01:28Wymiany 225 lbs.
01:32Apollo Crew!
01:35Wymiany action started tonight on YouTube
01:37with a former Intercontinental and United States champion
01:40who knows all about WrestleMania moments.
01:44He certainly does, he's won championships
01:46on the grandest stage of them all
01:48and one day, one day he hopes to put gold
01:51back around his waist.
01:53As we officially welcome you in here,
01:54Blake Howard alongside the voice of NXT Big Joseph
01:57coming off a huge weekend in St. Louis for Stan and Deliver.
02:00It was actually a big week for WWE in general,
02:03not just Stan and Deliver where it was the biggest night of the year
02:06for the NXT superstars, but also we learned earlier this week
02:10what's gonna happen at WrestleMania on Saturday and on Sunday in Las Vegas.
02:27Break this. Break this. Break this.
02:42Let's go.
02:46And his opponent, accompanied by Chris Sadie from Detroit, Michigan.
02:52He is one half of the Motor City Machine Guns, Alex Shelley!
03:01Well raise your fist for one half of the Motor City Machine Guns
03:04who's still seeking his first WrestleMania moment.
03:07He certainly is, but this is a duo that has already worn gold once
03:10just like Apollo Crews and loved to win it again.
03:12And I didn't want to interrupt that beautiful introduction by Mr. Nash.
03:17But I also have to add to the rest of this week in the WWE.
03:21How about Robert Stone's big announcement this past Tuesday on NXT?
03:25Changing the landscape of Tuesday nights over the next couple of weeks
03:28as we're heading right into WrestleMania, of course, next weekend.
03:32Bell sounds are underway here.
03:33Alex Shelley and Apollo Crews.
03:35And Vic, we talk about Mania season.
03:37Apollo Crews, a superstar who certainly knows that spotlight.
03:40He certainly does.
03:40And again, it's all about building momentum.
03:42It's all about getting back to that stage.
03:44It's all about building up victories.
03:45And I mean, look at this last week here on Main Event.
03:47Every match so crucial on the road to WrestleMania,
03:50qualifying for that multi-man Intercontinental Championship ladder match
03:54that we found out this past Monday will now include Rey Mysterio.
03:58Certainly a big addition to that now six-pack ladder match
04:01as Alex Shelley looks to take control early on.
04:03Of course, the Motor City Machine Guns defeated Fraxium a few weeks ago
04:06on Friday Night SmackDown.
04:07We've said it before with Fraxium, but are the Motor City Machine Guns fine?
04:12What?
04:13You even asked that question?
04:15I know you've been watching Friday Night SmackDown.
04:17Seen maybe a bit of dissension.
04:19I have been, but I'm not one to ever try to stir the pot.
04:21I don't even know why you'd throw that at me.
04:23Why'd you even ask me that?
04:25That's not my MO.
04:26Quite the investigative journalist there.
04:27Well, I am the investigative journalist, but I do have to issue you an apology.
04:31You came in earlier, you said the voice of NXT.
04:33I'm sitting here with Mr. Evolve, Blake Howard, Wednesdays on Tubi.
04:38Yeah, of course, that was last night on Tubi.
04:40We're here tonight on Main Event, Alex Shelley and Apollo Crews.
04:43And we're talking nights of the week, Vic.
04:45How about last Friday on SmackDown?
04:46That shocker by Pat McAfee joining up with the Viper Randy Orton.
04:50It certainly has been the talk of the wrestling world wherever you've gone.
04:53And obviously voices not just heard in Randy Orton's head on the phone.
04:57We found out who that was in the form.
04:59I mentioned Pat McAfee, but look at Apollo Crews showing you that unbridled
05:03athleticism that mixes with that pure power.
05:07Starting to pick things up a little bit here with Apollo Crews.
05:09We talk about Mania season with him, of course.
05:11That prior Mania success very well could give him an edge this time of year.
05:15It certainly does, but look, you know, he's starting to look around.
05:17This is something we've talked about with Apollo Crews in recent months.
05:20Just going right at the opposition.
05:22We go from the outside in into the cover.
05:24Hooks the outside leg, only two.
05:25Taking a more serious approach to how things are done inside the squared circle.
05:29Someone who has missed time due to injuries.
05:31He doesn't want to miss time anymore.
05:32He wants to make up for a lost time, so to speak.
05:36And any victory is a big victory for Apollo Crews.
05:38Of course, we know Apollo has that fight in him, just like we saw with Carmelo Hayes,
05:42who unfortunately came up a bit short last Friday in his bid to regain the United States Championship.
05:46Man, and does your heart break for that man, Carmelo Hayes?
05:48I mean, I take a look at somebody who I got to follow their career in NXT along with Trick
05:54Williams,
05:54but now it's Trick who's headed to WrestleMania to compete for that United States Championship
06:00against the new United States Champion, that being Sami Zayn.
06:04And we go back to that title match last Friday.
06:06Almost wondered, did Zayn play fair towards the end of that matchup?
06:09You know, I think right now for everybody, it's-
06:12Oh, look at this power.
06:13By any means necessary to get to WrestleMania.
06:16That's what everybody works for all year long.
06:20That's what Apollo Crews was in rehab for.
06:22That's what Apollo Crews is right back here in action in a squared circle for.
06:27To have that moment.
06:29The power and strength almost from that deadlift position as Apollo Crews,
06:33the driver's seat here, but I think he needs to keep his foot on the gas.
06:35He certainly does.
06:36Interesting point for his opponent, though.
06:37I mean, you take a look at the Motor City Machine Guns.
06:40Shelly Saban, they're used to having someone to tag.
06:42There is no one to tag right now.
06:44This is singles competition as Crews right in that turnbuckle.
06:47STO right in that middle turnbuckle.
06:49And Dean, if you go back a couple of years, right before the Machine Guns came to the WWE,
06:53Alex Shelly sitting atop TNA Wrestling as the world champion, former X Division champion,
06:57certainly knows how to get it done on his own.
06:59He certainly can get it done, but there's also something to say when you get into a rhythm of being
07:03in tag team competition.
07:04You talk about the cardio aspect.
07:06I'm not questioning the man's cardio at this juncture right now as you see him swinging away.
07:10But when you think about what he's used to doing inside the ring, he's used to having the ability.
07:14There's something in the back of your mind.
07:16That's what he's been used to for several months here in the WWE is big kick.
07:21This is indeed Shelly's first singles matchup of the year as Shelly trying to coax in Apollo now.
07:27Shelly looking to take full advantage now and Shelly rolls the dice here.
07:31Pinning predicament, shoulders are down.
07:33And again, only two.
07:36As Apollo able to kick out here, Alex Shelly trying to get back in position.
07:40Vic, we're talking about all the fights coming up at WrestleMania.
07:42How about one we certainly know is gonna throw down between Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre.
07:48That one's been brewing for a very long, long time.
07:52And that one's certainly gonna go down at WrestleMania.
07:55But a couple of slaps and a big kick from Cruz.
08:00Nice enziguri counter there by Apollo.
08:01We talk about that power and strength up overhead.
08:04And just drops Shelly down.
08:06And that athleticism, that standing moonsault into the cover center of the ring.
08:12And right on the cusp yet again.
08:14I'm glad to bring up Fatu and Drew McIntyre.
08:16Of course, it'll be an unsanctioned match on WrestleMania Saturday.
08:20That will be part of the first hour that you'll be able to view on ESPN 2.
08:24What a way to kick off the weekend.
08:25Of course, the first hour on Sunday, streaming live on ESPN.
08:29As right now, look at Apollo Crews.
08:31German suplex gonna roll with Shelly right here.
08:34There's a second one, Vic.
08:35And Apollo's gonna hang on for a third.
08:39Does he have the strength to hold him?
08:40I mean, who am I to question the strength?
08:42But look at the fight.
08:43Look at the tenacity.
08:44Look at the resiliency.
08:45Shelly realizing the magnitude of the moment right here.
08:48Big strike, but a nice counter by Apollo.
08:51Shelly really showing out here in singles competition.
08:53Super kick answering back.
08:54Could be looking for a little sliced bread.
08:55Going for that patented move out of the corner.
08:58Sliced bread indeed.
08:59And Vic, this gun gets it done.
09:04Here's your winner, Alex Shelly.
09:09That's a big singles victory.
09:12And I know singles victory.
09:14As you see Chris Saban come in to help celebrate, Alex Shelly found the positioning for that sliced bread up
09:19and over.
09:20And Alex Shelly in full position with a big win this week on Main Event.
09:23Let's focus on the positives, unlike you focusing on the negatives.
09:26Motor City machine guns together victorious here on Main Event.
09:34Coming up, the original El Grande Americano returns to Main Event looking to cement his legacy as the greatest luchador
09:41of all time.
09:42But standing in his way is a high flyer who's built a reputation on shocking the world.
09:47It's the original El Grande Americano one-on-one with the LWO's Joaquin Wild next.
09:56This April.
09:58Live from Las Vegas.

10:05Damn it.
10:06Versus Randy Orton.
10:08For the Undisputed WWE Championship.
10:11There is nothing more dangerous than a Viper chasing number 15.
10:17Greatness demands an answer.
10:29Walk in like you own the air.
10:32Because confidence, that's your superpower.
10:35Acknowledge me.
10:37You don't dodge the noise.
10:40You flip it.

11:56I certainly am.
11:58What a way to cap off this week's main event.
12:09The following contest is scheduled for one call.
12:13Introducing this representing C-O-W-O.
12:19Weighing at 180 pounds.
12:23World Kings.
12:25What up?
12:26Well, the Smooth Criminal is back in action and he's certainly chomping at the bit to prove himself
12:30after being left out of last week's Intercontinental Title Ladder Match Qualifiers for WrestleMania.
12:35That's certainly a little different look too.
12:37No hats, spiked hair, shorter jacket.
12:39A little bit less flair than we're used to.
12:41Almost like he's spitting the tables again.
12:43I'll tell you what, he still is a smooth criminal.
12:48Oh, and he is fired up.
12:53As WrestleMania 42 is presented by Snickers.

13:12The show never stops.
13:15See, I knew you'd be excited.
13:28And his opponent, from the Gulf of America, weighing in for 202 pounds, the original El Trompe Americano.
13:44Oh, here we go.
13:44You're going to ask me another question where you're going to try to stir the pot just like you did
13:48in the last match.
13:49Well, I was going to ask you for a big ole.
13:51We got an appearance of a legend here, Vic.
13:52Oh, now he's a legend.
13:54Now you call the original Grande Americano a legend.
13:57It wasn't that long ago you were questioning the identity of this individual.
14:00Oh, I'm just following your lead.
14:01Talking about a fence rider.
14:02And some may say this is a superstar who's often imitated, never duplicated.
14:06Well, I mean, that is a fair statement.
14:08Somebody who reappeared at the Royal Rumble this past February.
14:12Also somebody who has had his own WrestleMania moment just one year ago.
14:18Indeed, against Ray Phoenix is the original El Grande Americano.
14:24I don't know how you can tell them apart.
14:26Really?
14:27Yeah, yeah.
14:27There's the original El Grande Americano.
14:30Then there's El Grande Americano who we saw at Stand and Deliver this past Saturday
14:34with the rest of the Los Americanos, Rayo and Bravo, who came up short in their NXT Tag Team Championship
14:39match
14:39against Vanity Project, but I'll move on.
14:41I don't know how you really, I mean, they move the same, wear the same sort of gear, the mask.
14:47I know you're in the market for some glasses, are you sure?
14:50The mask, I mean, I get the colors are maybe a little bit different.
14:55I don't know.
14:55Well, maybe that's something you need to investigate.
14:57Maybe I'll ask Booker.
14:59That's a great person to go to for that one, as right now,
15:02Joaquin Wilde trying to control the pace early on.
15:04We talked about those qualifying matchups for the Intercontinental Championship.
15:07Does Wilde have a gripe over not being in a qualifying opportunity?
15:10I don't necessarily know.
15:11I mean, those are tough decisions that are made, right?
15:13It's above our pay grade.
15:14You take a look at all of our general matters that do such a great job here in the WWE.
15:19What have you done for me lately?
15:20I think that's what a lot of people look at.
15:22Last week there was an opportunity.
15:24Javon Evans had a great rise since moving from NXT to Monday Night Raw.
15:28Other people like JD McDonough have put in the work, have won championships all throughout his journey,
15:33which was on NXT UK to NXT, where he's at now.
15:36You take a look at Rusev.
15:38I mean, there's just so many different superstars that there's only so many opportunities.
15:44And the newest one, Rey Mysterio, I mean, the resume speaks for itself, does it not?
15:48We certainly know Wilde will be supporting the newest superstar in that six pack ladder match in Rey Mysterio.
15:52And I can't discount Dragon Lee as well, another former LWO mate there.
15:56And you're talking about someone who just won a tag team title, somebody who is with AJ Styles.
16:00And it's gonna be a magnificent weekend for Dragon Lee.
16:03He's gonna see his former partner get enshrined into this year's Hall of Fame class on Friday night.
16:08Then he's gonna compete WrestleMania weekend.
16:10But Wilde right now making this feel like it's his WrestleMania moment.
16:14Not slowing down the pace as Joaquin Wilde certainly wants to seize the opportunity right here.
16:18And of course, the last time we saw Wilde, he felt the wrath of the ruler,
16:22who we now know will go one-on-one with the Beast Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.
16:25And Brock Lesnar, Obafemi, and that aforementioned ladder match will be on WrestleMania Sunday in the first hour, which will
16:32be on ESPN.
16:33What a way to kick off the final leg of the weekend.
16:38As Wilde looking to take full advantage right here out of the corner.
16:41Uh-oh.
16:41Oh, an original Legrande Americano.
16:44Got caught.
16:45Might be taking Wilde to the razor's edge.
16:49Got dropped.
16:50Innovative offense there by the original Legrande Americano into the cover only two.
16:54Let me ask you this, Mr. Journalist, you know, we talk about WrestleMania,
16:56we talk about all the festivities, Hall of Fame, two nights, SmackDown Raw.
17:00How about Bronx Beach Party?
17:01That's gonna happen over the weekend. Tiffany Strat, Trick Williams, Lash Legend.
17:05The original El Grande Americano may just be there.
17:09And you're gonna have to say something to him if you're out there.
17:12You're gonna tell him to take off his mask to get in the pool?
17:14I'd give him a big ole.
17:15You're unbelievable.
17:17You are absolutely unbelievable.
17:18As the original El Grande Americano in control.
17:21And Vic, a few weeks ago we finally saw the two El Grande Americanos face off.
17:25But did version two get the best of the original?
17:27Hold on, right now I'm trying to-
17:27Oh, wait a minute.
17:28Look at that.
17:29Into the Northern Lights suplex.
17:31What a counter there by the original El Grande Americano.
17:33That impressive maneuver gave me enough time to also shoot that email out to make sure you don't even get
17:37on the VIP list.
17:39You got that kind of pull?
17:40I sure do.
17:42As Joaquin Wilde trying to fight back here.
17:44My man Trick Williams.
17:45Oh yeah, I know you two go way back.
17:46That's right.
17:48I just told him, don't make sure Blake Howard's not on that list.
17:50Don't let him anywhere near that pool party.
17:52As Wilde now-
17:53Oh!
17:53Oh, nice.
17:54Look at the roll through here by the original El Grande Americano into the half crab center of the ring.
17:58Look at that, so fluid.
17:59Nice counter though by Wilde.
18:01Wilde back up, looking for a submission in his own right.
18:03Another pinning predicament.
18:04Right into the ankle lock.
18:06Center of the ring.
18:07An original El Grande.
18:09Referee in great position and another great counter.
18:12What a highly contested contest here in this main event.
18:16Great ring positioning by Joaquin Wilde against another new look.
18:19Always seeming to reinvent himself.
18:21Is the smooth criminal.
18:23And I don't think we're talking enough about how big of a victory this would be for
18:26Wilde to take out someone who has been featured on Triple A.
18:29We talked about WrestleMania, we talked about Monday Night Raw.
18:31This would be a statement victory, big form to the back of the neck.
18:34You talk about what have you done for me lately, this would certainly be a big win.
18:37100%.
18:38As Wilde's starting to cook right now.
18:40An original El Grande, but turned right into the satellite DDT.
18:44Excellent, but now can Wilde capitalize?
18:46I mean, he has been in singles competition a little bit more over the last six, seven months,
18:49but it comes back to what I said about Alex Shelley.
18:52And the condition to be a singles competitor opposed to tag team.
18:56We've seen Wilde and the LWO take on Los Americanos down in Triple A.
19:00This is a one-on-one encounter with the original.
19:01Flying Armbar dick.
19:03Let's see if he can flatten out the original El Grande Americano.
19:06I don't necessarily know if he got his legs properly cinched around and a nice counter again.
19:11Here we go, Oklahoma roll in the cover.
19:13Again, only two.
19:14Right back up.
19:15These two exchanging.
19:16Near falls!
19:17And launched overhead by original El Grande Americano.
19:22Again, a near fall.
19:22I give a lot of credit there to Wilde because that sequence of both men trying to stay one step
19:27ahead of the other to end with that overhead toss.
19:30Body bouncing off those turnbuckles.
19:32Necks snapping off that bottom rope.
19:35Could have been bad for Wilde.
19:36Talk about that WrestleMania moment last year for original El Grande Americano.
19:40Almost nearly secured the Money in the Bank briefcase as well.
19:44And now he's looking to turn the corner right here once again, just a little over a week before WrestleMania
19:48weekend.
19:49It's a bit wild right now.
19:50And the Smooth Criminal.
19:51He's right at home in these risky positions, Vic.
19:53Yeah, he's gotta be motivated by Rey Mysterio this past Monday and off the top.
19:58Super Count Rana there.
20:00And now Joaquin Wilde looking to turn the corner, perhaps a huge upset.
20:05Target acquired.
20:06Measuring him up, going for that flying armbar again.
20:08Got caught.
20:09And original El Grande into the corner.
20:11Whoa!
20:12And a chaos theory!
20:14Dumps him right on his head!
20:15And put it away on this victory.
20:19Here is your winner, the original El Grande Americano!
20:26I still don't know.
20:28The moves are the same.
20:29The dance style is very similar.
20:30I had a feeling you'd say something about the dancing right there.
20:33But nonetheless, original El Grande Americano picking up a huge victory.
20:37And it certainly was a massive statement win, but take nothing away from Wilde here tonight.
20:43A great matchup.
20:45Another great night here on Main Event.
20:46Just a little over a week before Las Vegas and WrestleMania weekend.
