02:06I certainly am, but at least wherever you're watching around the world, we're starting our night with these two lucha legends in tag team competition.
02:16It's certainly been quite the week for the Americanos clan, dating back to the Royal Rumble this past Monday on Raw.
02:22I can only imagine. These two, El Grande Americanos, seeing that, as I said, impostor stealing their identity, showing up out of nowhere.
02:31I thought he was the original El Grande Americanos.
02:34That's what it said, at least. How do you know?
02:37Well, we'll get into that throughout the match.
03:04And their opponents, from Detroit, Michigan, with a combined weight of 412 pounds, Alex Kelly, Chris Haven, Motor City Machine Gun.
03:26Now, taking a look at the opposition right here, one of the top teams on Friday Night SmackDown, bona fide tag team legend, Alex Kelly and Chris Haven.
03:35Yeah, we got four legendary competitors in this ring for this tag team matchup.
03:39And this is going to be high octane. It's going to be fast paced. It's going to be nonstop. And these four are, I mean, what a way to kick off main event. I'm excited for what we're about to see.
03:53Kicking off main event, our first stop here on the road to WrestleMania. And taking a look at both sides, Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown, we know those tag team divisions really heating up.
04:03Top tag team contenders on Monday Night Raw. We're going to see them a little bit later on here on main event, Vic.
04:08Yeah, we talk about being on the road to WrestleMania. Let's not forget Stand and Deliver, WrestleMania Saturday.
04:14We're also on the road to Stand and Deliver, which as we saw this past Tuesday on NXT, a new champion was crowned.
04:21Certainly shaking things up in NXT as right now are looking to shake some things up here in the Raw and SmackDown tag team divisions.
04:28And we talk about Shelly and Saban being one of the best teams of this generation. But Vic, looking recently, we're looking to check off one of the boxes,
04:35going down to Triple H, trying to win the World Tag Team titles.
04:38Yeah, I mean, they're internationally known, locally respected. They have influenced a generation of professional wrestlers.
04:47And I don't necessarily know if he's going to. I was going to say, I would expect Motor City Machine Guns not to fall for something like that.
04:53It's a veteran-like maneuver, if you will. I understand where you're coming from as this matchup continues.
04:58But when you start thinking about these two, I start thinking about a man that we saw this past Saturday for the final time, AJ Styles.
05:04And how much he's meant to this industry, how much he has meant to this locker room.
05:09The same can be said for the Motor City Machine Guns. Tag was made, by the way.
05:13Shelly and Saban, a lot of history with the phenomenal one, AJ Styles, in this past Saturday at the Royal Rumble.
05:18Very tough ending there, seeing Gunther put AJ Styles essentially to bed in the WWE.
05:23Yeah, 100%. And, you know, you've got to wonder what everyone in the locker room has been feeling over these last few days.
05:28Obviously, Gunther taking it to another level this past Monday on RAW in Philadelphia.
05:33But, look, we've got a tag team match right now. And I want to point out Los Americanos very sneaky with that last tag.
05:38As we see a tag here by Motor City Machine Guns.
05:41Vintage double teaming coming right here from Saban and Shelly.
05:44Number three-time TNA World Tag Team Champions. And, of course, just a couple of weeks into the WWE, securing tag team gold on SmackDown.
05:51I mean, they have been a success wherever they have gone. Here's where it gets tricky though, Blake.
05:56They're not just happy. They're not complacent. They want to find that success one more time.
06:02They want to be part of the grandest stage of them all. They want to make their way to Las Vegas. They want to be part of WrestleMania.
06:09Tag made to Chris Saban right here as he looks to take over. Lateral press. Doesn't hook the leg, only gets two right there.
06:14But, talking about the tag team division, talking about looking to make a mark at WrestleMania.
06:19When did the Machine Guns turn their attention to Solo Sokoa and the MFTs?
06:22I think their attention is on all of them, to be fair. I think they are focused on the tag team titles.
