Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite from Oklahoma with the return of Jim Ross and some background into his recent D-Von Dudley controversy, a LIGHTS OUT main event with Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland joining forces but there were LOTS of lights out moments on this show... and the Don Callis family gets even MORE NEW MEMBERS.

Solomonster reviews the first WWE Raw of 2026 with CM Punk defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker and TWO title changes on the show, which also set up a major match for Germany next week.  Yet this was a perfect example of one of those WWE shows where things happen, but it largely feels lifeless and boring.  An oh yeah, Je'Von Evans was announced as the newest addition to the Raw roster... during a commercial break.

Solomonster reacts to NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 20 at the Tokyo Dome and FOUR of the key matches on the show, including the retirement of Hiroshi Tanahashi against Kazuchika Okada, the greatest retirement ceremony ever with some big cameos (and a big name missing)... the crowning of a NEW IWGP World champion and the return of the greatest belt in wrestling... the debut of Aaron Wolf and the New Japan star who could be on his way out of the company.

Tommaso Ciampa leaving WWE... lots of new faces on Smackdown... Darby Allin's brother and his marriage proposal gone wrong... and the best & worst taglines in WWE history!

Solomonster reviews the first WWE Smackdown of 2026 with a return to THREE hours, as well as the return of Randy Orton and arrival of new faces like Matt Cardona, Trick Williams and Jordynne Grace. Drew McIntyre also names his stipulations for Three Stages of Hell with Cody Rhodes next week in Berlin, Giulia regains the Women's US title and Damian Priest ends his rivalry with Aleister Black in an Amublance Match.  Certainly a newsworthy show, but was it a good one?
