01:25A man who claims he is always ready, Vic.

02:31WWE 2K26.
02:32The show never stops.
02:35The show never stops.
02:35And now it's all, we stack it up.
02:37Racking on to the maximum.
02:39Say it out loud.
02:40We're racing you.
02:41Passionate.
02:42We're baseball.
02:43Street overages where we're from.
02:45The test start counting on.
02:47Your time is over.
02:48It's wrapping you up.
02:52And there a moment.
02:54Axiom and Nathan Frazer.
02:57Praxia!
03:00and this is a duo that has had tag team success still looking for taste of singles gold
03:07and this as we mentioned is a marquee battle in what has become a very cloudy tag team division
03:14in the wwe specifically here on smackdown where general manager nick aldis has his hands full
03:22each and every week you best believe if you're fraxium coming off that unfortunate loss
03:28in that tag team turmoil match it very well could have been fraxium walking around as number one
03:33contenders for the wwe tag team title so this is a chance for them to kind of get their minds
03:38right
03:38get their minds back in the game you know we talk about the intercontinental title specifically with
03:42apollo cruz and matt cardona matt cardona of course won his intercontinental championship in a ladder
03:49match on the grandest stage of them all wrestlemania and who else also won the intercontinental
03:55championship at wrestlemania apollo cruz there you have it that's the connection thread we were
04:00trying to make earlier byron because both these men have big time experience big match experience
04:06and you kind of hinted to this maybe they just needed each other to take that next step and i
04:11mean obviously their career paths have gone separate ways matt cardona has come back to the
04:16wwe recently apollo cruz has been sidelined a few times with injury but together they have so much
04:22in their mind about this business that it could help both of them grow and that also goes to this
04:27matchup because if fraxium is able to knock these two men off then you're talking about well we just
04:32beat a pair of former united states intercontinental champions look at the frightening speed of nathan
04:38frazier and listen here's the thing that matt cardona and apollo cruz are going to have their hands full with
04:43that's the experience of fraxium the telepathic communication between nathan frazier and axiom
04:49whoa
04:53axiom following up and you talk about that speed look at this and you talk about working together
04:58they have been a team all the way back again in nxt and this is that pace they like to
05:03keep every time
05:04we're out here speed speed and guess what byron more speed and that speed overwhelms your opponents i don't
05:12care who they are established team or not it's extremely difficult to come back from i springboard
05:18into the cover hook of the leg and a quick kick out off that double axe handle you know but
05:22you think
05:22about fraxium and you think about that tag team picture we're talking about on smackdown what is
05:27next for frazier and axiom i always say this if you've been to the top of the mountain it's so
05:33much
05:33harder to get back there fraxium has been there they've had the gold around their waist but the
05:38complexion of the tag team division is always changing so for that axiom and nathan fraser have
05:43to think what can we change about our style not that there's a flaw but what can you add to
05:48continue
05:49to throw your opponents off tag was made matt cardona who has been oh man coming in hot at the
05:55tag team level into another cover hook of the leg and another near fall one tag team gold also at
06:00wrestlemania but for matt cardona do you have more of an appreciation for this man you'll have an
06:05appreciation if you look at what matt cardona's gone through in his career pre-return post-return
06:11this is a man who claims he's always ready but it's actually in life model that reboot no matter
06:16what the opportunity is no matter what the obstacle is matt cardona always finds a way to survive he
06:23certainly does and it's interesting is now cardona into the cover and a kick out you know being here on
06:28youtube you go back to you know how many years ago was it matt cardona was really the first pioneer
06:34of
06:35what became youtube so to speak when it comes to wrestling and that's why we're sports entertainment
06:40that's why there's so much respect on the name of matt cardona inside the ring and out of it
06:46and the match now apollo cruz someone who has been athletically gifted but you've seen a different
06:52side of this man gone is the smile gone is the just happy to be here the happy-go-lucky
06:58let me do
06:59everything you want he knows that right now he's going to start picking up wins to have another one to
07:04possibly call him some world champion off the splash into the cover and a kick out thinking
07:08about apollo cruz he was on the shelf for a year with a torn pectoral muscle when you sit at
07:14home
07:14that long you go through different stages you enjoy being around the family you let your body recover
07:18but then you start to get the itch and you see new names rising to the top names getting the
07:24spotlight
07:24and it becomes an insane state of existence because you want to be back and you want to be part
07:29of it
07:30nice drop kick and pivotal point in this matchup for both these teams it's been a huge week in the
07:36wwe going back to everything that transpired this past monday on raw to booker t appreciation night
07:42in houston for nxt is matt cardona able to just get there at the last possible moment but also
07:48axiom who's reached out trying to fight back axiom reaching out one more time so close answer with
07:53another red cardona big shot under the jaw axiom rock and now is a far way away from his partner
07:59oh
08:00spoke too soon tag made in comes nathan fraser this is why matt cardona was desperately trying to avoid
08:08the tag to nathan fraser to avoid this speed chaos oh say moves like a blurb he strikes like a
08:17cobra

12:17on espn
12:45Is it time, Byron, for this man to step up in the absence of Xavier Woods for the New
12:52Day? Oh, I think he is. Look at Grayson Waller. Look at how he's transformed his physique, transformed
12:59his attitude. A more vibrant look that we've seen in a long time. I like the trajectory of Grayson Waller.
