00:04Then.
00:12Now.
00:21Forever.
00:30Forever.
01:00I can feel you.
01:01I can't lose.
01:03I can't lose.
01:05I'm in the rain.
01:07I can hear you.
01:11Always ready.
01:13The road to WrestleMania continues tonight.
01:16Welcome to main event.
01:18I'm down for the night.
01:21I'm down for the night.
01:23I'm down for the night.
01:24I can't lose.
01:25I'm down for the night.
01:26The man who claims he is always ready, Vic.
01:29Let's bring him out.
01:30And how about the backup for Cardona tonight?
01:35Let's go.
01:36Let's go.
01:38Let's go.
01:40Let's go.
01:41Let's go.
01:43The following tag team content is scheduled for one fall.
01:46Introducing first, with a combined weight of 455 pounds, Matt Tardona and Apollo Crews!
02:05WrestleMania 42 is presented by Snickers.
02:09Snickers satisfies.
02:11And by WWE 2K26, available 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 iQuit and endless fun with new ragdoll physics.
02:29Jump in today, WWE 2K26.
02:33The show never stops.
02:52And they're opponent, Axiom and Nathan Fraser.
02:57Braxium!
03:00And this is a duo that has had tag team success.
03:04Still looking for a taste of singles gold.
03:07And this, as we mentioned, is a marquee battle in 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 each and every week.
03:24You best believe if you're Fraxium coming off that unfortunate loss in that tag team turmoil match.
03:30It very well could have been Fraxium walking around as 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 specifically with Apollo Crews and Matt Cardona.
03:44Matt Cardona, of course, won his Intercontinental Championship in a ladder match on the grandest stage of them all.
03:52WrestleMania.
03:52And who else also won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania?
03:57Apollo Crews.
03:57There you have it.
03:58That's the connection thread we were trying to make earlier, Byron.
04:02Because 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 injury.
04:20But together they have so much in their mind about this business that it could help both of them grow.
04:26And that also goes to this matchup because if Fraxium is able to knock these two men off,
04:30then you're talking about, well, 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 are going to have their hands full with.
04:43That's the experience of Fraxium.
04:45The telepathic communication between Nathan Frazier and Axiom.
04:49Whoa!
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, it's extremely difficult to come back from.
05:17Nice springboard into the cover, hook of the leg, and a quick kick out off that double axe handle.
05:22You know, but you think about Fraxium and you think about that tag team picture we're talking about on SmackDown.
05:27What is next for Frazier and Axiom?
05:29Look, I always say this.
05:31If you've been to the top of the mountain, it's so much harder to get back there.
05:35Fraxium has been there.
05:36They've had the gold around their waist, but the complexion of the tag team division is always changing.
05:41So for that, Axiom and Nathan Fraser have to think, what can we change about our style?
05:46Not that there's a flaw, but what can you add to continue to throw your opponents off?
05:50Tag was made.
05:51Matt Cardona, who has had a championship.
05:53Ooh, man.
05:54Coming in hot.
05:55At the tag team level, into another cover, hook of the leg, and another near fall.
05:58One tag team gold also at WrestleMania.
06:01But for Matt Cardona, do 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, but it's actually in life motto.
06:15Oh, that reboot.
06:16No matter what the opportunity is, no matter what the obstacle is,
06:19Matt Cardona always finds a way to survive.
06:22He certainly does, and it's interesting.
06:25It's now Cardona into the cover and a kick out.
06:27You know, being here on YouTube, you go back to, well, how many years ago was it?
06:31Matt Cardona was really the first pioneer of what became YouTube, so to speak, when it comes to wrestling.
06:39Or sports entertainment.
06:40That's why there's so much respect on the name of Matt Cardona, inside the ring and out of it.
06:47And the match now, Apollo Crews, someone 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, let me do everything you want.
06:59He knows that right now, he'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 kick out.
07:08Think about Apollo Crews, he was on the shelf for a year with a torn pectoral muscle.
07:13When you sit at home that long, you go through different stages.
07:15You enjoy being around the family, you let your body recover, but then you start to get the itch.
07:21And you see new names rising to the top.
07:23New names getting the spotlight.
07:25And it becomes an insane state of existence, because you want to be back and you want to be part
07:29of it.
07:30Nice dropkick and pivotal point in this matchup for both these teams.
07:34It's been a huge week in the WWE, going back to everything that transpired this past Monday on RAW.
07:40To Booker T Appreciation Night in Houston for NXT.
