WINC Watchlist: IYO SKY’s Greatest Matches

Posted by admin on March 27th, 2026

The ace of STARDOM taking on the ace/creator of Sendai Girls, this will be alright won’t it?

By the mid-2010s, Io Shirai had earned herself a reputation for legitimately one of the best wrestlers in the world, and was leading the new wave of Joshi wrestling. The 2000s was a dark period for Joshi as both All Japan Women’s Pro Wrestling and GAEA ceased operations, legends of the previous era started retiring left, right, and center, and wrestling as a whole took a downturn in interest during this time. With companies like STARDOM, Joshi wrestling rose to prominence once again and Shirai was at the forefront of that, but in 2015, the World of STARDOM Championship was around the waist of a true Joshi icon, the original final boss before The Rock came along, Meiko Satomura.

Satomura took the title from Shirai’s close friend Kairi Hojo, and later defended it against another close friend of Shirai’s in Mayu Iwatani. Shirai wanted to bring the title back to STARDOM as Satomura was mainly working in Sendai Girls, a promotion Satomura herself founded and reigned over as world champion. The feud between Satomura and Shirai needed a line drawing under it and the date was set, December 23, 2015, at the legendary Korakuen Hall in Tokyo at STARDOM’s final event of the year, Shirai vs. Satomura.

To say that this match is a classic would be an understatement. It isn’t the easiest to find as STARDOM didn’t have a proper streaming service at the time, but when you do eventually find it, it’s like you’ve won the lottery. Shirai refuses Satomura’s handshake at the start, setting the tone for the entire match, which plays out in an almost teacher vs. student sort of battle. Satomura is ferocious with her strikes, particularly her kicks, and Shirai sells them as if she’s been shot out of a cannon. But Shirai doesn’t stop throughout this whole thing, even when her aerial offense comes back to haunt her, result in some nasty spills.

These two compliment each other perfectly, with Shirai being the “Genius of the Sky” that we know her to be today, flying all over the building at times to keep herself one step ahead of the veteran. However, Satomura beats the life out of Shirai at times, and even ties her up in submissions to the point where you think Shirai might end up passing out. In the end, Shirai’s constant onslaught of moves leads to her channeling her friends in Hojo and Iwatani, before landing her trademark Moonsault for the win. She earns the respect of Satomura, solidifies herself as the queen of STARDOM, and stands tall at the end of one of the best matches of the 21st century.

Backstage Update On WWE’s Chelsea Green After Suffering Ankle Injury In February

Posted by admin on March 27th, 2026

WWE’s Chelsea Green is recovering well from her ankle injury and could be closing in on a return to the ring.

Green broke her ankle during her match with Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend on “WWE SmackDown,” but nearly two months after suffering the injury, she could be back in the ring soon, as per “WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select.” The report has indicated that some backstage believe that she could be cleared for action “sooner rather than later,” although there’s no indication if she will make it back on WWE television before WrestleMania, which is under four weeks away. The “WrestleVotes Radio” report also added that Green was insistent on continuing to appear on-screen despite her injury, which is why she has featured not only on “SmackDown” but also in AAA.

Initial reports had said that the injury was just a strain, but Green herself later confirmed that she had broken her ankle, with her revealing that her inner ankle’s bone had chipped and cracked. In another interview, the former WWE United States Champion was optimistic about making it back to the ring by WrestleMania 42, which will be held on April 18 and 19.

Since her injury, Green has appeared on WWE television, featuring ringside for her The Green Regime Alba Fyre’s match. There was also some disappointment for Green as she is no longer the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champions, as Ethan Page and Green’s substitute, La Hiedra, lost the titles to Mr. Iguana and Lola Vice.

AEW World Champ MJF Set To Wrestle TNA’s Nic Nemeth Following Social Media Call-Out

Posted by admin on March 27th, 2026

After some back-and-forth online, AEW’s MJF and former WWE star Nic Nemeth, FKA Dolph Ziggler, will face each other for the first time in May.

