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.
01:36Here we go.
01:50the following contest is scheduled for one fall
01:53introducing first from a catty pet vehicle
01:57weighing in at 182 pounds
02:01Ray Penix
02:05getting the action started tonight on YouTube
02:08with the high-flying Lucha Libre sensation
02:11from Friday Night Smackdown
02:15as we officially welcome in here
02:17Blake Howard alongside the voice of NXT
02:19Vic Joseph gearing 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
02:30Madison Square Garden
02:31just over a week away from Stand and Deliver
02:33of course roughly a month away here
02:35from Wrestlemania weekend
02:37and of course Ray Phoenix last year debuting
02:39making 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
02:49to 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
02:57he certainly would look to steal the show
03:05Phoenix of course ready for some action today
03:07but you know he's going to be tested tonight on YouTube
03:10he certainly will be
03:11and this will be a very tough test for Phoenix
03:14but also it's a tough test for this man
03:33and his opponent from Stone Mountain Georgia
03:37weighing in at 225 pounds
03:44Apollo 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 Ray Phoenix last year
04:02at Wrestlemania
04:03Apollo Crews
04:05is an individual who's had a lot of success at Wrestlemania
04:08as well as won championships
04:10on the showcase of the Immortals
04:12and I sit here and I go
04:15this is a big match for both these men
04:17because time is running out
04:18to punch your ticket to Las Vegas
04:20time is running out to impress the decision makers
04:23on Smackdown
04:24it's Nick Aldis
04:25on Raw
04:26it's Adam Pearce
04:27every victory is so important this part of the year
04:30because we are all on the road
04:31to Wrestlemania
04:33nice sign of sportsmanship
04:34I know you and Byron Saxon touched on it last week
04:36about five years ago
04:37Apollo Crews won the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania
04:40we talked about Ray Phoenix 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 Ray Phoenix
04:52and I say personal because he sees the success of Penta
04:56the Intercontinental Champion who successfully defended
04:58that championship against Dirty Dominic Mysterio
05:01this past Monday on Raw
05:02he wants to wear gold as relative as Phoenix
05:04he'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 a personal pressure he puts on himself
05:14Apollo
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
05:23and big win last week alongside Matt Cardona right here on main event
05:28well yeah you know he teamed with 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 gonna bother Apollo Crews this far
05:47I don't think Crews is bothered that he's back to singles competition
05:50this week here on main event
05:52that was Apollo's first standard tag team matchup in over a year and a half
05:55is Ray Phoenix
05:57showing off that athleticism right there
05:59Ray one of the top luchadors in the entire world
06:01Ray Phoenix makes everything look so fast
06:04risky almost unreal
06:06he's explosive
06:06he's unpredictable
06:08and he's looking to fly
06:09once more
06:10and the pop up with the moonsault into the cover
06:13hooks the outside leg
06:14only two right there
06:15and 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
06:23SummerSlam 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
06:33as Crews turning this matchup around
06:35the fall away slam there
06:37and that standing moonsault
06:38here we go into the cover once again
06:39oh
06:40right on the cusp
06:42you know Apollo Crews is
06:44got smooth aerial moves
06:47as you just saw there
06:48with that standing moonsault
06:49but he also has an intense aggressive nature about himself
06:52since returning
06:53we'll see if he keeps
06:55sort of that mindset in this matchup
06:58because I've talked about it before
06:59and in the past
07:00he's looked for admiration from the WWE Universe
07:03he's taken time to pause to smile
07:05he's got to get down to get gritty
07:07and determine and pick up victories
07:09is whoa
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
07:18of the former Intercontinental United States champion
07:20you talked about Ray Phoenix
07:21this 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
07:28with high speed edge
07:30with high speed high octane offense
07:32he totally feels like he's controlled chaos
07:35every 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
07:41of Trickley
07:41and 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
07:51there's that power
07:52and from a deadlift position
07:53in the German suplex
07:54but he's going to roll with him
07:55didn't break the grip
07:56and Apollo hits two
07:58then 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
08:07rolls through
08:07well there a position in the cover
