This weekend’s selection of events includes big shows from WWE and TNA, a second night from AEW in Paris, plus notable cards all around Japan and America. Here’s a look at eight wrestling shows taking place this weekend, plus when and where to watch each one.
Friday
WWE Friday Night Smackdown / 8 p.m. ET / USA Network
Smackdown’s final broadcast before Money in the Bank will air tonight from the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana. While we don’t know all the details about what will go down tonight, they’re promoting that all 12 competitors in this year’s MITB matches will be in the building. What mayhem could happen just one night before the ladder bouts?
Along with that vague tease, it was previously announced that WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid will put their titles on the line against Charlotte Flair and new ally Tatum Paxley. If successful, Paxley will begin her first-ever main roster title reign.
- Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid vs. Charlotte Flair & Tatum Paxley (WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships)
- All Money in the Bank ladder match competitors under the same roof
House of Glory Salvation / 8 p.m. ET / Youtube
After trips to Los Angeles and Chicago, House of Glory will return to its home base in New York City tonight for Salvation. Tonight’s card is an eclectic mix of prominent names: AEW’s Tommaso Ciampa and Lio Rush, WWE ID standout Marcus Mathers, Xelina and Tommy End, and many others will be in action.
I think it’s worth shouting out tag duo The Mane Event, who are on this (and most) House of Glory lineups. The duo of Jay Lyon and Midas Black are tons of fun every time they’ve appeared on these shows. If you haven’t seen them, check them out tonight when Salvation airs on Youtube for free.
- Tommaso Ciampa vs. Charles Mason
- Xelina & Tommy End vs. Lio Rush & Shotzi
- Jay Lyon & Midas Black vs. Jodi Aura & Raheem Royal
- Amazing Red vs. Marcus Mathers (HOG Crown Jewel Championship)
MARIGOLD Battle Heart / 10 p.m. ET / Wrestle Universe
Fresh off winning this year’s Dream Star Grand Prix, fast-rising MARIGOLD talent Victoria Yuzuki will headline a Korakuen Hall show this evening from Tokyo. The 21-year-old, who looks to be the future of the Rossy Ogawa promotion, will defend her United National Championship in the main event of this evening’s card against Poland’s Diana Strong.
- Nagisa Tachibana vs. The Lady AI vs. Mila Smidt
- SYOKO Koshino & Hummingbird vs. Misa Matsui & Rea Seto
- Kouki Amarei, Chika Goto & Shinno vs. Mai Sakurai, Natsumi Showzuki & Erina Yamanaka
- Megaton vs. Momoka Hanazono
- Miku Aono & Yuuka Yamazaki vs. Mayu Iwatani & Komomo Minami
- Victoria Yuzuki vs. Diana Strong (MARIGOLD United National Championship)
Saturday
Sendai Girls Women’s Pro-Wrestling Big Show / 1:30 a.m. ET / Wrestle Universe
If you want to watch some underrated Joshi this weekend, consider checking out Saturday morning’s Sendai Girls event. The show is headlined by current Jr. champ Spike Nishimura challenging for the promotion’s world title for the first time, taking on the highly successful Chihiro Hasimoto. I think Nishimura is a fun prospect in the scene and I’m curious to see how she could do in a big spot like this.
The undercard features appearances from Sareee, Aja Kong, Pro Wrestling EVE vets Safire Reed and Anita Vaughan, plus former WWE talent Lady Leigh.
- Sareee vs. Reina Takano
- SenjyoDaikaannon, SAIRA & Sayaka Unagi vs. Kuroshio TOKYO Japan, Yura Suzuki & Shin Hirota Katsushika Sakura
- Mio Momono vs. Yurika Oka
- Aja Kong, VENY & Lady Leigh vs. ZONES, Safire Reed & Anita Vaughan
- Hiroyo Matsumoto & Ryo Mizunami vs. Manami & YUNA
- Saori Anou & Natsupoi vs. Mika Iwata & Miyuki Takase
- Chihiro Hashimoto vs. Spike Nishimura (Sendai Girls World Championship)
WWE Money in the Bank / 6 p.m. ET / ESPN Unlimited
The time has finally arrived for this year’s WWE Money in the Bank Premium Live Event (PLE). While MITB typically isn’t a Fall show for WWE, a pair of delays caused this event to escape its usual summer timeframe and spill into October this year. But after lots of waiting, the highly anticipated show will finally arrive in New Orleans tomorrow night.
The main attraction of the night will, of course, be the ladder matches. I think both the men’s and women’s lineups this year are quite strong, with many contenders for potentially winning the match. Outside of the ladder bouts, the other matchups on this card are strictly Monday Night Raw-focused: LA Knight gets his long-awaited shot at Roman Reigns, the triangular rivalry between Stephanie Vaquer, Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan comes to a head in a title showdown, and the recently-returned Bronson Reed tries his luck against Oba Femi.
