Multiple WWE stars added to the AAA Noches de Los Grandes match card

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

A few matches consisting of multiple WWE superstars have now been added to the AAA Noches de Los Grandes match card.

Last week, after tension escalated between Pagano and Psycho Clown, The War Raiders (Erick & Ivar) appeared on stage and attacked the AAA World Tag Team Champions. However, with it still being unclear who attacked the rest of the clowns, Pagano and Psycho Clown will now team up despite their differences to defend their AAA World Tag Team titles against The War Raiders on May 30, 2026, at AAA Noches de Los Grandes.

Similarly, last week, after La Catalina’s debut win over Jessy Jackson, she was attacked by members of Las Toxicas. However, with the numbers advantage taking over, the debutant was saved by WWE NXT Women’s Champion Lola Vice and WWE veteran Bayley. The trio teamed up to fend off the villainous trio of Lady Flammer, Maravilla & La Hiedra.

A week later, on May 16, 2026, episode of AAA on Fox, it was announced that Bayley, Catalina, and Vice will now take on Flammer, Maravilla, & La Hiedra in a six-woman tag-team match at Noches de Los Grandes.

AAA Noches de Los Grandes updated match card

AAA Noches de Los Grandes is set to take place on May 30, 2026, at Arena Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico. Here is the updated match card:

  • El Grande Americano vs. Original El Grande Americano in a mask vs. mask match
  • El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. (c) vs. El Hijo del Vikingo for the AAA Latin American Championship
  • Pagano & Psycho Clown (c) vs. War Raiders (Ivar & Erik) for the AAA World Tag Team Championship
  • Bayley, Lola Vice & La Catalina vs. Las Toxicas (Flammer, Maravilla & La Hiedra)

Bayley returns to AAA, helps Lola Vice & La Catalina

Bayley has returned to AAA on Fox.

In the second match of the night during La Catalina’s AAA debut, fans saw the triumphant return of Bayley. La Catalina’s AAA in-ring debut took place on the May 9th episode of AAA on Fox, where she secured a win over Jessy Jackson.

Before the match began, AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Lady Flammer joined the commentary team. Following Catalina’s win, she was ambushed by Las Toxicas (Flammer, Maravilla & La Hiedra). Soon, the NXT Women’s Champion and AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champion, Lola Vice, showed up to help. However, to make up for the number’s disadvantage, WWE veteran Bayley returned to AAA to help.

Bayley last wrestled for AAA at Rey de Reyes, where she lost her Reina de Reinas championship match against Lady Flammer.

Our live coverage begins when the show starts: after the Backlash post-show ends.

**********

We are back and ready to serve up a hot helping of Lucha Libre action on tonights episode of AAA on Fox! WWE made a big announcement about Triplemania earlier during Backlash, so we’ll see how often that comes up tonight.

In the meantime, there’s two great looking matches and a whole bunch of Clown drama on the docket tonight, so let’s not waste any more time!

Triple Threat Match: Lince Dorado vs. Octagón Jr. vs. Cruz Del Toro

This is one of those matches where I think to myself “who cares why this is happening, I’m just stoked that it is!” because it’s just that awesome.

Off the bell, everyone took a second to see who could make the crowd cheer more. Dorado seemed to be the winner but ended up on the outside first. Cruz and Octagon fought in the ring with Octagon nailing him with a tornado shoulder block. Cruz popped back up though and put Octagon in a leg lock, complete with spin move.

Dorado then rejoined the fray and broke it up, trying to grab a pin on Octagon, but Cruz did the breaking up this time. Octagon took a powder and Dorado hit an around the world DDT on Cruz. Cruz countered with an attempted baseball slide, but Dorado leapt onto the ropes to avoid it. He then flipped onto Cruz on the outside.

Dorado pulled Cruz back into the ring and put him in an armbar, but Criz powered out of it with a, well, a power bomb. Octagon showed back up with a twisting dive from the top turnbuckle and all three fought in the ring, with Octagon taking out Cruz with a head scissor.

Things were moving fast and furious as Octagon hit Cruz on the outside with a crossbody from the ring post. Tossing him back in the ring, Octagon hit a tornado splash, but Dorado broke up the pin. He started trading chops with Octagon, then hit a handspring stunner on Octagon off the ropes. Cruz broke up that pin.

All three started spamming superkicks until Octagon hit a cutter on Cruz. Then Dorado took him out, but Cruz was there to take Dorado out. As Corey Graves put it, “this was an all out sprint from the bell!”

Octoagon hit a moonsault slam on Cruz from the top rope, but Dorado was there to break up the pin just in time. Octagon dragged Cruz into position for a high move, but Croz pulled him off the ringpost, set him up in a tree of woe and then went coast to coast with a dropkick.

Dorado then snuck in with a shooting star press on Octagon. Cruz grabbed Dorado, but Dorado countered into a brain buster and got the pin to win the match.

Match Result: Lince Dorado defeated Octagón Jr. and Cruz Del Toro

La Catalina vs. Jesse Jackson

Catalina has been gunning for 1000+ day Reina de Reinas Champion Flammer of Las Toxicas. She gets a warmup tonight against someone who is neither a civil rights activist or an auxiliary member of the Jackson 5.

Before the match could begin, Flammer came down to the ring. She joined the Spanish announce team (or as they are known in lucha libre, the announce team) and the bell rang.

They locked up to begin, with Catalina shoving Jackson into the ropes. They traded wristlocks until Jackson bounced Catalina’s head off the canvas. Catalina returned the favor with an arm drag, sending Jackson into the corner.

Jackson dodged the charge though and Catalina had to think fast and hit her with a dropkick, sending Jackson to the outside. Cataline then dropped a leg on her from the apron and then said hi to Mrs. Roldan at ringside.

Back in the ring, Jackson hit Catalina in the face with an axe handle, then followed up with a meteora, but Catalina kicked out of the cover. Jackson started throwing punches, but Catalina wouldn’t stay down. Jackson sent her to the corner for some chops but Catalina fed her a big boot.

Catalina came off the top with a vicious missile dropkick and then a hip atack, but Jackson kicked out at two. Catalina went for a dropkick, but Jackson dodged it and countered with a running elbow. Jackson came out of the corner, but Catalina was waiting with a high knee.

