00:10Then, now, forever,
00:28Together.
01:12The road to WrestleMania continues tonight.
01:16Welcome to Main Event.
01:25A man who claims he is always ready, Vic.
01:30And how about the backup for Cardona tonight?
01:43The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:47Introducing first with a combined weight of 455 pounds.
01:52Matt Tardona and Apollo Crews.
02:05WrestleMania 42 is presented by Snickers.

02:29Jump in today.
02:31WWE 2K26.
02:32The show never stops.
02:35The count all we stacking up.
02:37Racking up to the maximum.
02:39Say it out loud, we faxing up.
02:41Fashing up, we faxing up.
02:43Street for ages, where we're from.
02:45The text or counting on.
02:47Your time is over.
02:48It's a-raxing up.
02:52And Merrimdon, Axiom, and Nathan Fraser.
03:00and this is a duo that has had tag team success still looking for taste of singles gold and this
03:08as we mentioned is a marquee battle in what has become a very cloudy tag team division in the
03:15WWE specifically here on SmackDown where General Manager Nick Aldis has his hands full each and
03:23every week you best believe if you're Fraxium coming off that unfortunate loss in that tag team
03:29turmoil match it very well could have been Fraxium walking around as number one contender for the WWE
03:34tag team title so this is a chance for them to kind of get their minds right get their minds
03:39back
03:39in the game you know we talk about the intercontinental title specifically with Apollo Crews and
03:43Matt Cardona Matt Cardona of course won his intercontinental championship in a ladder match
03:49on the grandest stage of them all Wrestlemania and who else also won the intercontinental
03:55championship at Wrestlemania Apollo Crews 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 and
04:06you kind of hinted to this maybe they just needed each other to take that next step and I mean
04:11obviously their career paths have gone separate ways Matt Cardona has come back to the WWE recently
04:17Apollo Crews has been sidelined a few times with injury but together they have so much in their
04:23mind about this business that it could help both of them grow and that also goes to this matchup
04:28because if Fraxium is able to knock these two men off then you're talking about well we just beat a
04:33pair 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 Crews 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
05:04they're out here speed speed and guess what Byron more speed and that speed overwhelms your opponents
05:12I don't care who they are established team or not it's extremely difficult to come back from
05:17nice springboard into the cover hook of the leg and a quick kick out off that double axe handle
05:21you know but you think about Fraxium and you think about that tag team picture we're talking about on
05:26Smackdown what is next for Frazier and Axiom I always say this if you've been to the top of the
05:32mountain it's so much harder to get back there Fraxium has been there they've had the gold around their
05:37waist but the complexion of the tag team division is always changing so for that Axiom and Nathan
05:43Frazier have to think what can we change about our style not that there's a flaw but what can you
05:48add
05:48to continue to throw your opponents off tag was made Matt Cardona who has been coming in hot at
05:55the tag team level into another cover hook of the leg and another near fall one tag team gold also
05:59at
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 this
06:11is a man who claims he's always ready but it's actually in life model that reboot no matter what the
06:17opportunity is no matter what the obstacle is Matt Cardona always finds a way to survive he certainly
06:23does and it's interesting is now Cardona into the cover and a kick out you know being here on YouTube
06:29you go back to you know how many years ago was it Matt Cardona was really the first pioneer of
06:35what
06:35became YouTube so to speak when it comes to wrestling and that's why we're sports entertainment that's why
06:41there's so much respect on the name of Matt Cardona inside the ring and out of it
06:47and the match now Apollo Crews 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
07:03to possibly call him some world champion off the splash into the cover and a kick out
07:08think about Apollo Crews he was on the shelf for a year with a torn pectoral muscle when you sit
07:13at home
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 getting the spotlight
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

12:53Oh, I think he is.
12:54Look at Grayson Waller.
12:56Look at how he's transformed his physique, transformed his attitude.
13:00A more vibrant look that we've seen in a long time.
13:03I like the trajectory of Grayson Waller.
13:07Well, Waller's set for competition here tonight.
13:10And, of course, we're on YouTube with Main Event.
13:13Been so for several weeks.
13:14And the big news broke recently that Stan and Deliver will be here on YouTube on April the 4th.
13:20You know what that means, Vic?
13:21A new home to watch the future.
13:23The future Main Eventers of Monday Night Raw.
13:25The future Main Eventers of Friday Night SmackDown.
13:27And the future Main Eventers of WrestleMania.
13:31Couldn't have said it better myself.
13:33Thanks.
13:43And his opponent from Northfield, New Hampshire.
13:47We're here for 252 pounds.
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.
14:04But he is here tonight.
14:05The winner of LFG Byron Season 2.
14:09Making his Main Event debut big night for Shiloh Hill.
14:14Now, what does a win do for someone like Shiloh Hill?
14:17Well, Shiloh Hill has already put himself on the map.
14:19You mentioned winning LFG Season 2.
14:21Now you come on the Main Event.
14:22You defeat an established superstar like Grayson Waller.
14:25Former tag team champion.
14:27Former WWE tag team champion.
14:29That's just more fuel for the fire of Shiloh Hill.
14:32There you see Grayson Waller already kind of raising his eyebrows to his opponent here tonight.
14:37He's going to be in for a fight if you've never seen Shiloh Hill inside the ring.
14:43Oh, come on.
14:44There's always room for sportsmanship.
14:46Yeah, where's the sportsmanship?
