00:10Then, now, forever,
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.
02:05WrestleMania 42 is presented by Snickers.
02:09Snickers satisfies.

02:29Jump in today.
02:31WWE 2K26.
02:32The show never stops.
02:51And they're opponents.
02:54Axiom and Nathan Fraser.
03:00and this is a duo that has had tag team success still looking for taste of singles gold and this
03:08as we mentioned is a marquee battle in what has become a very cloudy tag team division in the
03:15WWE specifically here on SmackDown where General Manager Nick Aldis has his hands full each and
03:23every week you best believe if you're Fraxium coming off that unfortunate loss in that tag team
03:29turmoil match it very well could have been Fraxium walking around as number one contender for the WWE
03:34tag team title so this is a chance for them to kind of get their minds right get their minds
03:39back
03:39in the game you know we talk about the intercontinental title specifically with Apollo
03:43Crews and Matt Cardona Matt Cardona of course won his intercontinental championship in a ladder match
03:49on the grandest stage of them all Wrestlemania and who else also won the intercontinental
03:55championship at Wrestlemania Apollo Crews there you have it that's the connection thread we were
04:00trying to make earlier Byron because both these men have big time experience big match experience and
04:06you kind of hinted to this maybe they just needed each other to take that next step and I mean
04:11obviously their career paths have gone separate ways Matt Cardona has come back to the WWE recently
04:17Apollo Crews has been sidelined a few times with injury but together they have so much in their
04:23mind about this business that it could help both of them grow and that also goes to this matchup
04:28because if Fraxium is able to knock these two men off then you're talking about well we just beat a
04:33pair of former United States intercontinental champions look at the frightening speed of Nathan
04:38Frazier and 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 the telepathic communication between Nathan Frazier and Axiom
04:49whoa
04:53Axiom following up and you talk about that speed look at this and you talk about working together
04:58they have been a team all the way back again in NXT and this is that pace they like to
05:03keep every time
05:04they're out here speed speed and guess what Byron more speed and 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
05:21you know but you think about Fraxium and you think about that tag team picture we're talking about on
05:26SmackDown what is next for Frazier and Axiom?
05:29look I always say this if you've been to the top of the mountain it's so much harder to get
05:34back there
05:35Fraxium has been there they've had the gold around their waist but the complexion of the tag team division
05:39is always changing so for that Axiom and Nathan Frazier 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 Matt Cardona who has had
05:52oh man coming in hot at the tag team level into another cover hook of the leg and another near
05:57fall one tag team gold also at Wrestlemania but for Matt Cardona do you have more of an appreciation
06:04for this man you'll have an appreciation if you look at what Matt Cardona's gone through in his career
06:08pre-return post-return this is a man who claims he's always ready but it's actually in life model
06:15that reboot no matter what the opportunity is no matter what the obstacle is
06:19Matt Cardona always finds a way to survive he certainly does and it's interesting is now
06:25Cardona into the cover and a kick out you know being here on youtube you go back to
06:30how many years ago was it Matt Cardona was really the first pioneer of what became
06:35youtube so to speak when it comes to wrestling and that's why sports entertainment that's why there's so
06:41much respect on the name of Matt Cardona inside the ring and out of it and the match now Apollo
06:48Cruz someone who has been athletically gifted but you've seen a different side of this man gone
06:53is the smile gone is the just happy to be here the happy-go-lucky let me do everything you
06:59want he
07:00knows that right now he's going to start picking up wins to have another one to possibly call him some
07:05world champion off the splash into the cover and a kick out think about Apollo Cruz he was on the
07:10shelf
07:10for a year with a torn pectoral muscle when 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 and
07:21you see new names rising to the top names getting the spotlight and it becomes an insane state of
07:27existence because you want to be back and you want to be part of it nice drop kick and pivotal
07:31point
07:32in this matchup for both these teams it's been a huge week in the WWE going back to everything that
07:37transpired this past Monday on Raw to Booker T Appreciation Night in Houston for NXT is Matt Cardona
07:45able to just get there at the last possible moment but also Axiom who's reached out trying to fight
07:50back Axiom reaching out one more time so close answer with another red Cardona big shot under the
