On SmackDown LowDown, Naomi was interviewed by Byron Saxton about her upcoming championship match. The last time Naomi went for the WWE Women’s Title was when her friend Bayley held it during the Backlash premium live event in May. This was also a Triple Threat that had included Tiffany Stratton.
During the interview, Naomi said she is ready to bully the bully next week. She has pinned Jax before and is ready to do it again. On this week’s SmackDown, Naomi showed up to neutralize Candice LeRae and help out the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill as they faced Jax and Stratton. Belair and Cargill joined Naomi during the SmackDown LowDown interview and invited her to Raw on Monday. They take on Raquel Rodriguez and Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan.
Also on SmackDown LowDown, Saxton interviewed Piper Niven and Chelsea Green. The talk of the night was about the new WWE Women’s United States Championship. The duo certainly differed on who should become the inaugural champion. When asked by Saxton, they both said “me” when referring to who the new title would look great around.
Green tried to brush it off and said what’s hers is hers and what Niven’s is also hers. This led to a confused face on Niven before the two walked away.
Lastly, B-Fab throws her name in the hat to become the first Women’s United States Champion. The Street Profits are ready to become tag team champions next year after a four year drought. Tag Titles or bust says Montez Ford. But, B-Fab also wants gold so the three of them will be dripping in it.
Anna Jay isn’t done with AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May just yet. She is ready for round three and has challenged May to a no disqualification match on Collision next Saturday. In addition, if Jay doesn’t win, she will never challenge for the title again as long as May is champion.
Despite May feeling that she is untouchable, Jay reminds her that she has defeated her. Jay vows that the next time she gets her hands on the champion she will choke the piss out of her.
Anna Jay bites back at #AEW Women's World Champ Mariah May, and has just the stipulation in mind for a Mariah vs Anna 3!
Jay ends the promo by saying that every woman in the locker room wants the title and May’s head. She says she will bring back both.
Prior to this, May stirred up the feelings that boiled over in Jay. The champion states that she hates women’s wrestling. She didn’t used to, but then she won the title and has been surrounded by the “weakest, saddest, most pathetic little shits” that she’s ever seen.
May says she isn’t in the women’s division, the women are in her division. She ends by saying, one day people will ask who killed women’s wrestling…and it will be her.
Winning the #AEW Women's World Championship has changed Mariah May's perspective on the division that surrounds her…
On the Nov. 9 episode of Collision a chilling vignette aired which depicted both sides to Julia Hart that we’ve seen. The first gimmick being a cheerleader and the more recent dark House of Black member. In the vignette, as a cheerleader, Hart is “trying out” for the squad but when she asks if she made the team, her House of Black persona says that she will “never be good enough” befor piercing her with an arrow from the belachers.
Hart has been off screen and out of action since April. At thay time she dropped the title to Willow Nightingale. In May, she has shoulder surgery.
The first qualifying match takes place this Tuesday as Sol Ruca takes on Cora Jade. This will be the third annual Iron Survivor Challenge. Jade participated in the first one while Ruca has not yet participated.
Also on this upcoming episode, Adriana Rizzo looks for revenge against Nikkita Lyons while Kelani Jordan will get her rematch against Fallon Henley for the NXT Women’s North American Title.
Indi Hartwell is one of two women talent that was released just over a week ago. The other was Tegan Nox. Baron Corbin was also released.
Hartwell took to her YouTube channel to discuss her release. The release of Hartwell was the more shocking of the three that took place. Unlike Nox and Corbin, Hartwell had recently returned to TV and even had a tag team match, that was previously taped, air on the day of her release.
Hartwell says in her video that it has been a weird week of different feelings and emotions. She says she is doing well and feeling good although the release is still fresh. She adds that she had no idea she was going to be released and didn’t see it coming. She says she took it like a champ though!
Hartwell will have a 90 day no-compete clause before she can show up for another promotion.
Indi Hartwell said she honestly didn’t see the release coming, but took it like a champ.
Hazuki has earned the number one contender spot for the NJPW STRONG Women’s Title.
On Nov. 8 at the NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed event in Lowell, Mass. STARDOM’s Hazuki won a Four-way match which also included Koguma, Trish Adora, and Anna Jay. The current NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion, Mercedes Moné arrived at the event to come face-to-face with her new challenger. Moné has held this championship for 131 days and counting since taking it off of Stephanie Vaquer at NJPW x AEW Forbidden Door. This will be her third defense.
The two competitors will have the title match on Dec. 15 at Strong Style Evolved in Long Beach.
