00:43KONIEC
01:09Off the heels of Elimination Chamber, major championship opportunities were gained as we hit the final leg on the road
01:16to WrestleMania.
01:18Welcome to Main Event.
01:32The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, accompanied by Nathan Frazier, is one half of Fraxium, from
01:43Madrid, Axiom!
01:46Getting the action started tonight on YouTube with the superstars who had singles and tag team success in the WWE,
01:53but still looking for his first WrestleMania moment.
01:57As you walk to the end, Blake Howard alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph, big week here for NXT.
02:03It was a huge week for NXT, it's been a huge week for a lot of superstars.
02:06As you alluded to, we are on the road to WrestleMania, championship opportunities were gained.
02:13Huge championship match though tomorrow on SmackDown.
02:17It's a big week in the WWE.
02:32And his opponent, from Stone Mountain, Georgia, weighing in at 225 pounds, Apollo Crews!
02:45He shift gears with the former Intercontinental and United States Champion.
02:49He's chiseled out of granite, and he's looking for a spark on the road to WrestleMania.
02:53He is, and I know Apollo is gonna end up watching this at some point.
02:57And I don't mean this in a negative way, but I think Apollo Crews has finally woken up.
03:01I know he's had championship success.
03:04He's had his WrestleMania moments.
03:06But he doesn't come out here, he's not pandering, he's not smiling.
03:09He knows that at this juncture of his career, it's got to be about business inside the squared circle.
03:16And that is what I think the light switch has finally gone.
03:19The light bulb has finally turned on for Apollo Crews.
03:21Now it's about putting the right foot forward and starting to pick up some victories,
03:25which in turn, you'd be picking up momentum.
03:28Huge opportunity for both these superstars to pick up some momentum.
03:30And Vic, last Friday on SmackDown, we saw both of these men quite curious to find out what was in
03:35the box.
03:35Certainly did, and we all found out what was in the box in Chicago at Elimination Chamber.
03:40And unfortunately for Dirty Dominic Mysterio, he found out the hard way, so to speak, this past Monday on Raw.
03:48Certainly shaking things up in the Intercontinental Championship Division to start off the week.
03:52As Apollo Crews looks to control the pace right now.
03:55And Vic, you talk about Apollo being back.
03:57Does he seem all the way back since returning from injury?
03:59I think he's getting there.
04:00And again, I don't want to take away from what the man has done in his career,
04:03but this is someone who has started to have his eyes open, so to speak.
04:08You're seeing more of a physical style.
04:09You're seeing more of a, I don't want to say more action out of the man.
04:14But he's not looking to the crowd.
04:15He's not worried about his opponent.
04:17He's worried about punishing the opposition.
04:19He's worried about picking up the wind.
04:20And that is what I think is the biggest thing for Apollo Crews.
04:23That's returning. See right there?
04:24Stepped out of the way.
04:26Going right back in right now.
04:27He's using his mind more than his muscle.
04:30Always seems to have that cool demeanor.
04:31Wonder how he always keeps that positive mental attitude in check.
04:35As Axiom right now maybe stumbles a bit.
04:37And there it is.
04:38Typically, if you go back to Apollo Crews' career, he would have done all that.
04:41And then he would have tried to hit a drop kick.
04:43He would have tried to get an ooh and ah moment.
04:45No, he ran Axiom over.
04:47He right now, what I call a de-cleater.
04:49Think about football.
04:50When a receiver comes over the middle of the field, that linebacker smacks him right in the mouth.
04:54That is what Apollo Crews is changing since his return.
04:56Looking laser focused right here as Axiom.
04:59Trying to counter the offense.
05:00Nice kick.
05:01Right now of Apollo Crews.
05:03Talked about at the top.
05:04Axiom looking for his first Wrestlemania moment.
05:06Of course, a part of stand and deliver last year.
05:08Didn't get the best results.
05:10As Apollo creates some separation right here.
05:13And again, you talk about Axiom wanting his moment.
05:16Apollo Crews wants another Wrestlemania moment.
05:19Again, yes, he has won championships on the grandest stage of them all.
05:22But that just is what every superstar in the locker room, every superstar in NXT.
05:27They drive.
05:28It drives them to have that moment.
05:30That is what they feed off of this time of the year.
05:33And of course, win that US Championship back at WrestleMania 37.
05:37As Apollo sends Axiom there right to the turnbuckle.
05:40See Axiom grab his left shoulder, by the way.
05:42I don't know if he came down awkwardly or bouncing off that turnbuckle.
05:46That's something to watch for the rest of this matchup.
05:47As Axiom now in a very prone position.
05:50Look at the power and strength here of Apollo.
05:54As Crews, that blood rushing right to the head of Axiom.
05:57You see the Wrestlemania side in the background here.
06:00Oh.
06:01Whoa.
06:02And the deadlift up and over.
06:04And here we go into the cover.
06:05Hooks the outside leg.
06:07And Apollo right on the doorstep.
06:08And again, for Apollo Crews, at that moment he would have smiled.
06:11He would have looked around.
06:12He went right for the cover.
06:14That killer instinct.