Catalina went up top, but Jackson cut her off, pulling her down and bouncing the back of her head off the turnbuckle. Jackson then hit a knee and went for a cover, but Catalina kicked out. Jackson went for a suplex, but Catalina countered into a superkick.

She dumped Jackson in front of the ring post and went up top. Catalina hit a splash from the top and that was it. Catalina made the pin and got the victory in her AAA debut.

Match Result: La Catalina defeated Jesse Jackson

After the match, Flammer and Catalina talked trash until the other members of Las Toxicas ran down to beat up Catalina. They held her while Flammer kicked Catalina in the gut and smashed her with forearms. They were laying in a 3-on-1 beating when Lola Vice ran down to make the save. However, she was taken out by the damn numbers game, but who should show up to even the odds? Bayley!

Bayley, Vice and Catalina cleared the ring of Las Toxicas, sending them running up the ramp while they celebrated with the crowd. If this isn’t a six-woman match at Noche de los Grandes, I will be very disappointed.

Speaking of Noche de los Grandes, it was announced that El Hijo De Vikingo will take on El Hijo de Dr Wagner Jr for the AAA Latin American Championship on May 30th.

Psycho Clown Calls Out Pagano

Normally, a promo or interview segment instead of a match to end the night would bum me out, but I don’t think you understand how excited I am for this face off.

To bring you up to speed: Pagano and Psycho Clown are currently the AAA Tag Team Champions. They are also part of the Psycho Circus group that includes Panic Clown, Murder Clown and Dave… The Clown. Someone has been taking out the clowns (not sending them in) one by one over the last few months. Pagano and Psycho have been trying to figure things out while defending their tag titles, leading to the questioning of their co-existence. So

On the April 23rd episode of AAA, Psycho had a match against Ivar of the War Raiders. As one would expect, Erik got involved and Psycho fell to the 2-on-1 advantage. Pagano ran down to help, but was way too late to stop Ivar from winning. This lead to a backstage argument between Pagano and Psycho. Pagao stormed off and Psycho went into the locker room to discover that Murder Clown had been beaten unconscious! Psycho rushed to help his brother-in-clowning only to discover a telltale bandana at the scene. A bandana belonging to Pagano!

So tonight, they will try and hash things out clown-to-clown in an effort to get to the truth of what’s been happening in the Psycho Circus.

Best. Story. In. Wrestling. Right. Now. Maybe. Ever.

Psycho stood in the ring as a recap of the last few months played. He grabbed a mic and addressed the crowd (with Rey Mysterio translating, thanks Rey!). He said he can’t ignore what’s been going on and called Pagano to the ring.

Pagano came down to his version of Sol Ruca’s music and got a mic of his own. Psycho said that they were brothers and their other brothers have been taken out one by one. He then asked Pagano what he had to say about it. He then confronted Pagano with the bandana.

Psycho asked Pagano what was going on. Pagano said that after all they have been through together, how could Psycho believe that he could do something like this? Pagano said that someone was trying to destroy them.

Pagano said that he understands why Psycho would accuse him, but maybe he should take a look at himself in the mirror, because it wasn’t Pagano. He said he would never turn his back on his family and went in for a hug, but Psycho shoved him off.

Psycho threw down his mic and left the ring. Pagano called him back saying when the truth comes out, Psycho will find out that Pagano was innocent.

Suddenly the War Raiders appeared and jumped Psycho from behind. Pagano rand down to help and drove the War Raiders off. Psycho and Pagano then stared each other down and exited through different sides of the entrance as the show came to an end.

Drama! Intrigue! Clowns!!

La Catalina talks working with The Undertaker in AAA: ‘He’s scary’

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

La Catalina has opened up about her experience working with The Undertaker in AAA in Mexico.

On April 11, 2026, fans saw La Catalina make her much-awaited AAA debut, where she confronted the Reina de Reinas Champion, Lady Flammer.

Now, almost a month after her debut, La Catalina appeared for an interview with Denise Salcedo, where she reflected on working with The Undertaker.

“Then, we have The Undertaker. He’s scary, seriously. For me, when I was in front of The Undertaker, and he starts to talk, he’s so tall, and I’m like, ‘Okay, what do I need to do? Whatever you want, Undertaker.’ It is a dream too because I never [thought] that The Undertaker [was] going to be my boss in the future, [it doesn’t feel real],” she said.

The Undertaker is a WWE Hall of Famer and currently responsible for booking the Lucha Libre AAA shows.

La Catalina also highlights working with Jeremy Borash

In the same interview, the former CMLL wrestler also opened up about working with Jeremy Borash in WWE/AAA.

“I think Jeremy [Borash] is the best. He believed in me. He is a good person, and I love Jeremy. All the time, [I’ll say], Hey Jeremy, I wanted this. ‘Okay, we’ll do that.’ Hey Jeremy, I need this. ‘Okay.’ I love it because I feel so good. I feel more confident; I like it. All the time he asks me about who is La Catalina, what I want for La Catalina, and when I say, hey, I want this, it’s ’Okay, we’re going to work on that.’ I love it. Jeremy is one of the [people] that I really love in AAA.”

After spending weeks on the roster, she is set to make her in-ring debut on the upcoming episode of AAA on Fox on May 9, 2026.

The first few matches and segments for the upcoming April 25th episode of AAA on Fox have now been announced.

Moments after the April 18 episode of AAA on Fox, after WWE WrestleMania 42, AAA announced the lineup for next week’s April 25 episode.

WWE’s Rey Fenix is scheduled to be in action against an unnamed opponent, while Texano Jr. is set to return and team up with El Grande Americano and face the duo of El Mesias and Mecha Wolf. Texano Jr. has not wrestled for the promotion since October 2024.

Former CMLL wrestler and AAA’s newest addition, La Catalina, is scheduled for an interview, while Dorian Roldan awaits to hear the decision on becoming the new AAA General Manager.

The April 18 episode announced that El Grande Americano II and El Grande Americano will sign their mask vs. mask match contract on the May 2 AAA on Fox episode.

BVV: Reviewing Penta vs. Vikingo for WWE Intercontinental title from AAA TV

Posted on by Vincent Verhei

It was a big week in AAA: a big debut, a big match, and the biggest announcement since the company was purchased by WWE.

