01:10WELCOME
01:11In just two days, we head to Chicago for The Elimination Chamber and The Last Major Stop on The Road
01:16to WrestleMania.
01:18Welcome to Main Event.
01:36.
01:36.
01:36.
01:36.
01:36.
01:36.
01:43.
01:43.
01:50KONIEC!
02:15And you talk about WrestleMania, this man had his own WrestleMania moment last year.
02:21Things didn't go the way he had hoped, but he was on the grandest stage of them all.
02:26And if you know Ray Phoenix, you know he wants to fly high one more time at WrestleMania.
02:32You officially welcome in Blake Howard alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph.
02:36Big week all around WWE.
02:38I mean, huge week, you go back to Monday and
02:40the retirement of AJ Styles, a huge Hall of Fame announcement by none other than The Undertaker.
02:45And then, of course, everything that transpired this past Tuesday on NXT.
02:52.
03:11Accompanied by Berthold from Monterrey, Mexico.
03:15Wanging at 205 pounds.
03:18He is one half of Los Garza on him!
03:24Well, Vic, speaking of luchadores, one half of Los Garza certainly makes acclaim for
03:28one of the top sensations from south of the board.
03:31I mean, it's hard to argue everything that he's done over the last six, seven,
03:34eight months, not just in the WWE, but also in AAA.
03:37This is someone who has big dreams, big expectations, and he's trying to hit that
03:43stride, and no better time to hit your stride than when you're on the road to WrestleMania.
03:48Of course, tomorrow, Friday night SmackDown, our final stop before the Elimination Chamber,
03:53and then Saturday in Chicago.
03:55And Vic, we're still trying to figure out what's in the box.
03:57I have no idea.
03:58I'm done speculating.
03:59I can't wait to see what exactly is in the box.
04:01And that brings me to our general manager.
04:03I mean, Adam Pearce, Nick Aldis, trying to get everything under control.
04:06What is in the box?
04:07You talk about the interim general manager on NXT, Rob Stone.
04:10He's been so busy, had to build a loft at his house just to get work done.
04:13And he's been making some huge decisions.
04:16All three GMs right now, they're on their own path to WrestleMania weekend,
04:20and all three doing a great job.
04:21You, of course, mentioned Nick Aldis, the general manager of Friday night SmackDown.
04:25Of course, recently on SmackDown, Phoenix stood up for himself against none other than
04:28Trick Williams.
04:29He certainly did.
04:30And Trick Williams, a man who in 48 hours could have his life changed if he's able to be victorious
04:34inside the Elimination Chamber.
04:36He'll go from the Stand and Deliver main event a year ago to a championship main event match at
04:41WrestleMania, nice distraction by Berto on the outside.
04:44We saw the numbers game of Los Garza effective for a bit last week against the Wyatt Six.
04:49But now this puts Angel right in control and once again gripping those pants off.
04:53Here we go into the cover.
04:54Hooks that outside leg, only two.
04:57And of course, we talked about last week, Vic,
04:59Los Garza had their hands majorly full with the Wyatt Six.
05:02Well, they certainly did.
05:02I think anybody would have their hands full with the Wyatt Six,
05:05especially the MFTs, the tag team division.
05:07Going back to general manager, Nick Aldis.
05:10Oh, come on, ref.
05:12The official distracted, Berto, taking full advantage.
05:17And that's what the numbers advantage can do for an individual.
05:21And Angel can certainly play the numbers advantage like the best of them.
05:24We talk about being on the road.
05:26Another cover.
05:26Here we go into the cover.
05:27Hooks the outside leg.
05:28Oh, right on the cusp there for Angel.
05:30But of course, we're talking about road to WrestleMania building that momentum, Vic.
05:34How can tonight serve as a reset for Los Garza?
05:36Well, well, wait a minute.
05:37Oh, lifting up the mask there, nearly halfway off.
05:40Talk about disrespect.
05:42And you know, Angel, Berto, they know exactly what that mask means.
05:47It's tradition.
05:48It's Lucha Libre.
05:49Paying homage at some point to some family members, heroes of the past.
05:55I mean, that's just cut in a corner and bam, Rey Fenix making him pay.
05:59Certainly getting under the skin of Rey Fenix right now.