Friday Night SmackDown emanated this week from Buffalo, New York inside the KeyBank Center. The Women’s Tag Team Championship remains on the waists of Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill after beating three other teams at Crown Jewel, while doubt continues to cloud the friendship of Women’s Champion Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton after an attempted Money in the Bank cash-in by Stratton and a loss by Jax to Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan.
Bayley made her way to the ring for the first of two scheduled matches on this week’s show. Facing off against Candice LeRae, problems between the two have been mounting since LeRae pinned Bayley in a tag team match also involving Nia Jax and Naomi three weeks ago. Michael Cole continues to build the underlying story of their feud; with Candice holding animosity against the Role Model going back to their pre-WWE days, Bayley herself saw LeRae as an inspiration and would attend several of her independent shows, believing that she worked just as hard as LeRae did to make it to where she is today, especially as the now-Poison Pixie was the only female wrestling in California at the time.
Meanwhile in the ring, LeRae dominated over Bayley both during and after the commercial break, but a dropkick from the top turnbuckle would be countered by Bayley into a clothesline, leading her to take control of the match. LeRae appeared to slow down a bit after hurting her knee. It quickly turned out that said injury was a ruse to try and roll up Bayley, but LeRae’s roll up was quickly reversed into a victory for Bayley.
Candice was then seen walking backstage, quickly confronted by Tiffany Stratton, who mocked her for her loss and called her win over Bayley three weeks ago a fluke. The Buff Barbie reminds The Poison Pixie that she’ll have to work harder than that to get Nia’s respect. Nia Jax walks into the room, asking her friend if she went to Nick Aldis in order to schedule the match. Stratton responds and says that if they beat them, they would be first in line for a title opportunity and that they would rule the tag team division. Jax hopes that Stratton’s plan works.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair walked out to take on Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton. The action would start with Stratton trying to boast to Cargill, but getting hit with a fallaway slam before tagging in Jax, who would make her impact known with a Samoan drop to Cargill before a commercial break.
After the break, Cargill remained overpowered by Jax, but was successfully able to reverse a suplex and sent The Irresistible Force outside the ring and tagging in Belair, who came with a fast-paced flurry of attacks against Stratton. Jax would return to the ring and with Stratton, nearly put Belair away as Cargill broke up the cover in time. Candice LeRae would get involved in the match, pushing The EST off the turnbuckles and infuriating Stratton, who instructed her to get out. Naomi would then arrive onto the scene and start beating on LeRae. The commotion between the two, Jax, and Cargill at ringside helped Belair perform the KOD on this year’s Ms. Money in the Bank for the win.

Still following the fallout from Bound for Glory, the TNA Knockouts attempt to wrap up their differences on tonight’s TNA Impact!
The show immediately kicks off with Alisha Edwards and Tasha Steelz taking on Jordynne Grace and the TNA Knockouts World Champion, Masha Slamovich. After a recent scuffle, Slamovich and Grace look to shut the mouth off of Edwards and Steelz once and for all.
Grace and Steelz lock up, but the test of strength is too much for Steelz and tags out. Edwards with a “neck injury” can’t take the heat, but eventually attempts to trip up Grace on the second rope for her team to gain control.
Grace finally makes the hot tag out and the Knockouts Champion takes it to Steelz. Grace tags in and attempts to hit a Juggernaut Driver, but Steelz will not let up and hits a Crucifix Driver. Edwards makes the tag in, but her neck meets a chokehold from Slamovich for her to pick up the win.
Next, after a betrayal at Bound for Glory, Rosemary takes on NXT’s Wendy Choo in a No Disqualification match. The two former partners look to settle this dispute once and for all.
Choo immediately goes on the attack on Rosemary and sends her hanging and spilling to the outside. Unfortunately, Choo gets too greedy with her pillow and this allows Rosemary to send Choo into the ringpost. Rosemary tries to choke the lights out of Choo with some wires and her cane, but it’s not enough.
Both end up awaking in the middle of the ring, and Choo pulveries Rosemary with her signature pillow. Rosemary with her cane, sends Choo to sleep and picks up the win.
In our third Knockouts match of the night, Heather By Elegance looks to take on one-half of the Knockouts Tag Team Champions, Jody Threat. Along with Ash By Elegance, Heather looks to further prove that she is heat. Along with Ash By Elegance, Heather looos to prove that she is as much of a threat to those tag team titles.
Heather strikes Threat in the middle of her entrance and gets the early advantage. But, Threat quickly fires through and gains the upper hand on Heather. A distraction allows Heather to hit a Tornado DDT and finally gain back her footing, as Ash gets a quick swipe in.