The debut was by La Catalina, who appeared on both WWE Raw and NXT years ago and has now jumped from CMLL to challenge Flammer for the Reina de Reinas Championship.

The big match saw Penta defend his WWE Intercontinental Championship against Vikingo.

And the big announcement saw El Grande Americano challenge Original Grande Americano to a mascara contra mascara match that will probably be AAA’s biggest match of the year.

La Catalina makes AAA debut, confronts Lady Flammer

Posted on by Bryan Rose

La Catalina has joined AAA.

Reina de Reinas Champion Lady Flammer was celebrating her 974-day reign as champion when suddenly a pink cadillac was shown, with La Catalina in the driver’s seat. She then made her debut, effectively becoming the first person to leave CMLL for AAA since the latter was purchased by WWE last year.

Catalina cut a promo congratulating Flammer on her long reign as champion. But she pointed out one thing: Flammer has never faced Catalina. The rest of Las Toxicas went in for the attack but Catalina drove both of Flammer’s stablemates out of the ring. She then grabbed Flammer and shoved the champion’s face into the cake, the segment ending with Flammer then being thrown into a bunch of pictures that were set up to celebrate her long reign.

Earlier this week, CMLL announced that Catalina had left the company when her contract expired on April 1, saying it was Catalina’s decision not to renew her deal. Luchablog later reported that Catalina was expected to make her AAA debut this weekend.

La Catalina reportedly set to sign with AAA in historic move

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

Hours after her CMLL departure, La Catalina is reportedly set to make a historic move and potentially sign with AAA.

La Catalina parted ways with CMLL when her contract expired at the start of April 2026. Now, according to a recent report by Luchablog, it was noted that La Catalina will debut for AAA on Saturday, April 11, and make history.

If she successfully makes her debut for AAA, she will become the first talent to jump from CMLL to AAA after WWE purchased AAA last year in 2025. She was previously with WWE from 2019 to 2021. She was also a part of the WWE roster from 2019 to 2021, where she was known as Carolina and Catalina.

“La Catalina is the pick up AAA’s needed since WWE took over. She’s not the biggest possible name to jump, but she’s the one who fills the most obvious need. WWE/TKO believes in having strong marketable women’s stars, the AAA roster they took over did not have many women that fit WWE’s conventional thought process about female stars,” the report read.

La Catalina, 25, has also worked CMLL matches against former AEW champions Toni Storm and Mercedes Mone.

As per CMLL’s statements, it was noted that it was Catalina’s decision not to renew her contract with the promotion.

CMLL announces departure of La Catalina

Posted on by Joseph Currier

CMLL issued a statement on Tuesday announcing that a member of its women’s division has departed the promotion.

La Catalina exited CMLL when her contract expired at the start of April 2026. In the company’s statement, CMLL said it was Catalina’s decision not to renew. CMLL concluded the statement by wishing Catalina well in her future endeavors.

There has been no news on why Catalina made the decision to leave or what her next move in pro wrestling will be. She shared CMLL’s statement on social media but has not addressed the situation yet.

In 2024-2025, Catalina worked CMLL matches against AEW stars Toni Storm and Mercedes Mone. But given that AEW and CMLL are working together to offer dual contracts to talent, it would appear unlikely that AEW is her next destination.

Catalina, 25, is originally from Chile and spent some of her early career with WWE, where she was known as “Carolina” during a brief pairing with Sin Cara on the main roster and later used the name “Katrina Cortez” in NXT. Working for WWE fulfilled a dream for Catalina, but she has spoken negatively about her time with the company. If she were to return to WWE, it would presumably be for a role in Lucha Libre AAA.

CMLL wrestler announces in-ring return after two eye surgeries

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

Away from in-ring action for nearly a month, CMLL’s La Catalina has announced her in-ring return.

In late -2025, she stepped away from in-ring competition to undergo two separate eye surgeries which sidelined her and required her to rest.

The 25-year-old uploaded an update on Facebook on Tuesday where she opened up about her surgeries and clearance for in-ring return in February (translation provided by Fightful’s Luis Pulido):

“For those who are commenting and sending angry messages with me because I have not appeared in several shows…I had two surgeries on my eyes in December. I just got medically cleared for FEBRUARY. My eyes are recovering very well, thank God.”

She last wrestled on the December 4 Invasion Indy show against Olympia & Zeuxis. An active part of CMLL and the Mexican independent scene, she has also been a part of several ROH (Ring of Honor) matches, wrestling six times for the promotion in 2025 and competing for both the ROH Women’s title and ROH Women’s TV title.

Ring of Honor TV live results: Red Velvet vs. La Catalina, Mina Shirakawa returns

Posted on by Jeff Moss

Ring of Honor Women’s TV Champion Red Velvet will return to action for the first time since January on tonight’s HonorClub show.

Velvet will put her title on the line against CMLL’s La Catalina who earned the title shot earlier this month. Velvet will be looking for her seventh title defense as a full year as titleholder looms on the horizon.

Mina Shirakawa will make her return stateside as an AEW contracted wrestler as she battles Leila Grey.

MxM Collection & Johnny TV will continue their trios run as they will be in action.

In tag team action, Serpentico & Angelico team up against Cole Karter & Griff Garrison.

**********

It’s another Thursday and another episode of ROH on Honorclub! This was episode #114 for those scoring at home and kicked off with a big return!

Mina Shirakawa defeated Leila Grey

Shirakawa was last seen in ROH in August of 2024 and has been predominantly hanging out in Stardom ever since. Her return took place against Leila Grey, who may or may not still be a flight attendant, and picked up a win against Lady frost in her last ROH appearance. 

Shirakawa is fantastic to watch in the ring (in spite of some quesitonable entrance music). Grey has been climbing the ladder in ROH, getting better with each match and still managing to make time to hang out with Top Flight. Shirakawa had an edge in speed, but Grey was able to keep up with her.

Grey got the first near fall and caught Shirakawa looking with a running neckbreaker. Shirakawa had a smile on her face the whole time though, using the ropes to her advantage with several springboard strikes. She also worked Grey’s knee over a bunch, trying to keep Grey off her feet.

There was a lot of dancing between moves, as well. A lot.

