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.

13:53and he's a opponent from Tullahalisco Mexico
13:58weighing in at 165 pounds
14:03and here's a opponent from Tullahalisco Mexico
14:06Dragon Lee!
14:08We're taking a look at one of the world's most elite luchadors who last week on Raw went toe-to
14:12-toe with another one to the Intercontinental Champion.
14:15He certainly did, and what a treat we've had here on Main Event.
14:19First it was Ray Phoenix, now Dragon Lee, and Brooks Jensen is in for a tough test tonight.
14:25Dragon Lee, you may look at this man and say, oh, lucha libre, we just talked about it.
14:29But this is someone who has been toe-to-toe with the likes of Clifford.
14:33He has gone toe-to-toe with the likes of many other larger athletes in the WWE.
14:38He's held championship gold in WWE as well.
14:42For Brooks Jensen, this is going to be a make-or-break match, I do believe, in his career.
14:47If you go back to NXT, Dragon Lee, the time he lost the North American Championship against Overfit.
14:52That is very true, and Brooks Jensen right now locked in on this opportunity.
14:56He knows how much is riding on this, and Brooks Jensen is able to pull off a victory tonight.
15:01He would have to consider that a massive upset for that individual.
15:05Brooks Jensen, a former NXT UK Tag Team Champion, but would love to get it done in the singles ranks.
15:10We're talking about a busy week for Brooks Jensen last week.
15:12A very personal issue last night on Evolve with Cappuccino Jones.
15:16Looking to finish this week on a high note.
15:18Well, you know, anytime you have a bad taste in your mouth,
15:20the best thing to do is to get back in the ring and compete, try to get that out.
15:24And I thought we were going to get a clean break, but big right hand from Brooks.
15:28As the throwback from Ranburn, Alabama, looking to make this one personal against Dragon Lee.
15:33And we talked about getting back on track.
15:35Of course, Dragon pushing Penta the limit.
15:37Very impressive for the Intercontinental Championship last week on Raw.
15:39It certainly was, and Penta right now has all comers coming from every different angle,
15:44whether it's Dragon Lee, whether it's someone like Dominic Mysterio,
15:47and 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.
15:57You've got to imagine, if 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 from someone like Nick Aldis.
16:04Because he's in there right now, bringing it to Lee.
16:06Certainly an opportunity that Brooks 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 of the future of Lucha Libre.
16:19Now, Dragon Lee better not take too much time looking 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 at 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, Demolition, Dennis Rodman.
16:45And as we learned earlier this week, Sid.
16:48A star-studded class indeed as Brooks Jensen heads up, moving ahead to the outside.
16:52As Jensen might look to follow.
16:53Dragon back in!
16:54And turns him inside out with 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 over the last year or so.
17:06Has really become a big fixture on Wednesday nights on 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.
17:17In the Performance Center, he's always watching and studying matches from every different era.
17:22Every different genre, trying to be a fully rounded superstar here in the WWE.
17:29And you bring up a great point.
17:30I mean, is there really a bigger student of the game in all of WWE than the second generation star
17:34in Brooks Jensen?
17:35There may not be, and that was a textbook belly to back.
17:38Into the cover, right in the center of the ring.
17:40Jeffrey Eddie Rango says it's only two.
17:43Jensen right back in.
17:44And I want to get into Brooks Jensen because he's also looking for an opportunity in this matchup
17:48to possibly be a late addition to Stand and Deliver, which will be April the 4th, streaming live right here
17:54on 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, 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.
18:09But how about Brock Lesnar back on Raw?
18:11None too pleased with the actions of Obafemi just a week ago.
18:14Probably not happy with what happened this past week on Raw either.
18:18Got knocked right out of the ring in a hurry by Obafemi.
18:21You talk about a collision course.
18:22Those 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 Obafemi and Brock Lesnar.
18:30But right now, Dragon Lee!
18:32Slips out the back.
18:33Big connection with that super kick.
18:34And Jensen coming right back.
18:36Big strike exchange right here.
18:39Jensen going for it all!
18:41Well, that was a nasty, gnarly landing right into the rope, so to speak.
18:45And Brooks Jensen's hurt, Dragon Lee.
18:47Looking to take full advantage.
18:50To be caught!
18:51Heal-o to the outside!
18:52As the former Speed Champion turning it up a few notches right here.
18:57Much of the delight of the WWE Universe.
19:01And now Dragon looking to capitalize on this offensive attack right now.
19:05Dragon certainly wants to find his way to Las Vegas in a few weeks.
19:08And Lee!
19:09Oh, my word!
19:13Maybe a mistake right there!
19:15As Jensen looking to capitalize right now.
19:17And I think that's an attribute that's not talked about with Brooks Jensen enough is his strength.
19:21He is sneaky strong, so to speak.
19:24With another big right hand.
19:26We've certainly seen a few iterations of Brooks Jensen throughout NXT and Evolve.
19:29This very well could be the best version of 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 a little bit.
19:37Dragon has other designs right into the trio!
19:43Bam!
19:44And Dragon taking full advantage right here, Vic.
19:50And Operation Dragon connects!
19:53Shoots the half.
19:54Into the cover!
19:56And score another for the future of Lucha Libre!
20:00Here's your winner, Dragon Lee!
20:05Listen, Vic, you have to hand it to Brooks Jensen.
20:07Certainly 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 Event.
20:15Certainly was trying to go through the body of Brooks Jensen.
20:18And when it comes to Dragon Lee, he's so innovative, able to pull Operation Dragon really out of anywhere.
20:23And he showed it here tonight, picking up, as you call it, a big win on the road to WrestleMania.
20:29And I don't want to say the future of Lucha Libre.
20:31The future is now for Dragon Lee.
20:33Indeed, overcoming a near 75-pound weight advantage of this one.
20:37You see Brooks Jensen showing that frustration.
20:39But Dragon Lee back on track, picking up a win at the right time just a few weeks before Las
20:45Vegas and WrestleMania weekend.
