00:58What's going on, everyone?
01:02Welcome on in to a special edition of WWE Main Event.
01:06And in fact, this is the best of Main Event.
01:09I'm your host, Megan Morant, and I'll be hanging out with you over the next two weeks
01:13as we look back at some of the standout matches, unforgettable moments,
01:17and everything in between that made 2025 such a wild ride here on Main Event.
01:22Now I know you're wondering which matches made the list.
01:25It's a fair question.
01:26So why waste any time?
01:28Let's kick things off in grand fashion.
01:30We start over 10,000 miles away in the land down under, Perth, Australia,
01:35where the brash, unapologetic, and always outspoken Aussie icon Grayson Waller
01:41stepped into the ring with one of the most dynamic luchadors on the planet, Ray Phoenix.
01:46And as you might expect, Waller was more than happy to show off in front of the hometown crowd.
02:14The following podcast is scheduled for one call.
02:31Well, we're looking at an icon in his own right from south of the border here, getting the action started as Ray Phoenix looks to seize the moment and spoil the party this week here on Main Event.
02:56So we welcome you in, Blake Howard, alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph. Vic, right in the middle of spooky season, I know you're gearing up for Halloween.
03:03It will certainly be the spookiest night of the year in Arizona, but right now, we're talking about a man who wants to spoil the party in Ray Phoenix.
03:12How about Ray Phoenix and his party? He wants to come out here, he wants to showcase to the world his true athleticism by beating a, I don't want to call him a hometown hero, I don't want to give him too much credit, but this could be a huge moment for someone like Ray Phoenix.
03:25You see the balance and speed right there, the athleticism on full display as Ray Phoenix looking to set it off here tonight.
03:32And here's the player from Sydney, Australia!
03:57Australia!
03:59Wing in!
04:01That's to the 100A World Cup!
04:03Looks like Bret Hart in Canada in the summer of 97 here, Vic.
04:06The one place, the Aussie icon is beloved like no other,
04:09right here in Australia.
04:11What a career highlight this is.
04:13It certainly is, like, taking nothing away,
04:15but I don't necessarily know
04:17how Grayson Waller is going to internally react.
04:21I think from the get, yeah, he's excited, he's home.
04:24He's fired up!
04:25He's got family, he's got friends here,
04:27but he's not used to people liking him,
04:29not used to people cheering for him.
04:31His own mother doesn't like him, I have that on record.
04:33And look, the biggest issue of this guy
04:37is a half-inch below his nose.
04:39But I'm really interested to see
04:41how he combats everything
04:43because we've never seen Grayson Waller like this.
04:45We've never seen Grayson Waller
04:47with this sort of look in his eyes.
04:49I mean, look, even the opposition giving him his credit.
04:51How will he adapt?
04:53His own emotions in check
04:55because right now he's playing
04:57with a home court advantage.
04:59Certainly a very motivating environment it is
05:01for both superstars here.
05:02But Vic, once again,
05:03back to Grayson Waller inside the ring.
05:05How special of a moment is this for him?
05:07I mean, that look says it all.
05:15I mean, telling Phoenix to let's go
05:17because he's soaking it in, he's looking around,
05:19he's hearing from a very vocal,
05:21a very lively WWE Universe.
05:23And look, those...
05:25He's feeling it.
05:27He didn't leave his dribbling skills over in the States.
05:29But Perth's been amazing.
05:31You go back all the way to SmackDown.
05:33You go to Crown Jewel.
05:34You go to Monday Night Raw.
05:35Perth has shown up and shown out here this weekend.
05:39Indeed, been in a couple of amazing days here in Perth.
05:42And Vic, you talk about Friday night SmackDown a couple of weeks back.
05:45Phoenix return to tag team action.
05:47Got a bit bouncy on Friday nights.
05:49He certainly did.
05:50What a tag team matchup that was.
05:51I mean, what a tag team partner Javon Evans is.
05:53But talking about getting bouncy, looking to get up and get Ariel with Waller,
05:57who was able to take down Phoenix for a moment.
05:59Trying to stay one step ahead of Ray Phoenix right here.
06:01Of course, we know the speed that Ray Phoenix likes to compete at.
06:04As Phoenix now going to run those ropes.
06:07That death-defying offense right here on full display.
06:10That balance you were talking about earlier, you were highlighting.
06:13And right now for Ray Phoenix, it's hard not to like the guy, right?
06:16Even in the hometown, the home country,
06:18who's really going to be on the bad side of Ray Phoenix?
06:21Everyone loves this guy.
06:22Certainly Ray Phoenix looking to set it off here.
06:25But Grayson Waller with a counter.
06:27Excuse me.
06:28Snaps off.
06:29A hurricane run of his own goes into the covers.
06:31These two exchanging some pinfalls right here.
06:33Back and forth.
06:34Death-defying pace here on main event.
06:45As we talk about what a big moment this is here for Grayson Waller, Vic.
06:49He's really looking to throw down and maybe showing some respect here to Phoenix.
06:52But typical Grayson Waller.
06:55You talk about a guy who knows how to throw his hands as well, run his mouth.
06:58And there you see him talking right now.
07:00And again, I really think at the beginning, he was soaking it in.
07:03Childhood dream, whatever you want to call it, Blake.
