Ladies Night Out #16: Sin City Showdown (4.16.26) review 

 

April 16, 2026 

 

WRESTLEMANIA WEEK REVIEW #9 

 

We’re in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Luxor Hotel and (of course) casino. I wanted to watch something from a different venue. So, get fucked Gringo Loco. I could be watching your show and I’m just not.  

This show has 17 matches on it and is the longest show of the entire weekend so far. Are you mad, bro? Why would you do that? The MIB isn’t watching anymore.  

 

Vipress vs. Lacey Lane 

I like Lacey. Vipress is also a professional wrestler. The crowd looks, and sounds, tired. Lacey finishes with a Pedigree variant through the ropes. This was fine. ** 

 

Madisyn Maxxwell vs. Mazzerati vs. Tiffany Nieves vs. Brittnie Brooks vs. Carolina Cruz 

If you’re wondering why the show is so fucking long, it’s because they’ve hired everyone. I’ve never heard of Tiffany Nieves because I don’t watch promotions like OVW. Maxxwell has an influencer gimmick and only needs one more X in her name to switch it up to Only Fans porn star gimmick. I like Mazzerati but she’s terrible, bless her.  

 

This match resembles the outside of the Wetherspoons in Manchester on a Saturday night. You know the one. 1am and someone has found out their boyfriend has been cheating on her with some skank and all of a sudden passers by are catching strays. This is like the fourth Brittnie Brooks match I’ve seen already this weekend. This gets progressively worse until a five-way double-down. Maxxxwell picks up the win. Oh boy, does no one give a fuck. Me included. ½* 

 

Lexa Valo vs. Lili Ruiz  

I saw Valo once, five years ago, and called the match “overly ambitious” in an attempt to be polite. It was shite but I was trying to be nice. Ruiz struggles with a few of the fundamentals of wrestling. Rolling forward out of an arm ringer = bad. Dropkick = bad. Duck downs = bad. Valo wins with a submission, which looks like the Dragon Clutch. This wasn’t very good. * 

 

Battle Royal 

Jesus, how many fucking women did they sign for this show? I only know one person in this; Jazmine Hao. This is a Wrestlemania weekend DEEP CUT (/Tom Green). One of these women is called La Spooky.  

JEM performs a nipple attack. I start scanning the crowd for phones and wouldn’t you know it. So many American Martin Bentley’s. I guess it’s a bigger country. It’s to be expected that the number of perverts increases. Perverts per capita might favour the UK if BritWres is anything to go by. This fucking enormous woman (Christyan XO) joins the match late and she’s 6’3”. Holy shit. If she’s any good the fed are having her. Christyan XO boots La Spooky off the apron to win and she’s announced being in ROH. Fair play Big Tone, he knows a woman when he sees one.  

 

Alexis Littlefoot vs. Monica Monroe 

Alexis does one of those ‘back kicks to the stomach’ moves and kicks Monroe in the knee. I mean, same effect…I guess? Lots of bad standing switches in this. Monroe wins with a Lionsault, which lands legs on legs and looks needlessly painful. This was not good. * 

 

PODER~! Championship 

Brittany Blake (c) vs. Jazzy Yang vs. Kristin Blaze vs. Jai Perez 

Good luck to Kristin Blaze, who’s quite good and has amazing abs (scans the room for MIB). I’ve never seen Jai Perez. Kristin is so good, she makes Brittany Blake look ok in exchanges. Whenever Kristin isn’t involved, this is pure shit. Blaze is definitely getting signed at some point. * 

 

Joseline Navarro & Vanity vs. Myka Madrid & Selene Hysteria 

You can hear whoever is running Gorilla yell “GO MYKA…GO, GO, GO, GO”. Meanwhile, one of the commentators just gets up and fucks off. Where are you going? You can’t just leave! You don’t see me leaving, do you? You think I want to watch 11 more matches here? This match starts and the crowd DO NOT GIVE A SINGLE SHIT. You can hear the women talking to each other in the ring. Comms is broken so the woman who left must have knocked a cable out.  

 

The crowd wakes up with the CUNT PUNT. You can now hear someone moving cables around trying to find out why there’s no comms, and they lose all sound. Marvellous. Navarro wins with a Tombstone. Nothing doing here. ½* 

 

Sofia Sivan vs. Fallyn Grey vs. Rachel Ley vs. Corinne Joy 

Sivan’s “your favourite gamer girl” gimmick is truly god awful and only exists to appeal to the lowest common denominator out here; the perverts. Corinne Joy looks like she’s practicising her entrance for EVOLVE. Rachel Ley is one of the best prospects I’ve seen this weekend, but I worry she’ll get lost in this sea of mediocrity.  

Then there’s this. Yeah, it looks cool, but she’s a WWE piglet. That Maxx girl from earlier joins comms and says she liked Corinne’s entrance. Would look good on EVOLVE huh? She’s not a natural commentator. So yeah, the match? Dreadful. It doesn’t make sense. Everyone just gets their shit in. The audio is still broken, and the camera work has gotten erratic during this. Fallyn starts doing X-Pac spots, including the crotch chops. Has she been learning under the Sean Waltman tree in the PC? She gets a pin on Ley.  

 

Rachel Ley is really good. That’s all I have to say about this match really. * 

 

THERE ARE STILL NINE MATCHES ON THIS FUCKING SHOW. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You could start the show here and still have an entire show.  

 

J-Rod vs. Notorious Mimi 

As J-Rod enters I can’t help but remember Fonzie saying she had a nice ass on commentary last night. Veda Scott joins comms and I’m actually happy as that probably improves things.  

