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 is scheduled for one fall.
01:54Introducing first, from a kepty-pet vehicle, weighing in at 182 pounds, Ray Pena!
02:06Getting the action started tonight on YouTube with the high-flying Lucha Libre sensation from Friday Night SmackDown.
02:15As we officially welcome you in here, Blake Howard alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph, gearing up for a
02:21huge week in the Big Apple.
02:23That certainly is correct. Everything'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, of course, roughly a month away here from WrestleMania weekend.
02:37And, of course, Ray Phoenix last year debuting, making his WrestleMania debut rather, just a few weeks after making his
02:43WWE 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.
03:05Phoenix, of course, ready for some action today, but you know he's going to be tested tonight on YouTube.
03:10He certainly will be, and this will be a very tough test for Phoenix, but also it's a tough test
03:16for this man.
03:33And 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, Apollo Crews looks to keep
03:54the momentum rolling.
03:55I think Apollo Crews just looked up, he sees that massive WrestleMania sign, and at the same tone we talked
04:01about Ray Phoenix last year at WrestleMania.
04:04Apollo Crews is an individual who's had a lot of success at WrestleMania as well, won championships on the showcase
04:11of the Immortals.
04:12And I sit here and I go, this is a big match for both these men because time is running
04:18out to punch your ticket to Las Vegas.
04:20Time is running out to impress the decision makers.
04:23On SmackDown, it's Nick Aldis. On Raw, it's Adam Pearce.
04:27Every victory is so important this part of the year because we are all on the road to WrestleMania.
04:33Nice sign of sportsmanship.
04:34I know you and Byron Saxon touched on it last week.
04:36About five years ago, Apollo Crews won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania.
04:40We talked about Ray Phoenix making his WrestleMania debut within 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 Ray Phoenix.
04:52And I say personal because he sees the success of Penta, the Intercontinental Champion who successfully defended that championship against
05:00Dirty Dominic Mysterio this past Monday on Raw.
05:02He wants to wear gold as relative as Phoenix.
05:05He's been close in the past to the NXT North American Championship, to the Tag Team Championships as well.
05:11I think it's personal pressure he puts on himself.
05:15And Apollo!
05:15Nice.
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.
05:28Well, yeah.
05:28You know, you team of Matt Cardona last week, but we saw on SmackDown this past Friday the Voices had
05:33Randy 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.
05:45And 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 here on Main Event.
05:52That was Apollo's first standard tag team matchup in over a year and a half as Ray Phoenix.
05:57Showing off that athleticism right there.
05:59Ray, one of the top luchadors in the entire world.
06:02Ray Phoenix makes everything look so fast.
06:04Whiskey, almost unreal.
06:06He's explosive.
06:06He's unpredictable.
06:08And he's looking to fly once more.
06:10And the pop-up with the moonsault into the cover.
06:13Hooks the outside leg.
06:14Only 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.
06:53We'll see if he keeps sort of that mindset in this matchup.
06:58Because I've talked about it before.
06:59And in the past, he's looked for admiration from the WWE Universe.
07:04He'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 talked about Ray Phoenix.
07:21And this is a man, you talk 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.
07:33He 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.
07:42And it worked 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.
07:50There's that power.
07:52And from a deadlift position in 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.
08:06Phoenix almost out of desperation.
08:07Rolls through.
08:08Will there a position in the cover?
08:09Again, only two.
08:11Oh!
08:13And Apollo with a big boot wiping out.
08:16Ray Phoenix here.
08:17Now Apollo looking to put his foot on the gas here, Vic.
08:19Crews right now just muscling up.
08:22Ray Phoenix.
08:25In a very precarious position right here.
08:29As Apollo...
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.
08:42Take a look at this, Blake.
08:44Right on the shoulders of Phoenix.
08:46In the position for 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.
09:08Well, let'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.
09:36But 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.