07:06But right now, I truly don't believe he cares if his home country, his mom, his cousin, his ex-girlfriend's brother is booing him right now or cheering for him.
07:16Because what he wants is what everyone else wants in the WWE.
07:20Gold around his waist.
07:22He's tasted it as a tag team superstar.
07:25He has yet to taste it as a singles competitor.
07:28And that includes his time in NXT.
07:31As you alluded to, Vic, former WWE tag team champion.
07:34Into the cover.
07:35Hooks the outside leg.
07:36Only two.
07:37There was not a lot on that kick out.
07:38I don't mean to cut you off.
07:39But even Waller right now realizes he has Ray Phoenix rocked.
07:42Not only from that forearm, but also that right hand.
07:45Signature Grayson Waller offense here.
07:48As Waller soaking in the moment, looking out to the crowd.
07:51Drops the elbow into the cover.
07:53Could this be a Hopetown victory?
07:55Right on the cusp there.
07:57And Vic, the last time we were here in Perth, it was a bit more of an American nightmare for the Aussie icon.
08:01You can say that again because I think he's also thinking about it.
08:05He's thinking about every moment that has made him into the man that he is.
08:10He always talks about those viral moments.
08:12He always talks about going viral.
08:14That you see out there amongst the WWE Universe.
08:17People taking out their phones.
08:18He's pointing people out in the crowd.
08:20The biggest moment for him though would be to silence Phoenix.
08:23Pick up a victory.
08:24But right now that's easier said than done.
08:27Counter offense here by Ray Phoenix.
08:29The clothesline takes down Grayson Waller.
08:31Of course Vic, you were recently front and center.
08:33An absolute banger by Phoenix.
08:35Answering the open challenge for the US Champion Sami Zayn.
08:38That was an amazing matchup for Phoenix.
08:40Into the cover.
08:41Hooks the leg.
08:43Only two.
08:44Ray Phoenix is just that good.
08:45And you know that matchup you go back.
08:47He was so close.
08:48He was on the cusp of victory.
08:49On the cusp of putting gold around his waist.
08:52But sometimes you just got to keep your foot on the gas.
08:55That's Phoenix.
08:56And here it is again.
08:57He took too much time, right?
08:58He'll be looking to go to the inside out.
09:00But Waller creates that separation here.
09:03Seen this in the past.
09:04Vintage Grayson Waller.
09:06Going for it.
09:07And drops Phoenix face first in the flat liner.
09:10Will that be all?
09:13Phoenix somehow holds on.
09:14Grayson showing a bit of frustration right here.
09:16Of course.
09:17The smile is no longer on the face of the arrogant Aussie.
09:21The Aussie icon.
09:22Whatever you want to call him.
09:23And he might be going for broke.
09:25Looks like he's going right back to the offensive attack.
09:28But meets the boot of Phoenix right there.
09:30Big super kick.
09:31Now Phoenix starting to roll.
09:33And Vic, we talk about Phoenix here.
09:35Only his fifth match in the WWE at WrestleMania.
09:38Yeah, that's an absolute highlight for anybody.
09:40But right now, wait a minute.
09:41Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:43Set him up here.
09:44Could be looking for that Mexican muscle buster.
09:45Oh!
09:46We saw Axiom's mask get ripped off a couple of weeks ago.
09:48Grayson going for Ray Phoenix right here.
09:51Now has control.
09:52Innovative offense from the top.
09:55Into the cover.
09:56And Waller gets the hometown win.
09:59Wow.
10:00Here is your winner.
10:02Grayson Waller.
10:08And Vic digging deep into the playbook right here.
10:13Grayson Waller busting out some new offense.
10:15Let's take another look.
10:16Ray Phoenix pushing the absolute limit.
10:18But you see that flipping leg drop there,
10:20driving Phoenix's face right into the canvas.
10:23And Grayson Waller pulling out a career height.
10:26Quite the homecoming for Grayson Waller here on Main Event.
10:35Grayson Waller definitely gave us
10:37Australia something to cheer about with that impressive win
10:40over Ray Phoenix.
10:41And speaking of impressive,
10:43the tag team division is about to take center stage
10:45as Alpha Academy clashes with OTM in a high energy showdown.
10:50That's coming your way next on the best of Main Event.
10:53This January.
10:58From Kaft in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
11:03Two epic nights.
11:06WWE fans are ready for Friday Night Smackdown.
11:12One historic road to WrestleMania.
11:15For the first time in Riyadh, the Royal Rumble.
11:20The weekend that changes everything.
11:23Tickets on sale now.
11:25Until now.
11:40Royal Rumble is presented by Cricket.
11:43Join Cricket Nation and get reliable nationwide 5G.
11:46Miles, you're on Cricket.
11:48Cricket. And by Ram Truck. Nothing stops Ram. And by Intuit TurboTax. Now this is taxes.
11:58Ah, the Royal Rumble. It has always been one of my personal favorite events because I mean,
12:04what better way to ring in the new year and officially start the road to Wrestlemania than
12:09with 30 superstars launching themselves and each other over the top rope. I'm sure the four
12:14superstars we're about to see would love nothing more than to punch their ticket to Riyadh this
12:19January for a chance to win the Men's Royal Rumble. But in this matchup, OTM was chasing a different
12:25kind of first. The first win right here on Main Event. Standing in their way, everyone's favorite
12:30odd couple. The Alpha Academy's powerhouse, Otis, and the always unpredictable, Akira Tozawa.
