This weekend’s schedule features a pay-per-view card from Toronto, the end of NOAH’s month-long N-1 tourney, a big Joshi card from Tokyo, the last of Money in the Bank qualifiers and much more. Here’s a guide to all the top professional wrestling events going down this weekend, plus when and where to catch each one.
Friday
WWE Friday Night Smackdown / 8 p.m. ET / USA Network
The final spots in this year’s Money in the Bank ladder matches will be determined tonight when WWE Friday Night Smackdown heads to the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.
The men’s match sees ex-world champ Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, plus Johnny Gargano, who only recently sprung up from his catatonic state, meeting in a three-way. Recent NXT call-up Tatum Paxley will try for her first MITB appearance when she battles in a match also featuring Tiffany Stratton and Candice LeRae.
Along with the qualifiers, we’re expected to see Blake Monroe finally have her first-ever match on Smackdown, meeting rival Giulia. Keyword: “Expected.” Last time a Monroe match was scheduled, it ended up getting thrown out at the last minute. That’s always a possibility.
- Giulia vs. Blake Monroe
- Tatum Paxley vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Candice LeRae (Women’s Money in the Bank Qualifier)
- Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens vs. Johnny Gargano (Men’s Money in the Bank Qualifier)
REVOLVER Tales from the Ring IX / 8 p.m. ET / Youtube
Sami Callihan’s Pro Wrestling REVOLVER brand has quite the strong indie lineup tonight from Dayton, Ohio, and it’ll all be streaming live and free via Youtube.
Tonight’s busy show as part of Tales from the Ring 9 is headlined by a scaffold match involving the trio of Trey Miguel, Rich Swann & Jake Crist defending their belts against Tye or Die. I’m equally interested and scared to see how that one plays out.
- Crash vs. Gringo Loco vs. Bigg Pound vs. Kiran Grey vs. Troy Parker vs. Starman (24/7 Scramble Championship)
- Alan Angels & Aaron Solo vs. LMW & Alpha Sig (West Coast Pro Tag Team Championships)

- Trey Miguel, Rich Swann & Jake Crist vs. Amazanga, KJ Reynolds & Ryan Matthias (REVOLVER World Tag Team Championships) (Scaffold Match)
CMLL Viernes Espectacular / 10 p.m. ET / Youtube
CMLL’s Women’s History Month celebrations will kick off tonight in Arena Mexico. This evening’s show will be headlined by a battle royal showcasing some of the top names in the company’s women’s division. A favorite entering this one will of course be AEW dual-contract wrestler Persephone, who has established herself as the division’s top name with a recent title reign.
This lineup has quite the fun co-main event matchup, with Speedball Mike Bailey working alongside Mistico and Templario to face a Soberano Jr.-led trio.
If you’re a subscriber to CMLL’s top paid tier, you’ll be able to catch this one tonight:
- Alexius vs. Feroz
- Tabata & Nexy vs. Metalica & Valkyria

Saturday
TJPW Wrestle Princess VII / 12:30 a.m. ET / Wrestle Universe
In the early hours of Saturday morning, Tokyo Joshi Pro will present its biggest card of the year, Wrestle Princess VII.
Live from the Ota City General Gymnasium in Tokyo, the prominent Joshi brand has a stacked lineup set to go down in just a few hours. Sitting atop the card is a huge champion-versus-champion showdown between Yuki Arai and Suzume.
Suzume has held TJPW’s secondary title, the International Princess Championship, for an impressive near 200 days thus far. But she has yet to capture the brand’s top belt, the Princess of Princess Championship, a title TJPW has only awarded a select few over the years.
After working her way through this summer’s Princess Cup, Suzume has set herself up to challenge Yuki Arai in the main event of tomorrow’s show. If successful, Suzume would achieve incredibly rare double-champ status while also joining the exclusive club of Princess of Princess titleholders. This all to say, Saturday is the biggest match of Suzume’s career thus far. No pressure. Jokes aside, I have high hopes for that match, and I wouldn’t object to the underrated Suzume getting her crowning moment with a win.
As is usually the case with TJPW, there’s a mix of serious and silly on the undercard. Miyu Yamashita facing Arisu Endo could be a banger. Shoko Nakajima and Zara Zakher could be fun. Jushin Thunder Liger reffing a match between Mizuki and Hyper Misao could be… Something. I’m not sure what that could be, but I’m interested to see.
