00:04Then
00:11Now
00:20Forever
00:28Together.
01:12The road to WrestleMania continues tonight.
01:16Welcome to main event.
01:25A man who claims he is always ready, Vic.
01:30And how about the backup for Cardona tonight?
01:43The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:47Introducing first with a combined weight of 455 pounds.
01:52Matt Tardona and Apollo Crews.
02:04WrestleMania 42 is presented by Snickers.
02:09Snickers satisfies.
02:11And by WWE 2K26.
02:16Available now.
02:17GameSpot is named as one of the best games of 2026.
02:21You don't want to miss out.
02:23Updates include new match types like I Quit.
02:26And endless fun with new ragdoll physics.
02:29Jump in today.
02:30WWE 2K26.
02:33The show never stops.
02:35The countdown's always stacking up.
02:37Wrecking on to the maximum.
02:39Say it out loud.
02:40We're practicing young.
02:41Passionate.
02:42We're backing up.
02:43Streets of rage is where we're from.
02:45The test are counting on.
02:47Your time is over.
02:48It's a practice young.
02:52And they're opponent.
02:54Axiom and Nathan Fraser.
02:57Fraxia.
03:00And this is a duo that has had tag team success.
03:04Still looking for taste of singles gold.
03:07And this, as we mentioned, is a marquee battle
03:10in what has become a very cloudy tag team division
03:14in the WWE, specifically here on SmackDown,
03:19where general manager Nick Aldis has his hands full
03:22each and every week.
03:24You best believe if you're Fraxium coming off
03:27that unfortunate loss in that tag team turmoil match,
03:30it very well could have been Fraxium walking around
03:33as number one contender for the WWE tag team title.
03:35So this is a chance for them to kind of get their minds right,
03:38get their minds back in the game.
03:40You know, we talk about the intercontinental title,
03:42specifically with Apollo Crews and Matt Cardona.
03:44Matt Cardona, of course, won his intercontinental championship
03:48in a ladder match on the grandest stage of them all,
03:52WrestleMania.
03:52And who else also won the intercontinental championship
03:55at WrestleMania?
03:57Apollo Crews.
03:58There you have it.
03:58That's the connection thread we were trying to make earlier,
04:01Byron, because both these men have big time experience,
04:05big match experience.
04:06And you kind of hinted to this.
04:08Maybe they just needed each other to take that next step.
04:11And, I mean, obviously their career paths have gone separate ways.
04:14Matt Cardona has come back to the WWE recently.
04:17Apollo Crews has been sidelined a few times with the injury.
04:20But together, they have so much in their mind about this business
04:24that it could help both of them grow.
04:26And that also goes to this matchup,
04:28because if Fraxium is able to knock these two men off,
04:31then you're talking about,
04:32well, we just beat a pair of former United States intercontinental champions.
04:35Look at the frightening speed of Nathan Frazier.
04:39And listen, here's the thing that Matt Cardona and Apollo Crews
04:42are going to have their hands full with.
04:43That's the experience of Fraxium.
04:45The telepathic communication between Nathan Frazier and Axiom.
04:50Whoa!
04:53Axiom following up.
04:54And you talk about that speed.
04:56Look at this!
04:56And you talk about working together.
04:58They have been a team all the way back.
04:59Again?
05:00In NXT.
05:01And this is that pace they like to keep every time they're out here.
05:05Speed, speed, and guess what, Byron?
05:08More speed.
05:09And that speed overwhelms your opponents.
05:12I don't care who they are, established team or not,
05:14it's extremely difficult to come back from.
05:17Nice springboard into the cover, hook of the leg,
05:19and a quick kick out off that double axe handle.
05:22You know, but you think about Fraxium,
05:24and you think about that tag team picture we're talking about on SmackDown,
05:26what is next for Frazier and Axiom?
05:29Look, I always say this.
05:31If you've been to the top of the mountain,
05:33it's so much harder to get back there.
05:35Fraxium has been there.
05:36They've had the gold around their waist,
05:37but the complexion of the tag team division is always changing.
05:41So for that, Axiom and Nathan Frazier have to think,
05:44what can we change about our style?
05:46Not that there's a flaw,
05:47but what can you add to continue to throw your opponents off?
05:50Tag was made.
05:51Matt Cardona, who has had a championship process.
05:54Coming in hot.
