Mason says he has traveled all across Europe, been to Japan, and went all around the world, and everywhere he goes, he turns heads. He says that even John Cena sees him, and it is not hard to notice "a flying human tank." Mason says he is not satisfied with everyone talking about him in pubs and going viral multiple times, and says that anyone who steps in the ring with him will find out that if they try to stop a human tank, they will get crushed. Tony D'Angelo shows up and says that Mason Rook has gotten his attention, but he will not let him make a name for himself at his expense.

Dion Lennox tells The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake, Myka Lockwood) that they want the NXT Tag Team Championships, and Saquon Shugars says that Cutler James and Osiris Griffin are about to commit a crime when they beat The Vanity Project for the titles. Ricky Smokes says that beating Hank Walker and Tank Ledger does not make them championship material, and Brad Baylor reminds DarkState that they took the titles from them and are the reason why Lennox and Saquon are at each others' throats. Baylor says they do not give handouts, but Cutler says they never got their rematch, and they are cashing in. He says that General Manager Robert Stone has approved the match for next week, but it will not be him and Osiris in the ring. Cutler says they need to be united, and that this is on Lennox and Saquon. Osiris says that Lennox and Saquon need to figure things out or else DarkState will have to change. The Vanity Project go for a cheap shot, but get taken down.

Roman Reigns is met by General Manager Adam Pearce as he enters the building. Pearce is considering firing Jacob Fatu, but Roman wants Jacob to acknowledge him in the ring, especially since he was the one to bring him here. Roman then heads to his dressing room.

The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Heyman praises Breakker's win over Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and says that Rollins is the one who is not ready, as he was not ready Breakker's physical onslaught and not ready for his wisdom, and Rollins will never be ready to have a vision of victory over The Vision. Heyman allows Theory to air his grievances. Theory addresses The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), who keep putting their nose in The Vision's business and need the tag team titles "because Bianca [Belair] can't pay the bills anymore." As Theory mentions Joe Hendry, The Street Profits show up. Montez says that since Bianca is busy with the baby, somebody had to come to Raw to beat The Vision's asses all over Knoxville, Tennessee. He also says that The Street Profits have returned for the World Tag Team Championships and that they are always up and wanting the smoke. Logan Paul says The Street Profits are a legendary team, but they are old news and have done nothing but organize a baby shower for the last six months. He also says that Bianca is better than Montez for stating that The Vision is always ready. All of a sudden, Joe Hendry shows up with his guitar and sings about getting Logan Paul fired again before the show goes to a commercial break.

The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) and Joe Hendry beat The Vision (Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) in a six-man tag match after Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up and stops Breakker's attempt at a Spear on the outside behind the referee's back, allowing Angelo Dawkins to pin Bron Breakker with a schoolkid pin for the win.

This leads to Pearce putting Dominik in a match against El Grande Americano I with the AAA Mega Championship on the line. Afterwards, Los Garzas (Angel and Berto) shows up asking Pearce for an opportunity.

Penta heads to the ring. Penta says that heard about "All Ego" Ethan Page talking about the Intercontinental Championship, and dares Ethan Page to say it to his face. Ethan Page shows up, says that Penta painted his face and put it under a mask to hide his identity while he is who he says he is. He also talks about how he pinned Penta in the middle of the ring last week, which makes him #1 contender, and says that Penta is afraid to lose to him again. Penta says he is not afraid to defend his title against him and that they can go right now, and Ethan says that while Penta is ready to go, he is not, then mentions the prestige of the Intercontinental title and says it needs the spotlight it deserves. Ethan then challenges Penta for the title at Saturday Night's Main Event, and Penta says that he is ready for the world and will face Ethan any time, anywhere. All of a sudden, Rusev shows up and tells Ethan Page that he is next in line for the title and tells Ethan to watch what he says, but Ethan says that he has talked to General Manager Adam Pearce and says he is the new guy while Ruev has been here longer. As Ethen says that even Je'Von Evans has said that he cannot beat Rusev, Je'Von Evans shows up to take on the rumor that he said that (he did not), then gets accosted and attacked by Rusev and Ethan. This starts a brawl where Je'Von and Penta come out on top.

Paige says they are ready for a fight, and Brie wants The Judgment Day to come to the ring. Raquel and Roxanne head to the ring, and Raquel welcomes them to Raw before Roxanne talks about how she saw Brie and Paige on TV while they were still young and relevant, and how she met the both of them as a young girl. She says that Brie set the bar so low as to expect her to continue the Bella legacy. Brie says that she has her confused with Liv Morgan and wanted Roxanne to make her own legacy, then says that Roxanne's mom is disappointed with her. Raquel tells Brie and Paige to save them the embarrassment and hand them the women's tag team titles, as they do not deserve them. Paige strikes Raquel with one of the titles, starting a brawl. Liv Morgan shows up and hits Paige with a Codebreaker, and the numbers game takes over before Liv, Raquel and Rodriguez celebrate.