06:01Fenix, who is proving that he can hang with the best on Friday Night SmackDown.
06:06I don't know if you noticed this, Blake, but Rey adjusted his mask to get it back on.
06:10And it didn't waste any time.
06:11Huge moonsault.
06:12From the top into the cover.
06:15Probably gets two right there.
06:16I love fixing that mask.
06:16It's gonna help Angel get back into this matchup.
06:19But you were asking a question before.
06:21Talking about Rey Fenix obviously being able to hang with the best.
06:23We've seen him answer the open challenge of Carmelo Hayes for the United States Championship.
06:27Will he take an advantage of those types of opportunities?
06:29He certainly has.
06:30And that's the goal, right?
06:31It doesn't matter what brand you're on.
06:33It's all about taking full advantage of those opportunities.
06:36As Fenix coming back in.
06:37Got caught.
06:38Superkick under the jaw.
06:39Look at this.
06:41Back and forth we go with a series of superkicks.
06:43Both superstars down right now.
06:45Vic, of course, this one's a rematch from back in the fall.
06:47Both superstars very familiar with one another.
06:50Certainly are.
06:51And this is kind of a pivotal point of this matchup right now.
06:53for both these individuals, both these superstars.
06:56Who's able to get to their feet first?
06:58That may be the deciding factor in this matchup.
07:01Both superstars scratching and clawing right now.
07:03And of course, our fields are officially set for Saturday in both chambers.
07:07Vic, you gotta wonder who has that inside track.
07:08I don't think there is an inside track when you enter inside a structure like
07:12the Elimination Chamber.
07:14All the steel, all the chain, everything that goes through it.
07:18I mean, I get to work with Booker T every single Tuesday.
07:20He was part of the first ever Elimination Chamber.
07:22And he said he changed his life and his career in that matchup.
07:26And by the way, he didn't win.
07:27That was Shawn Michaels.
07:28The series of strikes right here.
07:29Got caught.
07:30Shawn Michaels going for the superkick for Ray Phoenix.
07:32And Angel coming right back the other way.
07:34And this goes back to what you said about these two just knowing each other so well.
07:37It's almost trying to one-up.
07:38Nice double underhook.
07:39Give that backbreaker.
07:40Look at that variation right there by Angel into the cover.
07:43Hooks the outside leg.
07:44Again, a near fall.
07:47Is Angel looking to keep his foot on the gas right now?
07:49Of course, we talked about the familiarity in singles competition.
07:52Flos Garza did take on Ray Phoenix and another chamber qualifier in Javon Evans
07:56recently as well on Friday Night SmackDown.
07:57That is amazing to see what Javon Evans and Trigley both have done.
08:01Inside cradle by Phoenix.
08:03In a short period of time.
08:05And one of those two could find themselves in a championship matchup at WrestleMania.
08:10But look at Angel.
08:12In a backpack position.
08:14Almost a glory special.
08:15Calling a shot like Babe Ruth.
08:17Drops him out into the cover for Angel.
08:19But did not hit a home run.
08:21And you see that frustration setting in, Vic.
08:23Of course, you mentioned the phenomenal AJ Styles.
08:25These two high flyers take a lot from the future Hall of Famer throughout their careers.
08:30Certainly do.
08:30Talk about other Hall of Famers.
08:31You think about Rey Mysterio.
08:33You think about Eddie Guerrero.
08:34You think about Mil Mascaris.
08:36You know, the list goes on and on.
08:38But these two are trying to redefine what it means now.
08:43And continue to push forward all those legacies.
08:46And this is a nice submission.
08:48Looking almost for a half crab right there is Angel.
08:51Do you notice how Angel had the thigh opposed to having the ankle applying more pressure.
08:57Pulling at those muscles even more.
08:59Trying to weaken the legs.
09:00Which would hinder the high flying ability of Phoenix.
09:03Second generation superstar there is Angel.
09:05Look at Phoenix slip out the back.
09:07And they step up in Seguri.
09:08That's going to stun Angel.
09:09I think it caught him in his shoulders.
09:11Maybe his lower back.
09:13But take a look at the power.
09:14Right in the position.
09:15Oh, and sits out with the power bomb.
09:17Will it be enough?
09:18And Phoenix.
09:20Right on the cusp.
