We’ve got a grab bag of matches from across the first four months of 2026 here – all of these are unreleased matches, most of them without commentary, from various We Love Wrestling Live shows, so let’s dive in!
wXw Shotgun Championship: Ahura vs. Dennis Dullnig (c)
We’re going back to January 10 in Rüthen for this one… and this was right at the start of Ahura’s teased retirement run.
Ahura wasn’t best pleased with Dullnig playing out his entire entrance theme, but didn’t seem to mind when both men froze in their corners at the bell. The early gamesmanship broke down when Ahura took Dullnig down with a big boot, before Ahura made inroads with chops and a back elbow.
A cheeky thumb to the eye saw Dullnig turn it around as he waited for the ref to enforce a rope break, before he posted to the crowd… just in time for a local TV crew to come out from the back. Dullnig’s failure to capitalise allowed Ahura right back into the match, with things spilling outside as another front kick from Ahura left Dullnig laying in the crowd.
After beating Ahura on a chase back inside, Dullnig rolled together a suplex and a Falcon arrow to almost do the deal. Again, Ahura got back in it with a flying forearm ahead of a springboard missile dropkick… at least until Dullnig took the ten-minute call to hit back with a powerbomb that almost won him the match.
Dullnig pushed on with a ripcord attempt, but Ahura broke it up before he ate a front kick of his own. Ahura pulled Dullnig into a kiss on the referee… then gave him one of his own before punting Dennis in the Dullnigs. From there, Dullnig needs the ropes to save himself after taking a piledriver, before an eye rake prevented a Salamandra.
Instead, Dullnig’s ripcord Flatliner took Ahura to the outside… before the pace quickened into the final minute with a Boss lariat from Ahura almost winning the match. In the end, time runs out on Ahura as he took too long for a moonsault… allowing Dullnig to roll to the outside and run out the clock. The pacing on this one made it clear they were going to the draw, but this was fine for a tour show. **¾
wXw World Tag Team Championship: Roadkill (Aeron & Conn Kelly) vs. The Grind (Laurance Roman & Nick Schreier) (c)
This one’s from January 16 in Münster, and it’s like the old days with everyone standing around the ring, which could make things tricky for the solo hard cam shots here.
Conn Kelly perhaps was too pleased to celebrate forcing Laurance Roman into the ropes early, which got him some boos, before Roman just decided to punch Kelly in the head. Aeron tagged in but rushed into an armdrag takedown as the Grind looked comfortable, at least until Nick slipped off the top rope while going for a double sledge.
Recovering, Schreier ran Aeron into the buckles for some mounted punches, stopping to swat away Kelly before Kelly interfered from the floor and held Schreier in place for Aeron to return back with a dropkick. Roadkill kept on top of Schreier for a spell, sending him into their corner for some double-teaming behind the ref’s back.
A back suplex/neckbreaker combo almost got Roadkill the unlikeliest of wins, before Schreier finally got a hot tag out to Roman, who cleared house. There’s a nice back body drop for Kelly, who returned with a discus forearm for Roman amid a Parade of Moves… ending with the Grind Time neckbreaker on Aeron for the win. ***
Jane Nero vs. Ava Everett
The time machine dropped us in Papenburg on April 25… along with Aleksander Bellamy doing his best Ken Kennedy impression. Nero declared this wasn’t a title match, which… yeah, for obvious reasons.
Dual hairpulling starts us off, but once those shenanigans were out of the way, Nero was able to charge down Everett… only to trip up over her. Everett’s able to block a cross-chop to the throat and hit one of her own, before a clothesline took down the wanna-be women’s champion.
Bellamy jumps up on the apron to distract Everett, but needed Alex Duke’s help as well as Nero brought Ava out of the corner with a facebuster for a two-count, before a full nelson slam almost ended things. Everett’s able to break free of a chinlock before the pair had the same idea and hit each other with facebusters.
Everett’s first to strike next, landing a dropkick out of the corner for a near-fall, before Nero powdered to the outside after taking a superkick. Everett doesn’t give chase at first, and when she does her attempt at an apron PK’s countered with a leg sweep… only for Ava to almost snatch a win with a cradle.