12:43The following is a tag team match schedule for one fall. Introducing first, accompanied by Maxine Dupre,
12:58and a combined weight of 486 pounds, Otis, and Akira Tozawa, Elsa, and Chenevy!
13:09Are you all right, Blake? Another big tag team matchup. And maybe, just maybe,
13:16Alpha Academy with the future Women's Intercontinental Champion in Maxine Dupre. She has a lot of
13:25unfinished business with the current champion, that being the man, Becky Lynch.
13:31Certainly quite the proclamation right there.
13:33like signification matchup. We're gonna have a whole bunch of blue people already try and
13:59have feedback and make a difference.
14:00Here's the opponents at a combined weight of 545 pounds, Lucian Bice and Bronco Neymar,
14:27Blake, if you don't know these two, you better learn their names.
14:34Well, of course, we're talking about the boys from the left coast.
14:37They're back for more right in their backyards here, Vic.
14:39And over the last couple of weeks, they've officially put the NXT Tag Team Division on notice.
14:44They're putting everybody on notice.
14:46And they are here tonight.
14:48I know we talked about statement wins earlier when it came to our opening contest.
14:53Los Garza and Street Profits.
14:56The mood just changed when these two came out because everyone is in awe of what they're looking at in OTM.
15:02And this certainly would be a statement win out the gates for Lucian and Bronco.
15:08As Bronco Neymar going to get things started here with the powerful porterhouse in the form of Otis.
15:13And, of course, we saw OTM a couple of weeks back against the War Raiders here on Main Event.
15:16But it looks like OTM has already shifted gears a bit.
15:19A little bit.
15:20You know, it's something that Booker T actually brought up on Tuesday on NXT recently.
15:24That these guys have learned.
15:29These guys have learned what it takes to be superstars.
15:32You can't care about someone in the locker room.
15:34You can't care about what other people think.
15:36You certainly can't care about what the fans think.
15:39Now, I don't necessarily agree with that.
15:40But who am I really to argue with a two-time Hall of Famer in Booker T?
15:43As we're looking at a power struggle right here, of course, is the first action on Main Event for Alpha Academy in a little over a month.
15:49But, of course, both jumping in the mix for the number one contenders Battle Royal on Raw last Monday.
15:54And, you know, OTM can pick up a win here.
15:55They might find themselves number one contenders on any division that they want when it comes to the tag team.
15:59Tell us, how many times can you say a team has beaten Otis down the way they have that easily?
16:04Taking short work of Otis right here is right now.
16:07Bryson Neymar manhandling Otis over 300 pounds.
16:10Otis turns right through.
16:12Oh, and look at that retaliation.
16:13That might have spoke a little bit too soon because the tag's made.
16:16And we're about to feel the power of Tozawa.
16:19And Tozawa up top with a bit of an assist from Otis.
16:24And Tozawa into the cover.
16:26Only gets one right there.
16:28And, of course, taking a look at the Raw Tag Team Division, Vic.
16:31Brand new champions.
16:33Maybe this is the time for Alpha Academy to strike for that tag title opportunity.
16:36OTM as well.
16:36Any team on Raw.
16:38Right.
16:38And you're 100% right.
16:39I mean, new champions come new challengers.
16:41When one door closes, another door opens.
16:43There's going to be a lot of questions for Adam Pearson.
16:46Wait a minute.
16:47Tozawa just got yoked.
16:48As Bryce looking out towards Otis.
16:51Oh, wow.
16:52Lucian just got scrambled.
16:53But the stamina monster right there.
16:55Oh, goes for Otis.
16:56But Bronco Neymar heads up.
16:57Pulling Otis right off the apron.
16:59Booker, man.
16:59How smart.
17:00Everything Otis has learned over the last year.
17:03Otis looking very intense.
17:04Get Alpha Academy.
17:06Get back in this one.
17:08As Otis dominates on main event.
17:10In Vegas, everything's a game.
17:23Some nights, it's played without cards or dice.
17:29Just tension.
17:30Every move measured.
17:34Every look.
17:35A strategy sharpened.
17:39Always watching your back.
17:47Prepared for anything.
17:49Never knowing who the real threat is.
18:04Or who might show up at the table.
18:15WrestleMania Vegas.
18:19It's anyone's game.
18:30Back here on main event.
18:32Lucian Price, Bronco Neymar absolutely annihilating Akira Tozawa right now.
18:36And taking a look at the NXT Tag Team landscape right now.
18:39Vic, imagine OTM stepping up to the now two-time NXT Tag Team Champions Dark Star.
18:45Now that would be a fight.
18:46There would be some men throwing some hands.
18:49And I mean, that would be great.
18:50I think you should go talk to Ava.
18:52Maybe see if you can get what that one made official.
18:55No pun intended from Adam Pearce.
18:56Certainly could earmark.
18:57That one may be coming up soon.
18:58OTM certainly could be looking at some more wins.
19:01And of course, we saw what they've done to the likes of Hank and Tank.
19:03Could be the most dominant unit in the NXT Tag Team division.
19:05It's how it did to Otis before the break.
19:08Otis, I don't even think, has moved yet.