06:29But, I think they also are smart enough to realize they just can't walk in and start demanding opportunities.
06:34They got to earn it.
06:35In unison, Shelly the cover hooks the outside leg.
06:38A referee was doing a nice job making sure Chris Saban made his way out of the ring.
06:41That obviously allowing Los Americanos to stay in this game.
06:46Of course, Machine Guns do have some history there with the MFTs going back to that traditional Survivor Series matchup.
06:51Back at the end of 2025. And look at the elevation right to the outside.
06:55But, Los Americanos!
06:56Oh, no, no, no, no! Oh!
06:58Oh!
06:59And that numbers game playing a role right here. Bravo and Ryo working in unison.
07:04I don't know if the engine is going to work in the Motor City Machine Guns after that.
07:09As right now, you can hear the crowd in Riyadh raining down on Bravo and Ryo.
07:15And...
07:16I will say one thing. That wasn't very Lucha-esque.
07:19No, it certainly was not. Tag made again here. Bravo to Ryo.
07:22And I think we're talking about this past Saturday at the Royal Rumble.
07:25I mean, ultimately, how do you explain two El Grande Americanos in the Royal Rumble?
07:28I don't know how to. That's why I'm saying there was an imposter. It's not right. It's wrong.
07:33It should be looked into by all the general managers across the WWE, everyone in the front office.
07:40Everyone needs to look at exactly what happened because I feel bad for Los Americanos.
07:45I mean, if you go back to the Royal Rumble kickoff, I know you sat down with heartbreak kid Shawn Michaels.
07:50And, of course, if you take a look at that first Americano, he was pretty tall.
07:53I mean, Vic, I've connected some dots right here. I know you're a pretty big fan of the Los Americanos.
07:57I have a neck that looks like a stack of dimes. Do you think I'd be getting into that ring anytime soon?
08:02Listen, anything can happen in the WWE.
08:05Look, I appreciate the sentiment, but absolutely not.
08:08Of course, we're trying to figure out which one the true Americano is.
08:11And, of course, this past Monday went one-on-one with the young OG Javon Evans.
08:15He certainly did, but just getting tied up right now. Opportunity.
08:18In the trio, whoa, here. Look at, oh!
08:21As Saban looking to get back into this matchup.
08:24Shelly inching closer and closer as Ryo.
08:28Ryo did a nice job of tagging himself.
08:29Pushed right off, and there's the tag.
08:30Into the matchup.
08:32That door has opened, and look at this.
08:34This is what makes Chris Saban so special.
08:39And the cover, here we go.
08:40World champion in TNA as well.
08:42He can get it done on so many levels, and look at this non-stop action.
08:46With a bit of an assist right there.
08:48Satellite DDT.
08:50Chris Saban starting to cook.
08:51We talked about their tag team prowess.
08:52Former 10-time TNA X Division champion.
08:55And it looked like Shelly.
08:57Uh-oh!
08:58Going to open the gate.
08:59Chris Saban going to fly through!
09:01And he stuck the landing as well.
09:04I mean, Vic, is there any tag team more cohesive than the Motor City Machine Guns?
09:09I think when you start looking around the field on SmackDown, maybe Fraxium.
09:14But that's why you said earlier the tag team division heating up on the blue brand.
09:18It certainly is.
09:19Oh, wait a minute!
09:20Looking for Skull and Bones!
09:21And Bravo and Ryo have another plan.
09:24Had it scouted.
09:25Ooh, nice dropkick.
09:26As Los Americanos trying to turn the corner, of course.
09:29They failed to win that number one contendership last Monday on Raw in that Fatal 4-Way.
09:33Now looking to turn the corner right here.
09:36A lot of tag team opportunity on the road to WrestleMania!
09:38Hurricanrana from the top!
09:41Look at this double team!
09:42No splash though.
09:43No one home.
09:44And I don't necessarily know if the momentum was able to carry Saban or not.
09:48But a tag was made.