05:55At the tag team level, into another cover, hook of the leg,
05:57and another near fall.
05:58One tag team gold also at WrestleMania.
06:00But for Matt Cardona,
06:02do you have more of an appreciation for this man?
06:05You'll have an appreciation if you look at what Matt Cardona's gone through in his career.
06:08Pre-return, post-return.
06:11This is a man who claims he's always ready,
06:13but it's actually in life motto.
06:15Oh, that reboot.
06:16No matter what the opportunity is,
06:18no matter what the obstacle is,
06:19Matt Cardona always finds a way to survive.
06:22He certainly does,
06:23and it's interesting,
06:24it's now Cardona into the cover and a kickout.
06:27You know, being here on YouTube,
06:29you go back to,
06:30well, how many years ago was it?
06:31Matt Cardona was really the first pioneer of what became YouTube,
06:36so to speak,
06:37when it comes to wrestling.
06:39Or sports entertainment.
06:40That's why there's so much respect on the name of Matt Cardona,
06:44inside the ring and out of it.
06:47And then that's now Apollo Crews,
06:49someone who has been athletically gifted,
06:51but you've seen a different side of this man.
06:53Gone is the smile.
06:55Gone is the just happy to be here.
06:57The happy-go-lucky,
06:58let me do everything you want.
06:59He knows that right now,
07:01he's going to start picking up wins to have another one.
07:04To possibly call him some world champion.
07:06Off the splash into the cover and a kickout.
07:08Think about Apollo Crews,
07:09he was on the shelf for a year
07:10with a torn pectoral muscle.
07:13When you sit at home that long,
07:14you go through different stages.
07:15You enjoy being around the family,
07:17you let your body recover,
07:19but then you start to get the itch
07:20and you see new names rising to the top.
07:23New names getting the spotlight.
07:25And it becomes an insane state of existence
07:27because you want to be back
07:29and you want to be part of it.
07:30Nice dropkick and pivotal point
07:32in this matchup for both these teams.
07:34It's been a huge week in the WWE,
07:36going back to everything that transpired
07:38this past Monday on Raw.
07:40To Booker T Appreciation Night
07:42in Houston for NXT.
07:44Is Matt Cardona able to just get there
07:46at the last possible moment?
07:47But also, Axiom has reached out
07:49trying to fight back
07:50Axiom reaching out one more time.
07:52So close, answer with another right.
07:53Cardona, big shot under the jaw.
07:56Axiom rocked and now is a far way
07:58away from his partner.
07:59Oh, spoke too soon.
08:01Tag made.
08:02In comes Nathan Frazier.
08:04This is why Matt Cardona
08:06was desperately trying to avoid the tag
08:09to Nathan Frazier
08:10to avoid this speed chaos.
08:12Oh.
08:14I say he moves like a blurb.
08:16He strikes like a cobra.
08:17Frazier from the top.
08:19Goes up over Cardona.
08:20Charge it back in and DDT.
08:23Man.
08:24Cardona rocked.
08:25Cover.
08:25Count.
08:26And Apollo Crews saving things.
08:28Also this week, of course,
08:29this past Monday,
08:30it's 3-16 week.
08:31And I gotta say,
08:33Byron,
08:33you took one of the most underrated
08:34Stone Cold stunners
08:35I've ever seen.
08:36And my discos are still traumatized from it.
08:39Well, Axiom now
08:40putting on the brakes.
08:41Forearm back.
08:42Axiom to the middle turnbuckle.
08:43Gets caught.
08:44And there's that power
08:45quickly into the fallaway slam
08:47for Apollo Crews.
08:48Big knee from Frazier.
08:49Cardona, though,
08:50the veteran from behind
08:51looking for the win.
08:52It's a near fall.
08:54Back up and,
08:55whoa.
08:56Hooked it up and dropped.
08:59Frazier.
08:59This is what we've seen
09:00so many times from Frazier
09:02in the past.
09:02High power offense.
09:03And now he's gonna put
09:05his foot to the gas.
09:07To the top.
09:08Looking to fly.
09:09Just able to land and counter.
09:11Back up and,
09:12oh.
09:13Got dropped.
09:16And that is a statement win
09:19for Cardona and Crews.
09:22Here are your winners.
09:23Apollo Crews
09:25and Matt Cardona.
09:27Cardona saw it coming.
09:29Why, Byron?
09:30Because he's always ready.
09:33And a key point there, Vic.
09:36Statement made
09:37by a brand new team.
09:39Quick thinking
09:40from Matt Cardona.
09:41Quick strike ability.
09:43And good night,
09:44Nathan Frazier.
09:45And hello
09:46to the future
09:47of the team
09:48of Matt Cardona
09:49and Apollo Crews.
09:51What is next
09:51for these two?
09:53Because the twists
09:54and turns continue