This one is for you, Fonzie. J-Rod does some power stuff, including doing push-ups on a cover. Mimi is equally dickish so I’m not really sure who to cheer for here. Mimi’s gear looks like Princess Leia’s slave girl attire. Is that intentional, do you think? Mimi does too much thigh slapping for my tastes, but this is a decent match. “Her muscles are great” says Madisyn. Just say she has a nice ass, Fonzie has already let that cat out of the bag. It’s ok. J-Rod, who has a temper, hits a huge German suplex and spears Mimi into the sex pin for the win. Holy shit. Another good showing from J-Rod. **½. MOTN?  

 

Frankie B & Kingsley vs. Shazza McKenzie & Laynie Luck 

Luck is the WWE ID Champion. Is that not the EVOLVE title? Or are there two belts? Shazza (or SHARZA as Veda calls her) gets picked off for criminal-on-criminal violence. You know they are all tough; their ancestors survived in manacles on those ships. The match is fine. It’s better when Shazza is leading everyone around. Otherwise, the structure is a bit off. Luck with the diving cutter for the duke. *¾  

 

Sirena Veil vs. Lady Leigh vs. Angelica Risk 

I really liked Sirena Veil on another show. I forget which (Podermania – ed). Veda gets something wrong and Madisyn corrects her. She’s growing on me, ladies and gents. They let Veil do a bunch of stuff because she’s by far the best worker in the match. Whenever Veil isn’t involved it goes completely to shit. Leigh makes Veil tap to her stupid submission hold. *½. I’m doubling down on really liking Sirena Veil. I legitimately want to see more from her. 

 

Ruthie Jay vs. Jada Stone 

I liked Ruthie Jay on Poder, and she looks ok here too. Jada takes a decent ass kicking but there’s no doubting who the star is here. There’s a guy chanting “this is awesome” during this. Jada hits a moonsault to the floor and wins with a double backflip into a Stunner. The double backflip seems a little excessive. This was good. **½ 

 

Lindsay Snow, Mickie Knuckles, Su Yung & Tara Zep vs. Freya the Slaya, Gypsy Mac, Haley J & Sammi Chaos 

Jesus Christ, how many fucking wrestlers? I can’t believe they brought back the Pussy World Order.  

For those who didn’t watch WEW (aka Womens Extreme Wrestling) that was the group of porn stars who worked in that promotion. This match has a lot of moving parts, and they don’t move in the right direction. It’s just a fucking mess, lads. Mickie beats Freya with a back suplex. DUD 

 

Airica Demia vs. Steph De Lander 

De Lander has just come back after over a year off and looked rusty when I saw her in other matches. Demia is one of those WWE ID people. The crowd is clearly burned out at this point. De Lander looks much better here, as she can lead the match and control the pace. The trouble with ring rust is it effects timing, and you need more timing the more people and moving parts there are. Here, in a straight up match, it’s a lot easier for her. There are still issues but far less of them. De Lander is far worse on bumping and selling than when she’s leading. Demia’s spot work isn’t well thought out. I guess if you’re an anime geek, it’s good? De Lander beats her. Good! Go back to crunchyroll, you fucking nerd. *½ 

 

Nixon Newell & Miranda Alize vs. Ray Lyn & Alejandra Quintanilla  

Nice to see Nixon still getting work. I always liked her. Is her wizard still shiny? Ray Lyn was on commentary earlier. That’s why she fucked off. I saw Alejandra wrestle under the name La Leona on another show. I saw Alize on Poder against Cruz, who is a rookie. Ray Lyn breaks out a stinkface (checks the crowd for MIB). The match is a mess. Lyn & Alejandra’s timing is off. Alize charges into the ring at one point and she’s supposed to eat a double drop toehold and it’s not good. Lyn is miles off.  

Everyone takes a nap. That’s not fair. If I have to stay awake, so do you. Shiniest Wizard puts Lyn away. **. This was alright. Nixon is obviously too good for this kind of thing. 

 

Ladies Night Out Championship 

Jazmin Allure (c) vs. Izzy Moreno vs. La Rosa Negra 

All you guys filming Izzy here. I see you. Your hard drives are evidence. Referee here is Jazz. She’s not a natural referee. Doesn’t have the instincts or positional sense. Rosa is great. I get the feeling her shot at the big leagues has probably gone but fuck, if I was her, I’d be happy with my skill level. As the match continues, Izzy’s presence seems to be to take an ass kicking.  

 

Jazmin has good instincts. She knows when to move and when to stick. She’s in position way more than most women on average on this show.  

Meanhile Rosa Negra might be the best wrestler on this entire show. The only thing that doesnt work in this match is Jazz, who’s out of position and can’t do the refereeing job. She refuses to count for Izzy, and Allure beats Moreno. Not sure what the booking was about here. A mess. Which is a shame because we had 2.5 great performances. **½.  

 

Thunder Rosa vs. Vert Vixen 

This match is perfectly fine. I’m sure I’m not the only person who is happy we’re now at the main event. Madisyn thanks us for sticking to the end of the show. We all just want to sleep. Please go home. The match starts getting tired too. Every kick out isn’t met with gasps or anything. Just silence. Vert ends up tapping out and the pop for it is one of those “YES, WE CAN GO TO SLEEP NOW” pops. YAAAY! *¾ 

 

The 411: 

What fucking crazy person put 17 matches on a card? Why would you do that? Thunder Rosa tells us to support women’s wrestling. Hey, I stayed to the end brrrrrother (sisssstter). The show would have been decent if they’d trimmed the run time, cut half the matches and left the good stuff in there. If you started the show with Rachel Ley and clipped off that eight woman tag, this would be have been a fine show. As it is, it’s still better than Podermania.