09:49Shelly's now legal.
09:50As Motor City Machine Guns trying to get back on track right here.
09:54Vintage Machine Guns on display!
09:56Bam!
09:57Told you it was going to be high-octane.
09:59It was going to be fast-paced.
10:01It was going to be non-stop.
10:02And it has been just that and a little more.
10:04And Alex Shelly, another former TNA World Champion,
10:07looking to set it up right here.
10:08The double team's on display.
10:09What is this?
10:10Oh!
10:11Oh my!
10:12Innovation!
10:13And the big dub down!
10:15And Shelly and Saban get it done!
10:17Here are your winner, Motor City Machine Guns!
10:24And you can almost see in the eyes of both these men a sense of relief of sorts.
10:30You saw them like, yes, we got one.
10:32Because it's all about building momentum on the road to WrestleMania.
10:37And we talk about that tag team prowess earlier in the matchup going for Skull and Bones.
10:41That was derailed by Los Americanos.
10:43Shelly and Saban pivoted.
10:44They found themselves in a winning position.
10:46And Vic, we talk about opportune time.
10:49Right after the Royal Rumble.
10:50Right before the Elimination Chamber.
10:52Officially on the road to the WrestleMania.
10:54And Shelly and Saban pick up a big win here on Main Event.
10:58And the action is just getting started.
11:00Up next, the lightning fast, Joaquin Wilde.
11:02Looks for redemption after last week's setback when he goes one-on-one
11:06with the Bulgarian brute Rusev in a highly anticipated rematch.
11:10Can Joaquin turn the tables and exact his revenge here in Philadelphia?
11:14Will Rusev once again overpower the LWO sensation and force Joaquin to tap out?
11:19We're about to find out next on Main Event.
11:30Rating T for Team.
11:53Rating T for Team.
11:56Rating T for Team.

12:59Dash week
13:00Time to run it back here Vic
13:06The following contest is scheduled for one call
13:22Introducing first, representing the LWO, Joaquin Wilde
13:27It is time to run it back and one starts to wonder
13:35How much has Joaquin learned in the last week?
13:40What is Wilde going to do different this week to secure a victory?
13:45We will find that out very quickly here from the LWO sensational smooth criminal
13:50Looking at a rematch of last week here on main event
13:52And last week Vicky ran into a relative buzzsaw
13:55Oh yeah, you can say that again in his opponent
13:58Again, tonight is not going to be in a good mood
14:01He never is, but he's a little more angry
14:03After what transpired at the Royal Rumble this past Saturday
14:08If we thought we saw a chip on a shoulder a week ago
14:11That has grown immensely over the last seven days
14:14And now of course knocking on the door of the Elimination Chamber
14:17A lot of opportunity, a lot of eyes on all matchups here in the WWE
14:21And now of course knocking on the door of the Elimination Chamber
14:51The Bulgarian brood is indeed back for more and Vicky pegged him as a player
15:04Someone who can make a real impact
15:06But now as we stated with an even bigger chip on his shoulder
15:10He certainly can and look this is someone who has had
15:14Wrestlemania moments of the past, right?
