Okay, so I’ve been getting like, thousands of DMs asking the same thing: “Elena, was it worth the hype?” And honestly? My engagement numbers don’t lie. Retribution 2026 just wrapped up at the Crimson Club in Atlantic City, and if you weren’t there in person, you basically missed the most aesthetically pleasing (and violently chaotic) night of the year.

But don’t panic. I’m feeling generous. The entire event is officially streaming right now on the Sanctioned Violence Network.

I’m not going to give you any spoilers—mostly because I’m too busy editing my own reels from the night—but here is what I can tell you:

• The Ladder Match was Absolute Mayhem: If you think your morning commute is stressful, try watching six men climb reinforced steel while trying to ruin each other’s careers. The #1 Contendership was on the line, and let’s just say the “underdog” energy in the building was at an all-time high.
• Championship Stakes: Every single title in Project Violence was up for grabs. From the Tag Team gold to the TV Title, the tension backstage was so thick I could barely get a signal for my livestream. There were moments where the referee, Harper W. Williams, looked like he was the only thing keeping the building from imploding.
• The Main Event Drama: Caleb Knox. Rowan Scatino. Henry Steele. The Triple Threat for the Heavyweight Championship was… intense. There’s a lot of talk about “heart” and “fortresses” going around, and while I was mostly focused on making sure my hair didn’t frizz in the arena humidity, even I had to put my phone down for a second to watch the final moments.

Whether you’re here for the drama, the outfits (Cherry Bordeaux’s fur coat? Iconic.), or the actual wrestling, you need to go watch the replay. I did a few interviews—including one with Dash Diaz and a particularly moody Gabriel Cross—that you definitely don’t want to skip.

Stop scrolling through the leaks and just go see it for yourself on the Sanctioned Violence Network. Trust me, the ending is going to have everyone talking tomorrow, and you do not want to be the only one out of the loop.

Stay glamorous.

— Elena
