00:10Then, now, forever,
00:28Together.
01:08The action is heating up.
01:10Rivalries are getting even more intense as we're on the road to WrestleMania.
01:15Welcome to Main Event.
01:50The next contest,
01:52is scheduled for one fall introducing first from a catty pet vehicle weighing in at 182 pounds
02:05getting the action started tonight on youtube with the high-flying lucha libre sensation
02:11from friday night smackdown as we officially welcome in here blake
02:17out alongside the voice of nxt big joseph gearing up for a huge week in the big app that certainly
02:24is correct everything's always bigger in new york city i cannot wait to get to the world's most
02:29famous arena madison square garden just over a week away from standing the liver of course
02:33roughly a month away here from wrestlemania weekend and of course ray phoenix last year
02:39debuting making his wrestlemania debut rather is a few weeks after making his wwe debut certainly
02:45a big time of year i'm certainly certain that he would love to get another opportunity to
02:50be on the grandest stage of them all last year didn't work out the way he wanted
02:54but this year if he can get back to wrestlemania he certainly would look to steal the show
03:05it's of course ready for some action today but you know he's going to be tested tonight on youtube
03:10he certainly will be and this will be a very tough test for phoenix but also it's a tough test
03:16for this man
03:33and his opponent from stone mountain georgia weighing in at 225 pounds apollo crew
03:45the highly skilled and ultra athletic opponent of phoenix on his way here fresh off of a huge tag
03:51team victory a week ago here on main event apollo cruz looks to keep the momentum rolling i think
03:55apollo crew just looked up he sees that massive wrestlemania sign and at the same tone we talked
04:01about ray phoenix last year at wrestlemania apollo cruz is an individual who's had a lot of success at
04:07wrestlemania as well as won championships on the showcase the immortals and i sit here and i go
04:15this is a big match for both these men because time is running out to punch your ticket to las
04:20vegas
04:20time is running out to impress the decision makers on smackdown it's nick aldis on raw it's adam pierce
04:27every victory is so important this part of the year because we are all on the road
04:32to wrestlemania nice sign of sportsmanship i know you and byron saxon touched on it last week about
04:36five years ago apollo cruz won the intercontinental championship at wrestlemania we talked about ray
04:41phoenix making his wrestlemania debut within three weeks of his wwe debut just a year ago how much
04:47pressure on phoenix to return to that position this year i think there's a little bit more personal
04:51pressure for ray phoenix i say personal because he sees the success of penta the intercontinental champion
04:57who successfully defended that championship against dirty dominic mysterio this past monday on raw he
05:03wants to wear gold as well as phoenix he's been close in the past to the nxt north american championship
05:08to the tag team championships as well i think it's a personal pressure he puts on himself an apollo nice
05:16with a moonsault from the apron of the floor we talked about that athleticism from apollo cruz riding high
05:22right here and big big win last week alongside matt cardona right here on main event well yeah you know
05:28he team of matt cardona last week but we saw on smackdown this past friday the voices had randy orton
05:34strike cardona into a cover from the outside in only two right there but the viper certainly has a
05:39sight set on cody rhodes but matt cardona making an example out of him last friday he did and you
05:45start
05:45to wonder is that going to bother apollo cruz this far i don't think cruz is bothered that he's back
05:49to
05:49singles competition this week here on main event that was apollo's first standard tag team matchup
05:54in over a year and a half is ray phoenix showing off that athleticism right there ray one of the
06:00top
06:00luchadors in the entire world oh ray phoenix makes everything look so fast risky almost unreal he's
06:06explosive he's unpredictable and he's looking to fly once more and the pop-up with the moonsault into the
06:12cover hooks the outside leg only two right there and of course vic we talk about phoenix making his
06:18wrestlemania debut a year ago but how about his first year in the wwe worlds collide summerslam
06:24tag team title opportunity the royal rumble in his debut of course wrestlemania a big year for ray
06:29phoenix yeah but a big opportunity here a big mistake by phoenix as cruz turning this match up around
06:35the fall away slam there in that standing moonsault here we go into the cover once again oh right on
06:41the
06:41cusp you know apollo cruz is got smooth aerial moves as you just saw there with that standing
06:48moonsault but he also has an intense aggressive nature about himself since returning we'll see if
06:54he keeps sort of that mindset in this matchup because i've talked about it before and in the past he's
07:01looked for admiration from the wv universe he's taken time to pause to smile he's got to get down to
07:07get
07:07gritty and determined and pick up victories is whoa it's phoenix picking up some steam
07:13and the back of the heel connects with apollo cruz right there that's one way to slow down the momentum
07:18of the former intercontinental united states champion you talked about ray phoenix and this is a man you
07:22talk about his first year this is what i've learned about phoenix here we go into the cover as he
07:26blends
07:26lucha libre tradition with with high speed edge with high speed high octane offense he totally feels like
07:34he's controlled chaos every time he steps into the ring and even has that rock solid confidence they
07:39can see him stand up to the lemon pepper steppers of trickling and it worked out very well for him
07:43on
07:43that night but yeah he's not going to back down from anyone look at this combination goes for the
07:49enziguri apollo looking to take full control there's that power and from a deadlift position in the german
07:54suplex but he's going to roll with them didn't break the grip and apollo hits two can he hit the
07:59trifecta
08:00and let's see can the third time be a charm here for cruz but look at ray phoenix fight
08:05phoenix almost out of desperation rolls through will bear a position in the cover again only two
08:12oh and apollo with a big boot wiping out ray phoenix here now apollo looking to put his foot on
08:18the gas
08:18here vic cruz right now just muscling up ray phoenix
08:25in a very precarious position right here
08:29as apollo phoenix slips out the back
08:32and cruz face connects to that top turnbuckle oh my innovative kick right there by ray phoenix
08:40putting apollo in position vic we've seen this many many times take a look at this blake right on the
08:45shoulders of phoenix in the position for that mexican muscle buster and phoenix gets to the finish line

12:59on evolve he's here tonight on main event wherever you are in the world this man
13:05is ready for action.