09:21Referee Vicky Diarico says it's only two.
09:23You saw Berto on the outside pumping his fist that this matchup is going to continue.
09:27But what is it going to take to keep the other down?
09:30Of course, Ray Phoenix, Vic, as he pointed out.
09:32Essentially came in, house of fire to the WWE, debuting at WrestleMania last year.
09:37And now in a position where he looks to get right back to the promised land in Vegas one more
09:41time.
09:43We'd love to have a victory at WrestleMania.
09:46Has now going to the top.
09:47And Phoenix looking to run.
09:49Berto.
09:50Wait a minute.
09:51It's a strike for Berto.
09:51Angel wants to take it down with a roll up.
09:54And Phoenix able to hang on.
09:57Get to the deep borders of this one.
09:58As Phoenix creates some separation once again.
10:02And now Ray Phoenix, he's at home on the top, Vic.
10:05And there's one for Angel.
10:08Phoenix starting to quicken the pace.
10:10Looking to fly.
10:11One more time.
10:14He wants to return to WrestleMania indeed.
10:16There's the frog splash into the cover.
10:19And Phoenix rises from the ashes to victory.
10:23Here is your winner, Ray Phoenix.
10:29Vic, we talked about the familiarity with one another.
10:31No Mexican muscle buster, no Phoenix driver here.
10:34But Ray Phoenix speaks deeper in the playbook and comes out with the victory.
10:37He certainly did.
10:38And look, Ray Phoenix had not really deal with his opponent, but
10:40also had to deal with his tag team partner on the outside.
10:42Berto was able to wipe out both men.
10:45And then you see the height.
10:46You see the landing with pinpoint precision.
10:50Ray Phoenix picks up a victory on main event.
10:53It defeats Angel able to overcome the numbers game of Los Garza.
10:57And at the right time, Ray Phoenix picking up some momentum right here on the road to WrestleMania.
11:07Ray Phoenix sets the tone with an electric victory to kick things off on main event.
11:11And the momentum keeps rolling.
11:13Coming up, the spotlight shifts to the tag team division when OTM collides with American Made.
11:17Bronco, Nima, and Lucian Price are still searching for their first main event win.
11:21But standing in their way is a duo built on power, precision, and punishment.
11:25Will OTM finally break through?
11:27Or will American Made remind everyone exactly why they're one of the most dangerous teams in WWE?
11:32We're about to find out next on Main Event.
11:41Everyone's got to tell.
11:49WrestleMania Vegas.
11:51It's anyone's game.
12:10Rlive!
12:15WrestleMania!
12:18You know!
12:22Rrires!
12:24R fibers!
12:29Rrr!
12:33KONIEC!
13:00WALK OUT LEGENDARY.
13:09Chicago, brace yourself.
13:11The most unforgiving structure in WWE
13:13comes to the Windy City this Saturday, February 28th
13:16as Elimination Chamber takes over the United Center
13:19and marks WWE's first premium live event
13:21in this iconic arena in more than three decades.
13:24And the stakes couldn't be higher.
13:28Six of WWE's best female superstars, Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Strett,
13:33Alexa Bliss, Raquel Rodriguez, Uska, and Kiana James
13:37will square off inside the dreaded Elimination Chamber.
13:40But only one will survive.
13:42And punch your ticket to a championship opportunity
13:44on the grandest stage of them all in Las Vegas this April.
13:50And Chicago is about to erupt.
13:53CF Punk returns home with the World Heavyweight Championship
13:56on the line as the Second City Saint defends his title
13:59against the Judgment Day's Finn Balor.
14:01A personal rivalry, a hostile environment,
14:04and everything at stake.
14:06The winner earns a spot in the main event of WrestleMania
14:08where the OTC Roman Reigns awaits.
14:14That's not the only title up for grabs this Saturday in Chicago.
14:18AJ Lee looks to settle a score of her own
14:20when AJ challenges the man Becky Lynch
14:22for the Women's Intercontinental Championship
14:25in what promises to be an emotional and explosive showdown.
14:31And finally, it's going to be an all-out war
14:34when these six superstars enter the chamber.
14:37The match starts with two superstars in the ring
14:39and the other four competitors enclosed in their respective pods.
14:42at equally timed intervals.
14:44A pod door will open,
14:45allowing another competitor to join the chaos.
