TNA’s Emergence event on Friday night delivered big moments for the Knockouts division. The Knockouts Tag Team Titles were defended in a Four Way match featuring champions The Elegance Brand (Heather & M by Elegance) against Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley & Jazmyn Nyx), The IInspiration, and Lei Ying Lee & Xia Brookside. Each team had backup at ringside: Ash by Elegance for the champions, Jacy Jayne for Fatal Influence, Masha Slamovich for Brookside and Lee, and Mara Sade for The IInspiration. As expected, tensions boiled over when the seconds erupted into a brawl outside the ring, creating complete chaos. Inside the ropes, the finish came when M by Elegance struck Cassie Lee with a tag team title belt, securing the pin and keeping the gold in The Elegance Brand’s hands. Earlier in the night, Indi Hartwell picked up a win on the kickoff show by defeating Rosemary in a physical clash. Emergence showed the Knockouts remain one of TNA’s most unpredictable and competitive divisions, with champions willing to bend the rules and challengers hungry for their chance at gold.

If there’s one thing I love about TNA Wrestling, it’s that the women never take a backseat. At Emergence, the Knockouts are set to bring the kind of chaos and intensity that keeps fans talking long after the final bell. The Knockouts World Tag Team Championship picture is as unpredictable as ever. The Elegance Brand may be walking in with the gold, but they’ll have to survive a four-way war against Fatal Influence, The IInspiration, and the rising force of Léi Yǐng Lee and Xia Brookside . This isn’t just a match—it’s a test of chemistry, grit, and who can thrive when the ring feels like rush hour traffic. And then there’s Rosemary . If you’ve been around TNA long enough, you know she doesn’t just wrestle—she haunts you. On Countdown to Emergence, she’s set to collide with Indi Hartwell after leaving her marked with that trademark green mist. Indi’s been climbing the Knockouts ranks, but Rosemary doesn’t care about your momentum. She cares about disruption, and she’s really good at it. From mind games to multi-team mayhem, the Knockouts are proving once again that they’re not just part of the show—they are  the show.

If you’re telling me AEW Dynamite in Cincinnati wasn’t a night for the women to steal the spotlight, then you weren’t watching the same show I was. Forget the parking lot brawls, the powder-in-the-face tricks, and the Young Bucks getting fined for kicking poor Justin Roberts. The real electricity came when six of AEW’s fiercest women tore the house down in a tag match that might have been more about mind games than wins and losses. You had Alex Windsor, Queen Aminata, and Willow Nightingale teaming up like they’ve been running the same block for years, taking on Mercedes Moné, Thekla, and Skye Blue. It’s already a big deal when you see that kind of talent in one ring, but add Toni Storm and Athena watching from the crowd like they were scouting prey, and you knew we were in for chaos. From the start, Windsor reminded everyone why she’s been on a tear lately, shutting down Skye Blue with the kind of crisp offense that makes you wonder how long until she’s draped in gold. But Mercedes Moné isn’t exactly the type to let someone else run the show. When she tagged in against Queen Aminata, we got that delicious collision of styles: speed and swagger versus raw power and precision. Aminata’s Chocolate Kisses had the TBS champ rocking for a minute, but the challengers got trapped in the wrong corner, and suddenly it was all Moné, Thekla, and Blue running the pace. That is, until Willow Nightingale entered the chat. The energy shift was instant. Willow doesn’t just wrestle, she changes the temperature in the building. One minute it’s all hope for the other team, the next it’s a cannonball in the corner and three women stacked like a bad poker hand. By the time things broke down completely, it was Windsor and Blue in the ring, and Windsor locked in a Sharpshooter so deep it might still be hurting this morning. But this wasn’t over when the bell rang. Storm and Athena went from balcony shade to arena-wide brawl, Mercedes and Windsor threw more shots, and it all ended with Toni Storm cutting the kind of promo that made it clear next week’s tag—Storm and Windsor versus Moné and Athena—isn’t just a tune-up for Forbidden Door, it’s a powder keg waiting to explode. That’s what I love about AEW’s women’s division right now. It’s not just the matches, it’s the layers. The championships aren’t just props, they’re magnets pulling every ego, grudge, and ambition into the same space until someone breaks. And judging by the way Windsor stared down Moné after that match, we’re about to see some breaking real soon. If Forbidden Door is going to be as stacked as it looks, don’t be surprised if the women walk out with the match of the night. And I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s Windsor’s name we’re talking about afterward. Which of these women do you think will make the biggest statement heading into Forbidden Door? Check out our watch-along and post-show with Courtney Rice.