- Bronson Reed vs. Oba Femi
- Jacy Jayne vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Lash Legend vs. Sol Ruca vs. Lola Vice (Women’s Money in the Bank Match)
- CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens vs. Penta vs. Bron Breakker vs. Trick Williams vs. Je’Von Evans (Men’s Money in the Bank Match)
- Stephanie Vaquer vs. Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan (WWE Women’s World Championship)
- Roman Reigns vs. LA Knight (WWE World Heavyweight Championship)
AEW Collision: Grand Slam France / 8 p.m. ET / TNT
After presenting an electric two-hour show from Paris on Tuesday night, AEW will return tomorrow for a second part. Saturday evening’s special Grand Slam: France edition of Collision is full of headline-making matches, as well as other fun encounters.
The next challenger for the Brawling Birds will be determined when the Sisters of Sin, Divine Dominion, and Wrathlander face off in a three-way. Entrant number three in the WrestleDream Clockwork Carnage match will be found when Speedball Bailey faces Lee Moriarty. Plus, the Young Bucks will defend in the main event against The Dogs.
I’m personally most looking forward to Andrade El Idolo putting his AEW National Championship on the line against Britwres legend Michael Oku. Every time AEW gives Oku a spot on their programming, he’s loads of fun. Looking forward to seeing what he can do with Andrade, who has been on fire this entire year.
- Swerve Strickland vs. Carlie Bravo
- Julia Hart & Skye Blue vs. Kris Statlander & Harley Cameron vs. Lena Kross & Megan Bayne (AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships #1 Contenders Match)
- Lee Moriarty vs. Speedball Bailey (Clockwork Carnage Qualifying Match)
- Jericho vs. Nick Wayne
- Andrade El Idolo vs. Michael Oku (AEW National Championship)
- Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, Orange Cassidy & Willow Nightingale vs. Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta & Marina Shafir
- Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson vs. Clark Connors & David Finlay (AEW World Tag Team Championships)
Sunday
STARDOM in Korakuen / 12:30 a.m. ET / STARDOM World
It’s sad to admit, but it’s true: We’re closing in on Natsupoi’s retirement date. The STARDOM vet has just a few months left before she steps away from professional wrestling for good in early January. But before then, she still has lots planned. Among the goodbye tour dates is a main event spot on Sunday’s Korakuen Hall STARDOM card, where she will look to end Yuna Mizumori’s near 300-day run as High Speed Champion and regain the title for the first time since 2021.
- Aya Sakura & Anne Kanaya vs. Kikyo Furusawa & Rian
- Utami Hayashishita, Waka Tsukiyama & Matoi Hamabe vs. Konami, Ruaka & Rina
- Ranna Yagami & Kiyoka Kotatsu vs. Rina Yamashita & Itsuki Aoki vs. Saya Kamitani & Azusa Inaba
- Saori Anou vs. Maki Itoh vs. Tora Natsuko
- Hanan, Saya Iida & HANAKO vs. Syuri, Hina & Lady C
- Starlight Kid, AZM, Miyu Amasaki, Mei Seira & Emma Maishima vs. Suzu Suzuki, Akira Kurogane, Hazuki, Koguma & Fuwa-chan
- Yuna Mizumori vs. Natsupoi (STARDOM High Speed Championship)
TNA Bound for Glory / 4:30 p.m. ET / PPV
The weekend will end with TNA Wrestling’s biggest event of the year, Bound for Glory, taking place live from the Yeungling Center in Tampa, Florida. This year’s show has far less public interest than last year. With an expected 4,000 fewer attendees than in 2025 and much less online chatter, this Sunday’s show feels quite cold, honestly.
The main event of the night sees Leon Slater attempt to parlay his X-Division success into a run with TNA’s world title, challenging Nic Nemeth. Slater has been one of the company’s best names over the past couple of years and thus, it feels deserved that he gets the challenger spotlight on this show’s main event
Earlier matchups include Indi Hartwell getting her long-awaited world title shot against Xia Brookside, a six-way match to determine the new X-Division champ, plus the annual Call Your Shot Gauntlet, a rumble-style match where the winner gets a future world title opportunity at any point, similar to a Money in the Bank briefcase.
It’s worth noting that, before the early 4:30 p.m. ET main card start, TNA’s Hall of Fame ceremony will go down 30 minutes prior. Konnan, ODB and Amazing Red will be inducted!
- Eddie Edwards vs. Ricky Sosa
- 2026 Call Your Shot Gauntlet
- Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy vs. Joseph Sawyer & Samuel Shaw (Falls Count Anywhere Tag Team Match)
- Allie & Kiera Hogan vs. Zoey Serrano & Shayna Baszler (TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championships)
- Mustafa Ali vs. Special Agent 0 vs. John Skyler vs. Jason Hotch (TNA International Championship)
- Rich Swann vs. Ryan Nemeth vs. Cedric Alexander vs. Fabian Aichner vs. KC Navarro vs. BDE (Vacant TNA X-Division Championship)
- Xia Brookside vs. Indi Hartwell (TNA Knockouts World Championship)
- Nic Nemeth vs. Leon Slater (TNA World Heavyweight Championship)