07:44Is Matt Cardona able to just get there at the last possible moment?
07:48But also, Axiom is reaching out, trying to fight back.
07:50Axiom reaching out one more time, so close.
07:52Answer with another red Cardona.
07:54Big shot under the jaw.
07:56Axiom rocked and now is a far way away from his partner.
07:59Oh, spoke too soon.
08:01Tag made.
08:02In comes Nathan Frazier.
08:04This is why Matt Cardona was desperately trying to avoid the tag to Nathan Frazier.
08:10To avoid this speed chaos.
08:12Oh.
08:14As I say, moves like a blur.
08:16He strikes like a cobra.
08:17Frazier from the top.
08:19Goes up over Cardona.
08:20Charging 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 this past Monday, it's 316 week.
08:31And I gotta say, Byron, you took one of the most underrated stone cold stunners I've ever seen.
08:36And my discos are still traumatized from it.
08:39A little 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 fall away slam for Apollo Crews.
08:48Big knee from Frazier.
08:49Cardona though.
08:50The veteran from behind.
08:52Looking for the win.
08:52It's a near fall.
08:54Back up and...
08:55Whoa.
08:56Hook it up and dropped.
08:59Frazier.
08:59This is what we've seen so many times from Frazier.
09:01Frazier in the past.
09:02High power offense.
09:04And now he's gonna put his 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 for Cardona and Crews.
09:21Here are your winners.
09:23Apollo Crews and Matt Cardona!
09:27Ah!
09:27Cardona saw it coming.
09:29Why Byron?
09:30Because he's always...
09:32ready.
09:34And a key point there Vic.
09:36Statement made by a brand new team.
09:39Quick thinking from Matt Cardona.
09:41Quick strike ability.
09:43And good night Nathan Frazier.
09:45And hello to the future of the team of Matt Cardona and Apollo Crews.
09:50What is next for these two?
09:53Because the twists and turns continue as we're on the road to WrestleMania.
10:01In moments NXT upstart Shiloh Hill looks to secure the upset when he faces the arrogant Ozzy Grayson Waller.
10:08These two go one on one next on WWE Main Event.
10:23Welcome to my show.
10:31This way.
10:33Let's really get the show started.
10:39Rematch?
10:43Rated T for Team.
10:49Walk in like you own the air.
10:52Because confidence, that's your superpower.
10:56Acknowledge me.
10:57You don't dodge the noise.
10:59You flip it.
11:01Own it.
11:02Make it yours.
11:03Walk in loud.
11:06Walk out legendary.
11:16In Vegas, everything's a game.
11:21Some nights, it's played without cards or dice.
11:26Just attention.
11:28Never knowing who might show up at the table.
11:39WrestleMania Vegas.
11:42It's anyone's game.
11:46WrestleMania 42, the two-night extravaganza live from Las Vegas on April 18th and 19th starting at 6 p.m.
11:56Eastern, 3 p.m. Pacific both nights.
11:59On Saturday night one, the first hour will be live on ESPN 2, with night two's first hour airing live
12:07on ESPN.
12:09Full coverage of both nights will be on the ESPN app with ESPN on the limited.
12:15WrestleMania for the first time ever on ESPN.
12:29The following contest is scheduled for one call.
12:34Introducing first from Sydney, Australia, weighing in her 204 pounds, Grayson Waller.
12:46Is it time, Byron, for this man to step up in the absence of Xavier Woods for the new day?
12:53I think he is.
12:54Look at Grayson Waller.
12:56Look at how he's transformed his physique, transformed his attitude.
13:00A more vibrant look that we've seen in a long time.
13:03I like the trajectory of Grayson Waller.
13:07Well, Waller's set for competition here tonight.
13:10And, of course, we're on YouTube with Main Event.
13:13Been so for several weeks.
13:14And the big news broke recently that Stan and Deliver will be here on YouTube on April the 4th.
13:20You know what that means, Vic?
13:21A new home to watch the future.
13:23The future Main Eventers of Monday Night Raw.
13:25The future Main Eventers of Friday Night SmackDown.
13:27And the future Main Eventers of WrestleMania.
13:31Couldn't have said it better myself.
13:32Thanks.
13:34I made the world shake.
13:37I made the world shake.
13:41I made the world shake.
13:43I made the world shake.
13:43I made the world shake.
13:44And his opponent from Northfield, New Hampshire.
13:47Weighed for 252 pounds.
13:53Shiloh Hill.