Before the next match, Oba Femi declares that the open challenge has begun, then General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and says nobody was willing to answer the challenge and that the open challenge is cancelled for tonight. Oba Femi leaves the ring and heads to the back, saying that everyone is a coward, then finds and grabs Angel, throws him into Berto, and carries the both of them into the ring.

Oba Femi quickly beats Los Garza (Angel and Berto) in a two-on-one handicap match in the Oba Femi Open Challenge.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Logan Paul and Austin Theory. Logan says that if he has to listen to Joe Hendry's song one more time, he will "Vincent Van Gogh himself" and cut off his own ears. As Logan complains about the song, Theory wants Logan to relax. Logan and Theory then take a car out of the arena.

Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso head to the ring. It is not long before Jacob Fatu arrives, and "Main Event" Jey Uso tries to tell Jacob to think about this, as he will create a lot of problems for himself and his family is he does what he is about to do. Jacob responds by headbutting Jey and attacking him. Jacob then looks at the camera and tells Roman that he will have to beat the acknowledgment out of him before heading to the ring. Jacob lays Jimmy Uso out when Jimmy confronts him, then brawls with Roman in the ring and overpowers him until Roman counters a tope suicida attempt with a Superman Punch on the outside. Roman then produces a chair from underneath the ring and hits Jacob with it, but when he goes for a Spear, Jacob superkicks him before locking in the Tongan Death Grip and sending Roman out of the ring for a tope suicida. Jacob clears the announce table, and Roman hits Jacob with another Superman Punch. He goes for yet another Superman Punch, but Jacob puts Roman in another Tongan Death Grip and headbutts him before powerbombing him through the announce table. Officials finally make their way out, and Jacob locks the Tongan Death Grip on Roman again before officials force him to let go. That does not stop Jacob form trying again, and even tossing General Manager Adam Pearce away in the process. Jacob Fatu then lifts up the World Heavyweight Championship, then heads to the back before rushing back and plowing Roman Reigns and The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) through the barricade to end the show.

Let's Go! - LFG recap for May 10, 2026

Matt Bloom has three matches lined up. Booker T gets a tag match betwee the team of PJ Vasa and Sirena Linton (the latter of whom has since been released) and the team of Layla Diggs and Masyn Holiday. Mason is the least experienced person in the match, but is catching on quick due to her athletic background. Bubba Ray gets Trill London (who has since been released) and Braxton Cole, the latter of whom Matt Bloom would like to be less of an overthinker and go by his instincts. Kevin Owens and Natalya gets to work with Tate Wilder and Anthony Luke, the latter of whom is now Kam Hendrix. The former is more of a risk taker, while Matt wants the latter to be less hokey in the ring. Their match will have a promo before the wrestling begins.

Bubba Ray Dudley meets with Braxton Cole, a former football defensive lineman who managed to get a tryout with WWE out of the blue after college and managed to make the cut. He also meets with Trill London, and tells him to do his own thing and make him forget about Jeff Hardy. Bubba wants Braxton to put his brain over and outsmart Trill in the ring and Trill to do what he does best in the ring.

Trill London beats Braxton Cole. During the match, Trill London performs what looks like a single arm flapjack but comes up short in the execution, which causes Booker T to believe that Trill London needs better balance. They also noticed that Trill got gassed near the end of the match. After the match, Bubba Ray says things went well, but Trill needs to do the moves that he does best and drop the moves that he can't do as well. Trill mentions that he always challenges himself by trying to do new moves until he gets them right, but takes the advice well. Matt Bloom says that Trill needs to find a move set that lets him stay healthy, or else he will not get booked. Braxton Cole noticed that he and Trill had the crowd in their hands but started losing them near the end, and chalks it up to the learning process.

We are introduced to Masyn Holiday, who talks about her athletic background and how she prefers to be part of a tag team match. Layla Diggs admits that she and Masyn are used to working heel, but says that working babyface will get easier from understanding and memorizing the flow of a wrestling match.

Layla Diggs and Masyn Holiday beat Sirena Linton and PJ Vasa. Bubba Ray and Booker T agree that the match went well. Afterwards, Booker tells all four women that they did a great job and that their match is a blueprint for what they all need to do going forward. Matt Bloom asks Layla and Masyn to make it more clear if they are heel or babyface. Sirena Linton comes out of the meeting with Matt Bloom that there is always something to improve on.

