Let’s dive into the highlights and key moments from the world of professional wrestling during the past week.
AEW’s Forbidden Door: Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay
One of the standout matches from AEW’s Forbidden Door event was the intense face-off between Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay. These two wrestling veterans demonstrated their unparalleled skills in the ring, constantly battling for momentum. Highlights included Ospreay’s daredevil dive to the outside of the ring and Omega’s impactful DDT on the steel steps. In the end, Ospreay emerged victorious, claiming the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship.
WWE Friday Night Smackdown: Solo Sikoa vs. Sheamus
A thrilling match between Solo Sikoa and Sheamus took place during WWE Friday Night Smackdown. Sheamus, defending his friend Ridge Holland’s honor, challenged Sikoa to a hard-hitting match. While Sheamus initially dominated, Sikoa unleashed a vicious assault, culminating in a destructive collision with the barricade. The match ended in a no contest due to the damage caused.
WWE NXT: Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker
The return of Seth “Freakin” Rollins to WWE NXT brought intense anticipation as he faced the formidable Bron Breakker for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Despite nursing injured ribs, Rollins showcased his resilience and impressive aerial skills. A frog splash onto Breakker from outside the ring led to a shocking table break. However, Breakker fought back, trapping Rollins in a tight submission hold. Ultimately, Rollins secured the victory with his signature move, the stomp.
Impact Wrestling: Joe Hendry vs. Yuya Uemura
A standout match from Impact Wrestling featured Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura. Hendry’s athletic prowess was on full display, executing powerful moves and demonstrating technical skill. Uemura showcased impressive speed and agility, keeping pace with Hendry. However, a high-risk maneuver backfired for Uemura, allowing Hendry to deliver his signature finishing move, the Hendry Slam, securing the victory. While a loss for Uemura, it was a memorable opportunity in Impact Wrestling.
A Great Week for Professional Wrestling
Overall, the past week offered an abundance of excitement and exceptional performances in the realm of professional wrestling. AEW’s Forbidden Door event set a high standard, but WWE is gearing up for its upcoming pay-per-view event, Money In the Bank, scheduled for July 1.