13:55This man was a few rungs away about a month ago from becoming the NXT Champion.
14:01Possibly headlining Stand and Deliver in St. Louis.
14:04But he is here tonight.
14:05The winner of LFG Byron Season 2.
14:09Making his Main Event debut, Vic.
14:12Big night for Shiloh Hill.
14:14Now, what does a win do for someone like Shiloh Hill?
14:17Well, Shiloh Hill has already put himself on the map.
14:19You mentioned winning LFG Season 2.
14:21Now you come on the Main Event.
14:23You defeat an established superstar like Grayson Waller.
14:25Former Tag Team Champion.
14:27Former WWE Tag Team Champion.
14:29That's just more fuel for the fire of Shiloh Hill.
14:32There you see Grayson Waller already kind of raising his eyebrows to his opponent here tonight.
14:37He's going to be in for a fight if you've never seen Shiloh Hill inside the ring.
14:43Oh, come on.
14:44There's always room for sportsmanship.
14:46Now, where's the sports repair by, right?
14:47Take that back.
14:50This is what I love about Shiloh Hill.
14:53I mean, he's a little unstable.
14:54He's the kind of guy who can talk to you about quantum physics one second and then punch you in
14:58the mouth the next.
14:59That's very true.
15:00He's someone who is always, always observing.
15:02Rarely acts until it matters.
15:04And he doesn't belong to normal systems as you talked about.
15:08He's on the dark web, so to speak.
15:11And his mind doesn't work like others.
15:13It's truly a web, always processing information.
15:17He's processing the attitude of Grayson Waller.
15:19Shiloh Hill will go from 0 to 100 in a split second.
15:23Well, just over a week ago, he started taking cars apart at the performance center in the parking lot.
15:29It took three days to put everything back together.
15:31He dismembered a row of cars because he was trying to figure out which vehicles belong to the culling.
15:36And while he was doing that, he actually took the wheels off the car of Shawn Michaels.
15:40Well, the mistakes happened.
15:41I actually meant to ask him if he could...
15:43Into the cover.
15:44Hook of the leg in a near fall.
15:45He could rotate my tires one of these days.
15:46He is an interesting individual.
15:48And here's what's maybe a little bit more scary in some...
15:51Ooh, big right hand.
15:53In some aspects of Shiloh Hill's game.
15:55This is someone who has The Undertaker on speed dial.
15:58His coach from LFG.
16:00Well, look.
16:00Anyone who has followed the career of the dead man...
16:03Whoa!
16:03He is one of the hardest individuals to earn the respect of.
16:06So to know that The Undertaker has put his stamp of approval on Shiloh Hill, that's a huge honor.
16:12But that's also a huge bullseye.
16:13Oh!
16:14On the back of Shiloh Hill.
16:15They all run it right through.
16:16Grayson Waller now showcasing some power with a big body slam.
16:21You are right though when it comes to The Undertaker.
16:23He recently went down to Texas.
16:25Spent the weekend with The Undertaker.
16:27Learning.
16:27Training.
16:28Trying to apply those skills here tonight.
16:30But Waller with a big right hand changing the complexion of this match.
16:34Despite the endorsement.
16:35Remember, Grayson Waller is the more experienced superstar here.
16:40Oh!
16:41That was effective.
16:42Grayson Waller worrying about us over here.
16:44Finally turned around and is refocusing on Shiloh Hill.
16:48Two.
16:48Three.
16:49I saw the way he looked at you.
16:50Now focus in on Shiloh Hill.
16:52You know this about Grayson Waller.
16:54Yep!
16:54Oh!
16:56He will not be a stepping stone for anyone.
16:59And you have to have that chip on your shoulder if you're Grayson Waller.
17:01That's the key to success.
17:03Really for any WWE superstar to make it to that top tier level.
17:06You gotta be a little angry at the world.
17:08Oh, what a nasty elbow right to the side of the ear.
17:11And I'd love to know your thoughts on Kofi Kingston giving advice to the young OG, Javon
17:17Evans.
17:19For a superstar like Kofi Kingston who has seen it all, who has done it all to take an
17:23interest in Javon Evans.
17:24Into the cover, hook of the leg, and Hill powering out it too.
17:27Javon Evans should open his ears.
17:29Soak in the knowledge, much like Grayson Waller's done at this stage of his career.
17:32I wonder what Waller then thinks of that mentorship as he's not like the new kid anymore with
17:38the new day.
17:38What are you implying?