13:37the future of blue chilebra
13:59we're taking a look at one of the world's most elite luchadores who last week on raw
14:12went toe-to-toe but another one actually he certainly didn't what a treat we've had here
14:17on main event versus ray phoenix now dragon lee and brooks jensen is in for a tough test tonight
14:25dragon lean you may look at this man and say oh lucha libre we just talked about it but this
14:29is someone who has been toe-to-toe with the likes of clipper he has gone toe-to-toe with
14:34the likes
14:35of many other larger athletes in the wwe he's held championship gold in wwe as well for brooks jensen
14:43this is going to be a make or break match i do believe in his career if you go back
14:48to nxt dragon
14:49league the time he lost the north american championship against over fifth that is very
14:53true and brooks jensen right now locked in on this opportunity he knows how much is riding on this
14:58and brooks jensen is able to pull off a victory tonight he would have to consider that a massive
15:03upset for that individual brooks jensen a former nxt uk tag team champion but would love to get it done
15:08in the singles ranks we're talking about a busy week for brooks jensen last week a very personal issue
15:13last night on evolve with cappuccino jones looking to finish this week on a high note
15:18you know anytime you have a bad taste in your mouth the best thing to do is to get back
15:21in the
15:22ring and compete try to get that out and i thought we're gonna get a clean break but big right
15:26hand
15:27from brooks as the throwback from ranburn alabama looking to make this one personal against
15:32dragon lee and we talked about getting back on track of course dragon pushing penta the limit
15:36very impressive for the intercontinental championship last week on raw it certainly was and penta right now has
15:41all comers coming from every different angle whether dragon lee whether it's someone like
15:46dominic mysterio and all the way to the outside lee is surprised at what's going on but as i mentioned
15:52for brooks jensen this could be that match that sends him into a new stratosphere you got to imagine
15:58if he's able to knock off dragon lee maybe he gets a phone call from adam pierce maybe he gets
16:02a phone call
16:02for someone like nick aldus because he's in there right now bringing it to lee certainly an opportunity
16:07that brooks jensen wants to exploit right here the bigger superstar against dragon lee as jensen goes
16:14for a big swipe and look at the athleticism and quickness of the future of lucha libre
16:19now dragon lee better not take too much time looking at the wb universe he better keep his foot on
16:23the
16:23gas in this match a nice combination offense from lee goes trace and a big connection there with brooks
16:29jensen of course dragon lee riding high at that incredible run with the world tag team championships
16:34with soon to be hall of famer the phenomenal aj style i can't wait to see aj styles get inducted
16:39into
16:39this year's hall of fame class along with stephanie mcmahon demolition dennis rodman and as we learned
16:45earlier this week sit a star-studded class indeed as brooks jensen heads up moving ahead to the outside
16:51as jensen might look to follow dragon back in and turns him inside out with that big lariat
16:58and jensen looking to capitalize right here bit of a hesitation only gets one and taking a look at brooks
17:04jensen over the last year or so has really become a big fixture on wednesday nights on tubi for evolve
17:09big how has he ultimately grown in that role i i think he just learns every time he gets into
17:14a
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 superstar
17:27here in the wwe and you bring up a great point i mean is there really a bigger student of
17:31the game in
17:32all of wwe and the second generation star in brooks jensen there may not be and that was a textbook
17:37belly to back into the cover right in the center of the ring referee eddie rengo 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 an
17:47opportunity in this matchup to possibly be a late addition to stand and deliver which will be april the
17:52four streaming live right here on youtube it's nxt's biggest night of the year we'll be live in st
17:59lewis great way to kick off the month of april just a couple of weeks before wrestlemania weekend
18:03and 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 brock lesnar back on raw none too pleased with the actions of obafemi
18:14probably not happy with that what happened this past week on raw either got knocked right out of the
18:19ring in a hurry by obafemi you talk about a collision course those two are on one in las vegas
18:25certainly going to be one of the biggest matchups we've seen in quite some time between
18:29and brock lesnar but right now dragon lee slips out the back big connection with that super kick
18:34and jensen coming right back big strike exchange right here jensen going for it all well that was a
18:41nasty gnarly landing right into the rope so to speak and brooks jensen's hurt dragon leaf looking to take
18:48full advantage to be caught helo 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 whoa 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
19:50and operation dragon connects shoots the half into the cover and score another for the future of lucha libre
20:27the future is now for dragon
20:33league indeed overcoming a near 75 pound weight advantage of this one you see brooks jensen showing
20:38that frustration but dragon lee back on track picking up a win at the right time just a few weeks
20:44before las vegas and wrestlemania weekend
