This week’s WWE NXT featured a Jordynne Grace-Giulia main event, plus a big battle royal for a shot at the NXT Title. WWE released the following NXT wrestlers last week. As somebody who has covered this show, I have seen many of them develop from having very little experience on TV to being pretty good performers over the last three or four years.

The John Report: WWE SmackDown 05/02/25 Review – TJR Wrestling

1 week ago | tjrwrestling.net | John Canton

This is WWE SmackDown featuring Aleister Black’s in-ring return against The Miz, Randy Orton speaks, Tiffany Stratton & Jade Cargill team up, and more. Last week on SmackDown, there was an incredible TLC match for the WWE Tag Team Titles. The Street Profits retained the titles in a triple threat match with #DIY and The Motor City Machine Guns. It might be the best match in SmackDown history. I rated it five stars out of five, and I absolutely loved it.
TNA Impact Review – May 1, 2025 – TJR Wrestling

1 week ago | tjrwrestling.net | John Canton

By TJR Staff • Published 3rd May 2025 This week’s live TNA Impact featured The Hardys & Joe Hendry teaming up against The Nemeths & Frankie Kazarian in the main event. I really enjoyed Sunday’s TNA Rebellion PPV. I gave it 7.75/10 and thought it had 3 matches at or above the 4-star mark. The match of the night for me was Mustafa Ali vs Mike Santana in a feud-ending Falls Count Anywhere match.
Ben Affleck Expresses Interest In Playing Ric Flair In A Movie – TJR Wrestling

1 week ago | tjrwrestling.net | John Canton

The name Ric Flair was mentioned during a discussion, which led to interesting comments from Ben Affleck about the wrestling legend. As one of the most famous professional wrestlers ever, Ric Flair has led an exciting life in the spotlight for the past 50 years. While Ric Flair had a lot of success in the ring as a 16-time World Champion who reached legendary status, he also lived a hard life full of partying, which Flair isn’t shy about bragging about.
Hulk Hogan Forgets When He Faced Brock Lesnar In WWE – TJR Wrestling

1 week ago | tjrwrestling.net | John Canton

Hulk Hogan’s timeline was way off when trying to remember when he wrestled Brock Lesnar in a WWE ring. The name of Hulk Hogan is in the news again because The Hulkster and Eric Bischoff revealed they’d partnered with Izzy Martinez to launch Real American Freestyle Wrestling. It won’t be the same as pro wrestling in WWE or MMA fighting like we see in the UFC, but it will allow freestyle wrestlers to be presented as a professional sport.

This week’s AEW Dynamite featured Adam Page battling Kyle Fletcher and an All-Star 8-man tag team match featuring Kenny Omega on one side and Kazuchika Okada on the other side. This was AEW Dynamite episode #291 from the Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. Follow me on Twitter/X @johnreport. Let’s get to it. It’s Wednesday night, and you know what that means. The commentary team was Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Taz.
The John Report: WWE NXT 04/29/25 Review – TJR Wrestling

2 weeks ago | tjrwrestling.net | John Canton

This week’s WWE NXT featured Iyo Sky & Jordynne Grace teaming up against Roxanne Perez & Giulia, while Ricky Saints faced Lexis King. The NXT crew is back home in Orlando this week after being in Las Vegas for last week’s show. I’ll go with a summary style for most of the show and then switch to a play-by-play style for one or two matches. There was a report that Roxanne Perez and Giulia are considered WWE main roster wrestlers now, but they are still on NXT tonight.
The John Report: WWE Raw Deal 04/28/25 Review – TJR Wrestling

2 weeks ago | tjrwrestling.net | John Canton

It’s WWE Raw featuring words from Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker & Paul Heyman, plus Rhea Ripley facing Roxanne Perez, and more. I thought last week’s Raw After WrestleMania was an excellent show. The main event ending with Rollins, Breakker & Heyman together as a new faction is an awesome trio and I’m interested to see if they grow from there. The WWE Backlash PLE is coming up quickly on May 10th, so it will be interesting to see what matches take place on that show.