06:15Maybe that's a better way of putting it for Apollo Crews at this stage of the game.
06:1917 years as a professional.
06:21This hit his 10-year mark here in the WWE.
06:24Looking locked in right now as Apollo Crews.
06:27Someone else from Stone Mountain, Georgia,
06:29that used to throw a short arm clothesline like that.
06:30Apollo Crews are now is rocking.
06:32Nathan Frazier on the outside.
06:34Look a whirl on his face.
06:36And of course, these two were talking about looking for some opportunities.
06:39But Vic, you mentioned it.
06:40Huge opportunity comeback in just 24 hours for the WWE Undisputed Championship.
06:45Certainly Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes,
06:47everything that Drew McIntyre did at Elimination Chamber.
06:50Drew to the ire, the general manager, Nick Aldis.
06:52You gotta also start to believe what is Randy Orton thinking?
06:57The man who won the Men's Elimination Chamber.
06:59Going into the cover, hooks the outside leg, Apollo.
07:01Again, only two stays right on the attack.
07:03But again, Vic, that begs the question,
07:05who's ready for the Viper come Las Vegas?
07:08That's a great question.
07:09Time will tell, right?
07:11Who is the Viper ready for?
07:14I mean, right now, you think about Vegas, you can use all the analogies of pushing
07:18your chips in the middle.
07:19Randy Orton is gonna be laser focused on what happens this Friday.
07:23We know the voices in this head might be saying things about Aleister Black.
07:26They might be talking about Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes.
07:29We shall find out what unfolds on the road to WrestleMania as Axiom right now.
07:33Nice counter, now trying to guillotine choke.
07:36Let's see if Apollo can count.
07:38Look at the power and strength here.
07:40Axiom slips out the back and connects with a drop kick.
07:44Both superstars down right now.
07:46Of course, Axiom finally got his mask back after being disrespected by Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano.
07:52He certainly did.
07:52Now he's able to put that into the rear view mirror and now maybe focus a little bit more.
07:57Obviously, distractions.
07:59Nobody wants to.
07:59No, submission.
08:01Apollo Crews, nice block.
08:02Going forward right in the center of the ring here.
08:03Apollo trying to run Axiom into the ropes, create some separation.
08:06Axiom pops right back up and the half and half.
08:10And now Axiom looking for a big strike.
08:12Center of the ring.
08:13Shoulders are down.
08:15Again, only two.
08:16Now trying to Juji Gatami.
08:18Axiom's offensive repertoire rolling right here.
08:20Nice shot by Apollo Crews keeping the hands locked.
08:22Shifts his weight.
08:23Axiom getting his shoulder off the mat.
08:24But there it comes back to the power you talked about, Blake.
08:27From a deadlift position, Axiom goes for the enziguri right back into a fireman's carry position.
08:32And Apollo, center of the ring.
08:34Oh, he's got a gut buster.
08:36But it won a counter by Axiom into Hurricane Rana.
08:39Here we go with a cover.
08:41This pace continues to quicken.
08:45Apollo Crews going to the outside.
08:46Look at Nathan Frazier.
08:47Frazier saying, go, go, go.
08:49And Axiom looking to strike.
08:51Oh, Axiom got caught a little bit.
08:52Wasn't able to get the full effect.
08:54His foot caught that middle rope.
08:55Was just able to reach out and connect to Apollo.
08:59Axiom right now may be a little dazed and confused.
09:01He might need to refocus.
09:03He's taking a little bit too much time trying to climb to the top.
09:05He's got the ultimate cheerleader on the outside in Nathan Frazier.
09:08That might have just been enough.
09:09Axiom all the way upstairs.
09:11Goose to the crossbody.
09:12With that power once again.
09:14Into the fall away.
09:15And Apollo, oh, right on the doorstep.
09:21As Crews talk about it being a former Intercontinental United States champion.
09:26Might be looking for a favor from Carmelo Hayes and an opportunity coming up for the
09:30U.S. title again sometime soon.
09:32But Axiom now going to the dangerous waters here, Vic.
09:35Oh my, precarious position for both these men.
09:40Setting him up as Axiom.
09:42Spinners fly from the tippy top.
09:45As Axiom in position, bam.
09:48Golden ratio.
09:51And that equates to victory.
09:55Here is your winner.
09:58Axiom.
10:00Impressive victory for a kid from Madrid.
10:03Getting the job done here against Apollo Crews on the road to WrestleMania.
10:09Big win for Axiom right here.
10:11I got to see it firsthand.
10:13Week in and week out.
10:15Bam.
10:15On NXT.
10:17Axiom getting it done here tonight.
10:19Big singles victory, as you mentioned, against Apollo Crews.
10:23Risked it all with the Spanish fly.
10:25But Axiom comes out on top and picks up a win at the perfect time on the road to WrestleMania.
10:34Axiom kicks things off in style.
10:36Earning his first singles victory here on Main Event.
10:38And setting the tone for the rest of the night.
10:41Because the action is just getting started.
10:43Coming up, the women's division takes center stage.
10:45As third-degree black belt, Carmen Petrovic,
10:48puts her striking precision on display inside the squared circle.
