discuss their elimination in the Crockett Cup. Alex Taylor and Kerry Morton argue until NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion, Silas Mason sets them straight.

🔥 MATCH 2 — Crockett Cup Quarterfinal Match: The Titans of Calamity (Jack Talos and Ren Ayabe) (No. 16 Seed) vs. El Dragón Nihan and Thom Latimer (No. 9 Seed)

The Titans are coming off of an upset of the NWA World Tag Team Champions, The Immortals. Latimer is pursuing his first Crockett Cup despite a ton of success in the NWA. He and Ayabe start out shoving, Latimer with a low bridge sending Ayabe outside. Latimer off of the top turnbuckle to the outside. Talos makes the save after an impact DDT. Latimer is unable to slam the big man. The match is interrupted by David Crockett talking about the Road Warriors winning the Crockett Cup. We are back with the Titans working over Latimer. Shades of the Hart Foundation get them a 2 count. Nihan with the blind tag and he takes out the AJPW World Tag Team Champions. Talos with a choke slam and the Titans with Ride the Lightning for the 3 count.

Gordon: “A most determined effort from the former champion.”

Wreckingball Legursky is on the Carson Drake Experience where he is mistreated by the host and jumped by the Wrestling Machines.

Damien Fenrir congratulates Alex Misery on his victory but it is not heartfelt as Fenrir exhibits his oversized ego.

Natalia Markova replaces Tim Storm on commentary.

🔥 MATCH 3 — The Burke Invitational Gauntlet

Seven women compete in this gauntlet where you can be eliminated by pinfall, submission or over the top rope to become the number one contender to the NWA Women’s World Championship and an anytime, anywhere opportunity at the championship. Hollyhood Haley J and Kylie Paige start out. Haley hits Paige with a boot to the face as the ref checks her wrestling shoes. Hollyhood with the upperhand when Shay Karmichael of Texas Style Wrestling joins the gauntlet. Karmichael tries to send Haley J over the top rope when Gretta is added to the match. After a break Gretta eliminates Haley J and Karmichael in quick succession. Gretta gets Kylie up but is interrupted by the entrance of Kenzie Paige. The sisters double team the monster until getting caught by a double clothesline. Morgan Mercey of NWA Texas joins the match making it the Paige sisters and two giants. Gretta eliminates Mercy over the top. Herra joins the match. Herra with shortarm clotheslines to one Kylie who is saved by Kenzie. Kenzie eliminates Herra but is betrayed by her sister and eliminated. Kylie and Gretta are left as we go to break. Back from break Tiffany Nieves is the last entrant. Kylie is double teamed and has to contend with TV-MA’s Miss Starr on the outside. Miss Starr is kicked out of ringside and kicks the ref in the lower abdominal region. Paige puts up a fight but is hit by a huge choke slam. Gretta puts Nieves on Paige who is pinned and eliminated. Gretta climbs over the top rope to eliminate herself giving Nieves the victory and an anytime, anywhere opportunity at the Burke held by Markova.

Ed: “Fans, that’s a collision waiting to happen!”

📰 MLW NEWS & RUMORS

✔ Doc Gallows talks about Festus

Credit: WrestleZone

““I looked into it to make sure that I was safe. And I talked to my trademark lawyer about it, so we’re in the process of that now, just in case. But I hadn’t thought about that in a long time,” Gallows explained. “Machine Gun and I have been going everywhere. [And at] all of these shows and meet and greets and conventions that you do, we were shocked by the amount of people who would ask about Festus.

“Because I didn’t think there was a huge demand to see Festus. I kinda put him—he goes in a certain gimmick category, if you will, without bringing up any other names. But the interest really, really seemed to be there.””

✔ Brick Savage signs multi year deal.

Credit: f4online.com

“The 37-year-old Brick Savage was recently seen defeating Mad Dog Connelly at GCW Effy’s Big Gay Brunch 11 on April 18, 2026. At the WWE WrestleMania 42 weekend, he also wrestled in the Clusterf**k match at GCW Joey Janela’s Spring Break. A regular name on the indies, he has also frequently wrestled for promotions such as Revolver, MPX, New Texas Pro, and many more. He is also currently the Mat War Pro Super Openweight Champion.”

Krule releases statement on Berwyn confrontation

Credit: WrestlingHeadlines.com

““Two weeks ago, I prepared a statement to address this situation. Once I had handled some business that needed to be addressed before releasing, I read what I had written. In doing so I felt how disingenuous my original written statement was. Thus, I decided to stop, reassess, and be more open to the public. I am speaking to all of you now not as a character, but as myself.

“During the event, there was an altercation with a fan, whom I had had several incidents with throughout the night, including physically shoving myself during my entrance and another fan who was trying to purchase merchandise after the show. In this moment, I reacted and threw a punch. During that incident, I sustained an injury to my side that once I had returned to the locker room was discovered by staff at Berwyn. I do not know how this injury occurred, only that it occurred during the incident. Staff and wrestlers helped bandage me and tend to the wound. I left and was taken to take a shower and driven to the airport, as I had an early flight the next morning for another booking. I awoke in the airport to calls from my family in tears, “Did you get stabbed?” I had no idea what was happening, then I saw that story had been put out on social media. To be absolutely clear, I never wanted nor asked that this story be represented as fact nor made public. I was contacted by law enforcement, and I fully cooperated with that process. I was asked if I wanted to pursue an investigation | declined. I told the detective I did not believe I was stabbed, but I had probably fallen on something during the altercation.

“I regret not addressing this immediately and allowing misinformation and assumptions to circulate without clarification. I apologize for not negating the claim to the public. I pride myself in blurring the lines of reality, but I understand this was not one those times.

“Now comes the part of all of this I have struggled with most, throwing a punch. I have been angry, remorseful, and every emotion in-between. However, it finally hit me like a brick wall, I was in the wrong. Regardless of the situation and the things that occurred, it was my job to be a professional. In hindsight, many decisions made differently could have changed the situation’s outcome. I could have addressed the situation to management when I knew he was a problem. I could have made the decision not to go sell merch after the show to avoid potential conflict. I could have been a professional and I failed. Thus, I accept full responsibility for everything that occurred. I failed as professional. I have always taken pride in being professional and being a team player with every person I have worked for in my career. I failed and made a bad decision.

“To the wrestlers, fans, and promotions that have been affected by the aftermath of the situation and my bad decision, no words can change what has been done but I do apologize. I have spent more time over these last few weeks hurting emotionally because I hurt each and every one of you. I am sorry. Majority of you don’t know me, the person, only as what I portray as a character, but this incident is not a reflection of who 1 am. I care about professional wrestling more than I’ve shown through this situation. I will reflect that going forward.””

✔ Chattanooga Debut is Tonight

Credit: pwinsider.com

“MLW will debut tonight at The Signal in Chattanooga, TN with Killer Kross, Matt Riddle, Templario, Mistico, Shotzi, Okumura, The Good Brothers, Bishop Dyer, Trevor Lee, Austin Aries, CONTRA Unit and more locally advertised. The event is advertised as a MLW Fusion taping.”

🟥 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.”

Around the World of Pro Wrestling

🎙️ Desk intro

Ed: “Fans, the wrestling world from the United States to Mexico has been hotter than a depot stove! The National Wrestling Alliance keeps its legacy rolling, while CMLL just packed Arena México with a stacked Super Viernes card!”

Gordon: “Indeed. A most eventful period, with championships tested, rivalries sharpened, and some intriguing developments on both sides of the border.”