19:09But Maxine has been very concerned over on the far side of the ring as OTM has really isolated and is destroying Tozawa.
19:19And Lucian Price here.
19:21The intensity and a big stomp from Bronco Neymar.
19:24These two feeling very comfortable right now.
19:27As Price, the legal man, into the cover hooks the outside leg.
19:30Earlier this year, you would have went back to February.
19:32That would have happened.
19:33These two men would have been looking around.
19:35Now you fast forward to the here and the now and you see Lucian go right into the cover because they know they need to win matches.
19:41They're blocking out the noise.
19:43And they're trying to do what they have said they would do since their arrival in the WWE.
19:48Dominate and win and put gold around their waist.
19:52We'll talk about what a different vibe this is for OTM.
19:54As you see Maxine Dupree looking on.
19:56Vic, you earmarked her as the potential future Women's Intercontinental Champion.
19:59No quote words in my mouth.
20:01You said it right at the top of the match.
20:02No, no, no, no.
20:02You know, I said potentially.
20:04I didn't say it would happen.
20:06Wordsmith over here.
20:06Open-ended.
20:07But nonetheless, Maxine certainly.
20:09Oh, no.
20:09Something that Tozawa and Otis can learn from here.
20:11But nice counter by Tozawa to the DDT.
20:13There's one thing they've learned from Maxine.
20:15It's about how to persevere.
20:17It's about how to never give up.
20:18And Tozawa, you can see him the pain.
20:20But look who's up.
20:21And speaking of that perseverance, Otis back up.
20:23He's on the apron.
20:24And the powerful porterhouse ready to unleash.
20:28And there's the tag.
20:29And over 300 pounds of Otis connects with Lucian Price.
20:34What do you call him?
20:34The powerful what?
20:35Porterhouse.
20:36Well, right now he is tenderizing OTN.
20:38Oh!
20:38Big back elbow.
20:39And Otis starting to feel it right now.
20:41Look at the smooth moves of the big man.
20:43Bam!
20:44Big clothesline.
20:45Down goes Bronco Nima.
20:46This place became unglued when Otis tagged back into the match.
20:50The eighth main event tag team match of the year here for the Alpha Academy.
20:54The workhorses of main event.
20:56Looking to get the job done right now.
20:57Uh-oh.
21:02Starting to feel it, Vic.
21:03Well, Bronco might want to get out the mud right now.
21:06Because if not, he's about to get squashed.
21:08And Otis.
21:09Stop wiggling your hips.
21:11Here we go.
21:13It's caterpillar time on main event.
21:16There's the cover.
21:18Referee Jessica Carr.
21:20Oh!
21:22Only two as Lucian Price breaks it up.
21:24He saw the desperation.
21:25There's Tozawa, though.
21:26And the stamina monster sends Price to the outside.
21:29Tozawa picking up steam.
21:30Open up the cockpit door.
21:33As Tozawa flies right through.
21:36Right back up on the apron.
21:38And there's the tag.
21:40And Otis drops Bronco Nima.
21:43Tozawa in position.
21:45And take a look at the flying filet.
21:48Put a little seasoning on this victory.
21:50Here are your winners.
21:56Helpa!
21:58Academy!
21:59How many more meat puns can you get into this match?
22:02What a victory, though, it was for these two.
22:05It is all sizzle right here for these two.
22:08As Maxine Dupree picking up some momentum of her own the last couple of weeks.
22:12And Otis and Tozawa looking to feed off.
22:14And look at Tozawa soaring right through the air.
22:16Here that's Senton connects with Bronco Nima.
22:20And Vicky talked about it.
22:21The eighth main event tag team match of the year.
22:24Otis and Tozawa, they're back on track.
22:26New champions in the Raw Tag Team Division.
22:29And now Alpha Academy throwing their hat in the ring for a tag team title shot on Monday night.
22:35Akira and Tozawa picks up the win for Alpha Academy.
22:38And unfortunately for OTM, that means they slide to 0-3 here on main event.
22:42But hey, OTM weren't the only ones chasing that first victory.
22:46Before she captured the Women's World Championship, La Primera Stephanie Vaquer had her main event debut
22:52against one of the toughest competitors in WWE, Ivy Nile.
22:56Don't move.
22:57That match is next.
23:12Give me the glory, give me the glory.
23:15I got the world in the palm of my hand.
23:17I've been a story, I cannot be sorry.
23:19I gave them the glory of selling the plans.
23:21That was just part of the plan.
23:24Give me the glory.
23:25Yeah.
23:25The dream of my life.
23:46Being the World Champion of WWE.
23:48But this is not a swan song.
24:06This is a coronation.
24:07The best female superstar on the planet.
24:15Enfrentaré cada batalla con honor y respeto.
24:18Pero en cada una demostraré por qué yo soy la mejor del mundo.
24:24Yo soy la primera.
24:27Y este es solamente el comienzo.
24:29Porque mi fuego seguirá arrasando con todo por siempre.
24:33Welcome back to the Best of Main event.
24:41When you look at the women's division,
24:42it's tough to find anyone who had a better year than Stephanie Vaquer.
24:47La Primera is on fire.
24:49After defeating Io Sky at Wrestlepalooza
24:51to capture the vacant Women's World Championship,
24:54Vaquer went on a tear,
24:56successfully defending her title against Raquel Rodriguez
24:59and even WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella.