Shirakawa almost got Grey with a slingblade off the top rope that was really impressive. From there she went back to working Grey’s knee, but Grey fought back with a shotgun dropkick. Shirakawa got Grey into a figure four though, wrenching that softened up knee. Grey struggled to get out of it, but in the end had to tap.

Match Result: Mina Shirakawa defeated Leila Grey

MxM Collection (Mansoor & Madden) and Johnny TV defeated Rosario Grillo, Cameron Russell and Alan Russell

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; MxM and Johnny TV are a match made in heaven. They are like peanut butter & jelly, bronzer and spray tans, hair gel and… well, hair. They have to be worrisome to the ROH Six-Man Champions, Dustin Rhodes and the Von Erichs, and not just because they keep stealing belts. 

Grillo and Mansoor kicked things off with a Tip-Touch of Honor. Immediately, Mansoor asked aloud “Why am I doing this?” and tagged in the much bigger Madden. Madden took Grillo so seriously, he didn’t even bother to take off his sunglasses.

Alan tagged in next, but Madden made short, short work of him. Madden dragged Alan to the corner, isolating him in the corner and tagging in TV. TV and Mansoor double teamed him with chops and stomps. Madden used some butt-based offense to knock Alan across the ring and MxMxTV all posed in the ring.

TV went up top, but missed the mark, allowing Alan to tag in Cameron who battled with Mansoor. From there, MxMxTV just collectively beat up their opponents. Eventually, they landed a Super Centerfold and executed a triple pin for the win.

Match Result: MxM Collection (Mansoor & Madden) and Johnny TV defeated Rosario Grillo, Cameron Russell and Alan Russell

ROH Women’s World TV Champion Red Velvet defeated La Catalina

As of this writing, Red Velvet has held the ROH Women’s TV title for 279 days. Not too shabby when you consider she’s only the second person to hold the title, after Billie Starkz. Velvet put Ashley Vox down in under 5 minutes in a Proving Ground match last week and this week takes on #1 Contender La Catalina, who beat Taya Valkyrie for the honor.  

These two are both really good at what they do. Velvet had the veteran’s edge, but Catalina wrestles a luchadore hybrid style that Velvet hadn’t faced before. Catalina was able to roll her up out of nowhere quite often in the opening minutes.

Once Velvet was able to get Catalina out of the ring though, we saw her toughness. On the outside Catalina brought a straight up slugfest until Velvet got the upper hand and wrapped her knee around the ringpost.

Catalina hit a huge fisherwoman’s suplex and came within a half-second of becoming the champion. Velvet stayed in it though, even through a shotgun dropkick from the top rope and a big electric chair.

Catalina went up top for her signature splash, but Velvet climbed the ropes and brought her down and put her into a vicious half-crab hold. Catalina struggled to get to the ropes, but couldn’t last when Velvet grabbed the rope for leverage. Catalina tapped and Velvet retains the title.

Match Result: ROH Women’s World TV Champion Red Velvet defeated La Catalina

The Frat House (Griff Garrison & Cole Karter w/Preston Vance & Jacked Jameson) defeated Spanish Announce Project (Angelico & Serpentico)

In another universe, I feel like The Frat House and Spanish Announce Project probably attended a lot of the same house parties in high school. They hung out on different floors of the house, but were still there. SAP took a loss last week as one half of a team with The Kingdom in an 8-man battle and The Frat House picked up a trios win a couple of weeks ago and have probably started eyeing the titles held by Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erichs. Mainly to use as beer coasters, I presume. 

The Frat offered up some red solo cups of Honor, but immediately threw their contents in SAP’s face. SAP responded by kicking their butts, leaving Karter alone in the ring for some double teaming. Angelico bowed out and Serpentico went one-on-one with Garrison, who had quickly tagged in.

Serpentico took out both Garrison and Karter with a dive through the ropes while Jameson and Vance… watched? Serpentico tried to go high, but Karter pulled him off the turnbuckle, sending him into the Frat Corner, where all four got their shots in.

The Frat House took control from there, with Garrison and Karter trading quick tags to hit Serpentico with a succession of moves. They threw him out of the ring and Vance and Jameson added their two cents as well.

Off of a hot tag, Angelico finally returned to the match, clearing the ring of Frat-people. Garrison got back in and the two collided in a double cross-body. That left Serpentico and Karter in the ring, and Jameson tried to hit on the ref at ringside. That let Vance get a few shots in on Serpentico, softening him up for Karter to get the pin through nefarious means.

Match Result: The Frat House (Griff Garrison & Cole Karter w/Preston Vance & Jacked Jameson) defeated Spanish Announce Project (Angelico & Serpentico)

After the match, the Frat House beat up SAP in the ring, trying to steal Serpentico’s mask again. That brought out ROH World Champion Bandido who picked apart the Frat House, clocking Vance specifically with the title belt. SAP Got to their feet and the three hugged in the ring.

Ring of Honor TV live results: Komander vs. Dark Panther TV title match, Mistico in action

Posted on by Jeff Moss

Komander will look to extend his Ring of Honor men’s TV title on tonight’s ROH on HonorClub show as he defends against CMLL’s Dark Panther.

The winner will defend against either Kevin Knight or AR Fox who battle for a title shot on the show.

In another CMLL showcase, Mistico will team with Neon and Fuego against Volador Jr., Rugido and Hechicero.

Ahead of their challenge for the AEW Trios titles this weekend, Top Flight will take on QT Marshall & Aaron Solo.

Before they take on Komander & Hologram on Sunday’s Collision special, The Beast Mortos & Dralistico will be in tag team action.

After unsuccessfully challenging ROH Women’s World Champion Athena, CMLL’s La Catalina returns to face Viva Van.

The massive Satnam Singh will also be in action to round out the card.

********

Spring has sprung like a springboard DDT and planted us face-first in a brand new episode of ROH on Honorclub. This episode shall be affectionately referred to “Number 108.”

Fuego, Mistico & Neon defeated Hechicero, Rugido & Volador Jr.

Kicking things off, the ROH/CMLL Crisis of Infinite Luchadores continued this week with another six-man match contested under Luchadore rules. which basically means if a wrestler slides out under the bottom rope, it counts as a tag and another member of their team can jump in. This makes it much easier for the participants to escape holds, dodge attacks and grab snacks, if they so choose. While the other five luchadores have been seeing in AEW and ROH in recent weeks, Neon was making his ROH debut and the commentators built him up huge.