12:48for this man
12:48to step up
12:49in the absence
12:50of Xavier Woods

12:53I think he is.
12:54Look at Grayson Waller.
12:56Look at how he's
12:56transformed
12:57his physique,
12:59transformed his attitude.
13:00A more vibrant look
13:01that we've seen
13:02in a long time.
13:03I like the trajectory
13:04of Grayson Waller.
13:08Waller's set
13:08for competition
13:09here tonight.
13:10And of course,
13:11we're on YouTube
13:12with Main Event.
13:13Been so for several weeks.
13:14And the big news
13:15broke recently

13:31Couldn't have said it better myself.
13:32Thanks.
13:43And his opponent
13:44from Northfield,
13:46New Hampshire
13:47weighed in
13:48for 252 pounds,
13:52Shinego!
13:54Yeah!
13:55This man was a few
13:56rungs away
13:57about a month ago
13:58from becoming
13:59the NXT champion,
14:01possibly headlining
14:02Stand and Deliver
14:03in St. Louis.
14:04But he is here tonight,
14:05the winner of
14:06LFG Byron Season 2.
14:09Making his
14:10Main Event debut
14:11big night
14:13for Shiloh Hill.
14:14Now what does a win
14:14do for someone
14:15like Shiloh Hill?
14:17Well, Shiloh Hill
14:17has already put himself
14:18on the map.
14:19You mentioned
14:19winning LFG Season 2.
14:21Now you come on
14:22in the Main Event
14:22to defeat an established
14:24superstar like
14:24Grayson Waller.
14:25Former Tag Team Champion.
14:27Former WWE Tag Team Champion.
14:29That's just more fuel
14:30for the fire
14:30of Shiloh Hill.
14:32Now you see
14:32Grayson Waller already
14:35kind of raising
14:36his eyebrows
14:36to his opponent
14:37here tonight.
14:37He's going to be in
14:38for a fight
14:39if you've never seen
14:39Shiloh Hill
14:40inside the ring.
14:43Oh, come on.
14:44There's always room
14:45for sportsmanship.
14:46Yeah, where's the sportsmanship?
14:47There, Byron.
14:48Take that back.
14:50This is what I love
14:51about Shiloh Hill.
14:53I mean, he's a little
14:54unstable.
14:54He's the kind of guy
14:55who can talk to you
14:56about quantum physics
14:57one second
14:57and then punch you
14:58in the mouth the next.
14:59That's very true.
15:00He's someone who is
15:00always, always observing.
15:02Rarely acts
15:03until it matters
15:04and he doesn't belong
15:05to normal systems
15:07as you talked about.
15:08He's on the dark web,
15:10so to speak,
15:11and his mind
15:11doesn't work like others.
15:13It's truly a web
15:14always processing
15:16information.
15:17He's processing
15:17the attitude
15:18of Grayson Waller.
15:19Shiloh Hill
15:20will go from zero
15:21to 100
15:21in a split second.
15:23Well, just over
15:24a week ago,
15:25he started taking
15:26cars apart
15:27at the Performance Center
15:28in the parking lot.
15:29Took three days
15:30to put everything
15:30back together.
15:31He dismembered
15:32a row of cars
15:33because he was trying
15:33to figure out
15:34which vehicles
15:35belong to the Culling.
15:36And while he was doing that,
15:37he actually took the wheels
15:38off the car of Shawn Michaels.
15:40Well, the mistakes happened.
15:41I actually meant
15:42to ask him if he could...
15:43Oh, end of the cover.
15:44Hook of the leg
15:44in a near fall.
15:45I think he could
15:45rotate my tires
15:46one of these days.
15:46He is an interesting
15:48individual.
15:48And here's what's
15:49maybe a little bit
15:50more scary in some...
15:51Oh, big right hand.
15:52In some aspects
15:54of Shiloh Hill's game.
15:55This is someone
15:56who has The Undertaker
15:57on speed dial,
15:59his coach from LFG.
16:00Well, look,
16:01anyone who has
16:01followed the career
16:02of the dead man,
16:03he is one of the
16:04hardest individuals
16:05to earn the respect of.
16:06So to know
16:07that The Undertaker
16:08has put his stamp
16:09of approval
16:10on Shiloh Hill,
16:11that's a huge honor,
16:11but that's also
16:12a huge bullseye
16:13on the back
16:14of Shiloh Hill.
16:15Hill running
16:15right through.
16:16Grayson Waller
16:17now showcasing
16:18some power
16:19with a big body slam.
16:21You are right,
16:22though,
16:22when it comes
16:22to The Undertaker,
16:23recently went down
16:24to Texas,
16:25spent the weekend
16:26with The Undertaker,
16:27learning, training,
16:28trying to apply
16:29those skills here tonight,
16:30but Waller
16:30with a big right hand
16:32changing the complexion
16:33of this match.
16:34Despite the endorsement,
16:35remember,
16:36Grayson Waller
16:36is the more experienced
16:37superstar here.