25:02But before she was wearing championship gold
25:04and racking up title defenses,
25:06Stephanie Vaquer stepped onto the main event stage
25:09for the very first time.
25:11And she didn't exactly pick a cupcake of an opponent.
25:14Her debut came against the always fierce,
25:17always focused, tough as nails, Ivy Nile.
25:20The following contest is
25:49Let's take her for one fall, introducing first, from San Fernando Chile, Stephanie Vaquer!
26:02Getting the action started here amidst a very busy weekend for all brands of the WWE,
26:08La Primera star continues to shine in her main event debut just one day before Evolution.
26:14As Stephanie Vaquer looks to set it off here on main event, we welcome you in, Blake Howard,
26:23alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph.
26:25Very busy weekend and week for you.
26:28It certainly was. I know Booker T is very jealous right now, but run through the list of what's happening this week.
26:33We've got a great American bash.
26:35Did you say that a second ago?
26:37I was leading that for the voice of NXT.
26:38No, see, Stephanie Vaquer would be very upset with you, a former NXT women's champion,
26:42a women's North American champion.
26:44The great American bash kicks things off in Atlanta.
26:55And her opponent, representing American made, from Knoxville, Tennessee,
27:04I.P. Nile!
27:07Before I let you do your job, I'm going to ask you a question.
27:10Okay.
27:10Whom stepped into the ring this week on Monday.
27:16That word's red, white, and blue.
27:18I can only assume you're talking about El Grande Americano.
27:21Whom, over the last week or so, has shown on social media the successful surgery he had.
27:28What's up about Chad Gable?
27:29So there's obviously, Chad Gable is not El Grande Americano, nor has he ever been.
27:34I did find it very interesting, Monday on Raw.
27:37No tattoo on the back of the neck of El Grande Americano.
27:40See, you always love to stir the pot.
27:41Why don't you do your job and talk about the pit bull?
27:44Well, we certainly go from premier to pit bull.
27:46And talking about great Americans, Vic, a big American made July 4th weekend, Ivy Nile.
27:51Laser focus on her opportunity tomorrow night in Atlanta.
27:55Well, look, this women's battle royal.
28:00Talk about, hold on a second.
28:03Feel the tension rising.
28:05These two have become rivals over the last couple of months on the Monday Night Raw brand, of course, as you're pointing out there, Vic.
28:09A part of that battle royal tomorrow night at Evolution for an opportunity and a title shot at Clash in Paris coming up.
28:17Vic, who needs it more?
28:17Well, that's what I was getting ready to talk about, is this is a huge opportunity for all the women.
28:21Not only women on Monday Night Raw, women in SmackDown, including the women on NXT as well.
28:27It's a big statement-making night.
28:31Evolution, second all-women show, first one in seven years.
28:35And for someone like Ivy Nile, this could be a statement made, right?
28:39Someone like Stephanie Viqueira, this could be a coming-out party of sorts outside of NXT.
28:43Stephanie Viqueira is my pick to win that battle royal.
28:47That's certainly a big statement right there.
28:48La Primera certainly showed out in the Money in the Bank ladder match.
28:52And now looking to turn the corner right here on the Monday Night Raw brand.
28:55As this rivalry continues here with Ivy Niles, both of these two amping things up in recent weeks.
29:00And look at La Primera here.
29:02Stacks are up.
29:03Only gets two, but Vic, we go back.
29:05Talking about NXT, look at Ivy Nile.
29:08And a steal one here from La Primera.
29:10But you go back over the last six months.
29:12What mark did La Primera leave in just that short time in NXT?
29:17I think she really re-energized, set a refocus of sorts, and really showed the women in NXT.
29:23And those that are on Evolve, those who may be under a WWE ID talent contract,
29:30show them that you can do anything you want.
29:32You can come in in a short amount of time and rewrite the history.
29:35Boom!
29:35As Vaquer has her eyes set right there on Ivy Nile.
29:40Rolls her right out into the center of the ring.
29:43Puts the outside leg.
29:43Only gets one.
29:44One thing I've noticed about Stephanie Vaquer-
29:46Well, here we go.
29:48Crucifix.
29:48Shoulders are down.
29:50Is that unlike when she arrived in NXT?
29:52She now has almost more of a killer instinct.
29:54She's not waiting around.
29:55She's going right for a pin.
29:57She's looking to win.
29:58But look at the strength of Ivy Nile.
30:00Certainly know about the power and strength on full display right here at the Pit Bull.
30:04Stephanie Vaquer said she will dominate on Monday nights,
30:06and she's certainly done a great job thus far.
30:09Uh-oh.
30:10Ivy puts on the brakes and right into the backbreaker.
30:14As Ivy Nile here has big opportunity right in front of her, Vic.
30:18And what could a win tomorrow mean for Ivy's future?
30:21It could mean a lot.
30:22Obviously a championship opportunity.
30:24But this moment right here we're seeing out of Ivy Nile is something Stephanie Vaquer learned about.
30:29She could have went for a cover.
30:30She could have went to try to win the matchup off of that devastating clothesline.
30:33Instead, she's trying to get under the skin of her opponent.
30:36She's trying to almost manipulate those that are in the WWE universe to try to get the jeers.