17:39That Grayson Waller's in Javon?
17:40I'm just asking.
17:41I mean, maybe.
17:42You're on to more than I am.
17:43Well, the tone of your voice is indicating that.
17:45I'm sure Grayson Waller would love to hear your opinion.
17:47Well, Grayson Waller, I do notice, is out here tonight for the first time in quite a
17:51while.
17:52With a little bit of...
17:55A little bit more color and a little bit more flair.
17:57It appears he is no longer mourning the new day.
18:00I don't see any black attire on Grayson Waller.
18:03Well, there's a tie for mourning, but there's also another season of life where you have
18:07to come alive.
18:08And that's what Shilo Hill doing right now.
18:11He had a mission to prove to the world just how good you are.
18:15Ooh!
18:16What a jumping knee catching Hill right underneath the jaw.
18:19And now, Grayson Waller trying to slow this matchup back down.
18:23I'm the most underrated guy in the company!
18:25And there you go.
18:26The most underrated guy in the company, according to Grayson Waller.
18:30There's a chip we talked about.
18:31There's a motivation every single week for Grayson Waller to prove that he should get
18:36more recognition in WWE.
18:37Look, I have never doubted that what this man has done.
18:40He's always had the viral moment.
18:42He's always looked to show up in the biggest spots, including WrestleMania.
18:46Oh, there he just mocking.
18:49The Undertaker, but a big elbow right to the heart.
18:52Into the cover.
18:53Hook of the leg.
18:54And Shiloh Hill just getting that right shoulder up.
18:57What I tell you earlier about the bullseye on Shiloh Hill.
19:00It is bragging rights for Grayson Waller to come out here, nearly pin the shoulders of the
19:05superstar who has been endorsed by The Undertaker.
19:11I don't know if Grayson Waller should be toying around right now with Shiloh Hill because,
19:16again, Hill does have that part of his mind that just is always working, always thinking,
19:22always processing a nice tilt-to-whirl slam for Hill.
19:25And this certainly would be an upset if Shiloh Hill were able to rally in this match.
19:31Oh, without a doubt.
19:32This is a major test as Shiloh Hill enters the deep waters here against Grayson Waller.
19:37How do you rebound?
19:39Toughest test also.
19:40Shiloh Hill's career in here with someone, as you mentioned, has won championships.
19:44He's been at WrestleMania.
19:45And Shiloh Hill overpowering one more time.
19:48Charging in.
19:49Got caught.
19:50Big elbow.
19:52And woof.
19:52What a landing for Hill as Waller to the outside.
19:56Uh-oh.
19:57Bam!
19:57What the?
19:59Again, it goes back to processing information, always observing, and then finally acting.
20:05His mind doesn't work like others, and Shiloh Hill is proving that right now.
20:10And Shiloh Hill, well, that looked awfully familiar, did it not?
20:14Very familiar.
20:16Big leg drop.
20:18Hill tried this earlier, didn't pay off.
20:20This time it did.
20:21Big flying clothesline.
20:28Innovative offense.
20:29Do we have it upset?
20:32And Waller kicks out.
20:34I don't think we saw The Undertaker do that much innovation on Matt.
20:38It's a remix, you know?
20:42Shiloh Hill now going deep into the playbook in this matchup.
20:45You gotta wonder what everyone else thinking right now also in NXT watching this.
20:50There's a victory.
20:50Oh, wait a minute.
20:52Great job by our camera crew.
20:54Grayson Waller just ripped it to face.
20:57You know, Waller's never shy about cutting corners if it means an advantage for him.
21:00Bam!
21:01May mean a victory.
21:03Yeah, you can say that again.
21:04And Waller picks up the victory on main event.
21:08Here is your winner, Grayson Waller.
21:14And I'm sure that feels good for the arrogant Aussie to pick up a victory over Shiloh Hill.
21:21If you ask Grayson Waller, I'm sure he'll tell you he did what he was expected to do against an
21:27ultra-game Shiloh Hill.
21:29Certainly was.
21:30Flying through the air.
21:31Innovative offense.
21:32Shiloh Hill brought his best tonight.
21:35But for Grayson Waller, this was the turning point.
21:38Break of the face right into the eyes.
21:41Blinding Shiloh Hill.
21:42And then opening.
21:43Bam!
21:44That door to close this match shut was Grayson Waller.
21:48Color me impressive with the performance of Grayson Waller this week on main event.
21:56Well, we all just felt the Grayson Waller effect.