- Uta Takami vs. Ren Konatsu
- HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Mifu Ashida vs. Shion Kanzaki, Momo Sato & Chieri Sakimori
- Raku & Minimo vs. Pom Harajuku & Pokotan vs. Mahiro Kiryo & TAMA
- Aja Kong, Sakura Hattori & Kumadori vs. Chris Brookes, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
- Yuki Kamifuku & VENY vs. Wakana Uehara & Toga
- Mizuki vs. Hyper Misao (Special Guest Referee Jushin Thunder Liger)
- Shoko Nakajima vs. Zara Zakher (SETUP All-Asia Women’s Championship)
- Miyu Yamashita vs. Arisu Endo (EVE International Championship)
- Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe vs. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (TJPW Princess Tag Team Championships)
- Yuki Arai vs. Suzume (TJPW Princess of Princess Championship)
Maple Leaf Pro: Northern Rising 2026 / 8 p.m. ET / MyAEW PPV
After 12 weeks of TV, presenting the first season of “Mayhem,” Scott D’Amore’s Maple Leaf Pro brand will return to the Mattamy Athletic Centre (the former grounds of the famous Maple Leaf Gardens) for the second-annual Northern Rising pay-per-view tomorrow night.
D’Amore has put together an eight-match card, with each bout carrying a storyline built through the past three months of TV. Appearing in front of a venue that means a lot to him, Adam Copeland will try to defend the pride of Canada against heel ex-TNA star Steve Maclin. In a title unification bout, the returning Josh Alexander and interim champ Stu Grayson will battle to see who the real face of the company is. After issuing an open challenge to any luchador in the world, Rohan Raja will see if he bit off more than he could chew when he takes on AEW’s Andrade El Idolo.
This is a strong card, in my opinion. Honestly, if you’re someone who hasn’t followed along with the TV program, I could see you not being interested. But for those who have kept up with the product, I feel this is a PPV-worthy show for sure.
- Kingsley & Alexia Nicole vs. Alice Crowley & Jody Threat
- Mark Andrews, Flash Morgan Webster & Mascara Dorada vs. TJP, Johnny TV & Gabriel Fuerza
- Andrade El Idolo vs. Rohan Raja
- Dan Maff vs. Psycho Mike vs. Crazzy Steve (Monster’s Mayhem)
- Sheldon Jean & Brent Banks vs. Judas Icarus & Travis Williams vs. James Drake & Zach Gibson (Maple Leaf Pro Tag Team Championships)
- Adam Copeland vs. Steve Maclin
- Priscilla Kelly vs. Nikki Storm (Maple Leaf Pro Women’s Championship)
- Josh Alexander vs. Stu Grayson (Maple Leaf Pro Championship)
AEW Collision / 8 p.m. ET / TNT
Days after an incredibly emotional tribute show for the late PAC, AEW will visit the Truist Arena in Highland Heights, Kentucky, for a live edition of Collision. Nothing has been announced for tomorrow night’s card just yet, although we should get some details soon.
Sunday
NOAH N-1 Victory Finals / 1:30 a.m. ET / Wrestle Universe
NOAH’s biggest tournament of the year, the N-1 Victory, will finally come to a close this Sunday when they head to Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan. By the end of this weekend, we’ll know who the first challenger for the newly-crowned champ Tetsuya Naito will be.
Considering how many former GHC Heavyweight Champions entered into this year’s tournament, it’s no surprise that the finals has two names looking to reclaim that top spot in the company.
Emerging from the A Block is Kaito Kiyomiya, a three-time ex-champ who hopes an N-1 Victory trophy win could help propel him into the title picture for the first time in nearly two years. On the other side is OZAWA, who burned through a pair of title chances earlier this year, but could secure yet another after winning the promotion’s toughest tournament.
Along with the N-1 Finals, junior heavyweight tag gold will be on the line in the co-main event, and heavyweight champ Naito will appear on the undercard.
- Atsushi Kotoge & Yuto Koyanagi vs. Black Mensore & Hiroya Namiki
- Yoshiki Inamura & Chen vs. Kazuyuki Fujita & Titus Alexander
- Kenoh, Muhammad Yone, Hi69 & Hiroto Tsuruya vs. Masa Kitamiya, Takashi Sugiura, Alpha Wolf & Kai Fujimura
- Manabu Soya, Yuki Iino & Shuji Kondo vs. KENTA, Shane Haste & Tetsuya Endo
- Tetsuya Naito & RYUSEI vs. Kouga & Daiki Odashima
- Naomichi Marufuji & HAYATA vs. BUSHI & TBA
- Dragon Bane & Alejandro vs. YO-HEY & Jun Masaoka (GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships)
- Kaito Kiyomiya vs. OZAWA (N-1 Victory 2026 Finals)