30:42This is a different side of Ivy Nile than when she first arrived in NXT,
30:46when she first stepped in to the WWE Performance Center down in Orlando.
30:50And a lot of that credit, Vic, could be given to Chad Gable.
30:53It very well could be.
30:54And I think you're 100% right.
30:56Oh!
30:56Not only Ivy, but also the Brothers Creed as well.
31:00All are looking for championship gold.
31:02And with a win at Evolution in Atlanta, in that Battle Royal,
31:07she's three seconds away from putting gold around her waist.
31:11Vic, of course, we know these are two of the participants in the Battle Royal.
31:13But that lineup continuing to get stacked,
31:16as we saw this past Tuesday with Ava making some big announcements.
31:19Ava, and I've said this before about the general manager of NXT,
31:22is this is a great show of strength from Ivy Nile.
31:25Here we go, Ivy into the cover off the delayed vertical suplex.
31:28Swords are down to Bacare, but only two.
31:30Ava at such a young age, Ava's ability to make these matches,
31:36to have that maturity to keep her emotions in check,
31:39the things she has done, the matches she has made down at NXT,
31:42she is well ahead of her time.
31:45I think, for my money, the best general manager in the WWE.
31:49Certainly making a statement each and every Tuesday night.
31:52Ivy Nile right here has been making a statement on main event throughout 2025.
31:55Her seventh matchup already here on main event.
31:58Looking to turn that corner with what would be a huge win over Stephanie Vaquer.
32:01This would be the biggest win, by the way.
32:03This would be the biggest win of Ivy Nile's career.
32:06And certainly a great way to get some momentum going into the weekend.
32:08Here we go, a roll-up by Vaquer, only getting one.
32:10Oh, and of course, taking a look at tomorrow night, American Maid perhaps could use that win by Ivy Nile.
32:18Certainly could do it for one Chad Gable.
32:20Well, look, they could do it for Chad Gable.
32:21And also, you've got to think, how does it set the tone for those I just talked about in Julius and Brutus?
32:27And of course, Vic, we talk about the big tests in front of us right now.
32:31But up next, Sami Zayn tests his will against a certifiable badass in Braun Breaker from this past Monday.
32:37Another man who really redefined NXT, defined an era of that brand, Braun Breaker, former Intercontinental Champion.
32:45Here we go, Vaquer into the cover, hooks the outside leg, only getting one.
32:49Of course, Stephanie Vaquer, very familiar with being a double champion, former NXT Women's North American and NXT Women's Champion.
32:55Trying to turn the corner right here, Vic.
32:57She wants to go to Clash in Paris and get that title opportunity.
33:00A hundred percent.
33:00We have to remember, too, she relinquished the Women's North American Championship.
33:04She was never defeated for that title.
33:06But the woman that did defeat her, bam, was J.C. Jane for the NXT Women's Championship.
33:12And Evolution, she is going to go one-on-one with Jordan Grace.
33:16Major test for Fatal Influence coming up.
33:19Nice.
33:20At Evolution, and of course, right now, Stephanie Vaquer.
33:23Ivy Nile is staying with it.
33:24Trying to get back in this one.
33:26Oh, Nile goes for it all.
33:29And Vaquer, oh!
33:30You see that smile in the corner.
33:32And a big dragon screw leg whip.
33:35And now Vaquer getting right into position here.
33:39Has Nile up.
33:40Oh!
33:40S-V-B!
33:44And La Primera prevails.
33:50Here is your winner, Stephanie Vaquer!
33:56And Vic, that's a way to make a statement heading into the weekend.
33:59Certainly is one way to build some momentum heading to Evolution.
34:04You see the snap there in that dragon screw leg whip.
34:06As Stephanie Vaquer, laser focus.
34:08Boom!
34:08And then, bam, the back of the neck, right on that knee.
34:11No devil's kiss tonight, Vic.
34:13But Stephanie Vaquer picks up the dunk.
34:16La Primera makes a statement in her main event debut as Stephanie Vaquer grinds out a hard-fought victory to earn her first win here on the show.
34:25But right now, it's time to shift gears.
34:27So buckle up, because the next one is going to be fast, furious, and explosive.
34:31Fraxium came in hungry and determined to prove they belong on the big stage.
34:36But standing across the ring, the masters of timing, teamwork, and tag team wizardry.
34:42This high-octane showdown is headed your way next on the Best of Main Event.
34:48But before we turn the page, let's pause to honor the closing chapter of a legendary career.
34:55We look back at the GOAT, John Cena's final match last weekend at Saturday night's main event.
35:01John Cena is the hardest-working guy anybody will ever meet, and that's when he passes on to the next generation.
35:31I don't know, he just has this incredible connection, not only with fans, but just with people.
35:36And that's what makes him such a wonderful human being.
35:39Ladies and gentlemen, John Cena's 23-year journey now reaches the finish line.
35:53I'm gonna break your spirits.
35:56I'm gonna force you to give up.
36:01It's like a vision, intuition, it's a feeling deep inside, and everything looks different from what you left behind.
36:12Is it the light? Is it the fight?
36:15Something has changed, but it's alright.
36:18A new sensation that could help me to survive.
36:22Cause when the end of the fight takes control of the game to play store for, there's nowhere else to hurt any longer, any longer.
36:34Cause what you're feeling is better, just what I'm playing.