13:08Waller's set for competition here tonight. Of course, we're on YouTube with Main Event. Been so
13:13for several weeks. And the big news broke recently that Stan and Deliver will be here on YouTube on
13:19April the 4th. You know what that means, Vic? A new home to watch the future. The future
13:23main eventers of Monday Night Raw. The future main eventers of Friday Night SmackDown. And
13:27the future main eventers of WrestleMania. Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks.
13:55This man was a few rungs away about a month ago from becoming the NXT champion, possibly headlining. Stand and
14:03deliver in St. Louis. But he is here tonight. The winner of LFG Byron Season 2. Making his
14:10main event debut big. Big night for Shiloh Hill. Now, what does a win do for someone like Shiloh
14:16Hill? Well, Shiloh Hill has already put himself on the map. You mentioned winning LFG Season 2. Now
14:21you come on the main event. You defeat an established superstar like Grayson Waller. Former tag team
14:26champion. Former WWE tag team champion. That's just more fuel for the fire of Shiloh Hill. There you see
14:32Grayson Waller already kind of raising his eyebrows to his opponent here tonight. He's going to be in
14:38for a fight if you've never seen Shiloh Hill inside the ring. Oh, come on. There's always room for
14:56quantum physics one second and then punching them out the next. That's very true. He's someone who is
15:00always, always observing. Rarely acts until it matters. And he doesn't belong to normal systems
15:07as you talked about. He's on the dark web, so to speak. And his mind doesn't work like others. It's
15:13truly a web always processing information. He's processing the attitude of Grayson Waller.
15:19Shiloh Hill will go from 0 to 100 in a split second. Well, just over a week ago, he started
15:26taking
15:26cars apart at the Performance Center in the parking lot. Took three days to put everything back
15:31together. He dismembered a row of cars because he was trying to figure out which vehicles belong to
15:35the Culling Inn. And while he was doing that, he actually took the wheels off the car of Shawn Michaels.
15:40Well, the mistakes happen. I actually meant to ask him if he could... Oh, end of the cover. Hook of
15:44the leg in a near
15:44fall. I think he could rotate my tires one of these days. He is an interesting individual. And here's
15:49what's maybe a little bit more scary in some... Oh, big right hand. In some aspects of Shiloh
15:55Hill's game. This is someone who has The Undertaker on speed dial, his coach from LFG.
16:00Anyone who has followed the career of the dead man, he is one of the hardest individuals to earn
16:06the respect of. So to know that The Undertaker has put his stamp of approval on Shiloh Hill,
16:11that's a huge honor, but that's also a huge bullseye. Oh, on the back of Shiloh Hill.
16:15Hill running right through. Grayson Waller now showcasing some power with a big body slam.
16:21You are right, though, when it comes to The Undertaker. He recently went down to Texas,
16:25spent the weekend with The Undertaker, learning, training, trying to apply those skills here
16:29tonight. But Waller with a big right hand, changing the complexion of this match.
16:34Despite the endorsement, remember, Grayson Waller is the more experienced superstar here.
16:42Grayson Waller worrying about us over here. Finally turned around and is refocusing on Shiloh.
16:48I saw the way you looked at you.
16:50Now focused in on Shiloh Hill. And you know this about Grayson Waller.
16:56He will not be a stepping stone for anyone. And you have to have that chip on your shoulder
17:00if you're Grayson Waller. That's the key to success, really, for any WWE superstar to make
17:05it to that top-tier level. You've got to be a little angry at the world.
17:08Oh, what a nasty elbow right to the side of the air. And I'd love to know your thoughts on
17:13Kofi Kingston giving advice to the young OG, Javon Evans.