Threat tries to use her size and power advantage to come back, but Ash tries to get up on the apron to put a stop to it. Heather heads to the top turnbuckle and tries to hit a crossbody, but Threat counters and Heather gets hit with a Pop-Shove It for the win.
What did you think about tonight’s TNA Impact? How were tonight’s three Knockout matches? And where do the title scenes go from here? Let us know in the comments!
Hello everyone! Welcome to the ROH recap, This week we will hear from our longest reigning, forever ROH women’s champion and minion overlord, the fallen goddess, Athena, after she called for an emergency M.E.M. (minion empowerment meeting). We also have two women’s matches and two returns.
First, we see a replay of last week’s main event, the Halloween Ring of Horror match, in which Athena defeated Abadon. Then we see Lexy Nair backstage with the ROH women’s champion Athena. She mentions how last week she killed the Living Dead Girl, Abadon, then she talks about how a couple of weeks ago, she beat a porcelain hussy in Canada (Hi, Gisele!) and states that they need to expand their horizons to places like the U.K., France, India, China, and Japan (nothing for México, I guess) to make sure that every porcelain hussy gets shaken to their boots.
They laugh in excitement until Billie Starkz shows up. Athena looks at her and tells her bestie Lexy to handle it. Lexy asks her if she came to apologize to Athena, and in return, Billie says that she thought that Lexy have told her that Athena would forgive her. Lexy tells her that she needs to think about her decisions and puts her in minion time out.
Next up we have our first women’s match of the night, between Diamante versus Rachel Ellering. Diamante got the win with her rolling cutter. Post-match we saw the return of the ROH Women’s World Television Champion, Red Velvet, returning all the way from México to get her revenge on Diamante by attacking her. Both share a staredown after, and Red Velvet poses with her championship.
The second match of the night saw returning Leyla Hirsh back in action against Tina San Antonio. We saw a recap from the Death Before Dishonor match between Diamante and Leyla Hirsh; they mentioned that Leyla dislocated her shoulder after a moonsault. Following the code of honor, both women shake hands, and in a short match, Leyla gets her first win since her injury with a German suplex, followed by a hard knee to the skull.
I am happy to see Leyla back, as she became one of my favorites in AEW ever since that match she had with Kris Statlander. Hopefully we get to see her in the title picture in the future. While It seems that we might finally get to the point of no return with Athena and Billie; I can’t wait to see what they do next.
What did you think about Leyla Hirsh’s return? Are you ready to see new faces as champions? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
At the end of October, WWE announced the launch of their Indie Developmental program. A program like their NIL program but for indie talent instead of college athletes.

Outside of CZW, Steel has been working with Marigold since its inception earlier this year.
Last night’s WWE NXT broadcast from Philadelphia’s historic 2300 Arena, paying homage to the venue’s storied past while showcasing the future of wrestling. Let’s jump right into it!
The show opened with Ava addressing the Philadelphia crowd, expressing honor in hosting NXT at the iconic 2300 Arena. She announced the return of the Men’s and Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge at “NXT” Deadline in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Hardcore Match: Jaida Parker vs. Lola Vice (Special Guest Referee: Dawn Marie)
Parker wastes no time, launching an early attack. She grabs a chair, but Vice counters quickly, smashing the chair back into Parker’s face with a spinning backfist. The action spills to the outside, where Vice pulls out a table. However, she takes a bit too long, giving Parker the opening to knock her down. Parker then throws a few chairs into the ring, but a big swing misses, and Vice takes advantage with another knockdown just as we head to a break.
As we return, the ring is littered with weapons, including several ladders. Parker seizes control, hitting a powerful spinebuster and placing Vice on a ladder. Climbing a standing ladder, Parker goes for a massive Tear Drop onto Vice, scoring a close two-count. With adrenaline high, Parker grabs more weapons, but her momentary hesitation lets Vice recover, who strikes her down with a series of kendo stick shots.
Vice then traps Parker in a trashcan and slams into her with a running hip attack, narrowly missing the pinfall. Parker retaliates by throwing the trashcan right at Vice. Back inside the ring, Vice unleashes more kendo stick shots, but Parker catches her off-guard with a sideslam onto a chair. She follows up with a running elbow that sends Vice crashing into a ladder, scoring another close two-count.
In a dramatic finish, Parker grabs a freaken BRICK and shatters it over Vice’s head, though it only gets her a two-count (what?). Determined to finish things, Parker delivers the Hipnotic, sealing the win in this brutal showdown. Rob Van Dam was seen offering advice to Kelani Jordan.