15:17Was a United States Champion on multiple different occasions
15:21Competed against John Cena at Wrestlemania
15:23Wants to get back to that level
15:26But also wants to add more gold to his resume
15:30You can see how fiery he is
15:32You can see how angry he is
15:34You can see how in his eyes
15:36The damage he truly wants to do to his opponents
15:39And I don't think that after what happened at the Royal Rumble
15:43Entering, being eliminated so quickly
15:45He's in a good mood
15:46But he's coming right out of the gate at Wilde
15:48And you can see that attitude in Rusev coming at it
15:50Right away here against Joaquin Wilde
15:52And Vic to that point
15:53Rusev certainly can't feel too happy about that performance in the Rumble this past Saturday
15:57No, I mean he is a proud individual
15:59Whether you like him, whether you don't like him
16:01He is someone that is very
16:03Has a lot of pride from where he came from
16:06How he grew up
16:07What he has done in this industry
16:09He does not want to be a mockery of anything
16:12He doesn't want to be a stepping stone
16:14He doesn't want to be someone who is laughed at
16:15And I think now maybe
16:17Maybe a turning point
16:19For Rusev since his return
16:22Into being more focused, more determined
16:24And by that becoming more brutal
16:26Consecutive short arm clotheslines there
16:28By the Bulgarian Brood
16:29And you take a look at the field
16:30All 29 superstars
16:31That did not win the Royal Rumble
16:33Besides Roman Reigns essentially
16:35You gotta wonder
16:36Is Rusev the biggest what if
16:38Of the entire field
16:39I don't necessarily know that
16:40I wouldn't go out on a limb
16:42Because look, the Royal Rumble is so
16:43It's so unpredictable
16:45It's every man for themselves
16:47And yes, it is Roman Reigns who won the Royal Rumble
16:50Yes, it is Roman Reigns who this past Monday on Raw
16:53Look, CM Punk in the eyes and said
16:55I want you
16:56I want the World Heavyweight Championship
16:58We will meet in the main event of Wrestlemania
17:00That is everything that Rusev wants as well
17:03So to say that it's the biggest what if
17:05I don't necessarily know if I want to answer that
17:07Yet, but what I do know is
17:10What if Rusev gets on a roll
17:11What if Rusev starts stringing together some victories
17:14What if Rusev finds his way to the grandest stage of the mall Wrestlemania
17:18Ever since Rusev returned to the WWE back in May
17:21Essentially has been on a roll
17:23He's been in and around the Intercontinental Championship picture
17:25And right now Rusev having his way with Joaquin Wilde
17:30And of course we talk about that performance this past Saturday
17:34And you wonder how can that fuel him moving forward
17:36Well look, if you even go back to the old fashioned Donnybrook brawl that he had
17:39Clash in Paris against Sheamus
17:42You know when this man is fueled the fire burns bright
17:45And so if you want to make him mad I think you just poke the bear
17:48I don't think Wilde has done that and look how he's treating his opponent tonight
17:51Look how he treated his opponent last week
17:53Oh
17:54Joaquin Wilde certainly taking a beating throughout this matchup
17:57And we see Rusev dominate right here
17:59And certainly at least when it comes to record
18:01And still undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre does it again
18:05Knocking off Sami Zayn
18:07He certainly did
18:08And now you start to wonder what's going to happen at the Elimination Chamber
18:12Who will face Drew McIntyre at Wrestlemania
18:16And of course that added layer you go to the Royal Rumble match itself
18:19McIntyre having a hand in the elimination of one Cody Rhodes
18:22And I think when we get to Smackdown here in what 24 hours
18:28It's gonna be fireworks but I want to get back to Rusev because this is somebody who I would not want to be any general manager
18:34Across the board and having to deal with an angry Rusev
18:37I wouldn't want to be Nick Aldis I would not want to be Adam Pearce
18:41I would not want to be the interim general manager of NXT Rob Stone
18:44I would not want to have to deal with this individual being angry
18:48As Joaquin Wilde waking up a bit here out of wheelbarrow position
18:51Oh nice got him
18:52Got a cover
18:53Oh drops the leg as Joaquin Wilde here
18:56And now Wilde is starting to get back into this matchup
18:58And this is the bread and butter for Wilde
19:00He's got to stick he's got to move he's got to fly he's got to keep his foot on the gas