This week’s WOW wasn’t just wrestling — it was a grudge-fueled, rope-shaking rollercoaster. Nikki Nashville came in all swagger and Southern grit, locking horns with lucha powerhouse Sylvia Sanchez. Nikki’s been clawing her way up the ranks, but Sylvia isn’t the type to roll over. Their match was pure push-and-pull, with the crowd eating up every near fall. Animal Instinct’s Goldie Collins and Katarina Jinx weren’t smiling — last time, The Mighty Mights, Sugar and Spice, pulled off a pint-sized shocker and took them down. Tonight was about revenge, but Sugar and Spice clearly didn’t get the memo about being the underdogs. These two came in ready to swing for the fences. Backstage, Samantha Smart kept running her mouth about stripping Tormenta of her title, but The Classmaster had other business. Holidead of The Darkside doesn’t just show up for a fight — she shows up to make it a war. The air was thick with bad intentions before they even touched. Then came the main event chaos. Miami’s Sweet Heat — Lovely Laurie and Lucious Lindsey Carson — versus Lana Star’s Holly Swag and Penelope Pink. Last time these four met, it turned into a wild brawl outside the ring, leaving the refs throwing up their hands. So, David McLane upped the ante: a Lumberjack Match. Every corner was surrounded by WOW Superheroes, making sure nobody ran and nobody hid. The energy was electric. Every slap, stomp, and clothesline rattled the ring. Would Holly and Penelope crush Sweet Heat’s dreams, or would the Miami twins walk out five-time WOW Tag Champs? By the final bell, it was clear — this feud is far from finished, and WOW fans wouldn’t have it any other way. Check out our watch-along and post show:

From the indies to the big leagues, Queen Aminata is living her dream—and she’s doing it on her own terms. After months of showing out on AEW programming and building serious momentum, Queen Aminata was officially announced as All Elite  on the February 16th episode of AEW Rampage, right after she scored a major win over Anna Jay. Now, during All In weekend, Aminata has given fans even more to celebrate. In a recent vlog, she opened up about her journey and confirmed what many suspected—she signed a three-year contract with AEW in 2024. “It’s crazy to think that when I was on the indies, all I wanted was to be a signed talent,” she shared, visibly emotional. “Now that I’ve signed a three-year contract with AEW, literally a year and a half into my contract, I am part of AEW All In. This is unreal. I can’t believe it. I feel this is just the beginning. What else is coming?” That energy? That’s the stuff of stars. Aminata didn’t just show up—she showed out, competing in the women’s casino gauntlet at All In and continuing her red-hot run on AEW TV. Lately, she’s been locking horns with international standout Thekla, and their feud has fans buzzing. It’s been a long time coming for Queen Aminata, whose grind on the independent scene has been both fierce and inspiring. And now that she’s officially All Elite, the crown fits just right.

Keep an eye out for more updates on the card, appearances, and all the chaos to come. November 22. Newark. Let’s ride.

Nattie Neidhart is proving more and more that there’s a difference between “Nattie” and “Natalya” — and this weekend, she reminded everyone in the most unforgiving environment possible: Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport. In a hard-hitting clash against former TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich, Nattie walked away with the victory, but not without leaving a trail of grit and bruises in her wake. The match hit its peak when Nattie locked in her signature Sharpshooter. Slamovich refused to tap, showing the same kind of defiance that’s made her one of the toughest in the game. But Nattie wasn’t done. She transitioned into a ground-and-pound assault, raining down hammerfists until the referee had seen enough. The official called for the stoppage, awarding Nattie the win by referee’s decision. It wasn’t pretty — and it wasn’t meant to be. Bloodsport is all about raw, stripped-down combat, and Nattie embraced every bit of it. This wasn’t the polished WWE Natalya fans know from TV. This was Nattie Neidhart, no ropes, no fluff, just pure fight. With this win, Nattie adds another layer to her already legendary career, showing she can hang — and win — in one of wrestling’s most brutal settings. And for Masha Slamovich, the loss may sting, but the fight she brought only solidifies her reputation as one of the most relentless competitors out there.