07:55jaw Axiom rocked and now is a far way away from his partner oh spoke too soon tag made in
08:02comes Nathan
08:03Frazier this is why Matt Cardona was desperately trying to avoid the tag to Nathan Frazier to avoid
08:10this speed chaos oh say moves like a blur he strikes like a cobra Frazier from the top goes up
08:19over
08:19Cardona charging back in and DDT man Cardona rocked cover count and Apollo Cruz saving things also this
08:28week of course this past Monday it's 316 week and I got to say Byron you took one of the
08:33most
08:33underrated stone cold stunners I've ever seen and my discos are still traumatized from it
08:39well Axiom now putting on the brakes forearm back Axiom to the middle turnbuckle gets caught
08:44there's that power quickly into the fallaway slam for Apollo Cruz big knee from Frazier Cardona though
08:50the veteran from behind looking for the wind near fall back up and whoa hooked it up and dropped
08:59Frazier this is what we've seen so many times from Frazier in the past high power offense and now he's
09:04going to put his foot to the gas to the top looking to fly just able to land and counter
09:11back up and oh
09:12got dropped and that is a statement win for Cardona and Cruz here are your winners Apollo Cruz and Matt
09:25Cardona
09:27Cardona saw it coming why Byron because he's always ready and a key point there Vic statement
09:36made by a brand new team quick thinking from Matt Cardona quick strike ability and good night Nathan
09:44Frazier and hello to the future of the team of Matt Cardona and Apollo Cruz what is next for these
09:52two

14:12big night for Shiloh Hill
14:14now what does a win do for someone like Shiloh Hill?
14:17Shiloh Hill has already put himself on the map
14:19you mentioned winning LFG season 2
14:21now you come on the main event
14:22you defeat an established superstar like Grayson Waller
14:25former tag team champion
14:26former WWE tag team champion
14:28that's just more fuel for the fire
14:30of Shiloh Hill
14:32there you see Grayson Waller already
14:35kinda raising his eyebrows to his opponent here tonight
14:37he's gonna be in for a fight if you've never seen Shiloh Hill inside the ring
14:43you
14:43oh, come on
14:44there's always room for sportsmanship
14:46yeah, where's the sportsmanship
14:47there by, right?
14:48take 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
14:57and then punch it in the mouth next
14:58that's very true
14:59he's someone who is always
15:01always 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 so to speak
15:11and his mind doesn't work like others
15:13it's truly a web
15:14always processing information
15:16he's processing the attitude of Grayson Waller
15:19Shiloh Hill will go from 0 to 100 in a split second
15:24just over a week ago
15:25he started taking cars apart at the performance center in the parking lot
15:29took three days to put everything back together
15:31he dismembered a row of cars
15:33because he was trying to figure out which vehicles belong to the Cullingan
15:36and while he was doing that
15:37he actually took the wheels off the car of Shawn Michaels
15:40mistakes happened
15:41I actually meant to ask him if he could
15:42into the cover
15:43hook of the leg in a near fall
15:45if he 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
15:51in some big right hand
15:53in some aspects of Shiloh Hill's game
15:55this is someone who has The Undertaker
15:57on speed dial his coach from LFG
16:00anyone who has followed the career of the dead man
16:03he is one of the hardest individuals to earn the respect of
16:06so to know that The Undertaker
16:08has put his stamp of approval on Shiloh Hill
16:10that's a huge honor
16:11but that's also a huge bullseye
16:13on the back of Shiloh Hill
16:15running right through Grayson Waller
16:17now showcasing some power with a big body slam
16:21so you are right though
16:22when it comes to The Undertaker
16:23recently went down to Texas
16:25spent the weekend with The Undertaker
16:27learning, training
16:28trying to apply those skills here tonight
16:30but Waller with a big right hand
16:32changing the complexion of this match
16:34despite the endorsement
16:35remember
16:35Grayson Waller is the more experienced superstar here
16:42Grayson Waller worrying about us over here
16:44finally turned around and is refocusing on Shiloh Hill
16:48I saw the way you looked at you
16:50now focus in on Shiloh Hill
16:52and you know this about Grayson Waller
16:56he will not be a stepping stone for anyone
16:59and you have to have that chip on your shoulder
17:00if you're Grayson Waller
17:01that's the key to success really for any WWE superstar
17:04to 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
17:14giving advice to the young OG Javon Evans
17:18for a superstar like Kofi Kingston
17:20who has seen it all
17:21who has done it all to take an interest in Javon Evans
17:24into the cover hook of the leg
17:25and Hill powering out it too
17:26Javon Evans should open his ears
17:28soak in the knowledge
17:29much like Grayson Waller's done at this stage of his career
17:32I wonder what Waller then thinks of that mentorship
17:35as he's not like the new kid anymore
17:37the new day
17:38what are you implying?
