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.
01:22Let's go.
01:22Oh, my God.
01:25Oh, my God.
01:55From a kepty-picked 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 in here, Blake Howard alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph, gearing up for a huge
02:21week in the Big Apple.
02:23That certainly is correct. Everything's always bigger in New York City. I cannot wait to get to the world's most
02:29famous 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. Certainly 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, but this year, if he can get back to WrestleMania, he
02:57certainly would look to steal the show.
03:05He's, 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.
03:34And 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, 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.
04:25On 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 well 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 a 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, you know, he teamed with Matt Cardona last week, but we saw on SmackDown this past Friday, the
05:32Voices 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, but Matt Cardona making an example out of him
05:43last Friday on Sunday.
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 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.
06:02Oh, Ray Phoenix makes everything look so fast.
06:04Whiskey, almost unreal.
06:06He's explosive.
06:07He'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, but how about his first
06:21year in the WWE?
06:22Worlds Collide, SummerSlam tag team title opportunity, the 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, because I've talked about it before, and in
07:00the 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 and determined and pick up victory.
07:09He says, 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 of the former Intercontinental United States champion.
07:20You're talking about Ray Phoenix, and this 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, with high-speed, high-octane offense, he totally feels like
07:34he'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.
07:51There's that power.
07:52And from a deadlift position into the German suplex, but 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 be a position in 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...
08:30Phoenix 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 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.
09:45Who's going to leave Boston with a much-needed win when these two superstars collide on the road to WrestleMania?
09:52Find out next.
10:04Welcome to my show.
10:11This way.

13:52Fire, fire, fire, fire...
13:54And here's a party.
13:55From Tulang, زco Mexico.
13:58with it 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 didn't
14:16what a treat we've had here on main event versus ray phoenix now dragon lee and brooks jensen is in
14:24for a tough test tonight dragon lee you may look at this man and say oh lucha libre we just
14:28talked
14:29about it but this is someone who has been toe-to-toe with the likes of flicker he has gone
14:33toe-to-toe with the likes of many other larger athletes in the wwe he's held championship gold
14:40in wwe as well for brooks jensen this is going to be a make or break match i do believe
14:46in his career
14:47if you go back to nxt dragon league the time he lost the north american championship against over
14:52fifth 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
15:36limit very impressive for the intercontinental championship last week on raw it certainly was
15:40and penta right now has all comers coming from every different angle whether it's dragon lee whether
15:45it's someone like dominic mysterio and 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
15:56you got to imagine if he's able to knock off dragon lee maybe he gets a phone call from adam
16:01pierce
16:01maybe he gets a phone call for someone like nick aldis because he's in there right now bringing it to
16:06lee
16:06certainly an opportunity that brooks jensen wants to exploit right here the bigger superstar against dragon lee
16:13as jensen goes for a big swipe and look at the athleticism and quickness
16:16of the future of lucha libre dragon lee better not take too much time looking at the wb universe
16:22he better keep his foot on the gas in this match a nice combination offense from lee
16:26dose trace and a big connection there with brooks jensen of course dragon lee riding high
16:31at that incredible run with the world tag team championships with soon to be hall of
16:35famer the phenomenal aj style i can't wait to see aj styles get inducted into this year's
16:40hall of fame class along with stephan mcmahon demolition dennis rodman and as we learned earlier this
16:46week 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
17:03and taking a look at brooks jensen over the last year or so has really become a big fixture on
17:07wednesday nights on tubi for evolve big how has he ultimately grown in that role i i think he just
17:13learns every time he gets into a match this is definitely a student of the game in the performance
17:17center he's always watching and studying matches from every different era every different genre
17:23trying to be a fully rounded superstar here in the wwe and you bring up a great point i mean
17:30is there
17:30really a bigger student of the game in all of wwe than the second generation star in brooks jensen
17:35there may not be and that was a textbook belly to back into the cover right in the center of
17:39the ring
17:39and every eddie rengo says it's only two jensen right back in and then and i want to get into
17:45brooks jensen because he's also looking for an opportunity in this matchup to possibly
17:48be a late addition to stand and deliver which will be april the 4th streaming live right here
17:54on youtube it's nxt's biggest night of the year we'll be live in st louis great way to kick off
18:00the month of april just a couple of weeks before wrestlemania weekend and of course we look at brooks
18:05jensen having a bit of a chip on his shoulder right here against dragon lee but how about brock
18:10lesnar back on raw none too pleased with the actions of obafemi probably not happy with that
18:16what happened this past week on raw either got knocked right out of the ring in a hurry by obafemi
18:21you talk about a collision course those two are on one in las vegas certainly going to be one of
18:26the
18:26biggest matchups we've seen in quite some time between obafemi and brock lesnar but right now
18:31dragon lee slips out the back big connection with that super kick and jensen coming right back
18:36big strike exchange right here jensen going for it all well that was a nasty gnarly landing right
18:43into the rope so to speak and brooks jensen's hurt dragon leaf looking to take full advantage
18:49two bacon helo to the outside as the former speed champion turning it up a few notches right here
18:56much of the delight of the wwe universe and now dragon looking to capitalize on this offensive
19:04attack 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 that's
19:18an attribute that's not talked about with brooks jensen enough is his strength he is sneaky strong so to
19:23speak with another big right hand we've certainly seen a few iterations of brooks jensen throughout
19:28nxt and evolve this very well could be the best version of himself right here oh whoa whoa whoa whoa
19:33looking to turn the corner maybe for a superplex out of his comfort zone a little bit dragon has other
19:38designs right into the trio whoa
19:44and 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
20:00here's your winner dragon lee
20:05listen vic you have to hand it to brooks jensen certainly pushed dragon lee to the limit but after a
20:10loss to a pencil to the intercontinental championship dragon lee back on track here on main event certainly
20:15was trying to go through the body of brooks jensen and when it comes to dragon lee he's so innovative
20:21able to pull operation dragon really out of anywhere and he showed it here tonight picking up as you
20:26called it a big win on the road to wrestlemania and i don't want to say the future of lucha
20:31libre
20:31the future 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
20:43just a few weeks before las vegas and wrestlemania weekend