We are introduced to Tate Wilder, who has a background in extreme sports and rodeo. He has spent two years in the Performance Center, with the first fifteen months injured, which he feels fits him. We are re-introduced to Anthony Luke, now Kam Hendrix, who says that everything matters in presentation and that he has prepared himself to be Kam Hendrix. Natalya works with Kam Hendrix and tells him that he should be "the chandelier in the house." Kevin Owens works with Tate Wilder regarding a pre-match promo, and Tate Wilder gets inspired. Owens sees Wilder as "level-headed."

Before the next match, Tate Wilder introduces himself and says that while there are a lot of talented people in the locker room, he is willing to take the crazy risk and jump off the cliff to see if he can survive. He says that he acts first and thinks second, and while he makes mistakes, he is ready to make them and he is still standing. He says that to make a name for one's self, you have to call out the baddest, and he calls out Kam Hendrix to show that it is not showtime and that it is his time. Kam Hendrix shows up and says LFG is his show and that he has been watching Wilder's come-up, then says that Tate Wilder is foolish to call him out as he is going to succeed where Wilder will fail. It is noticed by both Natalya and the commentary team that Kam Hendrix is at a loss at points during his promo.

Kam Hendrix beats Tate Wilder. After the match, Hendrix says that tonight was not his best performance. Owens tells Wilder that his promo was , but Hendrix pie-facing him at the end of the match is brought up. Hendrix says that he tripped, and that it will be very evident in the match footage. Afterwards, Hendrix says that he is disappointed with himself and that this could be his last chance. Matt Bloom says that Kam Hendrix should take a step back and see how he can get better.

Kam Hendrix meets with Matt Bloom regarding the recent match. Matt Bloom says that mistakes are needed to grow, then pulls Hendrix from LFG for a brief time and tells him to get to work.

Championship Gold - Championship Wrestling recap for May 10, 2026

Jonny Loquasto introduces Royce Isaacs to the ring to start tonight's show. Isaacs says he has come back after seven long years of travelling the world, cashing lots of checks and winning lots of championships, and that he has returned to do the same thing. Loquasto mentions what happened at Sunday Night Slam and announces that he has another shot at the UWN Heritage Championship, much to the chagrin of Jordan Castle, who shows up with "One in a Million" Maximilien. He calls this a new low even for Loquasto, who he accuses as having it out for him and Maximilien, and says the rematch will not happen unless he and Maximilien get something. Jordan Castle says that if Royce Isaacs loses, he cannot challenge for the Heritage Championship ever again. Loquasto says that Castle is not in the position to make demands and that his stipulation is null and void. Royce Isaacs says that he knows he can not only beat Maximilien, but he is better than him and even Jordan Castle knows it. Royce Isaacs accepts the challenge and the stipulation, and Loquasto makes it official for next week. Maximilien then stares Isaacs down, and Isaacs punks Maximilien out, causing Maximilien to flinch. Jordan Castle has to hold Maximilien back.

He says he does not have answers about what has happened and that he cannot ignore it, and that he cannot stop thinking about it. He demands that Pagano step in the ring and give him answers. Pagano shows up and heads to the ring, and Psycho Clown says it has been several weeks and that his brothers have been falling one by one, and all the facts that are in front of him are making him think it is one of them. He tells Pagano to be careful of what he accuses him of, as he has seen Murder Clown attacked on the ground and he found the black bandana near him, which he produces. Pagano takes it from his hand, and Psycho Clown says it breaks his heart that his brothers are being attacked from within before asking Pagano what is going on. Pagano says that after all they have been through, all the wars they fought together and all the blood and sweat they spent defending the tag team titles, he would not think of attacking his own brothers. He says that this is not a test, but a game, of someone who wants to destroy what is left. He says that he understands why Psycho Clown would accuse him of what is happening, then tells Psycho Clown to look himself in the mirror, because it was not him. He says that he could never turn his back on Psycho Clown's family. Psycho Clown leaves the ring, and Pagano says that when the truth comes out, Psycho Clown will find out that he was never on the wrong side. All of a sudden, The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) attack Psycho Clown from behind, and Pagano makes the save and forces them to retreat.

Backstage, an angry "Jungle" Jack Perry says that winning the AEW National Championship in front of friends and family in his hometown was one of the proudest moments in his career and that Don Callis and Mark Davis ruined it for him, but he happens to know that Chris Jericho and The Hurt Syndicate are looking for two more partners in Stadium Stampede.
