Wrestling REVOLVER kicked off 2026 with Kross Hour, live on TrillerTV, emanating from the Calumet Center at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds in their hometown of Dayton, Ohio.
Joe Dombrowski was back on commentary with Bork Torkelson on color, which works so much better. Jessica Havok sat in through most of the show and she was very good. Wrestling could use more women commentators.
One of the best and most brash young heels in wrestling, Joe Alonzo, greeted the Dayton crowd with some trash talk, calling out rookie BDE, who he’s had issues with recently.
Instead, he’s answered by the monster Crash (no longer Crash Jaxon). They had a solid match. Alonzo got the win after BDE tried to help him but accidentally cracked him with a steel chair. Crash was noticeably frustrated after, still on a tough losing streak.
Ryan Matthias needed a partner for the four-way number one contender tag match, as his regular partner in Tye or Die, KJ Reynolds, is out with an injury. He picked the young monster Amazonga. Great pick because they won, beating veterans Rich Swann and Jake Crist, a pair of former WR Tag Champs Latinos Most Wanted (Sabin Gauge, Koda Hernandez), and two-time former champions Alpha Sigma Sigma (KC Jacobs, “Big” Dick Meyers with Brent Oakley).
Jordan Oliver defeated Damien Chambers (with Kayla Cassidy). Solid match.
YouTuber-turned-promising rookie BDE regained the WR Remix Title from his former friend and mentor, one of the first YouTuber-turned-wrestlers, Chris Danger, in a Danger, Ladder, and Chairs match. What you would expect: a lot of plunder and big spots. Gutsy performance from both guys, neither exactly hardened veterans. After the match, Danger gives an unnecessary rah-rah “I was testing you” kind of speech when he needed to be selling the beating in that match. Joe Alonzo attacks BDE from behind but is run off by Alpha Sig, close friends of BDE (an unofficial member). BAM! Oakley smashes Jacobs and Meyers with a steel chair and then BDE, who he often shoots YouTube content with outside of wrestling, including BDE’s TNA appearances. Crash runs both guys off and then he levels BDE with a pop-up powerbomb! Alonzo, Oakley, and Jaxon triple-team BDE, with Crash crushing him with a top-rope splash.
They do a hot backstage promo and name themselves The Algorithm, REVOLVER’s newest heel faction. Great hot angle.
Trey Miguel, who would be the winner if there was a Comeback of the Month award, won the 24/7 Scramble Title, beating Bigg Pound (c), Gringo Loco, Dante Leon, Juni Underwood, and Jeffrey Johns in a six-way scramble match. Miguel pinned Underwood and then narrowly escaped Pound’s attempted roll-up.
Krule bounced back from losing his Major League Wrestling World Title the week prior, winning the WR Championship, ending the reign of “The Young GOAT” Myron Reed (with Killer Kelly), the longest reign in WR history. This was turned into a three-way when Alan Angels, Krule’s former partner in The Macabre, cashed in his Golden Ticket title opportunity and joined the match in progress. That officially makes Angels an idiot. Very busy and active match that even saw Kelly get involved often to help Reed. Krule took out Reed and Kelly with chokeslams, got one-on-one with Angels, and put him down with his Full Nelson faceplant finish for the win.
In the main event, new Major League Wrestling World Champion Killer Kross faced one of the newest members of The System (TNA’s top heel faction), Bear Bronson. The ring announcer called him a “defending” champion, but it wasn’t clear if this was a title match or not. This was good. A lot of strong brawling in the ring and through the crowd.
Another impressive showing for Bronson. They trade putting each other through doors at the end before Kross catches him in a choke for the win. Didn’t love that the door spots had zero effect on the finish, but it’s REVOLVER.
Kross ends the show, putting over Bronson as a possible future world champion even if he doesn’t agree with his actions in The System, and then puts over REVOLVER and owner Sami Callihan for giving him work when very few would. Nice moment, but one that should have been saved for the live audience in the building.
A fun show that went by quickly. Normal WR excess, but not so much as to drag the show.
Great angle to start a new group, because REVOLVER loves them some heel factions.