17:39that Grayson Waller's jealous
17:40I'm just asking
17:41I mean maybe you'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
17:46well Grayson Waller I do notice is out here tonight
17:50for the first time in quite a while
17:51with a little bit of
17:52a little bit more color and a little bit more flair
17:57appears he is no longer mourning the new day
18:00I don't see any black attire on Grayson Waller
18:03there's a tie for mourning
18:04but there's also another season of life
18:07where you have to come alive
18:08and that's what Shiloh Hill doing right now
18:11be on a mission to prove to the world just how good you are
18:15ooh
18:15what a jumping knee catching Hill right underneath the jaw
18:18and now
18:19Grayson 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 the chip we talked about
18:31there's the motivation every single week for Grayson Waller
18:34to prove that he should get more recognition in WWE
18:37look I have never doubted that what this man has done
18:40he's always had the viral moment
18:41he's always looked to show up in the biggest spots including
18:45Wrestlemania
18:46oh
18:47there he just
18:48mocking
18:49The Undertaker
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 right shoulder up
18:57what I tell you earlier about the bullseye
18:59on Shiloh Hill
19:00it is bragging rights
19:01for Grayson Waller to come out here
19:03nearly pin the shoulders
19:05of the superstar who has been
19:07endorsed by The Undertaker
19:11I don't know if Grayson Waller should be
19:13toying around right now with Shiloh Hill
19:15because again
19:16Hill does
19:17have that part of his mind
19:19that just is always working
19:21always thinking
19:22always processing
19:23a nice tilt-to-whirl slam
19:24for Hill
19:25and this certainly would be an upset
19:28if Shiloh Hill were able to rally
19:30in this match
19:31oh without a doubt
19:31this is a major test
19:33as Shiloh Hill
19:33enters the
19:34deep waters here
19:36against Grayson Waller
19:37how do you rebound
19:38toughest test also
19:40Shiloh Hill's career in here
19:41with someone as you mentioned
19:43has won championships
19:44has been at Wrestlemania
19:45and Shiloh Hill
19:46overpowering one more time
19:48charging in
19:49got caught
19:50big
19:51elbow
19:51and woof
19:52what a landing
19:53for Hill
19:55as Waller to the outside
19:56uh oh
19:57bam
19:57what the word
19:59again it goes back
20:01to processing information
20:02always observing
20:04and then finally
20:05acting
20:05his mind doesn't work
20:07like others
20:07and Shiloh Hill is proving
20:08that right now
20:09and Shiloh Hill
20:11well that looked awfully familiar
20:13did it not
20:14very familiar
20:16big leg drop
20:17Hill
20:18tried this earlier
20:19didn't pay off
20:20this time it did
20:21big flying clothesline
20:28and
20:28and
20:28innovative
20:28offense
20:29do we have it
20:31upset
20:31in Waller
20:32kicks out
20:33I don't think we saw the
20:35Undertaker do
20:35uh
20:36that much innovation
20:37on Matt
20:38it's a remix
20:39you know
20:42Shiloh Hill now going deep
20:43into the playbook
20:44in this match up
20:45gotta wonder what everyone
20:46else thinking right now
20:47also in NXT
20:48watching this
20:49is a victory oh wait a minute great job by our camera crew
20:53Grayson Waller just ripped at the face
20:56you know Waller's never shy about cutting corners if it means an advantage for him
21:00and it may mean a victory
21:02yeah you can say that again and Waller picks up the victory on main event
21:09here 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
21:26against an ultra game Shiloh Hill
21:29certainly was flying through the air innovative offense
21:32Shiloh Hill brought his best tonight but for Grayson Waller this was the turning point
21:37rake of the face right into the eyes blinding Shiloh Hill
21:42and then opening BAM that door to close this match shut was Grayson Waller
21:48color me impressive with the performance of Grayson Waller this week on main event