From the kickout though, Nero’s right back on it, charging Everett into the ropes before a Twist of Fate sealed the win. **¾
Zoltan vs. Ahura
We’re back in Erfurt on March 29 for this, just weeks after Ahura’s Carat win.
Ahura teased an early count-out as he delayed the start, frustrating the young Hungarian in the early going. Zoltan was able to outsmart Ahura with a trip up and a dropkick a couple of minutes in, but Ahura was right back in control seconds later.
Zoltan had to fight out of the corner with a chop… but Ahura’s quickly shutting him down with a chinlock, dragging him down to the mat just as Zoltan looked to be on the way to an escape. Things spilled outside briefly, as Ahura dragged Zoltan around ringside, before he fought back in with a springboard missile dropkick.
Ahura took too long to follow-up and got caught with a flying clothesline from Zoltan, before we descended into back-and-forth kicks between the two. A diving boot from Zoltan has him ahead, at least until Ahura surprised him with a sit-out powerbomb for a near-fall.
Zoltan tried for one of his own moments later, but had to make do with a cutter out of the corner that almost won him the match as Ahura almost paid for his laissez-faire attitude here. A twister superplex out of the corner keeps Zoltan ahead after a struggle, but he misses a Mamba splash… allowing Ahura to crack him with a Boss lariat seconds later for the win. This was almost a throw back to the old Ahura that took Zoltan lightly – but had something deep in his bag to get the win when it mattered. ***½
CSI (Luca de Leone & Nordino) vs. The Grind (Laurance Roman & Nick Schreier)
We’re still in Erfurt here, with the Italians trying their best to get booed against the former tag champs.
Luca made fun of both Roman and Schreier to start, begging off them so they’d tag the other in, but that backfired when the Grind got going, with Roman taking de Leone into the corner for some chops. Nordino didn’t fare too much better, as he found himself having to defend an armbar as the Erfurt crowd willed the limb to pop off.
Schreier’s springboard crossbody keeps him ahead, as did a flying Bionic elbow… which somehow almost ended things. Nordino’s able to escape the neckbreaker/splash combo as he manages to make the tag out to de Leone, who turned things around – while continually riling up Laurance Roman on the apron to such an extent that Roman was fined €20 for his protestations. You know I love that spot.
In the midst of that, we got another of my favourite tag spots, with Nordino “breaking” the arm of Luca de Leone, after Schreier pulled a switcheroo… before Schreier broke up Luca’s dressing down by slapping him in the back. Schreier kept going with the mounted punches, only for Luca to hit a back cracker to bring all that to a halt.
Roman rushes the ring to break up a pin from a suplex… and got himself fined another €30 for his troubles. Man, Felix really earning his “Shooter” nickname here as far as enforcing the rules. CSI run through Nordino, with de Leone’s diving uppercut getting a near-fall… right as we find out someone in Erfurt’s paid Roman’s fine. God bless them.
Right on cue, Schreier cuts off de Leone with a pop-up dropkick before finally bringing Roman in to clear house. A Roman hiptoss on Nordino almost sent him through the ropes, before Roman took the two Italians onto the apron for a double draping DDT. Roman adds a Pedigree to the mix on de Leone, before they isolated Nordino for a version of the Grind Time for the win. ***¼
BK Westbrook vs. Ahura
We’ve gone back to January 16 in Münster, while Thommy’s voice has gone up an octave or two.
We’re back to “Ahura’s threatening to retire at Carat” territory here, while Westbrook’s having a hard time parsing the local lingo. Ahura’s in a playful mood to start, but Westbrook reckons he’s not warmed up yet. Alright. Of course it was a ruse for him to sneak in some cheapshots to get one over on Ahura, but that advantage ended up being short-lived as Ahura went back to slapping him on the head.
Münster is a good venue for acoustics, which Ahura tested out with chops, before Westbrook snuck in a neckbreaker as he dropped Ahura back-first across the ropes. That looked to lead to a count-out, but Westbrook instead followed him to the outside for some fighting in the crowd.