Neon and Hechicero started things off and Hechicero was all over Neon from jump. It was a surprisingly technical exchange, lots of holds and locks with Neon getting a couple of rolling near-falls. Hechicero caught Neon in a leapfrog attempt and Neon crashed face-first into the mat.

Neon reversed a hold and Hechicero slid under the bottom rope. Volador jumped in and Neon tagged in Mistico. Mistico tried to show respect by offering a handshake, but Rugido and Hechicero ran in and all three beat up Mistico and Neo, leaving Fuego to face down his opponents three-on-one. Rugido (also in his ROH Debut apparently) hit a big dropkick on Mistico who had come in to help Fuego.

Mistico took out Volador and Rugido with a double back elbow and a brawl ensued, leaving Mistico, Fuego and Neon standing tall. They did a co-ordinated triple-dive out of the ring onto their opponents that was really, really, fun. Fuego and Rugido had a fantastic back and forth until Hechicero jumped in and helped with a double team.

Neon began clearing house, taking on all three one at a time. After dispatching Hechicero, Neon tagged in Mistico and Hechicero and Volador tried to double team him, but Mistico stayed alive and hit a headscissor from the top rope on Hechicero. He followed that up with a backbreaker and locked in an armbar submission on Rugido, forcing him to tap out and getting the win for his team.

Fantastic match and a great way to kick things off!

La Catalina defeated Viva Van

La Catalina failed to capture the ROH Women’s World Title from the Forever Champ Athena on ROH on Honorclub episode 106. So her runner-up prize is a match against Viva Van, who’s last televised match made my six-year old daughter exclaim “oh no, Vivian Van!” in a very sympathetic tone. 

Similarly matched in size and speed, the two locked up off the top with Catalina taking control. Van fought back but had a hard time finding something that would keep Catalina down. Catalina hit a series of shoulder blocks and a fisherman suplex, but only got a two count as Van kicked out.

Van’s biggest chance came via spinning heel kick as she nailed a stunned Catalina. Van tried to get. her up in a surfboard, but Catalina blocked it. Van turned up the aggression but it left her open to a shining wizard from Catalina.

Catalina set Van up in the corner for some clubbing strikes, but Van wriggled out introduced Catalina’s face to the turnbuckle. Catalina responded with a facebuster, but it couldn’t keep Van down. Catalina caught Van with a bodyscissor choke and Van tapped out, giving the Chilean Catalina the victory.

La Faccion Ingobernable (Dralistico & The Beast Mortos) defeated Eli Theseus & Gabriel Aeros

Hey, you know how The Beast Mortos is the scariest wrestler in ROH, non-Gates of Agony division?  The way to make him even scarier is to team him up with Dralistico, with whom Mortos had a killer triple threat match with against Hologram back in the days of yore, September 2024. Dralistico brings all kinds of speed and agility to La Faccion Ingobernable (aka The Ungovernable Faction, which I would like to join). Their victims, uh I mean, opponents, were Theseus and Aeros, who have been tagging together in the Land Down Under and lost to the Frat House (Griff Garrison and Preston Vance) a few weeks ago. 

Mortos was kind enough to let Dralistico start things off against Aeros who immediately found himself on the receiving end of a whole bunch of stomps, chops and really stiff looking punches. Theseus tagged in and didn’t fare much better, especially after Mortos tagged in and turned him inside out with a running body slam.

Aeros tried to help his partner, but Mortos headbutted him into next week. Dralistico pinned Theseus and that was it for the match.

AR Fox vs. Kevin Knight – Time Limit Draw

Fox vs Knight was such a meeting of similar wrestlers that they felt the need to put a time limit on it because it might be one of those things where their equality would lead to a match lasting forever. Or the  Board of Directors (are they still around?) made them do it. You pick whichever one feels best. The truth is, the winner of this match would become the #1 Contender for the ROH TV Title that Komander would be defending later in the show.

The crowd was clearly behind Fox, chanting his name before the bell. Knight worked Fox’s arm off the top, trying to take away Fox’s long reach. The two ran a series that was a literal mirror image of each other, both hitting the same moves, neither one getting an upper hand.

Fox stomped Knight in the corner, causing Knight to roll out of the ring to catch his breath. Fox dove onto him and they battled on the outside. Knight pulled Fox back into the ring and hit a standing frogh splash to get a two-count. Knight busted his lip open somwhere along the line and it seemed to make him more aggressive, but a little sloppier. Fox took advantage and hit him with a through-the-rope ddt as I quietly chanted “fight forever” to no one in particular, as I was alone in my office.

This was a really awesome match. Both of these guys can go, and they worked it perfectly so that there was no indication as to who might end up the winner. The only issue with it was that they never actually told the TV audience how long the time limit was (it was 10 minutes). So, suddenly out of nowhere it was announced that there was “one minute left in the match.” Hopefully it guarantees they have another one soon as I would very much like to see it.

Satnam Singh defeated Sid Ellington

Singh’s last match in ROH was way, way back on Episode #62 of ROH on Honorclub when he defeated, of all people, Jimmy Jacobs. The 400lbs Singh was looking to extend(?) that streak(?) against the 97lb Ellington, a Nightmare Factory student in his fourth match… ever. 

Ellington threw everything he had at Singh and honestly looked pretty good doing it. But as soon as Singh decided he was bored, he literally picked up Ellington and threw him the 20 feet across the ring, bouncing the smaller man off of the turnbuckles. Twice.

Singh continued beating on Ellington like he stole Singh’s lunch until everyone was screaming “stop, stop, he’s already dead!” (OK, that may have been just me screaming that). Singh pinned him and that was it. I’m all for a good squash, but the idea that Ellington had even a snowball’s chance here strained credulity.

Top Flight (Dante Martin & Darius Martin) w/ Leila Grey defeated Aaron Solo & QT Marshall

In a really, really stacked Tag Division, Top Flight are close to the top of the ROH Tag Title Chase. Last week, they teamed with Gates of Agony  in a win over The Frat House and The Premier Athletes. This week, they faced Aaron Solo and QT Marshall. Solo is a stalwart ROH Workhorse and Marshall has been hanging around ROH for a while now, presumably because they have better catering? I can’t really tell. There hasn’t been much reason in his current ROH run, but maybe this will be the start of a team with Solo that can enter the Tag Team Fray of ROH.  