Nemeth, an analyst on “Busted Open,” asked MJF Miz to step up his game after stating that the AEW World Champion phoned it in on his “AEW Dynamite” promo this past week. An angry MJF called Nemeth delusional and jealous, before warning him not to bring up his name on any show. A few hours later, Brian Myers, FKA Curt Hawkins, announced that the two would settle their differences at his promotion, Create A Pro Wrestling, on May 1 in New York.

“I’ve talked to both parties involved and they’ve mutually agreed to settle this. Not many dream matches left out there in professional wrestling. But, this is certainly one of them… @CreateAPro Wrestling is proud to officially announce: May 1st, Melville, New York @The_MJF vs @NicTNemeth Tickets on sale NOW. https://createaprowrestling.com/events/”

The match will take place at the Create A Pro’s Monumental Moment, which is the only match advertised for the event at the time of writing. MJF’s promo on this week’s “Dynamite” had him gloating about successfully defending his title against Adam Page at Revolution and claiming that no one can defeat him. He was interrupted by Kenny Omega, who stepped up as MJF’s next challenger, with their match set to take place at AEW Dynasty on April 12 — a few weeks before MJF vs. Nemeth.

MVP On AEW’s Outrunners: ‘Sometimes Corniness Is Allowed’ In Pro Wrestling

While pro wrestling has long been a haven for larger than life, over the top, colorful superstars, things have begun to swing the other way in recent years. In its place are wrestlers that fans have gravitated towards due to their legitimacy or realness, a call back of sorts to wrestling earliest days when legitimate tough guys ruled the ring, while characters similar to those of the 1980s and 1990s have begun to be viewed as goofy or, as AEW’s MVP would put it, corny.

Speaking about corny wrestling characters on “Marking Out,” MVP stated his belief that, by in large, corny wrestling characters don’t really work in the modern wrestling landscape. But he quickly backtracked from the totality of that stance, pointing out that there are exceptions. And the biggest exceptions, according to MVP, are a duo of two men who claim to be “The Youngest Men Alive,” and once challenged MVP’s Hurt Syndicate stablemates Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin for the AEW World Tag Team Championships.

“I’ll give you a great example of somebody, two guys that go over huge, The Outrunners,” MVP said. “They’re caricatures of 80s wrestlers. You know, ‘Tell ’em Turb!’ Dude, it is so campy, it is so, like, cheesy 80s wrestling. But you love it. They’re so good at it. You know, it’s like ‘Yeah, I like that.’ So I guess, at the end of the day…the authenticity has to come from a place of authenticity, you know? But corniness, for wrestling, sometimes corniness is allowed. You can be corny and you can get over in that corny way, and people will like it and people will allow it. There’s lot of exceptions to that rule.”

Bianca Belair Begins Light Training Ahead of WWE Return

Posted by admin on March 27th, 2026

Bianca Belair may finally be on the road back to the ring. According to a new report from BodySlam+, the former Women’s Champion has begun light training as she works toward an in‑ring return following a lengthy absence. While no official timetable has been confirmed, the report indicates that Belair could be back “sooner rather than later,” offering the most encouraging update since her injury last year.

Belair has not competed since WrestleMania 41, where she faced IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley in a match that resulted in a finger and knuckle injury. The damage proved more complicated than initially expected. Despite attempts at rehabilitation, the injury did not heal properly, ultimately requiring surgery earlier this year. The procedure forced Belair to step away from both in‑ring action and regular televised appearances.

Her only on‑screen moment since then came at Evolution 2025, where she served as the special guest referee for Jade Cargill vs. Naomi. Even then, Belair’s involvement was limited, underscoring how cautious WWE has been with her recovery.

Before the setback, WWE reportedly had major plans for Belair at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas. She was originally expected to challenge Jade Cargill for the Women’s Championship in what would have been one of the event’s marquee matches. With Belair not fully cleared, those plans were scrapped, and WWE pivoted to Cargill vs. Rhea Ripley instead.

Belair beginning light training marks a significant step forward. While she is not yet cleared for full contact, the fact that she has resumed physical preparation suggests that her recovery is progressing. WWE has historically taken a cautious approach with top‑level talent returning from hand and finger injuries, especially when grip strength and impact absorption are involved.

For now, Belair’s exact return date remains unknown. But with training underway and momentum building, it appears the EST of WWE is finally moving closer to her comeback.
