00:10Then, now, forever,
00:28Together.
01:08The action is heating up.
01:10Rivalries are getting even more intense as we're on the road to WrestleMania.
01:15Welcome to Main Event.
01:50The following contest.
01:52The contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:54Introducing first, from a kepty-peg vehicle,
01:58weighed in at 182 pounds,
02:02Rey Penis!
02:06Getting the action started tonight on YouTube with the high-flying Lucha Libre sensation from Friday Night SmackDown.
02:15As we officially welcome in here, Blake Howard alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph,
02:20gearing up for a huge week in the Big Apple.
02:23That certainly is correct.
02:24Everything's always bigger in New York City.
02:27I cannot wait to get to the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden.
02:31Just over a week away from standing the liver.
02:33Of course, roughly a month away here from WrestleMania weekend.
02:37Of course, Rey Fenix last year debuting, making his WrestleMania debut rather,
02:41just a few weeks after making his WWE debut.
02:44Certainly a big time of year.
02:46I'm certainly certain that he would love to get another opportunity to be on the grandest stage of them all.
02:52Last year didn't work out the way he wanted.
02:54But this year, if he can get back to WrestleMania, he certainly would look to steal the show.
03:05Of course, ready for some action today.
03:07But you know he's going to be tested tonight on YouTube.
03:10He certainly will be.
03:12And this will be a very tough test for Phoenix.
03:14But also, it's a tough test for this man.
03:34And his opponent from Stone Mountain, Georgia, weighing in at 225 pounds, Apollo Crews!
03:45The highly skilled and ultra-athletic opponent of Phoenix on his way here.
03:49Fresh off of a huge tag team victory a week ago here on Main Event,
03:53Apollo Crews looks to keep the momentum rolling.
03:55I think Apollo Crews just looked up.
03:57He sees that massive WrestleMania sign.
03:59And at the same tone, we talked about Rey Fenix last year at WrestleMania.
04:04Apollo Crews is an individual who's had a lot of success at WrestleMania,
04:08as well as won championships on the showcase of the Immortals.
04:12And I sit here and I go, this is a big match for both these men,
04:17because time is running out to punch your ticket to Las Vegas.
04:20Time is running out to impress the decision makers.
04:23On SmackDown, it's Nick Aldis.
04:25On Raw, it's Adam Pearce.
04:27Every victory is so important this part of the year,
04:30because we are all on the road to WrestleMania.
04:33Nice sign of sportsmanship.
04:34I know you and Byron Saxton touched on it last week.
04:36About five years ago,
04:37Apollo Crews won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania.
04:40We talked about Rey Fenix making his WrestleMania debut
04:43within three weeks of his WWE debut just a year ago.
04:46How much pressure on Phoenix to return to that position this year?
04:49I think there's a little bit more personal pressure for Rey Fenix.
04:52And I say personal because he sees the success of Penta,
04:56the Intercontinental Champion who successfully defended that championship
04:59against Dirty Dominic Mysterio this past Monday on Raw.
05:02He wants to wear gold as relative as Fenix.
05:05He's been close in the past to the NXT North American Championship,
05:08to the Tag Team Championships as well.
05:11I think it's personal pressure he puts on himself.
05:15And Apollo! Nice.
05:16With a moonsault from the apron of the floor.
05:19We talked about that athleticism from Apollo Crews riding high right here.
05:24And big win last week alongside Matt Cardona right here on Main Event.
05:27Well, yeah, you know, you team of Matt Cardona last week,
05:30but we saw on SmackDown this past Friday,
05:32the Voices had Randy Orton strike Cardona into a cover.
05:36From the outside in, only two right there.
05:38But the Viper certainly has a sight set on Cody Rhodes,
05:41but Matt Cardona making an example out of him last Friday.
05:44He did, and you start to wonder, is that going to bother Apollo Crews this far?
05:47I don't think Crews is bothered that he's back to singles competition this week
05:51here on Main Event.
05:52That was Apollo's first standard tag team matchup in over a year and a half
05:55is Ray Phoenix showing off that athleticism right there.
05:59Ray, one of the top luchadors in the entire world.
06:02Ray Phoenix makes everything look so fast, risky, almost unreal.
06:06He's explosive, he's unpredictable, and he's looking to fly once more.
06:10And the pop-up with the moonsault into the cover.
06:13Hooks the outside leg, only two right there.
06:16And of course, Vic, we talk about Phoenix making his WrestleMania debut a year ago,
06:19but how about his first year in the WWE?
06:22Worlds Collide, SummerSlam tag team title opportunity.
06:25The Royal Rumble in his debut.
06:27Of course, WrestleMania.
06:28A big year for Ray Phoenix.
06:30Yeah, but a big opportunity here.
06:31A big mistake by Phoenix as Crews turning this matchup around.
06:35The fall away slam there in that standing moonsault.
06:38Here we go into the cover once again.
06:39Oh!
06:40Right on the cusp.