Solo and Darius began the match, but Dante got involved pretty quickly, with the siblings double teaming Solo. Marshall tagged himself in and the crowd let him know that he sucked. Marshall worked Dante over until the high-flyer took him out with a headscissor.

On the outside, Solo drove Dante into the ring apron (the hardest part of the ring!) before tossing him back into the ring and isolating from his brother. Marshall tried to draw a DQ by punching Darious, but he didn’t go for it as Solo worked over Dante in the corner.

Dante got a hot tag to Darious who disptached Marshall, then turned his attention to Solo. Martin exploded with speed, bringing Solo to his corner and tagging Dante back in. Darious had Solo pinned, but Marshall jumped in to break it up.

Solo and Marshall beat up Darious until Dante could take out Marshall with a hurricanrana to the outside. Darious locked in a submission on Solo and Solo tapped out before Marshall could break it up. Decent match, probably one of the better ones involving Marshall that I’ve seen!

-Next, in a NCAA tie-in, The Outrunners arrived with the Omaha Maverick’s mascot, a bull named Durango. They fired up the Omaha crowd and promoted the Tournament. Suddenly, they were interrupted by the Infantry. They ran down the local sports teams and the Outrunners… left. Durango stayed though and the Outrunners returned with a couple of trash cans. They used the Infantry’s heads to test their durability and sent them packing.

ROH World Television Title Match: Komander (c) (w/Alex Abrahantes) defeated Dark Panther

Last week, Komander watched from ringside as Panther took on Aaron Solo. Solo looked pretty good against the veteran Cat-man, but Panther got the win and even did a little riling up of the ROH TV Champ in the process. Komander has been vying for the title of Fightingest Champion In ROH, having defended his TV Title seven times (so far) since winning it in December (for context and comparison, another championship, the ROH Tag Titles, were only defended eight times in all of 2024). 

These two were fired up and Komander took control off the top against the larger Panther. Panther switched tactics and started working the leg of Komander, hoping to take away some of his speed and agility.

The best part of these Luchadore matches is the speed. Komander and Panther were moving so fast and hitting so many different moves, the commentary could barely keep up. The fans were loving it too, chanting “Lucha Libre” at any opportunity, while Panther changed things up and worked Komander’s arm.

Komander began stomping on Panther’s feet, trying to get the big man on his back. It didn’t work though and Panther clubbed him to the mat. Komander dodged Panther and Panther ended up on the outside. Komander tried a dive, but Panther caught him and hung him up on the top rope, wrenching his knee.

Panther clearly had Komander scouted and was able to counter just about everything Komander tried. Panther also knew where to work Komander, putting him in surfboards in the center of the rign, stretching his knees.

Panther made a mistake though and gave Komander an opening for some high flying moves. Komander went for a running flip form the top rope, but Panther got his knees up, dazing Komander. Panther followed that with a missile dropkick from the second rope, but Komander got his hand on the ropes during the count.

Komander tossed Panther out of the ring and climbed to the opposite top turnbuckle. He ran along the ropes and dove onto Panther. Throwing him back in the ring, Komander climbed up again and hit a top rope flip to get the pin and retain his ROH TV Title.

After the match, Dark Panther grabbed the title belt and put it on Komander in a sign of respect. A perfect ending to a pretty good show!

Ring of Honor TV live results: CMLL stars in action

Posted on by Jeff Moss

Tonight’s Ring of Honor on HonorClub will be another showcase for CMLL stars with a pair of trios bouts in addition to two singles matches.

Mexican legend Atlantis will team with Esfinge & Fuego against Gran Guerrero, Euforia & Rocky Romero. It’s the first ROH action for Atlantis since a June 2018 challenge for the ROH Six-Man titles.

In another, former ROH Men’s TV Champion Atlantis Jr. will join Templario and Mascara Dorada against Magnus, Soberano and Volador Jr.

Dark Panther will face the returning Gravity who hasn’t been in ROH since February 2024 while La Catalina will prepare for her impending challenge of ROH Women’s World Champion Athena with a clash against Lady Frost.

Blake Christian will seek to extend his win streak to seven as he challenges Fuego Del Sol.

The announced lineup is rounded out by The Infantry in tag team action and The Beast Mortos in singles action.

**********

Episode 105 of ROH on Honorclub is here to continue Episode 104’s spotlighting of CMLL’s legendary legion of luchadores with a pair of big time six-man matches! Names like Atlantis, Fuego, Atlantis Jr, Fuego Del Sol and Dark Panther are all in action tonight!

Atlantis, Esfinge & Fuego defeated Euforia, Gran Guerrero & Rocky Romero

Atlantis is 62 years old. That’s it. That’s all you need to know. Joining him are Esfinge, the  CMLL Mexican National Light Heavyweight Champion and CMLL mainstay Fuego. They’ll be taking on Rocky Romero, who ROH fans may remember from another episode of ROH that he was undoubtedly on. He’s teamed with his CMLL pals Euforia who at 50 is not the oldest person in the match and current CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Gran Guerrero (sadly no relation to Eddie). 

Atlantis and Guererro kicked things off with Guererro feigning respect for Atlantis, then sucker punching him. Fuego and Romero then took a turn with Fuego sending his head into the mat with a big headscissor. That brought in Euforia for a moment before Gran found his way back in.

I should mention, this match was being contested under Luchadore Rules, which meant that if a wrestler exited the ring under the bottom rope, one of his teammates could enter just like being tagged.

Back in the match, Romero and Esfinge flew around the ring, with Romero taking the brunt of the punishment. Euforia came in for a double team with Gran, flattening Romero. Fuego jumped in though and the triple team was on. Guererro landed a big package tiger driver on Fuego, bringing Atlantis back into the fray.

The triple team contiuned as Guererro, Euforia and Romeo all took turns wailing on the legend. The ref managed to shoo two of them out, leaving Romero and Atlantis. Romero tried to remove Atlantis’ mask, but Euforia got in before he could. Atlantis went up top and hit a great crossbody. He then spammed tilt-o-whirl backbreakers, a move attributed to Atlantis.