Back inside, Westbrook nails an elbow drop off the top to Ahura’s back, before he slowed the pace down with a neck crank. Ahura broke free, but was quickly back on the deck courtesy of a spinning heel kick from BK, before Ahura went for an eye rake in a bid to get himself back in the match.
It was to no avail, at least for now, as Westbrook piled in with a suplex… before his Quebrada got nothing but Ahura’s knees. From there, Ahura began to build up with chops and kicks, before a flying corkscrew forearm had Westbrook on the ropes. Westbrook got back in with a clothesline after Ahura had ducked a Tiger Feint kick in the ropes, before Westbrook headed to the corner and pulled off the tag rope.
With referee Tassilo Jung fixing the damage, he misses Westbrook using that tag rope to choke Ahura in a sleeperhold… of course, Tas spots it when the tables turn, but he doesn’t DQ Ahura… but again misses a roll-up as Tas prioritised replacing the tag rope. In a singles match. That worked for Ahura though, as he was able to kick out, then wallop Westbrook with a pair of Boss lariats… only for Westbrook to go back to the sleeperhold.
The corner saves the day for Ahura, who then caught a cutter attempt and countered Westbrook with the Salamandra for the win. For what could have just been a throwaway match on a brief tour for Westbrook, this turned into quite the scrap – and a good outing for the live crowd. ***½
Jane Nero & 10/10 Next Level (Alex Duke & Aleksander Bellamy) vs. Ava Everett & CSI (Luca de Leone & Nordino)
We’re off to Paderborn here, on April 26 for the other half of Ava’s weekend in. We’ve got random commentary for this one, albeit in German from the duo of Mett Dimassi and Francesco Dergue.
Yes, Aleksander’s still doing his Mr. Kennedy.
Everett and Nero picked up where they left off in Papenburg the prior day, catching each others kicks for a negotiated settlement… but that doesn’t work out. Nor did Ava’s pin attempt, as Tassilo Jung refused to count on a roll-up after she’d stomped on Nero’s foot.
Tags follow as we go to CSI against Next Level… with Nordino and Bellamy settling in for a spell of eye poking, forcing everyone including the ref to bail as the lads were going for everyone’s eyes… before they just clotheslined each other instead.
Duke and de Leone follow next with some more orthodox stuff… until Luca opted to bust out a People’s Elbow for barely a one-count. Ah well. It worked for someone! Jane Nero’s in to slap Luca, who opted to tag in Ava rather than react accordingly. Nordino joined in with some bodyslams, first to Nero, then on Everett… but Nero rolled away, so it all backfired.
We’re back with Duke chopping Nordino as 10/10 looked to isolate him, with Bellamy standing on Nordino in the ropes for some choking. An elbow drop from Bellamy’s good for a two-count as Nordino again remained on the back foot… at least until he made the tag out to Ava, whose chops to Next Level ended with her landing a Codebreaker on Duke.
Jane Nero interjects as Everett found herself on the defensive… a tag out to Luca de Leone sees a turnaround with a back body drop flinging Bellamy skywards, before Nero return to lay into Luca. Verbally and physically. That again opened it up for Next Level, with Duke’s uranage leaving Nordino laying, before Everett’s swinging headscissors cleared the ring.
Only for Jane Nero’s DDT to reset things once more. Nordino’s got “Jane’s” wXw women’s title belt, leading to a tug of war over it. Nero won out, albeit only because Nordino let go, before she pratfalled over Nordino… who rolled her up and put his feet on the ropes for the win. This was good fun, although the comedy stuff towards the end didn’t quite translate… ***
Roadkill (Aeron & Conn Kelly) VS. Swole Patrol (M4 & Tim Koslowski)
We’re still in Paderborn, so we retain commentary…
M4 towered over Conn Kelly to start, giving the Irishman a tough go of things. Things didn’t improve much when Tim Koslowski came in, as Kelly got pulled down by the hair before he escaped and made the tag to Aeron, whose brief burst ended at the hands of an M4 bodyslam.