06:42You know, Apollo Crews has got smooth aerial moves as you just saw there with that standing moonsault,
06:49but he also has an intense, aggressive nature about himself since returning.
06:54We'll see if he keeps sort of that mindset in this matchup,
06:58because I've talked about it before and in the past.
07:00He's looked for admiration from the WWE Universe.
07:03He's taken time to pause to smile.
07:06He's got to get down to get gritty and determined and pick up victories.
07:09Whoa!
07:11Phoenix picking up some steam!
07:13And the back of the heel connects with Apollo Crews right there.
07:16That's one way to slow down the momentum of the former Intercontinental United States Champion.
07:20You're talking about Ray Phoenix.
07:21This is a man, you're talking about his first year.
07:23This is what I've learned about Phoenix.
07:24Here we go into the cover.
07:25As he blends Lucha Libre tradition with high-speed edge,
07:30with high-speed, high-octane offense.
07:32He totally feels like he's controlled chaos every time he steps into the ring.
07:37And even has that rock-solid confidence.
07:39They can see him stand up to the lemon-pepper steppers of Trick Williams.
07:42It didn't work out very well for him on that night.
07:44But yeah, he's not going to back down from anyone.
07:47Look at this combination!
07:48Goes for the Enziguri.
07:49Apollo looking to take full control!
07:51There's that power!
07:52And from a deadlift position into the German suplex,
07:54but he's going to roll with him!
07:55Didn't break the grip!
07:56And Apollo hits two!
07:58Can he hit the trifecta?
08:00And let's see...
08:02Can the third time be a charm here for Crews?
08:04But look at Ray Phoenix fight!
08:05Phoenix almost out of desperation, rolls through!
08:08Wilbera position into the cover!
08:09Again, only two!
08:11Oh!
08:12And Apollo with a big boot, wiping out!
08:16Ray Phoenix here now!
08:17Apollo looking to put his foot on the gas here, Vic!
08:19Crews right now just muscling up Ray Phoenix!
08:25In a very precarious position right here!
08:29As Apollo...
08:30Oh!
08:30Phoenix slips out the back!
08:33And Crews face connects to that top turnbuckle!
08:35Oh!
08:36My!
08:37Innovative kick right there by Ray Phoenix!
08:40Putting Apollo in position!
08:41Vic, we've seen this many, many times!
08:43Take a look at this, Blake!
08:44Right on the shoulders of Phoenix!
08:46In the position!
08:47For that Mexican muscle buster!
08:51And Phoenix gets to the finish line!
08:55Here is your winner, Ray Phoenix!
09:00Statement victory for Ray Phoenix here on the road to WrestleMania!
09:08Let's take a look at some of this action, Vic.
09:10Here you see that Mexican muscle buster Apollo Crews pushing Ray Phoenix all throughout the matchup!
09:15But right here, the luchador able to persevere!
09:18We're talking about his speed, his agility, but maybe we should talk about the pure power of Ray Phoenix!
09:23Big win for Phoenix once again, right on the road to WrestleMania!
09:29The action continues right here on YouTube!
09:32Coming up, NXT's Brooks Jensen is on the hunt for his first singles victory on Main Event!
09:37But standing in his way is the electrifying, high-flying sensation of the LWO, Dragon League!
09:42Power meets precision!
09:44Strength clashes with speed!
09:46Who's gonna leave Boston with a much-needed win when these two superstars collide on the road to WrestleMania?
09:52Find out next!
10:03Welcome to my show!
10:11This way.
10:13Let's really get this show started.
10:18Rematch?
10:24Make a T routine!

13:44You see that you're riding – at the middle of the night.