Winner: Jaida Parker
Tony Mamaluke has gotten Adriana Rizzo a match up against Nikkita Lyons next week!
Kelani Jordan and her team share some motivation ahead of the ten-woman tag match. Jordan reveals she’s fluent in Spanish, surprising her teammates. However, their prep is interrupted by Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson, who come in boasting about their pursuit of the Women’s Tag Team Titles. Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer, though, don’t seem particularly impressed.
Nikkita had a promo backstage saying she’s ready to take out everyone and win gold.
Ten-Woman Tag Team Match
Roxanne Perez, Cora Jade, Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx, and Fallon Henley vs. Zaria, Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, Kelani Jordan, and Jordynne Grace
Jordan opens with a series of arm drags and a sharp dropkick to Henley, gaining the early edge before tagging in Vaquer. Vaquer delivers a springboard crossbody, keeping the momentum rolling. Nyx enters next but gets tangled in a 619, allowing Giulia to follow up with a double elbow drop for a two-count. Perez tags in but takes an overhead belly-to-belly suplex from Giulia. An opportunistic shot from the apron stalls Giulia’s offense, giving Perez the chance to land a running dropkick against the ropes.
Zaria steps in, teasing a powerbomb, sparking all ten competitors to flood the ring in a chaotic face-off. The action spills to the floor, with the villains regrouping on the outside just in time for Jordan to soar off the ropes with a big moonsault, sending us to a commercial break.
Back from the break, Jordan finds herself knocked outside, where Nyx seizes the chance to dive onto Giulia and Vaquer. Inside, Jordan rallies but gets cut off by Henley just before tagging out. With a dramatic dive, she manages to tag Grace, who storms in, clearing the ring.
Grace crushes Jade with a Vader Bomb for a near fall, followed by a double powerbomb from Zaria and Grace that nearly ends the match. After an intense exchange with everyone hitting big moves and collapsing, Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend make their way to ringside, stirring up even more chaos. A series of dives take down everyone outside, giving Perez the opportunity to get back in. But as Zaria accidentally spears Grace, she quickly recovers, landing an F5 on Perez to secure the win
Winners: Zaria, Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, Kelani Jordan, and Jordynne Grace
Fun NXT show last night with getting to see Dawn Marie on WWE TV again being a real treat. To absolutely no one’s surprise, the NXT Women’s Division is absolutely stacked atm with viable contenders popping up at every corner.

For the third year in a row, NXT Deadline will serve as the brands final premium live event of the year. General Manager Ava madd the announcement on the Nov. 6 episode of NXT. In this announcement she confirmed that the Iron Survivor Challenge will be back.
It the past two years, the Iron Survivor Challenge winners have gone on to have championship matches. The inaugural winner Roxanne Perez went on to face Mandy Rose and walk away as the NXT Women’s Champion. Blair Davenport won last year, but wasn’t able to take the gold off of Lyra Valkyria.
Earlier today Tony Khan had made the match official as “The CEO” Mercedes Moné will defend her TBS title against Kris Statlander at AEW Full Gear. Renee Paquette looks to get a word with Statlander and says she’s ready to go.
Suddenly, we hear tires screeching in the background and a shot of Statlander on the floor. We see Kamille in the driver seat of a car and Moné is furious that she missed. The CEO orders her to take her out, but Statlander’s adrenaline takes out both members of the Moné Corporation before security breaks it up.
Moné also sent a message for the women involved in the Four Way match at Friday’s NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed to determine the #1 contender for her NJPW Strong Women’s Championship. Either Anna Jay, Hazuki, Koguma, or Trish Adora will have the opportunity at Moné’s title at Strong Style Evolved in December.
A grudge match of sorts looks to get settled tonight as Penelope Ford returns to in-ring after an almost 2-year absence against Jamie Hayter, who had also come back just months ago. Both point fingers at each other for each of their untimely absences, but look to prove who the better woman is tonight.
These two have been WAITING for this opportunity to get their hands on each other!
The returning Ford has not missed a beat and continues to charge at Hayter as she attempts to fight back. Ford attempts to go for a Moonsault but Hayter counters and the two go back and forth. Unfortunately for Ford, Hayter hits a quick Hayterade out of nowhere to pick up the win.
What did you think of tonight’s AEW Dynamite? How was Ford’s in-ring return? Is everything alright within the Moné Corporation? And what’s in store for Shirakawa next week? Let us know in the comments below!
For their Tuesday show, the CMLL had only one women’s match, a traditional two-out-of three fall tag team match. the team-up of the Mexican National Women’s Champion Sanely and the third-generation Amazonian, Tabata, versus the veteran India Sioux and Candela.