08:09again only two
08:11oh
08:12and Apollo with a big boot
08:14wiping out
08:15Ray Phoenix here
08:17now Apollo looking to put his foot
08:18on the gas here Vic
08:19Crews right now just
08:20muscling up
08:22Ray Phoenix
08:25in a very precarious position right here
08:29as Apollo
08:30oh Phoenix slips out the back
08:33and Crews face
08:34connects to that top turnbuckle
08:35oh my
08:36innovative kick right there
08:38by Ray Phoenix
08:39putting 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
08:49muscle
08:50buster
08:50and Phoenix

09:10here you see that Mexican
09:11muscle buster Apollo Crews
09:13pushing Ray Phoenix
09:14all throughout the matchup
09:15but right here
09:16the luchador able to persevere
09:18we're talking about his speed
09:19his agility
09:20but maybe we should talk about
09:21the pure power of Ray Phoenix

13:30who never stops
13:31the future
13:32of Lucha Libre
13:53and here's a putting
13:55from Tala, Jalisco, Mexico
13:58weighing in at 165 pounds
14:05Dragon Lee
14:08we're taking a look at one of the world's most elite luchadors
14:11who last week on Raw went toe-to-toe
14:13with another one
14:14to the Intercontinental Champion
14:15he certainly did
14:16and what a treat we've had here
14:17on main event
14:19versus Ray Phoenix
14:21now Dragon Lee
14:22and Brooks Jensen is in for a tough test tonight
14:25Dragon Lee
14:25you may look at this man and say
14:27oh Lucha Libre
14:28we just talked about it
14:29but this is someone who has been toe-to-toe
14:31with the likes of Klufler
14:33he has gone toe-to-toe
14:34with the likes of many other larger athletes
14:37in the WWE
14:38he's held championship gold
14:40in WWE as well
14:42for Brooks Jensen
14:43this is going to be a make or break match
14:46I do believe in his career
14:47if you go back to NXT Dragon Lee
14:49the time he lost the North American Championship
14:51against Overfit
14:52that is very true
14:53and Brooks Jensen right now
14:55locked in on this opportunity
14:56he knows how much is riding on this
14:58and Brooks Jensen is able to pull off a victory tonight
15:01he would have to consider that a massive upset
15:03for that individual
15:04Brooks Jensen a former NXT UK Tag Team Champion
15:07but would love to get it done in the singles ranks
15:09we're talking about a busy week for Brooks Jensen
15:11last week
15:12a very personal issue
15:13last night on Evolve with Cappuccino Jones
15:16looking to finish this week on a high note
15:17well you know anytime you have a bad taste in your mouth
15:20the best thing to do is to get back in the ring
15:22and compete
15:22try to get that out
15:23and I thought we were going to get a clean break
15:26but big right hand from Brooks
15:27as the throwback from Ranburn, Alabama
15:30looking to make this one personal against Dragon Lee
15:33and we talked about getting back on track
15:34of course Dragon pushing Penta the limit
15:36very impressive
15:37for the Intercontinental Championship last week on Raw
15:39it certainly was
15:40and Penta right now
15:41has all comers coming from every different angle
15:44whether it's Dragon Lee
15:45whether it's someone like Dominic Mysterio
15:47and all the way to the outside
15:48Lee is surprised at what's going on
15:51but as I mentioned for Brooks Jensen
15:53this could be that match that sends him into a new stratosphere
15:56you got to imagine
15:58if he's able to knock off Dragon Lee
15:59maybe he gets a phone call from Adam Pearce
16:01maybe he gets a phone call for someone like Nick Aldis
16:03because he's in there right now
16:05bringing it to Lee
16:06certainly an opportunity that
16:08Brooks Jensen wants to exploit right here
16:10the bigger superstar against Dragon Lee
16:13as Jensen goes for a big swipe
16:15and look at the athleticism and quickness
16:17of the future of Lucha Libre
16:19now Dragon Lee better not take too much time
16:21looking at the WWE Universe
16:22he better keep his foot on the gas in this match
16:24a nice combination offense from Lee
16:26goes Trace
16:28and a big connection there with Brooks Jensen
16:30of course Dragon Lee riding high
16:31at that incredible run with the World Tag Team Championships
16:34with soon to be Hall of Famer the phenomenal AJ Styles
16:37I can't wait to see AJ Styles get inducted into this year's Hall of Fame class
16:41along with Stephanie McMahon
16:43Demolition, Dennis Rodman
16:44and as we learned earlier this week
16:46Sid
16:47a star-studded class indeed
16:49as Brooks Jensen heads up
16:50moving ahead to the outside
16:51as Jensen might look to follow
16:53Dragon back in
16:54and turns him inside out
16:56with that big lariat
16:58and Jensen looking to capitalize right here
17:00bit of a hesitation
17:01only gets one
17:03and taking a look at Brooks Jensen
17:05over the last year or so
17:06has really become a big fixture
17:07on Wednesday nights
17:08on Tubi for Evolve
17:09Vic, how has he ultimately grown in that role?