It’s been a minute since we’ve seen her, but the red, white, and blue is flying high again — Americana is back in the WOW ring! After stepping away to care for her son, the beloved Superhero made her triumphant return in Season 3, Episode 47, and you could feel the energy shift the second she walked out. Backing her every step was her old All American Girls  Tag Team partner, Santana Garrett, who made sure Americana’s comeback wasn’t just a moment… it was a statement. Her opponent? Scout Parker, who quickly learned that motherhood hasn’t slowed Americana down one bit. But that was just the start of the fireworks. For the first time ever, two long-standing Superheroes who’ve somehow managed to avoid each other — Fury and Xena Phoenix — finally locked up in the squared circle. Years of sidestepping each other led to one big question: who’s the tougher warrior? Spoiler alert… neither held back. Then it was all about revenge when Tiki Chamorro and Kalaki The Island Girl set their sights on BK Rhythm and Gigi Gianni. The Brat Pack might have gotten the upper hand last time, but the island vibes came crashing in like a tidal wave, ready to flip the script. And because WOW loves to throw in a little chaos, Chantilly Chella and Kara Kai brought in rookie Gabriella Cruz for a trios showdown against Coach Campanelli, Kandi Krush, and Gloria Glitter. New blood, high stakes, and the kind of non-stop action that makes you yell at your TV like it can hear you. From heartfelt returns to long-awaited first-time matchups, “All-American Return” reminded us exactly why WOW is where the drama meets the dropkicks. Americana’s back, the roster’s hotter than ever, and the road to the season finale is starting to look like one wild ride.

Leave it to WOW – Women Of Wrestling to roll into San Diego Comic-Con and steal the spotlight. Recently, the powerhouse all-female wrestling brand packed the room for a fiery panel titled WOW - Women Of Wrestling on Female Representation in Sports and Discovering New Talent. Co-owners Jeanie Buss and David McLane sat front and center, flanked by some of WOW’s most electrifying Superheroes: Miami’s Sweet Heat twins Lindsey and Laurie Carlson, fan-favorite Paola Mayfield, and the always dynamic Santana Garrett. The conversation, led by broadcast journalist and WOW correspondent Sibley Scoles, hit on everything from breaking barriers for women in sports to the wild ways comics have inspired wrestling’s most colorful characters.

WWE: Unreal Episodes 4 and 5 sealed the deal. From one of the biggest heel turns in modern WWE history to backstage moments you never thought you’d see, this docuseries just keeps giving. Let’s start with John Cena. Most of us never thought we'd see it. The eternal good guy. Hustle, loyalty, respect. And now? Full heel. The way they pulled it off behind the scenes, with only a handful of people in the know, was wild. They tried so hard to keep it a secret, and it actually worked. Most of the locker room didn’t even know until it was happening in real time. The payoff? Massive. That crowd reaction? Goosebumps. Then there’s New Day. That heel turn hit different. Watching them tap into something darker while still holding onto their charisma was gold. And now, the pop they’re getting for leaning into this new era? It’s clear the shift was exactly what they needed. One thing that really stood out to me was Triple H. The way he interacts with talent is so genuine. Whether it’s big names or rising stars, you can tell he makes time for everybody. There’s this quiet confidence and positive energy he brings that reminds you why he’s the guy holding it all together. Every backstage moment with him felt special, like you were watching a mentor keep the whole ship steady. I wish they had shown more of Main Event Jey Uso. He’s been levelling up in every way, and seeing more of how he transformed his body and mindset to be a top guy would’ve been amazing. That storyline deserves its flowers. Now, WrestleMania. Whew. They captured everything. The pressure. The pacing. The chaos and calm. The timeline was tight and emotional, and you felt the weight of every decision. From travel stress to entrance nerves to last-minute script tweaks, it gave you a true look at what it takes to make the biggest night of the year happen. One moment I loved? Watching Seth Rollins slowly transition into a Paul Heyman guy. It wasn’t forced. It made sense. And the way they showed that trust-building between them was surprisingly powerful. That’s the kind of storytelling that sticks with you. All in all, if you don’t want to know how the sausage is made, this show might not be for you. But for me, it didn’t ruin a thing. It made me love WWE more. This series made it clear how much heart, chaos, and creative grit goes into what we see in the ring. Here’s hoping for Season 2. And more women, please. Watch the whole season again and let us know what you think in the comments. I know I will. Check out our watch-along and post-show below:
