01:49Przeciji na bi, pokagi na trys,
01:52ziężą w Jordan Grace.
01:53I Jordan Grace inspiruje me,
01:55inspiruje mnie,
01:56w��owardsym dynamicze
01:57i nie mitä, kде to,
01:58że jodan Grace jest to,
01:59że jest się do cocina w WWE.
02:02Właświć się na obecie,
02:06No, w kurko i mówi,
02:08by to jest aunty na twaść,
02:10ale może być trochę podoba.
02:10To chyba został o темnym,
02:12takie, że koniec to,
02:13w kolejnym,
02:13o tym, nie powiem
02:15zimnie ostatnio w井z imperfectionym z rami.
02:17It's all business for Jordan Grace.
02:38And her opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia.
02:41She is one half of the irresistible forces, Lash Legend!
02:48And here is a woman, Lash Legend, always lavish, dripping carrots.
02:53Look at the fashion on Lash...
02:55Who, by the way, has already been a champion here on the main roster.
02:59Whoa, whoa, don't say that too loud. You know that's a sore topic to me, okay?
03:02I'm just saying, I was throwing up there.
03:03Very recent history of Lash Legend is still trying to get over it.
03:05Well, those are just facts. I mean, she's got to get over it.
03:08But hopefully she has gotten over, because if she hasn't, she's going to run into Jordan Grace.
03:12And this is pure power versus power.
03:15Oh, well, without question, Lash Legend has taken the WWE by storm in short order.
03:21Well, in NXT, we always talked about her stature.
03:23We always talked about her potential.
03:25But Lash Legend, in a short time, has realized that potential on Friday night.
03:35I'm sure both these women will size each other up at some point.
03:38But if you're Lash Legend, and dare I say the same can be said for Jordan Grace,
03:44it's not often you are the weaker competitor.
03:48So in your opinion, Byron, you're in the gym five days a week, sometimes six.
03:53Six and a half.
03:53Who would have the strength advantage in this matchup?
03:56And I know we see it early on here, but this isn't just about up front.
03:59It's about the whole package.
04:00Is it Lash or is it Jordan?
04:02Well, listen, on the surface, you say it's Lash Legend.
04:05She's got the height.
04:06She's got the power.
04:08But if you're Jordan Grace, you've got to somehow cut the difference.
04:11Get Lash Legend on the ground and then utilize your power advantage in that way.
04:16But easier said than done.
04:17You know, I mentioned to you that Lash Legend has worn championship gold here in the WWE.
04:22Again, bringing up a sore subject.
04:24It's not to be a sore subject.
04:24It's to point out a fact that Jordan Grace, who has been champions in other places such as TNA,
04:30has gone around the world multiple times.
04:34Is this a must win matchup for Jordan Grace?
04:36I don't think it's a must win, but it's a very helpful win for Jordan Grace.
04:39Jordan Grace has had a couple setbacks in recent months here in WWE.
04:43If you'd come back, build some momentum, build some post-WrestleMania momentum
04:47with a victory over the former Women's Tag Team Champion,
04:50that could go a long way for Jordan Grace.
04:53Looking for the suplex and quickly countered by Lash Legend.
04:56Showing you some athleticism to match that power.
04:59When it comes to championships, congratulations, by the way,
05:02to the brand new Women's United States Champion, that being Tiffany Stratton.
05:07Tiffany Stratton really knew it was just a matter of time
05:10before she would have gold around her waist again.
05:12Much deserved.
05:14Oh, look at this unique offense.
05:16And look at these fierce, nasty, gnarly headbutts coming from Jordan Grace.
05:21Referee showing a lot of leniency right now as well, Byron.
05:25Well, yes, I appreciate the fact that Jordan Grace has that side
05:27where she can be a little scrappy, be a little unorthodox.
05:32Just going to have to pull out all the stops here against Lash Legend,
05:34who we've already mentioned, but you brought it up on multiple times,
05:37that she's angry right now.
05:39She's upset.
05:39She lost the championship.
05:40She didn't have her WrestleMania moment in Las Vegas.
05:44Is that still in the back of her mind?
05:46I sure hope it is.
05:47I hope it's in the front of her mind, Vic, because that should be motivation every day.
05:51Yeah, you want to get over it.
05:52You don't want it to be a cloud over your career, but at the same time,
05:55you want that chip on your shoulder.
05:57You had the chip.
05:58You had the gold once.
05:59You want that to drive you in the future.
06:01And ooh!
06:03Just getting driven into the side of the mat is Jordan Grace by Lash Legend.
06:07You know what?
06:07I take back what I said earlier.
06:09Power advantage clearly in the corner of Lash Legend.
06:13Only now you all of a sudden are going to ride one side of the fence.
06:16I observe what I'm seeing in the ring.
06:17Into the cover hook of the leg.
06:19And a near fall.
06:20I'm an analyst for a reason.
06:21You are an analyst.
06:22I will give you that.
06:23Is now looking maybe for a power bomb here.
06:25Maybe a pile driver.
06:26Lash Legend right now trying to hoist up Grace.
06:28Grace doing her best to try to just hold on to the left leg.
06:32Counters somehow.
06:33And is able to roll through.
06:35And this is an interesting strategy.
06:36Going away from the power.
06:38And trying to cut down the size of her opponent is Jordan Grace.
06:41Isn't that what I said earlier?
06:42If Jordan Grace wants to have an opportunity in this match,
06:45you have to cut down the size difference between herself and Lash Legend.
06:49I've got to be honest.
06:49I wasn't really listening after you had your coughing incident to start the matchup.
06:52But holding on for a moment.
06:54And again,
06:56Wives beyond her years.
06:58Jordan Grace.
06:59Jordan Grace.
07:00Got some valuable separation.
07:03And taking advantage of it.
07:04When we talk about WrestleMania for Lash Legend,
07:06it's got to be in the back.
07:07Or as you said,
07:08the front of Jordan Grace's mind.
07:10Two knees to the spine.
07:11She didn't have a WrestleMania moment this year.
07:14Starting to work towards that.
07:16And the first step would be a victory over one half of the former Women's Tag Team Champions.
07:22A little Grace under pressure in the corner.
07:24Will it be enough to keep Lash down?
07:27And Lash powers out.
07:28Right now everything is flowing in the corner of Jordan Grace.
07:32She has Last Legend reeling.
07:34She can't let up.
07:39Well, this didn't work earlier in the matchup for Jordan Grace.
07:43Doesn't look like it's working right now.
07:44Oh!
07:45Able to counter though.
07:46This is a precarious position.
07:47Rolling right through.
07:48Look at that transition.
07:50But it's countered by Lash.
07:51Looking for the powerbomb.
07:53Oh, whoa!
07:53Countered.
07:53Into a pinning predicament.
07:55Hook in the leg.
07:56And again, Lash able to power out.
07:58And ooh!
07:58Oh my gosh.
08:00That could be the beginning of the end, Vic.
08:02Huge pump kick.
08:04Fouled up finally with that powerbomb.
08:06Into the cover.
08:07And the celebration, Byron, doesn't start yet.
08:10I thought Grace was done.
08:12I know.
08:12You jumped up out of your seat.
08:13You started dribbling a basketball like Lash did in college.
08:16Well, I can't control myself at times.
08:17I seriously thought we were going to ring the bell.
08:19There was going to be a victory celebration for Lash Legend.
08:22But give it up to Jordan Grace who still has life in this match.
08:26Oh.
08:27Maybe not after this.
08:28If Lash has her way going up.
08:30Having to counter one more time.
08:32And trying to turn the body.
08:33And didn't get all of it.
08:35Certainly got enough of that DDT to rock Lash Legend.
08:37Grace now.
08:38Back up.
08:39Third time.
08:39Will it be the charm?
08:40Can she power up?
08:42And ooh!
08:43Suplex on Lash.
08:44That was a brain buster.
08:45Whatever it was in this moment.
08:47This is the chance for Jordan Grace.
08:51Jordan Grace has overcome a lot of heavy artillery from Lash Legend.
08:55Finally was able to deliver that suplex.
08:58Swing and a miss.
08:59Didn't connect.
08:59Uh-oh.
09:00Lash.
09:01Up and down.
09:03A little Lash extension in the center of the ring.
09:06One, two, three.
09:07Lash Legend back to her winning ways.
09:11Here is your winner.
09:13Lash Legend!
09:14Keep dancing Byron.
09:16It's good to see you in a good mood.
09:17I'm always in a good mood.
09:18And Lash Legend is going to be in a better mood probably after this match.
09:22Well, you talked about it.
09:23Lash wanting to get the bad taste out of her mouth following WrestleMania.
09:28Following what took place in Las Vegas.
09:30She certainly did that tonight.
09:32Power was on display from both these women.
09:34But in the end, it was the power of Lash Legend that was too much for the juggernaut Jordan Grace.
09:42Reddit Jordan Grace for displaying fortitude, displaying perseverance.
09:47But tonight, the night belongs to Lash Legend.
09:56The action continues right here on YouTube.
09:59Coming up, it's power versus power when the big porterhouse Otis glides with the six-foot-eight force that is
10:04Josh Briggs.
10:05Two heavy hitters, one ring.
10:07It's going to be an old-school fight to the finish, and it's next.
10:12Page 12
10:25Give me the glory Give me the glory
10:29I got the world in the palm of my hand
10:30I've been a story, I cannot be sorry
10:32I gave him the glory of selling the plans
10:35That was just part of the plan
10:38Give me the glory
10:39Order
10:44On Saturday, May 9th,
10:46after the biggest weekend in WWE,
10:49what happens at WrestleMania
10:50doesn't stay there.
10:53Sweet, sweet revenge!
10:55It follows you.
10:56And in Tampa,
10:59it hits back.
11:01All scores are settled.
11:03It's personal.
11:05It's backlash!
11:16Backlash, a week from this Saturday.
11:24The following contest is scheduled for 1-4.
11:28Introducing first,
11:30accompanied by Maxine Dupree,
11:34representing Alpha Academy,
11:39Otis!
11:41How good is it to see these two back together?
11:45It's like peanut butter and jelly, Vic.
11:47Maxine Dupree with Otis by her side.
11:50You've got to love it.
11:52Well, it's main event here tonight,
11:53but Byron, I've got to know,
11:55are you ready to feel the backlash?
11:58That's like asking me if I'm ready to breathe.
12:00Of course I'm ready for backlash.
12:01Of course I'm ready for the next evolution
12:03and WWE happening a week from Saturday
12:05in Tampa, Florida.
12:07I love the outfit, by the way.
12:08Really?
12:08Oshkosh Pagosh.
12:10Just had to go there, didn't you?
12:11Just had to go there.
12:16On the topic of backlash,
12:18backlash is presented by
12:20Morgan & Morgan,
12:21America's largest injury law firm injured.
12:24Go to forthepeople.com.
12:27He's trying to give you a compliment.
12:30You call that a compliment?
12:31How, let's compliment
12:32how focused Otis needs to be
12:34on his opponent here tonight.
12:42And his opponent,
12:44from nothing Arizona,
12:46weighing in at 290 pounds,
12:51Josh Briggs!
12:52This is a man I know very well from NXT.
12:55This is also a man who is
12:57as bad as they come.
12:59But Byron,
13:00I do want to get your perspective.
13:03What do you think is holding
13:04Josh Briggs back?
13:06I'm not sure what's holding back
13:08Josh Briggs.
13:09More so embracing what he's becoming.
13:12If you follow Josh Briggs,
13:13if you follow his social media,
13:15if you hear him talk,
13:16he refers to himself as a man of mayhem.
13:19That moniker basically means
13:21he's willing to do
13:22what most people want to get ahead.
13:24So the more he embraces that,
13:26the more he dives into it.
13:27Josh Briggs is going to achieve
13:29everything he wants to achieve
13:31in this industry.
13:32I'll take a look.
13:32This is somewhat of a
13:34battle of the big men
13:35here on Main Event.
13:36A battle of the big men
13:37and a first time battle
13:39between Josh Briggs and Otis.
13:41You came prepared.
13:42You got your notes.
13:43That's what I do.
13:44I know.
13:45I don't ever know why I doubt you
13:46as the battle is sounded.
13:47This one is official.
13:48And you know,
13:49we talk about Otis and Maxine.
13:51It's been a while
13:51since they've been with each other
13:53on screen out here,
13:54but that hasn't stopped the support.
13:56Otis was one of Maxine's
13:58biggest cheerleaders
13:59over the last several months.
14:00Maxine, former champion,
14:02has had battles with Becky Lynch.
14:04But how does Maxine
14:06actually help Otis?
14:07I think it's a symbiotic relationship.
14:10Maxine's there to cheer you on.
14:11You have somebody who you trust
14:13in your life
14:13to support your career,
14:14much like Otis did for Maxine.
14:16It's really a win-win situation.
14:18We see right now
14:19the strength
14:20in between these two men.
14:22Oh!
14:24Well, that's what we're going to get
14:25in this matchup, Byron.
14:27I do believe you're going to see
14:28a lot of one-upsmanship,
14:29so to speak,
14:30but who is going to budge first?
14:32This is the early mental test
14:34for Josh Briggs and Otis.
14:35Whoever gets that early advantage
14:37is going to carry a significant amount
14:39of momentum in this match.
14:41Well, Briggs swinging a miss.
14:42And in comes Otis!
14:44And that would be Otis.
14:46Briggs started laughing
14:47a little bit too soon.
14:49And when it comes to Otis,
14:50you take a look at a man
14:50who I saw lifting
14:51in the weight room earlier.
14:52He was repping 500 pounds,
14:54and then he comes out here
14:55and competes
14:56as he lifts into the WWE Universe.
14:58Otis is a machine.
15:01Whether it's at the gym,
15:02whether it's at the tentative table,
15:03everything is to the extreme
15:04with Otis.
15:05Maxine liking what she's seeing
15:06for the moment.
15:07And I don't want to take away
15:08from this matchup,
15:09but Byron, I've got to ask you,
15:10what was it like Monday
15:11when you were caught
15:12between the Usos
15:13and LA Knights?
15:15Very tense situation,
15:17trying to get to the bottom
15:17of what's going down
15:18involving the Tribal Chief.
15:20And I'll tell you what,
15:21I'm glad I'm just an interviewer.
15:22I'm glad I'm just a correspondent,
15:24an analyst,
15:25because I don't want to be
15:25in the middle of all that.
15:26Well, I was trying to listen
15:28to exactly what's going on.
15:29Briggs yelling at Maxine.
15:30You're talking about
15:31a tense situation.
15:32Did you hear
15:32the body of Otis
15:34bounce off the steel?
15:36330 pounds of impact
15:38that now Josh Briggs
15:39is taking full advantage of.
15:42And Briggs just staring a hole
15:44through Maxine right now
15:45on the outside.
15:46Otis has been dropped.
15:48You see the body of Otis
15:49also starting to bruise.
15:51Welts starting to form
15:52as Briggs now
15:53trying to showcase
15:54his own sort of power
15:56in this matchup.
15:57Josh Briggs has a reputation
15:59for being a rugged,
16:00hard-nosed competitor.
16:02We'll brawl with you.
16:03We'll get down and dirty.
16:04Again, whatever it takes.
16:07What a boot
16:08falls right into the cover.
16:09This would be an upset
16:11and a kick out.
16:14Maxine, look at Worry
16:15on her face for sure.
16:17Understandably so.
16:18You know, when it comes
16:18to Josh Briggs, Byron,
16:19how do you think Briggs
16:20must feel seeing
16:22the others that were
16:23in the Performance Center
16:24with him?
16:24I'm talking about
16:25Trick Williams,
16:26Ethan Page,
16:27Javon Evans,
16:28Obafemi,
16:29getting to see
16:30those superstars
16:31move to Raw
16:32and have their
16:33WrestleMania moments.
16:34move to SmackDown.
16:35Yeah, he should be
16:35pretty angry.
16:36He should be pretty ticked off
16:38and that's a good thing.
16:40You always need to find
16:41that impetus.
16:42What's going to push you
16:43to that next level?
16:44If it's seen other guys
16:45get opportunities
16:46you think you deserve,
16:47let that be so.
16:48Well, it seems Otis
16:49has been pushed
16:49to the next level,
16:50ran right, though,
16:51into that right foot
16:52one more time.
16:53Briggs trying to continue
16:54to control the body
16:55and is starting
16:55to break down
16:57the powerful Porterhouse.
16:59systematically just breaking
17:01down Otis like you said,
17:02attacking every body part.
17:05A superstar who is never
17:07afraid to speak his mind,
17:09loves to get hit
17:09so he can hit back
17:10twice as hard.
17:12We've seen him on NXT
17:13have run-ins with
17:14Keanu Carver,
17:15with Jasper Troy as well,
17:17but here on Main Event,
17:18he is taking it to Otis.
17:20The strength,
17:21followed by the splash,
17:23center of the ring,
17:24hook to the leg,
17:24and another near fall.
17:27I can count on one hand
17:28how many superstars
17:30I have seen manhandle
17:32Otis, Joss Briggs,
17:33on that list.
17:34You know,
17:34I think we can agree
17:35with this right now,
17:36Byron,
17:37and Briggs needs to make
17:39the most of this opportunity,
17:40and he certainly is right now.
17:42Joss Briggs not only
17:43wants to beat Otis,
17:44he wants to punish Otis.
17:45He wants to embarrass Otis
17:47here on Main Event.
17:49That's a good point
17:50you just brought up
17:51a second ago
17:51because it's very rare
17:52we've seen,
17:53I mean,
17:53just look at the pain
17:54that is etched
17:55on the face of Otis.
17:56Just from the strength,
17:59from the nastiness
18:01of Joss Briggs.
18:02What was it you said earlier?
18:04Briggs refers to himself
18:04on social media.
18:05As the man of mayhem,
18:07do what others
18:08are unwilling to do.
18:12Well,
18:13that point of the elbow
18:14right into the orbital bone,
18:15right in the eye socket,
18:17and we thought there was
18:18a look of worry earlier
18:19on the face of Maxine.
18:20She's trying anything
18:21she can do right now
18:23to rally the WWE Universe
18:25in this matchup.
18:26Otis trying to reach out
18:27to find the rope
18:28to break the hole.
18:29Said finds himself
18:30a headbutt.
18:31That's one way to do it.
18:32Otis showing that
18:33surprising athleticism.
18:35And now Otis has found
18:38that second win.
18:41big back elbow.
18:44You know,
18:45we can say what we want
18:46about the strength
18:46of Briggs dropping Otis.
18:48It's very rare
18:48you see Josh Briggs
18:49drop with a back elbow,
18:51and that's what we just
18:52witnessed,
18:52but another boot.
18:53Otis is a very rare athlete.
18:55Uh-oh.
18:56Oh-ho-ho.
18:57A little angry man slam.
19:00Here we go.
19:03Otis starting to feel it.
19:06The Caterpillar.
19:08One, two, three.
19:10And Otis wins
19:12the Battle of the Bigs.
19:14Here is your winner,
19:16Otis.
19:19How good it must feel.
19:21Take nothing away,
19:22by the way,
19:23from Josh Briggs.
19:24Briggs brought his A game.
19:26Briggs was doing things
19:27to your point, Byron,
19:28that you can cut on one hand.
19:30Men in the WWE
19:31have done to Otis.
19:33The ability to hoist that man,
19:35drop that man,
19:36punish that man.
19:37Josh Briggs brought
19:38his best here tonight,
19:40but in the end,
19:41it just wasn't good enough
19:43because Otis started feeling it,
19:45and then as you said,
19:46a little Caterpillar.
19:49Good night, Josh Briggs.
19:50Thank you for your effort,
19:52but Otis reminding the world,
19:54he's just built
19:55a little different.
19:57A little loose.
19:58And it's good to see
19:59smiles back on the face
20:01of the Alpha Academy.

21:36before you know it.
22:05I don't want to give too much
22:06away for this main event
22:08byron, but it's going to be
22:10quite the showcase
22:11of aerial insanity
22:13here in just moments.
22:15I think the hair
22:16of Joaquin Wild
22:17is quite the showcase
22:18personally.
22:18Well, I've known this man
22:19for quite a while.
22:20He is a big hair guy.
22:21He loves to use
22:22the hairspray
22:23as you can see
22:24and he's going to have
22:25to bring his A-game
22:26here tonight
22:26much like we said
22:27about Josh Briggs
22:28earlier.
22:29Same goes for
22:30Joaquin Wild.
22:31Well, you know what they say,
22:32great hair day,
22:33great match day.
22:34Oh, you know what they say.
22:36I don't know what they say.
22:50I don't know what they say.
22:56is the champion, Laredo King!
23:01Quite the surprise here
23:03on main events
23:04and international flavor
23:05and it's been a busy time
23:07for this champion.
23:08Battled Dr. Wagner Jr.
23:10champion versus champion
23:11over the weekend
23:12in AAA.
23:13I am so giddy right now, Vic.
23:15I have seen Laredo
23:16get an action at AAA.
23:17I've seen him on NXT.
23:19I've seen him on them all.
23:20But to witness
23:21this man's talents
23:22firsthand at ringside,
23:24up top.
23:27You heard the ovation too
23:29from the WWE Universe.
23:32And if you know anything
23:33about Joaquin Wild,
23:34these two actually
23:35have quite the history
23:36with one another.
23:38It goes back,
23:39they've competed
23:39against each other
23:40for well over a decade.
23:41In fact, if you look
23:42at Joaquin Wild
23:43and you see that scar
23:44on his abdomen,
23:45that happened,
23:46that was from a match
23:47with Laredo King
23:48back in 2017.
23:50Wow, that should make
23:51for some interesting
23:52strategy sessions
23:53for both these men
23:54as they head into this match
23:56because there's
23:56such a strong familiarity.
24:03This is going to get
24:04to the mind of Joaquin Wild.
24:06Obviously, typically,
24:07he is the,
24:08lack of a better phrase here,
24:09fan favorite,
24:10but it seems WWE
24:11Universe is going
24:12to be behind Laredo Kid
24:13who goes into a kick cover,
24:14coming right back in Wild,
24:15falls in another quick kick out,
24:17and we got ourselves
24:17a stalemate up front.
24:19Look, we mentioned
24:20some of the exploits
24:20of the Laredo Kid
24:21who is far from a rookie
24:22in this industry.
24:23I'll tell you what,
24:24I actually had a conversation
24:25with WWE Hall of Famer
24:26Rey Mysterio earlier.
24:27I said, Rey,
24:28what do you think
24:29about Laredo Kid?
24:30His eyes lit up.
24:31He said,
24:32Laredo Kid is special.
24:34Well, we're gonna see
24:34just how special here
24:36on main event.
24:37And, you know,
24:37you start to think
24:38about this match,
24:39Byron,
24:39how fast,
24:40How quick
24:41is this pace going to be?
24:42I'm doing my best
24:43not to blink right now, Vic.
24:45Wild to the outside,
24:47Laredo Kid back to his feet,
24:48and Kid
24:49could be looking
24:50to fly
24:51for the first time
24:52in this.
24:53That was actually smart.
24:55Actually a smart strategy
24:57from Joaquin Wild.
24:58Oh!
24:59We're talking about the hair.
25:00It's a handful.
25:02That was a little bit of a
25:03way for Joaquin Wild
25:04to create some separation
25:05to get back in
25:06and by any means necessary.
25:07Yeah, baited in Laredo Kid
25:08using his experience,
25:10looking at his ring awareness
25:11and outside the ring awareness
25:12as well.
25:13And you also have to think, too,
25:14with a win,
25:15one would think Wild
25:16would be in line
25:17for possibly a championship
25:18opportunity down the line.
25:20Whenever you have a competitor
25:21that doesn't normally compete
25:22here in WWE
25:23but has a lot of buzz
25:24internationally,
25:25you want to be that guy
25:27to stop him in his tracks.
25:30Answering back
25:30was Laredo Kid,
25:31no stranger to WWE competition,
25:33was close to becoming
25:34the NXT North American Champion
25:36at Worlds Collide
25:37last summer
25:38and just lit up the chest
25:40of Joaquin Wild.
25:48Coming in,
25:48got caught with a DDT.
25:51Look at the chest
25:52starting to be bright red
25:53on Wild
25:54and Wild now trying
25:55to turn this around
25:56and looking for a submission,
25:58trying to get Laredo Kid
25:59to tap out
26:00to say
26:03what's called for the hairspray?
26:05You know,
26:05he did have a few hairs
26:06out of place.
26:07I get it.
26:10Thank goodness
26:10Cruz del Toro is here.
26:11I'll turn it back.
26:12Ooh, the clock is
26:13Joaquin Wild
26:14in this match.
26:14You know,
26:15we've been talking
26:15about AAA.
26:16New general manager
26:17to be announced
26:18on May 23rd.
26:19You got any insight?
26:20You were talking
26:20to Rey Mysterio.
26:21I know you talked
26:22to the voice of Mexico,
26:23that being Corey Graves.
26:24I've been hearing some, man.
26:25Is it you?
26:26Come on.
26:27I mean,
26:27never say never.
26:30Well, so who is it?
26:31What's the names?
26:32I can't tell you
26:33that right now.
26:34You know how much
26:34trouble I get into?
26:35Well, that's fair enough.
26:37As now Wild's
26:38finding himself
26:38in a little bit
26:39of trouble here.
26:40As Laredo Kid
26:41just able to get
26:42out of the way,
26:42currently in his
26:43second reign
26:43as AAA World
26:44Cruiserweight Champion.
26:46His reign right now
26:47began in December
26:48of 2024.
26:49If you add up
26:50all the combined days
26:51over those two reigns,
26:53he has held
26:53that championship
26:54for over 1,700 days
26:57and he just hit
26:58that neckbreaker.
26:59Just imagine
27:00how much of a confidence
27:01booster that is
27:02for Laredo Kid
27:02who's got to feel
27:03virtually unstoppable
27:04right now.
27:08Oh!
27:09Some quick offense.
27:15WWE Universe firmly
27:16in the corner
27:17of the Laredo Kid.
27:19Let's try it
27:20one more time.
27:22Second time.
27:23Will it be enough?
27:24Into the cover,
27:25opts not to hook the leg
27:26and Wild
27:27able to kick out.
27:29As we're deep
27:30into this match,
27:31but also I just
27:31got to get your thoughts
27:32because I haven't
27:32asked you all day
27:34of everything that's
27:35going on.
27:35Which superstar
27:36are you most excited
27:37for on Raw,
27:38SmackDown, or NXT
27:38as we have an exciting
27:39main event this week?
27:41I tell you,
27:43I'm not going to name
27:44one superstar
27:44because I don't want
27:45anyone to get him
27:45set with me,
27:46but it's that
27:46post-WrestleMania
27:47feels where everyone
27:48looks at this all
27:49up, has a new
27:50calendar year here
27:51in WWE to step up
27:52and mark their spot,
27:54whether it's Friday
27:54nights, Monday nights,
27:55Tuesday nights.
27:57Or it could be
27:57AAA, wherever it may be
27:59as Laredo Kid.
28:00Nice little surprise
28:01here tonight.
28:01And now looking
28:02for a surprise over
28:03Joaquin Wilde,
28:04shoulders down.
28:05And another near fall.
28:07Look, Joaquin Wilde
28:07has to know just how
28:08big this is.
28:10He too, by the way,
28:11fought over the weekend.
28:12He was in quite a battle,
28:13so both these men coming in
28:14maybe less than 100%.
28:16It's personal.
28:17You know your opponent
28:18as well as these two
28:19know each other.
28:20You're picking up
28:21right where you left off
28:21from your last match.
28:22And this time, Laredo Kid
28:25connects.
28:26Darting impact
28:27from Laredo Kid.
28:30Making the most
28:31of this main event debut
28:33is the AAA
28:35World Cruiserweight Champion
28:36who gets Wilde back
28:37into the ring
28:38and Wilde right now
28:38finding himself on the
28:39back foot, Laredo Kid.
28:41Feeling the love.
28:43Laredo!
28:44Laredo!
28:45Taking a lot of time, Vic.
28:49And to your point
28:50took a little bit
28:52too much time.
28:53And now Wilde
28:54looking to make him pay.
28:55Wilde taking that
28:56long climb to the top,
28:58but he got caught
28:59and took his eye
28:59off the ball.
29:00Same thing happened
29:00to Joaquin Wilde.
29:02Should have sped up
29:02that pace a little bit.
29:03Whoa, whoa, whoa,
29:04all the way to the top.
29:07Laredo!
29:08Got all of it.
29:10One, two, three.
29:12Statement made
29:13tonight.
29:16Here is your pick,
29:18the Triple A
29:20World Cruiserweight
29:22Champion,
29:25Laredo Kid!
29:28What a sensational
29:30matchup
29:30between these two.
29:32And no doubt,
29:34Byron Thayer,
29:35that man,
29:35the champion,
29:36is continuing.
29:37with his dominance.
29:39Laredo Kid
29:39has referred to himself
29:40as the most complete
29:42luchador around,
29:43and he gave us
29:44many reasons why.
29:46Joaquin Wilde brought it,
29:47but Laredo Kid
29:49wowed us
29:50on his way
29:52to victory.
29:53One, two, three.
29:56And a huge victory
29:57in that,
29:58in the words of Laney Wilson,
29:59somewhere over Laredo.
30:01He flew,
30:02he won.