16:42Grayson Waller
16:43worrying about us
16:44over here,
16:45finally turned around
16:45and is refocusing
16:46on Shiloh Hill.
16:48I saw the way
16:50you looked at you.
16:50Now,
16:51focus in on Shiloh Hill,
16:52and you know this
16:53about Grayson Waller.
16:56He will not be
16:57a stepping stone
16:58for anyone.
16:59And you have to have
17:00that chip on your shoulder
17:00if you're Grayson Waller.
17:01That's the key to success,
17:03really,
17:03for any WWE superstar
17:04to make it to that
17:05top tier level.
17:06You've got to be a little
17:07angry at the world.
17:08Oh,
17:09what a nasty elbow,
17:10right,
17:10to the side of the air,
17:11and I'd love to know
17:12your thoughts on
17:13Kofi Kingston
17:14giving advice
17:15to the young OG,
17:17Javon Evans.
17:19For a superstar
17:19like Kofi Kingston
17:20who has seen it all,
17:22who has done it all
17:23to take an interest
17:23in Javon Evans.
17:24Into the cover,
17:25hook of the leg,
17:25and Hill powering out
17:26of two.
17:27Javon Evans should open
17:28his ears,
17:29soak in the knowledge,
17:30much like Grayson Waller
17:31has done at this stage
17:31of his career.
17:32I wonder what Waller
17:33then thinks of that
17:35mentorship,
17:35as he's not like
17:36the new kid anymore
17:37with the new day.
17:38What are you implying?
17:39Grayson Waller's
17:40jealous?
17:40I'm just asking.
17:41I mean,
17:41maybe you're on
17:42to more than I am.
17:43Well,
17:43the tone of your voice
17:44is indicating that.
17:45I'm sure Grayson Waller
17:45would love to hear
17:46your opinion.
17:47Well,
17:47Grayson Waller,
17:47I do notice,
17:48is out here tonight
17:50for the first time
17:50in quite a while.
17:52With a little bit of
17:55a little bit more color
17:56and a little bit more
17:57flair.
17:57Appears he is no longer
17:58mourning the new day.
18:00I don't see any black
18:01attire on Grayson Waller.
18:03There's a tie for mourning,
18:04but there's also
18:05another season of life
18:07where you have to come alive.
18:08And that's what
18:09Shiloh Hill
18:10doing right now.
18:11He had a mission
18:12to prove to the world
18:13just how good you are.
18:15Ooh,
18:16what a jumping knee
18:17catching Hill
18:17right underneath the jaw.
18:18And now,
18:19Grayson Waller
18:20trying to slow
18:21this matchup
18:22back down.
18:23I'm the most
18:23underrated guy
18:24in the company.
18:25And there you go.
18:26The most underrated
18:27guy in the company
18:28according to
18:29Grayson Waller.
18:30There's the chip
18:30we talked about.
18:31There's the motivation
18:32every single week
18:33for Grayson Waller
18:34to prove
18:35that he should get
18:36more recognition
18:36in WWE.
18:37Look,
18:37I have never doubted
18:38that what this man
18:39has done.
18:40He's always had
18:40the viral moment.
18:42He's always looked
18:43to show up
18:44in the biggest spots
18:45including
18:45WrestleMania.
18:47Oh,
18:47there he just
18:48mocking
18:49The Undertaker
18:50Undertaker
18:50but a big elbow
18:51right to the heart
18:52into the cover
18:53hook of the leg
18:54and Shiloh Hill
18:55just getting that
18:56right shoulder up.
18:57What I tell you earlier
18:58about the bullseye
18:59on Shiloh Hill
19:00it is bragging rights
19:01for Grayson Waller
19:02to come out here
19:03nearly pin the shoulders
19:05of the superstar
19:06who has been
19:07endorsed
19:08by The Undertaker.
19:11I don't know
19:12if Grayson Waller
19:13should be
19:13toying around
19:14right now
19:14with Shiloh Hill
19:15because again
19:16Hill does
19:17have that part
19:18of his mind
19:19that just is
19:20always working
19:21always thinking
19:22always processing
19:23a nice tilt-to-whirl
19:24slam
19:24for Hill
19:25and this certainly
19:27would be an upset
19:28if Shiloh Hill
19:29were able to rally
19:30in this match.
19:31Without a doubt
19:31this is a major test
19:33as Shiloh Hill
19:33enters the deep waters
19:36here against Grayson Waller
19:37how do you rebound?
19:39Toughest test also
19:40of Shiloh Hill's
19:41career in here
19:41with someone
19:42as you mentioned

19:53for Hill
19:55as Waller

19:56uh-oh

19:59Again it goes back
20:01to processing information
20:02always observing
20:04and then finally acting
20:05his mind doesn't work
20:07like others
20:07and Shiloh Hill
20:08is proving that
20:09right now
20:09and Shiloh Hill
20:11well that looked
20:12awfully familiar
20:13did it not?
20:15Big leg drop

20:20this time it did