13:47Down and coming out – the last part of his birthday,
13:59who you look past Lucha Libre,
14:02who you ever world –
14:05dragon lee we're taking a look at one of the world's most elite luchadors who last week on
14:12raw with toe-to-toe put another one to the intercontinental champion he certainly didn't
14:16what a treat we've had here on main event versus ray phoenix now dragon lee and brooks jensen is in
14:24for a tough test tonight dragon lee you may look at this man and say oh lucha libre we just
14:28talked
14:29about it but this is someone who has been toe-to-toe with the likes of clinkler he has gone
14:33toe-to-toe with the likes of many other larger athletes in the wwe he's held championship gold
14:40in wwe as well for brooks jensen this is going to be a make or break match i do believe
14:46in his career
14:47if you go back to nxt dragon league the time he lost the north american championship against over
14:52fifth that is very true and brooks jensen right now locked in on this opportunity he knows how much
14:57is riding on this and brooks jensen is able to pull off a victory tonight he would have to consider
15:02that a massive upset for that individual brooks jensen a former nxt uk tag team champion but would
15:08love to get it done in the singles ranks we're talking about a busy week for brooks jensen last
15:12week a very personal issue last night on evolved with cappuccino jones looking to finish this week on
15:17a high note well you know anytime you have a bad taste in your mouth the best thing to do
15:21is to get back
15:21in the ring and compete try to get that out and i thought we're going to get a clean break
15:26but big
15:26right hand from brooks as the throwback from ranburn alabama looking to make this one personal
15:31against dragon lee and we talked about getting back on track of course dragon pushing penta the
15:36limit very impressive for the intercontinental championship last week on raw it certainly was
15:40and penta right now has all comers coming from every different angle whether it's dragon lee whether
15:45it's someone like dominic mysterio and all the way to the outside lee is surprised at what's going on
15:51but as i mentioned for brooks jensen this could be that match that sends him into a new stratosphere
15:56you got to imagine if he's able to knock off dragon lee maybe he gets a phone call from adam
16:01pierce
16:01maybe he gets a phone call for someone like nick aldis because he's in there right now bringing it to
16:06lee certainly an opportunity that brooks jensen wants to exploit right here the bigger superstar against
16:12dragon lee as jensen goes for a big swipe and look at the athleticism and quickness of the future of
16:18lucha libre dragon lee better not take too much time looking at the wb universe he better keep his
16:23foot on the gas in this match a nice combination offense from lee goes trace and a big connection
16:29there with brooks jensen of course dragon lee riding high at that incredible run with the world tag team
16:33championships with soon to be hall of famer the phenomenal aj style i can't wait to see aj styles
16:38get inducted into this year's hall of fame class along with stephanie mcmahon demolition dennis rodman and as
16:45we learned earlier this week sit a star-studded class indeed as brooks jensen heads up moving ahead
16:51to the outside as jensen might look to follow drag it back in and turns him inside out with that
16:56big
16:56lariat and jensen looking to capitalize right here bit of a hesitation only gets one and taking a look
17:04at brooks jensen over the last year or so has really become a big fixture on wednesday nights on to
17:08be for
17:08evolve big how has he ultimately grown in that role i i think he just learns every time he gets
17:14into a
17:14match this is definitely a student of the game in the performance center he's always watching and
17:19studying matches from every different era every different genre trying to be a fully rounded
17:26superstar here in the wwe and you bring up a great point i mean is there really a bigger student
17:31of the
17:31game in all of wwe than the second generation star in brooks jensen there may not be and that was
17:36a
17:36textbook belly to back into the cover right the center of the ring referee eddie rango says it's only two
17:43jensen right back in and then and i want to get into brooks jensen because he's also looking for
17:47an opportunity in this matchup to possibly be a late addition to stand and deliver which will be
17:52april the 4th streaming live right here on youtube it's nxt's biggest night of the year we'll be live
17:58in st louis great way to kick off the month of april just a couple of weeks before wrestlemania weekend
18:04and of course we look at brooks jensen having a bit of a chip on his shoulder right here against
18:09dragon lee but how about barack lesnar back on raw none too pleased with the actions of obafemi
18:13just a week ago probably not happy with that what happened this past week on raw either
18:17got knocked right out of the ring in a hurry by obafemi you talk about a collision course those two
18:23are on one in las vegas certainly going to be one of the biggest matchups we've seen in quite some
18:27time
18:28between obafemi and brock lesnar but right now dragon lee slips out the back big connection with that
18:34super kick and jensen coming right back big strike exchange right here jensen going for it all well
18:41that was a nasty gnarly landing right into the rope so to speak and brooks jensen's hurt dragon
18:47lee looking to take full advantage to the outside as the former speed champion turning it up a few
18:55notches right here much of the delight of the wwe universe and now dragon looking to capitalize on
19:03this offensive attack right now dragon certainly wants to find his way to las vegas in a few weeks
19:08and lee oh my word maybe mistake right there as jensen looking to capitalize right now and i think
19:17that's an attribute that's not talked about with brooks jensen enough is his strength he is sneaky
19:22strong so to speak with another big right hand we've certainly seen a few iterations of brooks jensen
19:28throughout nxt and evolve this very well could be the best version of himself right here oh whoa whoa
19:33whoa looking to turn the corner maybe for a superplex out of his comfort zone a little bit
19:37dragon has other designs right into the trio whoa
19:45and dragon taking full advantage right here vic and operation dragon connects shoots the half
19:54into the cover and score another for the future of lucha libre
20:00here's your winner dragon lee listen vic you have to hand it to brooks jensen certainly pushed dragon
20:08lee to the limit but after a loss to a pencil to the intercontinental championship dragon lee back on track
20:14here on main event certainly was trying to go through the body of brooks jensen and when it comes
20:19to dragon lee he's so innovative able to pull operation dragon really out of anywhere and he showed it here
20:24tonight picking up as you call it a big win on the road to wrestlemania and i don't want to
20:30say the
20:30future of lucha libre the future is now for dragon lee indeed overcoming a near 75 pound weight advantage
20:36in this one you see brooks jensen showing that frustration but dragon lee back on track picking up a
20:42win at the right time just a few weeks before las vegas and wrestlemania weekend
20:55idos
20:55yeah
20:55yeah
20:55yeah