Aeron’s kept isolated for a spell, but he managed to catch Koslowski with a jawbreaker before Roadkill took on the Hamburg native with some double-teams. M4 intervenes to stop all that, as Koslowski throws Aeron into Kelly in the corner, leading to another spell of pressure from the musclemen.
M4’s sidewalk slam almost puts Kelly away, but Conn’s able to break free of M4 and bring Aeron in… and I’m pretty sure you can guess what comes next. Aeron fires up against both halves of Swole Patrol, but ends up eating a belly-to-belly from Koslowski before M4 came in to hit a double chokeslam for a near-fall. A mix-up gives Aeron a second wind, leading to a double-team elevated facebuster on Koslowski… and that’s the win. Swole Patrol worked well as bullies here against the smaller Roadkill – but as this hidden gems collection has shown, there’s a few teams in wXw’s undercard that would be served well by picking a side and sticking to it. **½
Elimination: 10/10 Next Level (Alex Duke & Aleksander Bellamy) & Planet Gojirah (Robert Dreissker & Marc Empire) vs. Elijah Blum, Nick Schreier & CSI (Luca de Leone & Nordino)
We wrap up back in Papenburg, and it’s a rare elimination match out of wXw. Mett and Francesco are back with commentary for this one…
Dreissker and Nordino start this one off, and it didn’t go too badly for Nordino, whose wristlock caused issues before Dreissker baited him into taking an elbow drop. He’ll learn. Luca de Leone comes in to kick Dreissker’s knee en route to his People’s Elbow… before Luca ran out and tagged in Elijah Blum so he could deal with a pissed-off Dreissker.
Marc Empire’s in to take a crossbody and a flip neckbreaker from the then-champion Blum, before Nick Schreier added an elbow drop for just a one-count. Schreier’s attempt at a bulldog’s turned into a spin-out side slam as Empire powered his way free, allowing the bad guys to finally create a foothold in the match.
That didn’t last for too long though, as a parade of mounted punches had the good guys in control… except Nordino missed out on getting his in, and by the time he made it back to the ring, Dreissker was ready to give him a kicking. At least until Nordino learned the key presses for the Stunner, taking everyone out with the ol’ kick-wham. Unfortunately, that even included Luca de Leone, as Nordino got too carried away… before the Duke’s Decree slam from Alex Duke led to our first elimination at 9:30.
With the man advantage, the bad guys were buoyant, isolating de Leone for a spell before Luca got the tag out to Schreier, whose Dusty punches and tijeras set up Empire for a Tiger feint kick. A crossbody off the top followed, before an Acid Drop eliminated Empire at 13:30. Props to Mett for calling it the Acid Drop and not the Dudley Dog!
Schreier stays on top with a dive to the outside that took out 10/10 Next Level, before they set up Bellamy for a double sledge… Luca De Leone took way too long on it though and ends up hitting nothing but canvas before a boot-assisted side Russian legsweep took out Luca at 15:37.
A jawbreaker from Schreier earns him a lariat from Dreissker as we continued on, leading to a leaping clothesline from Duke for a near-fall on Schreier… before a schoolboy roll-up eliminated Duke at 19:44. We’re rattling through these eliminations down as we’re down to the final four. Make that final three, as an inside cradle eliminated Bellamy at the 20:00 mark, but 10/10 Next Level hung around to lay out Schreier afterwards.
Robert Dreissker’s the last man left on his team, and of course he’s taking his time with the fallen Schreier. A half crab from Dreissker leads to the bell going, but Schreier didn’t submit… the match continued, only for Schreier to eventually succumb to a full-on Boston crab at 21:51.
We’re left with Dreissker and Blum, but Elijah took the initiative with a springboard moonsault before pushing referee Felix Schulz aside as he piled on onto Dreissker. A ducked clothesline looked to give Dreissker an opening, but an accidental splash wipes out the referee… and opened the door for Dreissker to hit a death valley driver after Blum’d gone to chase Fohrwerk around ringside.