17:19For a superstar like Kofi Kingston, who has seen it all, who has done it all, to take
17:23an interest in Javon Evans. Into the cover, hook of the leg, and Hill powering out at
17:26two. I think Javon Evans should open his ears. Soak in the knowledge, much like Grayson
17:30Waller's done at this stage of his career. I wonder what Waller then thinks of that
17:35mentorship, as he's not like the new kid anymore with the new day. What are you implying?
17:39Grayson Waller's a gentleman? I'm just asking. I mean, maybe you're on to more than I am.
17:43Well, the tone of your voice is indicating that. I'm sure Grayson Waller would love to hear
17:46your opinion. Well, Grayson Waller, I do notice, is out here tonight for the first time in
17:51quite a while. With a little bit of... A little bit more color and a little bit more
17:57flair. Appears he is no longer mourning the new day. I don't see any black attire on Grayson
18:03Waller. There's a tie for mourning, but there's also another season of life where you have to
18:07come alive. And that's what Shiloh Hill doing right now. He had a mission to prove to the
18:13world just how good you are. Ooh, what a jumping knee, catching Hill right underneath the jaw.
18:19And now, Grayson Waller trying to slow this matchup back down.
18:23I'm the most underrated guy in the company!
18:25And there you go. The most underrated guy in the company, according to Grayson Waller. There's
18:30the chip we talked about. There's the motivation every single week for Grayson Waller to prove
18:35that he should get more recognition in WWE.
18:37Look, I have never doubted that, that what this man has done. He's always had the viral
18:41moment. He's always looked to show up in the biggest spots, including Wrestlemania.
18:47Oh, there he just mocking. The Undertaker, but a big elbow right to the heart, into the
18:53cover, hook of the leg, and Shiloh Hill just getting that right shoulder up.
18:57What did I tell you earlier about the bullseye on Shiloh Hill? It is bragging rights for Grayson
19:02Waller to come out here, nearly pin the shoulders of the superstar who has been endorsed by The
19:08Undertaker.
19:11I don't know if Grayson Waller should be toying around right now with Shiloh Hill, because
19:16again, Hill does have that part of his mind that just is always working, always thinking,
19:22always processing a nice tilt-to-whirl slam for Hill. And this certainly would be an upset
19:28if Shiloh Hill were able to rally in this match. Oh, without a doubt. This is a major test as
19:33Shiloh
19:33Hill enters the deep waters here against Grayson Waller. How do you rebound? Toughest test also.
19:40Shiloh Hill's career in here with someone, as you mentioned, has won championships, has been at
19:44Wrestlemania, and Shiloh Hill overpowering one more time. Charging in, got caught, big elbow, and woof.
19:52What a landing for Hill, as Waller to the outside. Uh-oh. Bam!
19:57What the whore?
19:59Again, it goes back to processing information, always observing, and then finally acting.
20:05His mind doesn't work like others, and Shiloh Hill is proving that right now.
20:10And Shiloh Hill, well, that looked awfully familiar, did it not?
20:14Very familiar.
20:15Big leg drop. Hill tried this earlier, didn't pay off. This time it did. Big flying clothesline.
20:28Innovative offense. Do we have it upset? And Waller kicks out. I don't think we saw The Undertaker do
20:36that much innovation on Matt. It's a remix, you know.
20:42Shiloh Hill now going deep into the playbook in this matchup.
20:45You gotta wonder what everyone else thinking right now, also in NXT watching this.
20:50There's a victory. Oh, wait a minute. Great job by our camera crew.
20:54Grayson Waller just ripped at the face.
20:57You know, Waller's never shy about cutting corners if it means an advantage for him.
21:00And it, bam, may mean a victory. Yeah, you can say that again. And Waller picks up the victory on
21:07main event.
21:09Here is your winner, Grayson Waller.
21:14And I'm sure that feels good for the arrogant Aussie to pick up a victory over Shiloh Hill.
21:22If you ask Grayson Waller, I'm sure he'll tell you he did what he was expected to do against an
21:27ultra-game Shiloh Hill.
21:29Certainly he was. Flying through the air. Innovative offense. Shiloh Hill brought his best tonight.
21:35But for Grayson Waller, this was the turning point.
21:38Break of the face right into the eyes.
21:41Blinding Shiloh Hill and then opening, bam, that door to close this match shut was Grayson Waller.
21:49Color me impressive with the performance of Grayson Waller this week on main event.
21:55I promise you right. Well, we all just felt the Grayson Waller effect.