14:47This process continues until all pods are empty.
14:50The last superstar remaining will be the winner
14:53and earn the right to challenge Drew McIntyre
14:55for the undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania.
15:03Welcome back to main event.
15:18The following is a tag team match
15:22with the team of Julius and Brutus Creed, American Made.
15:35We're set for tag team action here with the Brothers Creed.
15:37Vic, who's certainly been making a recent push
15:39in the Raw tag team race.
15:41They certainly have.
15:42And right now, you take a look at that tag team division
15:45on Monday Night Raw.
15:46It's cloudy.
15:47It's cluttered.
15:48Which team is going to start to separate themselves?
15:51Who is going to stand out in championship contention?
15:54Who will be the next team to challenge the world tag team champions?
15:59The Usos.
16:00Certainly look to find that out right here.
16:02Could be the Brothers Creed.
16:03They've had some recent opportunities to get a title shot.
16:11As Elimination Chamber is presented by DoorDash,
16:14the official on-demand delivery platform of WWE.
16:19Can't Go Dash brought the box?
16:21Yeah, why not?
16:25Love me some Go Dash.
16:26How do you mind?
16:28How do you mind?
16:31How do you mind?
16:33How do you mind?
16:35Yo!
16:38And our opponents, the team of Lucian Price and Bronco Neymar,
16:46Pro-T-M!
16:49Well Vic, this is a tag team both of us very familiar with from down in NXT.
16:53Two of the baddest and most intimidating bruisers in all of the WWE.
16:57Back once again on main event and look to turn some heads one more time.
17:00You know, we talked about Skylar Ray last week.
17:03I started to think about the tag team division.
17:05I just talked about it's clouded, it's cluttered, who's going to separate themselves.
17:08I think if you take outside the box thinking right now, OTM is the team to watch this year in
17:15the WWE.
17:16You just take a look at what they have, you take a look at the physical attributes,
17:19you see how they've grown, they've already had a lot of roller coasters of emotions.
17:23A lot of ups, a lot of downs in their time in NXT.
17:27They're looking to really stand up and stand out here tonight.
17:29And they can knock off a team that's been in championship contention on Monday Night Raw.
17:32A team that has held the NXT tag team titles at one point.
17:36This would be a statement win for OTM.
17:39Almost looking at the evolution of the NXT tag team division right here.
17:42That's a good point.
17:42Right to OTM.
17:44And they're talking about the NXT tag team division.
17:46They had a recent opportunity.
17:47How close were OTM to becoming NXT tag team champions?
17:50Certainly, we're very close.
17:51I'm sure they'll have another opportunity down the line because the tag team division,
17:54even in NXT has a, well, a different vibe after what happened on Tuesday night.
17:59And I'm sure they're trying to fix those gentlemen as soon as they can.
18:02for everything they've gone through over the last several months.
18:05But take a look at Brutus.
18:08Amateur standout, Brutus Creed manhandling Lucien Price right now.
18:11How often do we see Lucien Price manhandled like this?
18:13Not very often.
18:14When you talk about amateur background, Brutus Creed had a dominating record in the NCAA.
18:18I don't believe he lost in his senior season.
18:21His brother on the other side, also ACC standout at Duke.
18:25But they're in there with two guys that just like to ground and pound.
18:30Time for a G-Ride from Bronco Nima.
18:33Lucien Price setting up.
18:35Julius Creed here, and OTM going to work here on Main Event.
18:39It's not often you hear Brutus screaming in agony.
18:42But yeah, you're right, OTM is in control of this matchup.
18:45This is what they've been looking to do.
18:47This is the impact, the imprint they're looking to make in the tag team division.
18:51And how about this?
18:52How often have you seen Brutus just tossed?
18:55Into the cover.
18:56And Bronco Nima manhandling Brutus Creed right now.
18:59Vic, back in 2025 we saw OTM take a bit of a hiatus.
19:02Then they returned late last year.
19:04How much growth have you seen in this book?
19:05I think they've had a lot of growth.
19:07I mean, see where they're at right now here on Main Event.
19:09Everything they've done in NXT and the way they're going about it.
19:12Standing next to Joe Hendry, realizing they needed to change their own mentality to succeed.
19:17They looked at things a lot differently.
