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?

12:59on evolve

13:52and here's a woman from tula julisco méxico weighing in at 165 pounds
14:08we'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 to the intercontinental champion he certainly did
14:16and what a treat we've had here on main event versus ray phoenix now dragon lee and brooks
14:23jensen is in for a tough test tonight dragon lee you may look at this man and say oh lucha
14:28libre
14:28we just talked about it but this is someone who has been toe-to-toe with the likes of clinkler
14:33he
14:33has gone toe-to-toe with the likes of many other larger athletes in the wwe he's held championship
14:40gold in wwe as well for brooks jensen this is going to be a make or break match i do
14:46believe in his
14:47career if you go back to nxt dragon league the time he lost the north american championship against
14:52overfit that is very true and brooks jensen right now locked in on this opportunity he knows how
14:57much is riding on this and brooks jensen is able to pull off a victory tonight he would have to
15:01consider that a massive upset for that individual brooks jensen a former nxt uk tag team champion
15:07but would love to get it done in the singles ranks we're talking about a busy week for brooks jensen
15:11last week a very personal issue last night on evolve with cappuccino jones looking to finish this week
15:16on a high note well you know anytime you have a bad taste in your mouth the best thing to
15:21do is to get
15:21back in the ring and compete try to get that out and i thought we're going to get a clean
15:25break but 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 limit
15:36very impressive for the intercontinental championship last week on raw it certainly was and penta right
15:41now has all comers coming from every different angle whether it's dragon lee whether it's someone
15:46like dominic mysterio and all the way to the outside lee is surprised at what's going on but as i
15:51mentioned for brooks jensen this could be that match that sends him into a new stratosphere you
15:57got to imagine if he's able to knock off dragon lee maybe he gets a phone call from adam pierce
16:01maybe
16:01he gets a phone call for someone like nick aldus because he's in there right now bringing it to lee
16:06certainly an opportunity that brooks jensen wants to exploit right here the bigger superstar against dragon
16:12lee as jensen goes for a big swipe and look at the athleticism and quickness of the future of lucha
16:18libre now dragon lee better not take too much time looking at the wb universe he better keep his foot
16:23on the gas in this match a nice combination offense from lee goes trace and a big connection there with
16:29brooks 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 we
16:45learned 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
17:08to be for evolve big how has he ultimately grown in that role i i think he just learns every
17:13time he gets
17:14into a match this is definitely a student of the game in the performance center he's always watching
17:18and studying 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
17:31the game in all of wwe than the second generation star in brooks jensen there may not be and that
17:36was
17:36a textbook belly to back into the cover right the center of the ring referee eddie rengo says it's only
17:41two
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
18:23one in las vegas certainly going to be one of the biggest matchups we've seen in quite some time
18:28between obafemi and brock lesnar but right now dragon lee slips out the back big connection with
18:33that super kick and jensen coming right back big strike exchange right here jensen going for it all
18:40well that 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 into the
19:55cover and score another for the future of lucha libre here's your winner dragon
20:05lee this is a big you have to hand it to brooks jensen certainly pushed dragon lee to the limit
20:09but after a loss to a pencil to the intercontinental championship dragon lee back on track here on main
20:14event certainly was trying to go through the body of brooks jensen and when it comes to dragon lee he's
20:20so
20:20innovative able to pull operation dragon really out of anywhere and he showed it here tonight picking up as
20:26you call it a big win on the road to wrestlemania and i don't want to say the future of
20:30lucha libre the
20:31future is now for dragon lee indeed overcoming a near 75 pound weight advantage of this one you see
20:37brooks jensen showing that frustration but dragon lee back on track picking up a win at the right time just
20:43a few
20:43two weeks before las vegas and a wrestlemania weekend
20:50you