Esfinge ended up in the ring with Romero and Esfinge manged to get him in a bridged pin that led to a three count. Great opener!!

La Catalina defeated Lady Frost

The ladies of CMLL join the fray next as La Catalina faced off against Lady Frost Along with Catalina’s mexican escapades, she also appeared in WWE’s NXT in a Women’s World Title #1 Contender’s Battle Royale in 2020, where she was eliminated by Shayna Baszler. Catalina also has an upcoming shot at Athena’s ROH Women’s World Title. Frost has been splitting her time between AEW and ROH all while holding the WrestlePro Women’s Championship. Her last ROH match was a loss to Taya Valkyrie in January. 

The two wrestlers were fairly evenly matched in terms of size and speed. They locked up off the top and Catalina managed to work Frost into an early pin attempt. Catalina focused on the leg, trying to keep Frost off her feet. Frost met her head on though and a speedy exchange followed.

Catalina controlled the pace of the match, putting Frost on her back, then flipping her into various submission moves. Perhaps it was the vigour of youth or the excitement of the evening, but Catalina tended to put on a submission move, but if Frost didn’t submit right away, Catalina moved on to another one. She might want to give a bit more time in the future.

Frost battled back and caught Catalina with a lariat off the ropes. Frost sent her too the corner, but was spending a little too much time playing to the crowd. She hit a Snowball Fight, but only got a two count. A slugfest broke out as the two traded blows against the ropes until Catalina inserted her knee in Frosts face.

Frost planted Catalina with a spinning backdrop, but it was just another two count. Frost went up top and Catalina caught her midair for a quick pin attempt. It was a two-count though as both women began to show signs of fatigue. Frost charged Catalina in the the corner, but Catalina dodged and nailed her with an electric chair.

Catalina went up top for a big splash and that was the end for Frost. 1,2,3 and Catalina picks up the win and the momentum heading into her match against ROH Women’s Champion Athena.

The Beast Mortos defeated Adam Priest

Mortos hasn’t been on ROH since the landmark 100th episode, when he ate up and spat out the surprisingly impressive Lord Crewe. Tonight though, he takes on a technical specialist in Priest, so this was a definite mixing of styles.

Priest tried to run around Mortos and pepper him with chops. Unfortunately Mortos does not feel pain like a regular human so he was able to turn the momentum with the extremely technical move called “punch him in the face very hard.”

Mortos tried a chokelsam, but Priest wiggled free and took out Mortos’ leg. Priest has scouted Mortos via a match with him on Collision, so he knew taking him off his feet would be key. Mortos, however, is unkillable by conventional means, so he rose up and hit a massive samoan drop on Priest, gaining control.

Mortos grabbed priest and executed a tilt-o-whirl back breaker into a torture rack followed by a piledriver that put Priest down for good, giving The Beast the win.

The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean) w/Shane Taylor defeated Jimmy Wild & Rosario Grillo

The last time we saw Bravo and Dean on ROH was back in December in a wild 8-man tag match, teamed with Shane Taylor and Lee Moriarty. Since joining up with Shane Taylor Promotions, the Infantry have looked great, leaning into a more aggressive style. It still hasn’t translated into championship gold though, which I’m sure was on their minds as they checked out the opposition. Wild got beat up by Toa Liona last April in ROH, while Grillo is no stranger, having taken on the Outrunners with Jon Cruz on episode 100.

Dean and Grillo kicked things off, with Dean immediately sending Grillo to the Infantry corner for a double team. Off of that, Wild tagged in and Dean dragged him to the outside and Bravo delivered a huge axehandle onto him on the ring apron (the hardest part of the ring).

Bravo and Wild were up next and history repeated itself as Wild was sent to the corner for Bravo to wrench on behind the refs back. Bravo tagged in and was about the get the pin on Wild, but pulled him up after two for some more punishment instead.

Wild tried for a hit tag, but the Infantry cut him off. Wild actually executed a double DDT on Bravo and Dean, but just couldn’t get that tag as Bravo pulled Grillo off the apron and onto the floor. Bravo and Dean took Wild to Boot Camp and then did a double curb stomp. Dean then pinned Wild’s lifeless body as a matter of protocol.

Blake Christian defeated Fuego Del Sol 

Fuego Del Sol (Not to be confused with his fellow Fuego; Fuego) has been hanging around ROH for the last year or so with mixed results. He’s lost a few singles matches, won a few trios matches and generally been a stalwart workhorse for ROH. Christian, leaning into a grumpy, bully persona, has not lost a match in ROH since Final Battle 2024 back in, well, 2024. That puts him on a 5-match win streak and he’s mad as hell about it.

Christian attacked Del Sol before the bell as Del Sol was soaking up the crowds adulation. Christian worked him over on the outside, stepping on his head against the barricade. Del Sol dodged a flip from Christian and threw him back in the ring. Christian responded with a hige knee to the face and stood on Del Sol’s head again.

Del Sol kept trying to gain the upper hand, but Christian had an answer for him every step of the way. They both matched up on big speed, but Christian was in control through most of the match, including trying to tear of Del Sol’s luchadore mask. Twice.

Christian tapped his wrist like a watch as if to say “time to end this” but Del Sol fought back before Christian could do much damage. He caught Christian with a big back elbow and double stomp to the back of the head. He tried an around the world DDT, but Christian fought back.

Del Sol went up top to end it, but Christian kipped-up and knocked him off the turnbuckle. Christial climbed up and hit a C$ from the top rope before locking in Vanilla Choke Zero. Del Sol was forced to tap out, giving Christian his sixth win.

-Backstage, ROH Women’s Champion Athena cut a promo on La Catalina. Athena is tired of “bi*ches” coming into her show trying to take her title. So when they meet next week, Athena will not be nice to Catalina. Her words, not mine.

Dark Panther defeated Gravity

Last week, Panther teamed up with Fuego and Sammy Guevara in a losing effort in the six-man main event. Now he’s looking to audition for Wicked Part 2 by defying gravity. Wait, hold on, no I was incorrect, Panther is facing off against Gravity, a Bandito-traind Luchadore who’s a double champion, currently holding the Loko Championship and the Lucha Libre Elite Welterweight Championship. The ROH World TV Champion, Komander, watched from the crowd as he and Panther have a match for the title coming up.

