Date: August 24, 2026
Location: Canadian Tire Middle, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves
We’re in Canada for an sooner than typical present, which goes to have lots of fallout. The massive story popping out of final week’s present was Solo Sikoa rejecting the order to rejoin the Bloodline and as a substitute siding with LA Knight. That isn’t going to go properly for both of them and the Bloodline goes to have a response. Let’s get to it.
We open with a recap of final week’s Sikoa/Knight/Bloodline points.
Right here is Knight for a chat. He’s within the capital of Canada so he needs to speak a few coward with a capital C. It’s no secret that he needs the World Title and Roman Reigns informed Knight to win a event that he can’t even enter. Knight is aware of that he’s going to need to cope with lots of the household and there may be already one man with him. That may be Solo Sikoa, who pops up within the crowd. Sikoa thanks Knight for having his again final week and who might have seen this coming only a yr in the past?
Knight says Sikoa has gotten a warning shot however listed here are the Usos to interrupt. They don’t like what Sikoa did and situation him one other warning shot, with Sikoa doing the Matrix bullet time. The Usos don’t take care of that both and the problem for the tag match is issued for tonight. Sikoa: “You bought my again?” Knight: “YEAH! You bought my again?” Sikoa: “PEW!” Not precisely stunning stuff right here however Sikoa is extremely entertaining in the mean time.
We recap the #1 contenders event.
Stephanie Vaquer vs. Roxanne Perez
The opposite girls of the Judgment Day are right here with Perez. Vaquer knocks her away to start out and works on the arm. Again up they usually commerce rollups for 2 every till Vaquer ties her up once more. A Judgment Day distraction lets Perez knock her exterior although and it’s a whip into the barricade as we take a break. We come again with Vaquer in hassle and Liv Morgan yelling from ringside (Morgan: “I’m higher than you! And I’m prettier than you!”) till Vaquer makes the comeback.
Some clotheslines arrange the Satan’s Kiss (it’s nonetheless over) and Perez tries to go to the ground. That earns her a pull again inside however the referee has to repair the ring skirt, permitting Perez to go to the eyes. A Shining Wizard provides Perez two so it’s off to the crossface however Vaquer is up with the SVB. Morgan cuts her off on prime although and that’s sufficient to carry out Becky Lynch. Vaquer cuts Rodriguez off and appears to thank Lynch earlier than going again inside. Perez misses a moonsault and it’s a double underhook facebuster to present Vaquer the pin at 13:14.
Ranking: B-. There was loads occurring right here however Lynch and Vaquer as the feminine model of Sikoa and Knight going after the massive steady with the title as the final word purpose is working. Vaquer looks like she belongs at this stage and if that may proceed, they need to be in for one thing good within the upcoming weeks.
Submit match Vaquer thanks Lynch, who appears to say that Vaquer owes her two.
We take a look at Huge Cass beating up Je’Von Evans.
The Judgment Day appears to threaten Rey Mysterio, with Evans working in for the save. Rey is reasonably appreciative.
#1 Contenders Match Semifinals: Dragon Lee vs. Rey Fenix
Fenix’s AAA Cruiserweight Title isn’t on the road. They commerce flips to start out till Lee sends him into the nook for the working dropkick. Fenix is true again with a kick to the pinnacle right into a excessive crossbody for 2 as Lee bails out to the ground. An enormous moonsaults takes Lee down once more however he snaps off a German suplex again inside. Which means the massive working flip dive can take Fenix out on the ground as we take a break.
We come again with Lee preventing out of hassle and loading Fenix into the Tree Of Woe for the massive double stomp. Fenix is distributed exterior for a loopy working flip dive onto the announcers’ desk (that appeared nice). Again in and a twister DDT drops Fenix for 2 however he’s again up with a brainbuster (with commentary calling it collectively for further emphasis). The Mexican MuscleBuster is reversed right into a Kinds Conflict to present Lee two extra however Fenix is true again with a rolling cutter. Now the Mexican MuscleBuster can provide Fenix the pin at 13:31.
Ranking: B+. Take two younger, gifted excessive fliers and allow them to go nuts for awhile. It’s labored earlier than and it labored once more right here, which is nice to see. Fenix going ahead in opposition to Penta (as a result of it’s going to be Penta) is the correct name because it provides a private contact to the finals. Lee held up his finish right here although as that flip dive was superior. Outstandingly entertaining match right here and I had a good time with it.
Lola Vice (not named however fairly clear) is approaching September 14.
Listed here are Paul Heyman and Adam Pearce for the Oba Femi/Bron Breakker contract signing. Breakker sits down and pauses earlier than signing. He asks what Femi has completed to be seen as the long run round right here. Yeah he squashed a bunch of individuals and beat Brock Lesnar. That doesn’t sound like a championship.
Eight months in the past, Breakker had this place within the palm of his hand, however then he received harm. He took himself out, as a result of nobody round right here might take him out, together with Femi. Then Femi took Breakker’s spot and is doing the whole lot he was doing. Femi: “Bron, you might be an indignant orange man.” Breakker underestimates him, but when Breakker had debuted in 2002 or 2015, he would have been the massive canine in opposition to John Cena. Nevertheless it’s 2026 and Breakker has to run in opposition to Oba Femi. Now Femi goes to indicate Breakker what’s coming for him, which appears to have Breakker considering twice.