19:03And the door has now become open will he step through it
19:07We talk about how Wilde could game plan differently than last week
19:09Joaquin's there to pick up the pace
19:11Topic on Hilo to the outside
19:13And with those high flying maneuvers Vic that's how Joaquin Wilde separates himself
19:18And you're seeing there now adrenaline take over this man's body
19:21Because so much has been taken out of him in this matchup
19:23And ooh able to catch able to drop Rusev big DDT
19:27And of course Wilde very motivated by all the lucha libre representation this past saturday
19:31The rubble and there's another DDT there pops up into the cover looking for the upset
19:36Only gets two
19:37And that was a early kick out at two for Rusev
19:41Wilde was able to weather the storm for a moment
19:44Rusev right now is dazed he's confused high risk will it have high reward
19:49Let's see Wilde gonna soar through the air
19:52Strength right in the outstretched arms of the bulgarian brute
19:57And Wilde rolls him up he's got him
20:00Only two right there but Wilde keeping his foot on the gas
20:04As Joaquin looking to forge his own path to wrestlemania
20:07I don't know if that super kick got Rusev in the flying arm bar
20:10Chin or the throat but look at this
20:12Looking to flatten him out here Vic
20:14Rusev not close to those ropes
20:15Rusev trying to grasp his other hand to alleviate some of this pressure
20:19Rusev so close to the rope but not close enough
20:21Wilde has that wrist control Rusev trying to move here
20:24Trying to overpower Wilde and finally able to do so shoulders down
20:27Shifts his weight to Rusev nice job by Wilde
20:30As the smooth criminal trying to keep moving here
20:32And Vic you talk about that power and Rusev separates himself right there
20:38Oh no
20:40And that's gonna put him up right into the accolade
20:43Nowhere to go for Wilde and Rusev crushes once again
20:48Here is your winner by submission
20:57Rusev
20:58Well certainly pushing the limit here Joaquin Wilde
21:02One hell of an effort here Vic but the Bulgarian Brute does it one more time
21:08Yeah he certainly did and look strength on display
21:10We talk about power personify that's one way to break a hold
21:14And then this is one way to break a back
21:16No choice for Joaquin Wilde
21:19He just had to tap
21:22No Matska kick got right down to business
21:24And you can see that chip continue to grow on the shoulder of Rusev
21:28As we're around in the corner of the elimination chamber
21:30Rusev's ready to go back
21:32He wants to go to Las Vegas on the road to Wrestlemania
21:38The action rolls on here in the city of brotherly love
21:40As two powerful teams collide in a massive tag team showdown
21:44American Made is looking to rewrite the script
21:46After coming up short in their last four bouts against Alpha Academy
21:49Can Brutus and Julius Creed finally turn the tide and get back on track
21:53Or will the powerful porterhouse Otis and his high flying partner Akira Tozawa
21:58Continue their dominance with a fifth straight victory over the Creed's
22:02His tag team clash is coming up next on Main Event
22:32które
22:36inal
22:37aw
22:38w
22:43KONIEC
23:13Wadlin, Ohio.
23:14A city rich in history, passion, and championship moments will play host to a massive night
23:19of action on Monday Night Raw.
23:21And with just three weeks to go until WWE Elimination Chamber in Chicago.
23:27The road to one of WWE's most unforgiving structures begins next week.
23:32Qualifying matches for both the men's and women's Elimination Chamber matches, kick off
23:37next Monday on Raw.
23:38When are the right to step inside one of the most gruwcy environments in sports entertainment?
23:44Plus, Maxine Dupree goes head-to-head with her former mentor, Natalya.
23:49After Nati betrayed Maxine and cost her the women's Intercontinental Championship
23:53against Becky Lynch.
23:55Emoc преп FR. Will Maxine finally get payback?
24:00Or will Natalya prove she has upper hand over her former protege?
24:03Zobaczmy.
24:05And Championship Gold will be on the line in Cleveland
24:08when the nine-time World Tag Team Champions,
24:10The Usos, defend their titles against Alpha Academy
24:13next Monday on RAW.
24:15But before Otis and Akira Tozawa
24:17can focus on the biggest tag team opportunity
24:19of their careers,
24:20we'll have to get through American Main
24:22right here on Main Event.
24:27More tag team action on its way.
24:33The following is a tag team match
24:41kicking for one fall.
24:43Introducing first the team of Otis and Akira Tozawa,
24:50Alpha Academy.