Like The Beast Mortos, Panther’s hugeness set him apart from most Luchadores. Gravity tried his best to get him off his feet in the opening exchange, but no dice. Panther went low and put Gravity in an ankle lock. Panther locked Gravity in a standing surfboard, but Gravity wriggled free.

Panther slowed things down with a big lariat, keeping Gravity off his feet. Panther hit a rewind (kind of a double 619) which he shouldn’t have been able to do given his size (physics!). From there, he and Gravity exchanged forearms until Gravity executed a German Suplex.

Gravity tried to throw a lariat, but Panther caught his arm and put on an armlock, forcing Gravity to scramble to the ropes. Panther sent him to the outside and dove through the ropes, twice, once without his elbowpad. Panther went to the second rope for an elbow, but Gravity dodged it. Panther slipped by Gravity’s next move and hit a Knockout blow, getting the pin and the win.

Atlantis Jr., Mascara Dorada & Templario defeated Magnus, Soberano Jr. & Volador Jr.

Ok, so stay with me here as I try to get the 3-6 degrees of luchadore info laid out:

  • Former ROH World TV Champion and current CMLL World Historic Light Heavyweight Champion Atlantis Jr (and yes, Atlantis is his father) faces off against one of his former CMLL World Trios Championship teammates Volador Jr. 
  • Volador, held the CMLL World Historic Welterweight Championship three times for a staggering 3167 day collective Reign. 
  • On the other side of the ring from him is the CURRENT World Historic Welterweight Championship, Mascara Dorada. Dorada most recently defeated Soberano Jr as part of a two-out-of-three falls six-man match two weeks ago. 
  • Soberano held the Mexican National Welterweight Championship for 1664 days before vacating the title and the “El” part of his name. 
  • Last year, Soberano teamed with current Mexican National Tag Team Champion Magnus in a series of tag matches in CMLL. 
  • Magnus, amongst other things, has faced off against Templario, the current CMLL World Middleweight Champion, in best-2-out-of-3-falls six-man matches roughly every 4-6  months since 2016. 

Whew.

Kicking things off with Magnus and Templario, this match was on fire from the start. Soberano followed Mangus in after Templario threw him out of the ring. Atlantis, Templario and Dorada hit a triple dive through the ropes to take out the otheer team.

Back in the ring, Magnus and Dorada went back and forth, with Volador jumping in and Dorada taking care of them both. From here, it was almost impossible to know who was legal in the match. a Lucha-Brawl broke out and when the dist settled Magnus and Templario were in the ring. Dorada tagged in, and the triple-team shifted to Dorada taking a beating from Soberano and Co.

Volador and Magnus hit a great double team move and then the Ref decided to make himself known byt forgetting that you can slide under the ropes to initiate a tag. That led to another Lucha-Brawl and Atlantis found himself in the ring alone against the opposing team. Volador tried for a pin, but only a two-count.

The trio kept Atlantis isolated and twisted his wrist and hand so it seemed like he was giving the finger to the crowd. They triple-kicked him and Atlantis rolled out allowing Templario to take his place in the 3-on-1 beating. Dorada found his way in and took his turn getting triple teamed. The ref was ok with all of this.

Actually he tried hard to keep control, but it was a fool’s effort. Atlantis managed to find an in and tookd down all three, ending with big tilt-o-whirl backbreakers on Magnus and Soberano. Volador was the legal man as the ring cleared and Atlantis tried for a pin, only getting a two-count.

Templario tagged in to take on a clearly dazed Volador. Templario tried to hit a powerbomb off the top rope, but Volador reversed it into a headscissor. That brought in Soberano who kicked Templario very, very lowly in the stomach. Templario paid him back with a massive pop-up blue thunder bomb.

Magnus and Atlantis faced off as the “this is awesome” chants rained down in Texas. Quick tags and Dorada (now the legal man) hit Volador with an inside out run. Atlantis hit a huge frog splash on the legal (maybe) man Magnus and managed to get a pin and the victory for his team.

What a fun show! More Luchadores please!

Blue Panther Sr., other CMLL wrestlers to debut at AEW Dynamite & ROH taping

Posted on by Josh Nason

The run of CMLL talent working AEW and Ring of Honor shows will continue next week with a slew of legends making their promotional debuts.

Announced Saturday, ROH Women’s World Champion Athena will defend against La Catalina at this Wednesday’s Dynamite and ROH combo taping in Oceanside, California. It will be their first ever match.

Also announced is a CMLL trios showcase as the 64-year-old Blue Panther Sr., Blue Panther Jr. and Dark Panther will battle Valiente, Gran Guerrero and Euforia.

For Catalina, Panther Sr., Panther Jr., Valiente, Guerrero and Euforia, it will be their AEW/ROH debuts. It’s assumed both matches will be part of the ROH portion of the show.

The news comes a day after Mistico was announced for the March 1st Collision/ROH taping in Oakland, California, and follows recent Texas AEW/ROH events that also featured CMLL talent.

AEW and CMLL have had a partnership for more than a year with talent working in both organizations with another example being the news that AEW International Champion Konosuke Takeshita and Taya Valkyrie will debut in Arena Mexico in the near future.

CMLL announces new date for Toni Storm’s debut

Posted on by Joseph Currier

A new date has been set for Toni Storm’s CMLL debut.

CMLL confirmed today that Storm will debut for the promotion against La Catalina at Arena Mexico this Friday night (October 18). The match was originally supposed to happen last week, but it had to be postponed due to travel issues that the AEW star faced in the wake of Hurricane Milton.

Storm’s scheduled flight out of Florida last week was canceled — and a new flight that would have allowed her to make the October 11 show was not able to be secured. CMLL issued a statement last Thursday announcing that, while Storm vs. La Catalina had to be postponed, they were working with both competitors to ensure that the match would still happen soon.

La Catalina — who formerly competed for WWE under the names Catalina and Katrina Cortez — instead teamed with Samantha Black to defeat Zeuxis & Dark Silueta at last Friday’s show.

This match is happening while Storm is on hiatus from AEW programming. She’s been away since dropping the AEW Women’s World Championship to Mariah May at All In this summer. Storm has said that she would like to get her rematch against May when AEW makes its Australia debut in February 2025.

Storm also recently competed for Stardom during her hiatus from AEW television.