13:07WrestleMania 42 is presented by Snickers.
13:10Snickers satisfies.
13:11And by WWE 2K26, available now.
13:14GameSpot has named it one of the best games of 2026.
13:18New match types like I quit and dumpster match.
13:20Endless fun with new ragdoll physics.
13:22Jump in today.
13:23WWE 2K26, the show never stops.
13:28And here's a man who never stops.
13:31The future of Lucha Libre.
13:53And here's a man who never stops.
14:04We're taking a look at one of the world's most elite luchadores
14:11who last week on Raw went toe-to-toe with another one.
14:15He certainly did.
14:16And what a treat we've had here on Main Event.
14:19First it was Rey Fenix.
14:21It's now Dragon Lee.
14:22And Brooks Jensen is in for a tough test tonight.
14:25Dragon Lee, you may look at this man and say, oh, Lucha Libre, we just talked about it.
14:29But this is someone who has been toe-to-toe with the likes of Klufler.
14:33He has gone toe-to-toe with the likes of many other larger athletes in the WWE.
14:38He's held championship gold in WWE as well.
14:42For Brooks Jensen, this is going to be a make-or-break match, I do believe, in his career.
14:47If you go back to NXT, Dragon Lee, the time he lost the North American Championship against Overfit.
14:52That is very true.
14:53And Brooks Jensen right now locked in on this opportunity.
14:56He knows how much is riding on this.
14:58And Brooks Jensen is able to pull off a victory tonight.
15:01He would have to consider that a massive upset for that individual.
15:05Brooks Jensen, a former NXT UK Tag Team Champion, but would love to get it done in the singles ranks.
15:09We're talking about a busy week for Brooks Jensen last week.
15:12A very personal issue last night on Evolve with Cappuccino Jones.
15:16Looking to finish this week on a high note.
15:18Well, you know, anytime you have a bad taste in your mouth,
15:20the best thing to do is to get back in the ring and compete, try to get that out.
15:24And I thought we were going to get a clean break, but big right hand from Brooks.
15:28As the throwback from Ranburn, Alabama, looking to make this one personal against Dragon Lee.
15:33And we talked about getting back on track.
15:35Of course, Dragon pushing Penn to the limit.
15:36Very impressive for the Intercontinental Championship last week on Raw.
15:39It certainly was.
15:40And Penta right now has all comers coming from every different angle.
15:44Whether it's Dragon Lee, whether it's someone like Dominic Mysterio.
15:47And all the way to the outside, Lee is surprised at what's going on.
15:51But as I mentioned, for Brooks Jensen, this could be that match that sends him into a new stratosphere.
15:57You've got to imagine if he's able to knock off Dragon Lee, maybe he gets a phone call from Adam
16:01Pearce.
16:01Maybe he gets a phone call from someone like Nick Aldis.
16:04Because he's in there right now bringing it to Lee.
16:06Certainly an opportunity that Brooks Jensen wants to exploit right here.
16:10The bigger superstar against Dragon Lee.
16:13As Jensen goes for a big swipe.
16:15And look at the athleticism and quickness of the future of Lucha Libre.
16:19Now, Dragon Lee better not take too much time looking at the WWE Universe.
16:22He better keep his foot on the gas in this match.
16:24A nice combination offense from Lee.
16:26Goes Trace!
16:28And a big connection there with Brooks Jensen, of course, Dragon Lee riding high at that incredible run with the
16:33World Tag Team Championships with soon-to-be Hall of Famer, the phenomenal AJ Styles.