24:53The momentum is rolling downhill.
24:55The corner has been turned.
24:57Your number one contenders for the World Tag Team Championship.
25:00And Vic, next Monday it's official.
25:02Otis and Tozawa get their opportunity against The Usos.
25:06We started the night talking about the SmackDown Tag Team Division
25:09and what would be next.
25:10Everyone trying to earn an opportunity at some gold.
25:13This duo did just that.
25:15Now they are just one win away from finally crowning themselves
25:20champions on Monday Night RAW.
25:23As the Elimination Chamber is presented by DoorDash,
25:29the official on-demand delivery platform of WWE.
25:33And you gotta think for their opponents tonight,
25:38this is a big matchup too,
25:39because if you can defeat the number one contenders,
25:41you might find yourself in contention for those championships down the line.
25:54And their opponents, accompanied by Ivy Nile,
25:58Julius and Brutus Creed, American made!
26:05Well, it's certainly a familiar rival and a foe.
26:08The opposition here as Julius and Brutus Creed look to be those disruptors
26:11and play spoilers right here tonight on YouTube.
26:14Yeah, this is definitely a rivalry renewed here tonight.
26:18Certainly a lot of history between these two teams.
26:20Of course, several matchups on main event over the last couple of years,
26:24and even just two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW,
26:27where Otis and Tozawa earned that opportunity to face Jimmy and James.
26:30Yeah, and I wanna bring up something, you know,
26:32the obvious that we're seeing here ringside,
26:35because you see Ivy Nile, someone who we do not see, is Maxine Dupree.
26:40And I know Maxine right now is putting in some extra work,
26:42because this Monday night on RAW in Cleveland,
26:45she will go up against the woman who, can't argue,
26:49cost her the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship, that being Nat.
26:54And of course, we talk about a big night here for Otis and Tozawa this coming Monday.
26:58For all of Alpha Academy, could be a banner evening in Cleveland.
27:01Could very well be, and I mean, I can imagine what the party would be like on East 9th.
27:06But, gotta win.
27:08Well Vic, we talked about how big of a moment it potentially could be this coming Monday,
27:11but last Monday, earning that number one contender opportunity,
27:14how fulfilling was that for Otis and Tozawa?
27:16I think when you have been a duo for so long, like these two have been,
27:20and they have had the highs, they have had the lows, they have had the betrayals,
27:23they've had everything you can imagine done to them,
27:26this has to be a sense of fulfillment for them.
27:30Now, as we're seeing this matchup, we all know the history of Otis in terms of being an amateur.
27:35We also know that his opposition in Julius Creed is a former All-ACC member at Duke University.
27:41I don't necessarily know if Julius wants to try and, as you heard, out-wrestle Otis.
27:47Certainly a bit of a weight differential right here, but both heavyweights essentially,
27:50as you talk about the amateur ranks.
27:52But taking a look at that potential opportunity this coming Monday,
27:55that World Tag Team Championship matchup, Vic, can the Alpha Academy actually beat these?
28:01Yes, anyone can win on any given day.
28:03I mean, that's the beauty of what the WWE is.
28:06Whether it's Raw, whether it's NXT, whether it's SmackDown, it's a year of opportunity.
28:12There's something Booker T has said, time in and time out on NXT over and over again.
28:16So, yes, anyone can be beaten on any given night.
28:20As Otis feeling that confident right here, of course, will be a tall task.
28:23Jimmy and Jay form a nine-time World Tag Team Champion.
28:25I didn't say it would be easy.
28:27It's definitely going to be tough, but it's possible.
28:29Flying through the air right here.
28:30Of course, you can't discount Otis, of course, a former World Tag Team Champion.
28:34And at the time, someone very familiar now with American Maiden, Chad Gaten.
28:38And you know what, that also may play into something as well.
28:43You talk about the personal feelings when you're Otis.
28:46You want to get back to the top of the mountain.