17:11I think he just learns every time he gets into a match
17:15this is definitely a student of the game
17:16in the Performance Center
17:17he's always watching and studying
17:20matches from every different era
17:22every different genre
17:23trying to be a fully rounded superstar here in the WWE
17:28and you bring up a great point
17:30I mean is there really a bigger student of the game
17:31in all of WWE
17:33than the second generation star in Brooks Jensen
17:35there may not be
17:36and that was a textbook belly to back
17:37into the cover right in the center of the ring
17:39and referee Eddie Rango says it's only two
17:43Jensen right back in
17:44and I want to get into Brooks Jensen
17:46because he's also looking for an opportunity
17:47in this matchup
17:48to possibly be a late addition
17:50to Stand and Deliver
17:51which will be April the 4th
17:53streaming live right here on YouTube
17:56it's NXT's biggest night of the year
17:58we'll be live in St. Louis
17:59great way to kick off the month of April
18:01just a couple of weeks before Wrestlemania weekend
18:03and of course we look at Brooks Jensen
18:06having a bit of a chip on his shoulder right here
18:08against Dragon Lee
18:09but how about Brock Lesnar back on Raw
18:11none too pleased with the actions of Obafemi
18:13probably not happy with what happened this past week on Raw either
18:17got knocked right out of the ring
18:19in a hurry by Obafemi
18:21you talk about a collision course
18:22those two are on one
18:23in Las Vegas
18:25certainly going to be one of the biggest matchups
18:26we've seen in quite some time
18:28between Obafemi and Brock Lesnar
18:30but right now
18:31Dragon Lee
18:31slips out the back
18:33big connection with that super kick
18:34and Jensen coming right back
18:36big strike exchange right here
18:38Jensen going for it all
18:40well that was a nasty gnarly landing
18:43right into the rope so to speak
18:45and Brooks Jensen's hurt
18:46Dragon Lee
18:47looking to take full advantage
18:49to be caught heeling to the outside
18:52as the former speed champion
18:54turning it up a few notches right here
18:56much of the delight
18:58of the WWE universe
19:01and now Dragon
19:02looking to capitalize on this offensive attack right now
19:05Dragon certainly wants to find his way to Las Vegas
19:07in a few weeks
19:08and Lee
19:09oh my word
19:12maybe a mistake
19:13right there
19:14as Jensen looking to capitalize right now
19:17and I think that's an attribute
19:18that's not talked about
19:19with Brooks Jensen enough
19:20is his strength
19:21he is sneaky strong
19:23so to speak
19:24with another big right hand
19:26we've certainly seen a few iterations
19:27of Brooks Jensen
19:28throughout NXT and Evolve
19:29this very well could be the best version
19:31of himself right here
19:32whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
19:33looking to turn the corner
19:34maybe for a superplex
19:36out of his comfort zone
19:37a little bit
19:37Dragon has other designs
19:39right
19:39into the trio
19:41whoa
19:43bam
19:45and Dragon
19:46taking full advantage
19:48right here Vic
19:50and Operation Dragon connects
19:53shoots the half
19:54into the cover
19:55and score another
19:57for the future

20:02Dragon
20:04Lee
20:05listen Vic
20:06you have to hand it to Brooks Jensen
20:07certainly pushed Dragon Lee
20:09to the limit
20:09but after a loss
20:10to a pencil
20:11to the Intercontinental Championship
20:12Dragon Lee
20:13back on track
20:14here on main event
20:14certainly was
20:15trying to go through the body
20:16of Brooks Jensen
20:17and when it comes to Dragon Lee
20:20he's so innovative
20:21able to pull Operation Dragon
20:22really out of anywhere
20:23and he showed it here tonight
20:25picking up as you called it
20:26a big win on the road
20:27to Wrestlemania
20:29and I don't want to say
20:30the future of Lucha Libre
20:31the future is now
20:32for Dragon Lee
20:33indeed overcoming
20:34a near 75 pound
20:35weight advantage
20:36in this one
20:36you see Brooks Jensen
20:37showing that frustration
20:38but Dragon Lee
20:40back on track
20:41picking up a win
20:42at the right time