16:37I can't wait to see AJ Styles get inducted into this year's Hall of Fame class along with Stephanie McMahon,
16:43Demolition, Dennis Rodman.
16:44And as we learned earlier this week, Sid.
16:48A star-studded class indeed as Brooks Jensen heads up, moving ahead to the outside.
16:52As Jensen might look to follow.
16:53Dragon back in!
16:54And turns him inside out with that big lariat.
16:58And Jensen looking to capitalize right here.
17:00Bit of a hesitation.
17:01Only gets one.
17:03And taking a look at Brooks Jensen over the last year or so, has really become a big fixture on
17:07Wednesday nights on Tubi for Evolve.
17:09Vic, how has he ultimately grown in that role?
17:11I think he just learns every time he gets into a match.
17:15This is definitely a student of the game in the Performance Center.
17:17He's always watching and studying matches from every different era, every different genre.
17:24Trying to be a fully rounded superstar here in the WWE.
17:28And you bring up a great point.
17:30I mean, is there really a bigger student of the game in all of WWE than the second generation star
17:34in Brooks Jensen?
17:35There may not be.
17:36And that was a textbook belly to back.
17:38Into the cover, right in the center of the ring.
17:40Referee Eddie Rango says it's only two.
17:43Jensen right back in.
17:44And I want to get into Brooks Jensen because he's also looking for an opportunity in this matchup to possibly
17:48be a late addition to Stand and Deliver.
17:51Which will be April the 4th streaming live right here on YouTube.
17:56It's NXT's biggest night of the year.
17:58We'll be live in St. Louis.
17:59Great way to kick off the month of April.
18:01Just a couple of weeks before WrestleMania weekend.
18:04And of course, we look at Brooks Jensen.
18:06Having a bit of a chip on his shoulder right here against Dragon Lee.
18:09But how about Brock Lesnar back on Raw?
18:11None too pleased with the actions of Obafemi.
18:14Probably not happy with what happened this past week on Raw either.
18:18Got knocked right out of the ring in a hurry by Obafemi.
18:21You talk about a collision course.
18:22Those two are on one in Las Vegas.
18:25It's certainly going to be one of the biggest matchups we've seen in quite some time between Obafemi and Brock
18:30Lesnar.
18:30But right now, Dragon Lee slips out the back.
18:33Big connection with that super kick.
18:34And Jensen coming right back.
18:36Big strike exchange right here.
18:38Jensen going for it all.
18:41Well, that was a nasty, gnarly landing right into the rope, so to speak.
18:45And Brooks Jensen's hurt.
18:47Dragon Lee looking to take full advantage.
18:50To be caught heeling to the outside.
18:52As the former Speed Champion turning it up a few notches right here.
18:57Much of the delight of the WWE Universe.
19:01And now Dragon looking to capitalize on this offensive attack right now.
19:05Dragon certainly wants to find his way to Las Vegas in a few weeks.
19:08And Lee!
19:09Oh, my word.
19:13Maybe a mistake right there.
19:15As Jensen looking to capitalize right now.
19:17And I think that's an attribute that's not talked about with Brooks Jensen enough is his strength.
19:21He is sneaky strong, so to speak.
19:24With another big right hand.
19:26We've certainly seen a few iterations of Brooks Jensen throughout NXT and Evolve.
19:29This very well could be the best version of himself right here.
19:32Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
19:33Looking to turn the corner.
19:34Maybe for a superplex.
19:36Out of his comfort zone a little bit.
19:37Dragon has other designs right into the trio.
19:45And Dragon taking full advantage right here, Vic.
19:51And Operation Dragon connects.
19:53Shoots the half.
19:55Into the cover.
19:55And score another for the future of Lucha Libre.
20:00Here is your winner, Dragon Lee.
20:05Listen, Vic.
20:06You have to hand it to Brooks Jensen.
20:07Certainly pushed Dragon Lee to the limit.
20:09But after a loss to a pencil to the Intercontinental Championship,
20:12Dragon Lee back on track here on Main Event.
20:15Certainly was trying to go through the body of Brooks Jensen.
20:18And when it comes to Dragon Lee, he's so innovative.
20:21Able to pull Operation Dragon really out of anywhere.
20:23And he showed it here tonight.
20:25Picking up, as you call it, a big win on the road to WrestleMania.
20:29And I don't want to say the future of Lucha Libre.
20:31The future is now for Dragon Lee.
20:33Indeed, overcoming a near 75-pound weight advantage in this one.
20:37You see Brooks Jensen showing that frustration.
20:38But Dragon Lee back on track.
20:41Picking up a win at the right time just a few weeks
20:44before Las Vegas and WrestleMania weekend.