With the ref still down, it’s time for plunder… but Dreissker parades a toolbox around for so long that Nick Schreier’s able to come back out with a Kendo stick and lay out Dreissker with it. 10/10 Next Level come out for the save, as this turned into a Parade of Run Ins, ending with Dreissker missing a Dreissker bomb on Nordino… who’d smuggled a baking tray into the ring in a pizza box, laying out Dreissker ahead of a Sliding D from Blum for the win. ***¼
Eh screw it, there’s room for one more match – we’re going back to Rüthen for a match that wXw dropped on their free feed…
Peter Tihanyi & 10/10 Next Level (Aleksander Bellamy & Alex Duke) vs. Norman Harras & Planet Gojirah (Robert Dreissker & Marc Empire)
It’s not THAT long ago in the scheme of things that Dreissker and Harras were battering each other around the old academy… and check out the pop for Norman in his home town!
We started off with Dreissker and the then-Unified World Wrestling champion Peter Tihanyi, with the latter quickly getting knocked down for a splash as the Rüthen crowd were eating this main event up… and we’re barely 90 seconds in. A blind tag snuck in Bellamy for a rolling neckbreaker on Dreissker, only for a turnaround to see Gojira go all Bushwhackers on us with a battering ram.
It’s not too long before the tags cycled us into a Big Bucks reunion, with the crowd roaring for the arrival of Norman Harras, whose spear blasted through Duke for a quick near-fall. Duke’s able to duck a chop and make his way back in, only for Bellamy to undo it all as he ran into a slam and an elbow drop from Harras.
Dreissker tags in but is quickly taking a kicking from Next Level, which allowed Peter Tihanyi to pick at the proverbial bones, taking Dreissker to the corner for some triple-teaming that wound up Harras, whose swipe at Bellamy missed as Dreissker continued to get triple-teamed en route to a tornado DDT from Tihanyi for a near-fall.
Dreissker powered out of a side headlock before tags brought us back to Duke and Harras. Norman gives us a meeting of the minds between 10/10, before a flapjack laid out Duke… only for Peter Tihanyi to drag Harras onto the apron and throw his knee into the side of the ring.
Harras shrugs it off and returned to chokeslam Duke for a near-fall, but something’s clearly up with that knee – which was already sporting a knee brace – as Harras tagged himself out before he was carried to the back. That left Planet Gojirah on their own… and while they had 10/10 under wraps, the addition of Peter Tihanyi was too much for them to overcome. As was the duelling low blow from 10/10 as Tihanyi had the ref distracted, as a follow-up slingshot cutter from Tihanyi put Dreissker away. ***
We’re not done yet… after the match, Aleksander Bellamy celebrated destroying Norman Harras, while Duke took pleasure in putting Norman in the hospital. Tihanyi joined in, and you can see where this is going, right? After Tihanyi chewed out Rainer Ringer and gave him a superkick, Norman Harras appeared on the stage with a chair in hand… laying out the bad guys, and I guess this match will continue?
Street Fight: Peter Tihanyi & 10/10 Next Level (Aleksander Bellamy & Alex Duke) vs. Norman Harras & Planet Gojirah (Robert Dreissker & Marc Empire)
We’re running this back as a street fight, but Norman’s very clearly favouring that leg as he rolled to the outside to take part in some crowd brawling.
The single hard cam tries its best to capture it all, as Harras cleared the way with chairshots, while the Rüthen crowd chanted for tables. Well, this bit’s meant to send the crowd home happy, but Tihanyi reverses things and chucks Dreissker into a chair in the corner, before Gojirah and Harras found themselves laid out with chairshots.
Of course, the bad guys celebrate for too long and got low blowed for their troubles, before Dreissker pulled out a table from under the ring. From there, Bellamy’s hoisted up for a Cerberus bomb, before Harras scored the pin to send his hometown crowd home happy. Right, I’m off to figure out what music he used here, as we close out our trip to bizarro world with Norman getting cheered into the night.
