The Wrestling Voice | The Late Bell | Friday, November 13, 2026
By Dawn Michelle Laguerre | 5:30 p.m. EST edition, America/New_York
Edition date: Friday, November 13, 2026, America/New_York.
TNA supplied the clearest afternoon correction by resolving the start-time conflict around Sunday’s Destination X. The promotion now lists its free Countdown for 5 p.m. Eastern and the main card for 6 p.m. Eastern. Tonight, WWE SmackDown has two confirmed speaking appearances but still no announced matches, while CMLL has a complete six-match Arena México card.
This report updates the Nov. 13 Morning Bell. That edition contains the completed TNA Impact and Ring of Honor results, along with the first Destination X and weekend previews. Those results are not repeated here. Every match below is upcoming unless it is clearly described otherwise.
Confirmed change: TNA resolves Destination X times
TNA’s official Edmonton event listing now gives a consistent Sunday schedule: doors open at 4 p.m. Eastern, the Countdown begins at 5 p.m., and Destination X begins at 6 p.m. The promotion’s Thursday results page matches those times and adds the outlets.
The Countdown will stream free on TNA’s social and digital platforms and on TNA+. The main card will stream on TNA+ and PPV.com. This corrects the conflicting information that was still visible when the Morning Bell was prepared.
The updated official lineup has six matches or match groups:
- Leon Slater vs. Trey Miguel for the TNA World Championship.
- Indi Hartwell vs. Shayna Baszler for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
- The Nemeths vs. syX vs. Moose and Matt Hardy in a three-way match for the TNA World Tag Team Championship.
- Men’s Ultimate X: BDE, Joe Alonzo, John Skyler, KC Navarro, Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann compete for an X-Division title shot.
- Knockouts Ultimate X: Tasha Steelz, M by Elegance, Xia Brookside, Shotzi Blackheart, Gabby Forza and Jada Stone compete for a Knockouts title shot.
- World X-Cup: two three-way qualifiers take place during the Countdown, followed by the final on the main show.
No result is implied. Destination X takes place Sunday at the Edmonton EXPO Centre in Alberta.
Tonight: SmackDown has two segments and no announced match
WWE’s official SmackDown preview still lists only two items for tonight’s show:
- John Cena returns to discuss the John Cena Classic and invite more wrestlers into the Dec. 14 tournament.
- Tiffany Stratton returns as the new WWE Women’s Champion after her Crown Jewel cash-in.
Both are confirmed appearances. Neither is an announced match. WWE had not posted an opponent for Cena or Stratton, or any other match, by the Late Bell deadline. SmackDown begins at 8 p.m. Eastern on USA Network.
Tonight: CMLL has six matches at Arena México
CMLL’s official Viernes Espectacular card lists six matches:
- Místico, Máscara Dorada and Neón vs. Hechicero, Zandokan Jr. and Ángel de Oro.
- Bandido and Brillante Jr. vs. Bárbaro Cavernario and Yutani.
- Volador Jr. vs. Black Tiger.
- Rugido vs. Vegas Depredador.
- Thunder Rosa and Kira vs. Syuri and Ami Sohrei.
- Hombre Bala Jr., Futuro, Max Star and Valiente Jr. vs. Virus, Cancerbero, Inquisidor and Carnífice.
The bell time is 8:30 p.m. in Mexico City, which is 9:30 p.m. Eastern. CMLL’s official viewing guide lists Friday shows live for Legend-level members of its YouTube channel. The promotion notes that the lineup can change at the last minute.
Saturday: AEW Full Gear remains an eight-match main card
AEW’s latest official event rundown still lists eight main-card matches for Full Gear. No additional match or schedule change was posted by the Late Bell deadline.
- Will Ospreay vs. Kyle Fletcher for the AEW World Championship.
- Mercedes Moné vs. Marina Shafir for the AEW Women’s World Championship.
- Death Riders and The Conglomeration vs. The Cut in Anarchy in the Arena.
- The Young Bucks vs. Mark Davis and Jake Doyle for the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
- Hangman Adam Page and Brodido vs. Swerve Strickland and The New Level in a Texas Death Match for the AEW World Trios Championship.
- The Brawling Birds vs. Wrathlander for the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship.
- Kazuchika Okada vs. Adam Copeland for the AEW International Championship.
- Tommaso Ciampa vs. Ilja Dragunov for the AEW National Championship.
Tailgate Brawl also has Queen Aminata defending the TBS Championship against Maya World and Persephone in a three-way match. Full Gear begins Saturday at 8 p.m. Eastern on HBO Max pay-per-view from Phoenix.
Full Gear occupies AEW’s Saturday schedule, so there is no separate weekly Collision card to list. AEW’s next combined Dynamite and Collision event is advertised for Nov. 25 in Omaha, but the promotion has not announced a match card for it.
Monday: CMLL and NJPW set Lucha Kingdom
The official Lucha Kingdom card has nine matches for Monday at Arena México. The main event pairs Místico and Último Guerrero against Yota Tsuji and Hirooki Goto. Hechicero defends the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship against Zack Sabre Jr., while Syuri defends the IWGP Women’s Championship against Kira.
Other announced matches include Bárbaro Cavernario vs. Konosuke Takeshita, Soberano Jr. vs. Shota Umino, and a three-way match for the NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship. The event begins at 5 p.m. in Mexico City, or 6 p.m. Eastern, and is listed for CMLL YouTube’s Legend tier. The full card remains subject to change.
Raw, NXT, ROH and AAA desk
WWE had not added a new official Raw or NXT match during the afternoon window. ROH had not posted a new card update after the Thursday results covered in the Morning Bell. AAA had not published a substantive new tournament field, qualifier pairing or event change that could be verified for this edition.
Those promotions are not padded with recycled material. The next verified announcement can be covered when it is official.