36:39It's better, so much game in the hand.
36:44When the body comes to never lengths in the air.
36:47It's better, I'll celebrate.
36:50It's better, I'll be your hearted soul.
36:53You can feel the growth, soon you've got it done.
36:55And now the only thing you hear is to start up your own heart beat
37:04How much does Cena have left?
37:25How much do you think?
37:55Tonight, professional wrestling destroyed sports entertainment.
38:55It's been a pleasure serving you all this week.
39:17Friday Night SmackDown and Saturday Night's Main Event are coming to the Bell Center in
39:25Montreal on Friday, January 23rd and Saturday, January 24th.
39:29Combo and individual event tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
39:35Well, from the Paris of North America, beautiful Montreal, we're hopping across the Atlantic
39:43to the actual city of life, Paris, France.
39:45And trust me, our final match shines just as bright.
39:49Fraxium and the Motor City machine guns tore the house down in what many are calling the
39:54Main Event match of the year.
39:56A high-flying, high-speed offensive showcase that had fans in Paris on their feet from belle
40:01to belle.
40:02Oh, Vic, we're in for a banger right here.
40:07We will not be able to blink in this tag team match here on Main Event.
40:14The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
40:29Introducing first, with a combined weight of 355 pounds, Fraxium!
40:37Fraxium!
40:38Well, Vic, we did see that hometown banger last week with Sheamus.
40:42Could certainly be in for another major confrontation right here in the tag team ranks with the loaded
40:48SmackDown tag team division on full display.
40:50It is certainly loaded.
40:52You can say that again from these two teams of the Street Profits.
40:55That's why it's six, DIY, we can keep going with all the tag teams, really, in the WWE.
41:02Going back to what we talked about in the first matchup, but these two specifically, they move like a blur.
41:08They strike like a cobra.
41:10We better buckle up for this matchup.
41:12We saw those titles on display at Clash in Paris.
41:15Now a potential big-time contenders match right here on Main Event.
41:22And their opponents, with a combined weight of 412 pounds, Alex Daly.
41:29And their opponents, with a combined weight of 412 pounds, Alex Daly.
41:32Chris Haven.
41:33Motor City Machine Guy.
41:34Motor City Machine Guy.
41:35And their opponents, with a combined weight of 412 pounds, Alex Daly.
41:39Chris Haven.
41:40Motor City Machine Guy.
41:45And their opponents, with a combined weight of 412 pounds, Alex Daly.
41:52Chris Haven.
41:53And their opponents, with a WWE tag team set for battle in their main event debut, as the
42:05boys from Detroit look to get back to their winning weight.
42:07Now these are two guys I've known for a very long time.
42:09I've learned a lot from both these individuals and Corey Graves said this to me one time.
42:15Motor City Machine Guns is your tag team's favorite tag team.
42:21I mean, these guys have done it all over the world.
42:23To see them here, to call this match, this is going to be a treat, not just for them in the WWE Universe,
42:28a treat for Praxium, and a treat for us sitting here at Ringside College.
42:32Well, Vic, to that point, for wrestling fans in the last 15, 20 years, how big of a dream match is this?
42:37It's huge.
42:38I mean, this is why I say we can't blink.
42:40We're going to see things done in this matchup that we can only dream about.
42:43I mean, they're going to be moving fast.
42:45It's going to be quick.
42:46It's going to be high impact.
42:48This is a match that truly is a tag team main event anywhere in the world.
42:53Indeed it is.
42:59And you can hear the incredible reaction from the WWE Universe.
43:02But Vic, the big question, who needs this win more?
43:04I think they both do.
43:05I think this is a must win for both these teams as, again, you hear the WWE Universe,
43:10and you talk about the SmackDown tag team division.
43:12You talk about everything going on.
43:14Every single match, it matters.
43:16It doesn't matter if it's on main event.
43:18It doesn't matter if it's a WWE live event anywhere in the world when we come to a city near you.
43:22It doesn't matter if it's on SmackDown every single Friday.
43:25This is must win.
43:26Cover.
43:27Shelly trying to end it early.
43:28And Vic, as we saw last Sunday, the line for the WWE tag team titles clearly starts with the Wyatt Six.
43:34It does.
43:35And that's the scary thing, right?
43:36I mean, it's Halloween Horror Nights come to life.
43:38Bam!
43:39Every single Friday on SmackDown.
43:40And that's what these two teams know.
43:42That's what these two teams are fighting for.
43:44And when it comes to Raw and SmackDown,
43:46Motorstein and Machine Guns, they've been to the top of the mountain.
43:48Fraxium has not.
43:49Fraxium, in the eyes of many, is the greatest tag team ever in NXT.
43:53Boom!
43:54There's the speed.
43:55That's why I say they move like a blur.
43:56They strike like a cobra.
43:57Look at that incredible double team right here.
43:59As Frazer and Axiom.
44:01Dialing it up, sending Saban to the outside.
44:04Now they take a look around here, Vic.
44:07Oh!
44:08To base suicide on one side.
44:10Fraxium is the definition of tag team specialists.
44:13They are excitement personified.
44:16The frenetic pace continues.
44:19As Frazer and Axiom.
44:21Rocking and rolling here on Main Event.
44:33And Vic, we talk about the influence on the styles of all professional wrestling right now.