Breakker says he’s going to make Femi battle within the deep waters and it’s going to go away Femi as a sorry wrestler in the midst of the ring who can’t compete. Breakker indicators and asks if Femi needs to do the identical. He asks if Femi’s daddy ought to do it for him. Breakker: “Yeah signal it Paul.” Heyman: “Don’t do that.”
Heyman isn’t pleased and Breakker grabs him by the jacket, which is sufficient for an inexpensive shot on Femi. That’s sufficient for Heyman to vamoose as Femi is again up. Cue Austin Concept from behind and Breakker….can’t hit the Tremendous Spear. As an alternative Breakker will get clotheslined to the ground and Concept is put via the desk. With Breakker on the ground, Femi indicators as properly to make the match official. Femi sounded so pure on the mic whereas Breakker sounded shaky.
The Usos, with their black necklaces, are able to run the play however mock Jacob Fatu for not being on their stage.
Huge Cass vs. Je’Von Evans
Evans kilos away to start out however will get reduce off with out a lot hassle. He’s again as much as knock Cass exterior and tries a dive, which Cass pulls out of the air. Cass beats on him on the ground and grabs a spinning Boss Man Slam again inside as we take a break. We come again with Evans hammering away and hitting a giant dive over the barricade and into the timekeeper’s space. Evans: “I’m about to whip your a**!” Extra proper arms have Cass in hassle and the spinning kick connects inside. The OG Cutter is loaded up however Cass cuts him off, with a giant boot ending Evans at 8:48.
Ranking: B-. They saved this easy, with Evans wanting revenge and firing off the whole lot he might till he caught with an excessive amount of energy. That’s an concept that has labored endlessly in wrestling and it labored once more right here too. I’m unsure what the endgame is with Cass in the mean time, however each week that he’s right here on his personal is one week with out Enzo and meaning it’s a superb week.
Submit match Judgment Day jumps Evans, with Dominik Mysterio hitting a frog splash.
Sol Ruca is prepared for the Judgment Day when Iyo Sky is available in for some guffawing hugs. Lyra Valkyria is available in and says she’s their buddy too. She needs Ruca’s match in opposition to Raquel Rodriguez however Ruca turns her down. Valkyria just isn’t pleased and this most likely gained’t finish properly.
#1 Contenders Match Semifinals: Penta vs. La Parka
Penta begins quick and sends him to the ground for the massive dive. Parka fights proper again and hits a moonsault however dives right into a superkick again inside. The backstabber has Parka in additional hassle and we take a break. We come again with Penta preventing again and slicing Parka off once more. The tremendous Spanish Fly cuts Parka off once more however strolling right into a powerslam. Penta is true again to knock him into the nook for a handstand dropkick. Parka is true again with a twister DDT they usually go to the highest, with Parka grabbing a brilliant Spanish Fly. Penta shrugs that off and the springboard Mexican Destroyer connects to present Penta the pin at 9:54.
Ranking: B. Yeah it was enjoyable and the excessive spots labored, however this entire event has been little greater than a countdown to Penta successful (they’ve all however introduced him as successful in AAA). Parka is somebody who can get some consideration and the followers know who he’s so placing him on the market was fantastic. This was all about Penta although and that’s all it ought to have been.
Submit match Penta and Rey Fenix have a staredown.
LA Knight and Solo Sikoa affirm their friendship earlier than the primary occasion.
Ethan Web page interrupts Chad Gable and suggests he must be Intercontinental Champion. Gable factors out that Web page price himself the title shot within the gauntlet match.
Right here’s what’s coming subsequent week.
We recap Stephanie Vaquer vs. Roxanne Perez.
Vaquer is informed that she will get a title shot in two weeks and though she didn’t want it, she thanks Becky Lynch for her assist. She’s coming for the title in two weeks and is able to destroy Judgment Day.
Usos vs. LA Knight/Solo Sikoa
Jimmy will get despatched into the nook to start out and Sikoa is true there with a working Umaga Assault and the early close to fall. The Usos are again as much as knock Sikoa exterior for the double superkick although and we take a break. We come again with Sikoa preventing his approach out of hassle however getting caught by Jey’s leaping enziguri. Jey cuts off one other comeback try however the working Umaga Assault takes too lengthy, permitting Sikoa to get in a clothesline.
Knight and Jimmy each are available in, with the previous firing off the left arms. Every thing breaks down and Jey’s suicide dive is reduce off. A superkick isn’t reduce off although and Jey talks about Roman Reigns, just for Royce Keys to sort out Jey and Sikoa via the barricade. Cue NXT’s OTM (Bronco Nima/Lucien Worth, a powerhouse group) to leap the Usos, in addition to Knight. We’ll say the match is thrown out at about 9:30.
Ranking: C+. Uh, yeah I’m unsure on this one, as OTM was hardly a giant time group in NXT after which right here they’re. I can go together with Keys getting some assist and that’s a superb factor, however dang this feels out of nowhere. Hopefully it winds up working as I like OTM, however this entire story simply took a reasonably bizarre step.
Submit match the beating continues, with Keys utilizing the steps to beat on a bunch of individuals, together with Sikoa and Knight. Jimmy is put via the announcers’ desk and the brand new group poses to finish the present. The followers weren’t precisely thrilled right here and I get it, as OTM is simply such a random choose for this spot.
Outcomes
Stephanie Vaquer b. Roxanne Perez – Double underhook facebuster
Rey Fenix b. Dragon Lee – Mexican MuscleBuster
Huge Cass b. Je’Von Evans – Huge boot
Penta b. La Parka – Springboard Mexican Destroyer