28:48We talked about the Motor City Machine Guns.
28:49They came in, a lot of success, a lot of success over the world.
28:52They...
28:53No! No!
28:55Look at Otis putting on the brakes.
28:57As Tozawa's up, and the flying fillet takes out American Maiden.
29:01I was wondering if you were going to give a meat pun.
29:03Listen, these guys are starting to cook right here, Vic.
29:05You can see the confidence growing before our very eyes.
29:09Certainly can.
29:10They're gonna need all the confidence in the world Monday.
29:12And you would hope that they can continue that momentum here.
29:15But I'll ask you this question.
29:17What if they fall short?
29:19What if they pick up an L here tonight?
29:22You don't want to go into a championship opportunity with the world watching on
29:26Netflix having been on your back foot for the last few days.
29:30That will certainly create a lot more questions than we have answers.
29:32And also, as you pointed out earlier, to Julius and Brutus Creed,
29:35could certainly turn their entire careers around.
29:37Well, I don't think Tozawa saw, but Julius, I believe, made the tag.
29:42And the referee apparently said, no, I thought he reached out.
29:45He must have just missed his brother.
29:47Great job by our official.
29:49That time the tag is finally made.
29:51And to be honest, they're lucky they didn't just get disqualified.
29:55Referee using his own thought process here, using his own jurisdiction.
29:59It's been all that butter coffee.
30:01As right now, Julius Creed unloading right here.
30:04And Vic, we talked about that tag team cohesion earlier with the machine guns.
30:07You take a look at American Made.
30:08They're brothers.
30:09Doesn't get much better than that.
30:10It doesn't.
30:11And look, they had a lot of success in NXT, former champions.
30:14They haven't been able to have that success translate on Raw or SmackDown.
30:19But as I mentioned with their opponents, all it takes is three seconds to change a life change.
30:24And Brutus Creed, of course.
30:26Nice fireman's carry.
30:27Another top amateur wrestler as well throughout the state of Ohio.
30:30And right now, Brutus unloading.
30:32And I mean, Vic, right now, talk about impressive.
30:34How impressive is that mullet?
30:35Brutus Creed.
30:36I do not give fashion tips.
30:37That's not my part of what I like to do.
30:39What do you think about that hairstyle?
30:41It's certainly next level right there.
30:43But talking about next level, we look at Alpha Academy.
30:45How they can draw for Maxine Dupree.
30:47Taking a look at American Made.
30:48Look at this double team.
30:50Backstabber, fall away, suplex combo.
30:53Let's see if they look to capitalize right now.
30:56You see Tozawa's in a lot of pain.
30:58Ivy Nile giving him an earful.
31:00And could this be that moment?
31:02I mean, I don't know if I would consider this an upset.
31:05But seeing recent results, I would have to say yes.
31:08This would be an upset tonight if the Creed's were victorious.
31:11Certainly two teams not going in the same direction at the moment.
31:14And look at the double teams right here.
31:15Brutus Creed dropped down.
31:16Nice gut match.
31:17Right on Tozawa.
31:18Here we go into the cover.
31:19Only gets two.
31:20But again, we were talking about how Alpha Academy can draw for Maxine Dupree.
31:23How did Brutus and Julius essentially draw from what they saw this past Saturday?
31:26Ivy Nile powerhouse in her third Royal Rumble appearance.
31:29I think it just motivates you.
31:30And that's something we've talked about here a few times is the motivation.
31:34Goes on the outside pushing you to be better.
31:37Iron sharpens iron, so to speak.
31:39But wait a minute.
31:40Pivotal point in the match.
31:41Tozawa's a clear path.
31:42Julius.
31:43And Julius derails the momentum.
31:46And Brutus looks to capitalize now.
31:48Brutus, smash.
31:49And you have to give it to American Made.
31:51Certainly a heads up move by the Creed Brothers.
31:53Certainly was.
31:54And look, as we've talked about the success, they've had it.