44:37The modern style that the Motor City Machine Guns bring.
44:40You can see right there the influence on Fraxium.
44:42100%.
44:43And that's why, for Fraxium, you start to wonder how big the butterflies are.
44:46They're the size of the Eagles deep down within these two.
44:49As again, WWE Universe rallying both teams.
44:52Tag was made.
44:53Indeed, as Saban and Selle now look to continue this pace.
44:58Nice combo offense.
44:59Big DDT by Shelly.
45:01As Saban, the legal man, goes for the cover.
45:03Hooks the outside leg of Axiom.
45:05And again, a near fall.
45:07But Vic, one thing you can certainly say, a lot of mutual respect between these two teams.
45:11I don't buy any of this.
45:21They're fake smiles.
45:26Tired outfits.
45:30What a work.
45:32Tell me what time it is.
45:35Tiffy time!
45:37I'm the reason the room goes silent.
45:40And soon, I will be again.
45:46WrestleMania Vegas.
45:49It's anyone's game.
45:51Back here on Main Event.
45:52Motor City Machine Guns continuing to roll all throughout the break.
45:57And another double team.
45:59Shelly into the cover on Axiom.
46:00Hooks the outside leg.
46:01Only gets two.
46:02WWE Universe.
46:03WWE Universe.
46:04Electricator here.
46:05That's what we said.
46:06It's a dream matchup.
46:07I mean, Nathan Frazier, eyes wide open right now.
46:08What a matchup.
46:09This tag was made.
46:10In comes Saban.
46:11And look, when it comes to Chris Saban, I couldn't even get a word with him earlier.
46:14He's a former TNA World Champion.
46:15I was trying to get his thoughts on Trick Williams being the current TNA World Champion and what
46:37he's done on NXT.
46:39He was so focused on this matchup.
46:41And that's what I think added to the gravity of this matchup here right now that we're calling.
46:45Both teams know how important this matchup is for the rankings.
46:50However you want to break it down in terms of being in championship contention.
46:54The Machine Guns also former three-time TNA World Tag Team Champions.
46:58As Axiom looking to fight back.
47:00Of course, Axiom and Frazier dominated for over a year in the NXT Tag Team Division.
47:06The innovative offensive Saban.
47:10Dropping Axiom.
47:11Stomach first.
47:12Reverse Samoan drop.
47:13And look, Fraxium knows strangers to meeting their heroes and their idols.
47:17It was earlier this year on NXT.
47:19They faced the current TNA World Tag Team Champions.
47:22That being the Hardys.
47:24So, Fraxium's used to this.
47:25But this atmosphere, as loud as this place is, you gotta give the edge of the Motor City Machine Guns.
47:30Tag made on either side.
47:32You saw a little bit of a slip there by Nathan Frazier.
47:34You start to wonder, are things getting to him right now?
47:37Because the pace is quickening.
47:39The magnitude of this match is starting to grow.
47:41We've seen Frazier at times.
47:42They move too quickly for his own body.
47:44As Shelly gets popped right in the mouth.
47:47And Frazier.
47:48One mistake could be the difference in this matchup.
47:51Standing Shooting Star.
47:52Indeed into the cover.
47:53Wow, so close.
47:55Right on the cusp there is Fraxium.
47:58As both teams back and forth right here.
48:02Of course, Fraxium, you've seen some amazing showings from them.
48:05You almost wonder, are they getting lost in that SmackDown Tag Team Shuffle?
48:09Tag was made.
48:10Axiom is now legal.
48:12And Shelly.
48:13Trying to combat them both one on two.
48:15You want to get out of that shuffle?
48:16You don't want to get lost?
48:18It's easy.
48:19You pick up wins.
48:20That could start right here.
48:22As Axiom launches Frazier.
48:24And a big double team into the brain buster.
48:26Combination offense for Axiom's legal.
48:28Axiom into the cover.
48:29And Saban breaks it up.
48:31This one's starting to break down a bit.
48:32And if Nathan Frazier had a little bit more right there,
48:34I think he was trying to get back some breath after all the moving he's been doing.
48:38He couldn't break up the count as he flies over the top.
48:40Wipes out Saban.
48:41Slingshot, plunging to the outside.
48:43And look, Shelly's looking around.
48:44There's no one to tag.
48:45Indeed, looking for his tag team partner of over a decade.
48:49And right now, Shelly inside the ring with Axiom.
48:52Of course, Axiom just a kid from Madrid.
48:56Looking to get it done right here.
48:58Back and forth they go.
49:01Whoa.
49:02Counter into a submission.
49:05And Shelly.
49:06Nice counter yet again to create some separation.
49:08Goes for Saban again.
49:09But Vic, there's no crusade.
49:10But there is a Nathan Frazier and a tag was made on the far side of the ring.
49:13For Axiom looking to capitalize right here.
49:15The Irish Ripper Versal.
49:16Step up in Zaguri.
49:18And now Nathan Frazier has Shelly in position.
49:22And there's Chris Saban.
49:23What a timely appearance.
49:26And Shelly connects in the corner.
49:29There's the tag to Saban.
49:31And the former WWE Tag Team Champions looking to dial it up right here.
49:35Boom.
49:37What a combination to the flat liner.
49:39And remember it's Frazier who's legal.
49:41Axiom just got wiped out.
