Welcome to this week’s review of Impact Wrestling, which this week opens with a Before the Impact match that saw Gisele Shaw defeat Heather Reckless. Let’s get into the review…

Match #1: The Coven (Taylor Wilde & KiLynn King) def. Trinity & Deonna Purrazzo The following is courtesy of impactwrestling.com:

Trinity takes King off her feet with a diving back elbow. King turns the tide by driving Trinity face-first into the corner turnbuckle. Trinity creates separation with a double dropkick to both members of The Coven, before pummeling Wilde with a series of fists in the corner. Purrazzo tags herself into the match but Wilde makes her pay. Purrazzo fights off an attack from King, allowing her to make the tag to Trinity. As Trinity heads to the top, Wilde rakes her eyes from the apron. The Coven cut off the ring and begin the wear-down process on Trinity.

Welcome to this week’s review of Aew Dark: Elevation which sees the show get back to a longer card, featuring seven matches this week. We’ve got Excalibur, Anthony Ogogo and Mark Henry on commentary and Serena Deeb and Mercedes Martinez re-teaming for more women’s tag action! Let’s get into the review…

Match #1: Serena Deeb and Mercedes Martinez def. Heather Reckless and Tootie Lynn

My Thoughts: Serena Deeb and Mercedes Martinez are re-teaming once again for more tempestuous women’s tag team wrestling. The duo work together on a knife-edge and it has brought an interesting air of tension to their matches so far – and this one’s no different. Like their last pairing, this was an example of an Aew quasi-squash match, with Deeb and Martinez giving Heather Reckless and Tootie Lynn a modicum of space to Try and get some offence in!

My Score:...

It’s Monday morning, so you know what that means… it’s time for our review of Friday night’s episode of Aew: Rampage, which this week emanated from the Cable Dahmer Arena in Independence, Mo. We’ve got just Excalibur and Taz on commentary this week, so let’s get right to the review!

Match #1: Eddie Kingston def. Jake Hager The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:

Kingston and Hager went right at it, slugging away at one another. Hager hit Eddie with a short arm clothesline, already dazed by the Mma prowess of Hager. Kingston was sent to the outside of the ring by Hager. Back in the ring, Hager continued to grind Kingston down with a forearm to Kingston’s back. Hager dumped Kingston back out to the floor and then suplexed him on the outside. Hager connected with more forearm strikes to Kingston’s back.

Welcome to this review of this weeks episode of Aew: Dark, I’m editor Phil and this weeks episode of Dark is Not from Aew Universal, instead this was filmed on the road in St. Louis and the larger crowd definitely makes a difference. Oh, and we’re back to nearly two hours of wrestling this week too!

Match #1: The Gunn Club def. Dark Order

My Thoughts: You’ve got to feel sorry for the Dark Order having to give up a winning streak to the Gunn Club of all people. I have no idea why Aew is insisting on having Billy Gunn and his two sons have an undefeated streak – it’s not like they’re remarkable wrestlers, they personify the midcard/jobber role perfectly and Dark Order are way above that station; and they have great skills to back that up. Uno, Reynolds and Cabana made this match work.