10:51But across from her stands one of the most intense competitors in WWE.
10:56The relentless pit bull, Ivy Nile.
10:58Something has to give, and we're going to find out next on Main Event.
11:18Go to the everyday band.
11:21Go to the NBA GO LIVE.

16:02maybe even here on Main Event
16:03let's really shake things up in the women's division
16:04you know she may look over at you and smile
16:07but there's a little bit of a devil in those angel eyes
16:09she will come quickly with a strike
16:11you gotta watch her feet
16:12you gotta watch her fists
16:13you also have to watch her takedown ability
16:16for Ivy Nile
16:17as you said earlier
16:19can't be looking ahead
16:20she could get caught
16:21that's a great point
16:22interestingly enough here Vic
16:23for Carmen Petrovic
16:24your first ever matchup in the WWE
16:26was against Ivy Nile in NXT
16:28I don't think she doesn't remember that moment
16:30doesn't remember that night
16:32all these great athletes that are in the WWE
16:34Raw, SmackDown, NXT
16:36some that have just arrived at the Performance Center
16:38at the end of the day
16:39it's about being competitive
16:40it's that competitive nature
16:41it's that alpha mentality
16:43whether it's alpha male, alpha female
16:45I'm sure Carmen Petrovic is right now lighting up Ivy Nile
16:48has been thinking about that moment
16:50remembered it as she was walking down the aisle
16:52talk about those precision-like strikes there
16:55three-time black belt
16:56former member of the Canadian National Karate Team
16:58and just like we saw with Skylar Ray
17:01a couple of weeks back
17:01the major of an opportunity
17:03is tonight here on main event for Carmen Petrovic
17:05Skylar Ray showed up, showed out
17:07Carmen Petrovic looking to do the same thing
17:08but right now on the ground
17:09with the body scissors locked in
17:11great strategy by Petrovic
17:12not allowing Ivy Nile to use that power
17:15use that strength
17:16and take a look at this submission
17:18that's certainly one way to stretch out
17:19the pit bull right here
17:20Carmen Petrovic has been expanding that playbook
17:23for quite some time
17:24looking to show it off right here
17:26against Ivy Nile
17:28as Ivy in a very precarious position
17:30shifts that weight back
17:32Petrovic had to relinquish the hole
17:33to kick out
17:34sweeps the leg
17:37as Carmen looking to remain in control right here
17:39and of course Vic
17:40a couple of weeks back
17:40we saw Ivy knock off Skylar Ray
17:42does she have momentum
17:43after that recent win?
17:44she certainly does
17:45and she's hoping to continue that momentum
17:47right here, right now
17:48against Petrovic
17:49wow, look at this
17:50aside Salto
17:52as Carmen shifts the weight
17:53only gets a near fall right there
17:55but again Ivy we talked about maybe looking ahead
17:56to next Monday
17:57where she looks to get right back in the mix
17:59for the Women's Intercontinental Championship
18:00trying to become the number one contender
18:02to compete against AJ Lee
18:04for that championship
18:05and for Petrovic in this matchup
18:07you're able to win
18:08do you put yourself in
18:10the contention for a championship
18:11down the line
18:12maybe not on Raw or SmackDown
18:13but maybe on NXT
18:14certainly could turn the heads
18:16of several of the general managers
18:17wow
18:17there's a short arm clothesline there
18:19by Ivy Nile
18:20fun and games may be over now
18:21for Petrovic
18:22you gotta wonder here Vic
18:24has Ivy Nile become somewhat of a gatekeeper
18:26for NXT superstars on the bigger stage?
18:28I wouldn't necessarily say
18:29that she's a gatekeeper
18:31I would say
18:33that she is a good test
18:34she is someone that
18:35the superstars from NXT
18:37can come up and compete against
18:39someone who has been through
18:40the NXT program
18:41has been in the performance center
18:42has found success
18:44at different levels
18:45on Raw and SmackDown
18:47and at premium live events
18:48someone who's competed
18:49in the Women's Royal Rumble
18:51so yeah I wouldn't say
18:52she's a gatekeeper
18:53that being said
18:55certainly one heck of a test
18:56see the acceleration there
18:57from Ivy Nile
18:58a nice counter by Carmen Petrovic
19:00with the strike
19:01there's no way
19:02we talk about the power
19:04and strength
19:05up overhead
19:07as Ivy Nile

19:12we talk about Ivy
19:13here we go into the cover
19:14hooks that outside leg
19:16and that's only two right there
19:18I mean we've seen it in the ring
19:19on her social media
19:20Ivy Nile has more discipline
19:21and drive when it comes to preparation
19:23than almost any other superstar
19:25you know on main event
19:25I've told stories about
19:26what she would do
19:27in the performance center
19:27when she first arrived
19:28in 100 degree weather
19:30with a 200 pound sandbag
19:31and would run around
19:32the performance center
19:33you know a couple of miles
19:35as an extra workout
19:36I mean she is disciplined
19:37I think she's still trying
19:39to translate that
19:40into success
19:40here in the WWE
19:42she's been close to championships
19:43in the past
19:44come Monday