19:19They had their eyes wide open, so to speak, with everything that goes on in the locker room.
19:23Bronco Nima is pure power.
19:25Lucian Price is pure aggression.
19:26But the Creed's, they're brothers.
19:29They know exactly what to do.
19:31They know what each other's thinking.
19:32And the door now has been open for the Brothers Creed American Made.
19:36Olympic slam there by Julius Creed as we saw in our first matchup with that numbers game from Los Garza.
19:40Starting to come out here and benefit American Made as Julius makes the tag back into Brutus.
19:45And Vic, we've seen some recent action from American Made here on Main Event.
19:48It's like the Alpha Academy, the LWO.
19:51Certainly trying to test themselves as much as possible.
19:53I think you have to.
19:53And the same thing with OTM.
19:55This is a test for OTM.
19:56Indeed.
19:56I mean, this is, we used it in the opening match.
19:58This is an opportunity for both these teams.
20:00We're on the road to WrestleMania.
20:01The Elimination Chambers in 48 hours in Chicago.
20:05Everybody right now needs to do their best to stand out for all the GMs across the WWE.
20:11Nice combination.
20:12First that backstabber, then that fall away slam.
20:16Neem is in trouble.
20:17Going to the cover.
20:18Julius hooks the outside leg.
20:19You talked about OTM's growth.
20:22You're seeing the growth of American Made.
20:25You just saw Julius Creed kind of take a deep breath, kind of settle back into this matchup.
20:30Instead of quickly moving and trying to make a tag.
20:32He's slowing the pace.
20:34You mentioned who's next to challenge the Usos for the World Tag Team Championships.
20:38Of course, we saw American Made in the number one contender's opportunity recently on Monday Night Raw.
20:42Are the creeds getting closer to realizing their goals?
20:46I think they gotta win, right?
20:48I mean, they've been there, yes.
20:50I think they're inching closer and closer every single time.
20:53But at the end of the day, they haven't been able to get over a certain hump.
20:57What is that gonna take?
20:58I don't necessarily know.
20:59Only they do.
21:00But look at this.
21:01The power so close to the tag.
21:02Paco Nima trying to get over the hump to make the tag.
21:04And Julius with a counter only getting two.
21:06And then right back.
21:08Oh!
21:09Nasty landing.
21:10Tags me.
21:11And here comes Lucian Price.
21:13And Julius couldn't get to his brother.
21:14Couldn't tag in Brutus.
21:16Brutus in there illegally.
21:17Julius is the legal man.
21:19Lucian don't give a damn who's legal.
21:20He's taking out everyone.
21:22That animalistic like energy of Lucian Price.
21:24Looking to unleash.
21:26Here on Brutus Creed.
21:28Lucian Price former standout division one football.
21:31Along with Bronco Nima.
21:33These guys go way back on the west coast.
21:35Tag made.
21:36Once again.
21:37And OTM starting to turn the corner here Vic.
21:40OTM could be closing in.
21:41And take a look at this.
21:43Tag team continuity.
21:44Bronco legal.
21:45Big double team.
21:46Bronco Nima.
21:47Into the cover.
21:48Oh!
21:48And Brutus breaks it up at the last moment.
21:51That was heads up by Brutus.
21:52To realize what was going on.
21:53To break up the count.
21:54To continue this match up.
21:56As Brutus now.
21:57In the wrong part of town.
21:58Tag made once again to Lucian Price.
22:00Again Brutus is not the legal member for his team.
22:02Oh!
22:03Just pounced Nima though.
22:04Up.
22:04Over and out.
22:05Needs to beware of Lucian.
22:07And now Price in there with Brutus.
22:09But keep an eye on Julius.
22:10Who sidesteps Lucian Price there.
22:13Now Julius had some time to get his wits back about him.
22:15And now talking to the official.
22:17There's that numbers game playing a role.
22:20And Julius Creed now.
22:21Gonna take Lucian.
22:22Listen to that.
22:23Did you hear that?
22:24Oh my goodness.
22:25As Julius now.
22:27Tag made to Brutus.
22:29We've seen this in the past.
22:30Here comes step one.
22:33Superplex from the top and Brutus.
22:35With the moonsault from upstairs.
22:37And that is all the Creed's need.