31:56Now they're trying to translate it.
31:57It's a process.
31:59Of course, we talk about the Creed Brothers, former NXT Tag Team Champions.
32:02The winners, the 2022 Dusty Cup.
32:05Vic, they've been to the promised land before.
32:07They're looking to do it again at the highest level.
32:08They certainly are.
32:09And look, that is what I think is so frustrating for them.
32:12Because they have been so advanced in everything they've done since the beginning.
32:16They were always top of the line.
32:18They were always top tier.
32:20Whether it was ACC, NCAA, NXT, whatever letters you wanna throw out.
32:26But now, I don't wanna say it's an even playing field because of the learning curve.
32:31They're still trying to learn.
32:32They're still trying to navigate their way through some rough waters.
32:35They were thrown to the deep end on Monday Night Raw.
32:37Nice counter.
32:38And right now Tozawa.
32:40Looking at that clear path once again.
32:44Otis still on the outside.
32:46Listen to the WWE Universe right now.
32:49Ivy a look of concern, but there he is.
32:52Otis ready to get back into the fight.
32:55The stamina monster scratching and clawing, and there's the tag.
32:58And here comes the Powerful Porterhouse.
33:00Running right through Julius.
33:02As Otis, former Money in the Bank winner.
33:05We talk about winning the tag titles in the past.
33:07He wants to get back there once again.
33:09Whoa.
33:10Otis starting to roll.
33:11Bam.
33:12Down goes Brutus.
33:13And it's an Otis destruction right here on Main Event.
33:18Just running right through both Creed Brothers.
33:21And Otis looking to turn the corner right now.
33:26We talk about them having three straight tag team victories.
33:29Those knees are starting to knock.
33:32I don't know if Ivy helped Brutus or Brutus was able to get out of the way on his own.
33:37Either way.
33:38Might have been an assist.
33:39Julius looks to pick up the pieces and capitalize.
33:42Only gets two there.
33:44As Otis back up on his feet.
33:46Julius.
33:47Ooh.
33:48Big D.
33:49Alpha Academy can ill afford.
33:51No way.
33:52Northern Line suplex floats over.
33:54Julius into the cover.
33:55Unreal power.
33:56I know it didn't get the victory.
33:58I know it wasn't a three count.
33:59But that was unbelievable power from Julius Creed.
34:03Showing you the flashes of what the Creed Brothers can bring to the table.
34:06How they can essentially rise right to the top of the tag team ranks on Monday Night Raw.
34:10Julius, he's all the way up top.
34:12Looks to float through the air.
34:14Goes for the moonsault.
34:15Otis moves out of the way.
34:17And now take a look at the eyes of the powerful porterhouse.
34:20No.
34:21He's locked in.
34:22There's the tag to Tozawa.
34:24Again, Tozawa is a legal superstar for his team.
34:27Otis Mania running wild here on main event.
34:30Otis.
34:31Little caterpillar action.
34:35Bam.
34:36Again, referee using his discretion in this matchup.
34:39Tozawa indeed the legal man.
34:41He's up.
34:42And the flag fillet.
34:45With the big senta.
34:47And keep the Alpha Academy train rolling on main event.
34:51Here are your winners.
34:53Alpha Academy.
34:57Impressive victory right here, Vic.
35:00Just days before the biggest opportunity of their careers.
35:03And they get the job done here on YouTube.
35:05Well now you start thinking about Monday night.
35:07You think about the tag team championship opportunity.
35:09You think about the women's intercontinental champ.
35:13Former intercontinental champion.
35:14Her opportunity to get a little bit of payback, so to speak.
35:17And when you think about these three.
35:20Are they close to becoming the Alphas on Monday Night Raw.
35:25That's how we saw him secure the number one contender opportunity.
35:28Just two weeks ago.
35:29And now Tozawa.
35:31Otis with the biggest fight of their life this coming Monday.
35:35Gonna be the Alpha Academy's time.
35:37As world tag team champions.