The recently retired and turned full-time referee, La Vaquerita, was the referee of the match.
The match was started by La Dama del Guante negro, Sanely, against India Sioux; both second-generation wrestlers went back and forth, exchanging different types of holds and locks after Sarely was thrown out of the ring with an armdrag. When Tabata and Candela entered the ring, the pace of the match was slowed down a little bit between the young talents.
The match picked up after the team of Candela and India Sioux got the first fall, with a combo of a Northen lights suplex turned into a sit-out suplex facebuster and a hammerlock guillotine drop, respectively.
Shortly after, the heles were able to score their first fall with a double knee attack from Sanely to India Sioux while she was hanging from the second rope and an inverted suplex on Tabata’s end.
After the second fall, the highlights of the match were some double team action and two dives to the outside of the ring by the babyface team. The match ended via submission when both Candela and India sioux tapped out.
The match seemed to be more of an exhibition match than anything else, since these Amazonians have been tagging and working with each other as of late. The match was a little bit slow compared to your typical Lucha Libre tag match and had some timing issues, but you can tell there’s a lot of potential in them, including the less experienced ones like Candela and Tabata.
Sanely se lleva a India Sioux con una cruceta a las piernas y Tabata pone punto final a la batalla con Pulpo Guerrero sobre Candela.
As for the rest of the week, the CMLL announced two women’s matches so far for the weekend: a non-title tag team match between the CMLL Women’s Tag Team champions Tessa Blanchard and La Catalina vs. Zeuxis and Reyna Isis on Saturday, and a match between Reyna Isis and Persephone on Sunday.
What do you think about the match? Let us know in the comments below.
This week’s episode of iMPACT! On Nov. 7 will have two Knockouts matches featured.

The newly formed team of Ash by Elegance and Heather Reckless picked up a big win at Bound for Glory. Ash continued that momentum last week with a win over Dani Luna and her eyes set on tag team gold. This week, now dubbed as Heather by Elegance, Heather sill try to take out the other tag team champion in Spitfire – Jody Threat.

Judgment Day kicked off with a bang, setting the stage for a loaded night of action and rivalry. Commentary wasted no time highlighting Liv Morgan’s big Crown Jewel Title win, though she only keeps the symbolic ring. With her “Revenge Tour” over, Morgan declared it’s time for the “World Tour,” proudly listing her recent victories. But before she could continue, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair interrupted alongside Dominik Mysterio. Belair boasted about their success “last night,” but Morgan wasn’t buying into the hype
Morgan shot back, pointing out how Belair and Cargill’s rivalry comes from each thinking they’re the best—unlike her genuine friendship with Raquel Rodriguez. Belair took the bait, challenging them to a tag match, but Adam Pearce quickly stepped in, delaying the bout. Before long, Morgan’s commentary reignited the tension, leading to a brawl. Pearce, however, had a twist to keep things fair: a battle royal to decide the new #1 contender for Morgan’s title, with both Belair and Cargill added to the fray.
Battle Royal to determine #1 Contender for the Women’s World Championship
Right out of the gate, Carter and Chance brought the heat, diving off the top rope onto the crowd, setting up a round of cannonball catapults in the corner. Dawn was eliminated early, with Deville quickly dispatching Carter. Dupri got her moment in the spotlight with a flashy inverted Worm but was thrown out before long. Zelina Vega then landed a 619 to knock Ivy Nile out, just as the show cut to a break.
Returning from the break, Damage CTRL’s double dropkick knocked Natalya out of the match. Chance had walked on her hands to escape elimination earlier but was sent packing shortly after. Sane, Natalya, Deville, and Baszler were out, leaving only Valkyria, Belair, Cargill, and Sky—and the crowd was fully engaged.
Belair and Cargill cleared the ring, leaving each other for a tense face-off. Valkyria and Sky recovered, only to be hit with finishers. Just then, Morgan and Rodriguez interfered, leading to Belair’s shocking elimination as Morgan yanked her out by her hair! Cargill was pulled out with her, leaving Valkyria and Sky. On the apron, Sky nailed a German suplex to eliminate Valkyria and claim the victory.
Winner: Iyo Sky
The women’s division took center stage in the show’s opening, and with such a well-executed “themed” Battle Royal, there’s no doubt Iyo Sky’s earned her #1 contender spot. Can’t wait to see how this all plays out on the road to Survivor Series!

This championship is new to the promotion as Nieves became its inaugural champion by defeating Zoey Skye in August. This was Nieves’ first title defense.