14:47There, Byron.
14:48Take that back.
14:50This is what I love about Shiloh Hill.
14:53I mean, he's a little unstable.
14:54He's the kind of guy who can talk to you about quantum physics one second and then punch you in
14:58the mouth the next.
14:58That's very true.
15:00He's someone who is always, always observing.
15:02Rarely acts until it matters.
15:04And he doesn't belong to normal systems as you talked about.
15:08He's on the dark web, so to speak.
15:11And his mind doesn't work like others.
15:13It's truly a web always processing information.
15:17He's processing the attitude of Grayson Waller.
15:19Shiloh Hill will go from 0 to 100 in a split second.
15:23Well, just over a week ago, he started taking cars apart at the performance center in the parking lot.
15:29Took three days to put everything back together.
15:31He dismembered a row of cars because he was trying to figure out which vehicles belong to the Cullingan.
15:36And while he was doing that, he actually took the wheels off the car of Shawn Michaels.
15:40Well, the mistakes happened.
15:41I actually meant to ask him if he could...
15:43Oh, end of the cover.
15:44Hook of the leg in a near fall.
15:45I think he could rotate my tires one of these days.
15:46He is an interesting individual.
15:48And here's what's maybe a little bit more scary in some...
15:51Oh, big right hand.
15:53In some aspects of Shiloh Hill's game.
15:55This is someone who has The Undertaker on speed dial, his coach from LFG.
16:00Well, look, anyone who has followed the career of the dead man,
16:03he is one of the hardest individuals to earn the respect of.
16:06So 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.
16:13Oh, on the back of Shiloh Hill.
16:15Hill running right through.
16:16Grayson Waller now showcasing some power with a big body slam.
16:21You are right, though, when it comes to The Undertaker.
16:23He recently went down to Texas, spent the weekend with The Undertaker,
16:27learning, training, trying to apply those skills here tonight.
16:30But Waller with a big right hand, changing the complexion of this match.
16:34Despite the endorsement, remember,
16:36Grayson Waller is the more experienced superstar here.
16:41That was effective.
16:42Grayson Waller worrying about us over here.
16:44Grayson Waller finally turned around and is refocusing on Shiloh Hill.
16:48I saw the way you looked at you.
16:50Now focused in on Shiloh Hill.
16:53And you know this about Grayson Waller.
16:56He will not be a stepping stone for anyone.
16:59And you have to have that chip on your shoulder if you're Grayson Waller.
17:01That's the key to success, really, for any WWE superstar to make it to that top tier level.
17:06You've got to be a little angry at the world.
17:08Oh, what a nasty elbow right to the side of the air.
17:11And I'd love to know your thoughts on Kofi 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 an interest
17:23in Javon Evans.
17:24Into the cover, hook of the leg, and Hill powering out it, too.
17:26I mean, Javon Evans should open his ears, soak in the knowledge, much like Grayson Waller's done at this stage
17:31of his career.
17:32I wonder what Waller then thinks of that mentorship as he's not like the new kid anymore with the new
17:38day.
17:38What are you implying?
17:39Grayson Waller's jealous?
17:40I'm just asking.
17:41I mean, maybe you're on to more than I am.
17:43Well, the tone of your voice is indicating that.
17:45I'm sure Grayson Waller would love to hear your opinion.
17:47Well, Grayson Waller, I do notice, is out here tonight for the first time in quite a while.
17:51With a little bit of a little bit more color and a little bit more flair appears he is no
17:58longer mourning the new day.
18:00I don't see any black attire on Grayson Waller.
18:03There's a tie for mourning, but there's also another season of life where you have to come alive.
18:08And that's what Shiloh Hill doing right now.
18:11Being on a mission to prove to the world just how good you are.
18:15Ooh, what a jumping knee catching Hill right underneath the jaw.
18:18And 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.
18:26The most underrated guy in the company, according to Grayson Waller.
18:30There's the chip we talked about.
18:31There's the motivation every single week for Grayson Waller to prove that he should get more recognition in WWE.
18:37Look, I have never doubted that what this man has done.
18:40He's always had the viral moment.
18:42He's always looked to show up in the biggest spots, including WrestleMania.
18:47Oh, there he's just mocking the Undertaker, but a big elbow right to the heart.
18:52Into the cover.
18:53Hook of the leg.
18:54And Shiloh Hill just getting that right shoulder up.
18:57What did I tell you earlier about the bullseye on Shiloh Hill?
19:00It is bragging rights for Grayson Waller to come out here,
19:03nearly pin the shoulders of the superstar who has been endorsed by the Undertaker.
19:11I don't know if Grayson Waller should be toying around right now with Shiloh Hill
19:15because, again, Hill does have that part of his mind that just is always working,
19:21always thinking, always processing a nice tilt-to-whirl slam for Hill.
19:26And this certainly would be an upset if Shiloh Hill were able to rally in this match.
19:31Without a doubt, this is a major test.
19:33As Shiloh Hill enters the deep waters here against Grayson Waller, how do you rebound?
19:39Toughest test also.
19:40Shiloh Hill's career in here with someone, as you mentioned,
19:43has won championships, has been at WrestleMania.
19:45And Shiloh Hill overpowering one more time.
19:48Charging in.
19:49Got caught.
19:50Big elbow.
19:52And woof.
19:52What a landing for Hill as Waller to the outside.
19:56Uh-oh.
19:57Bam!
19:57What the word?
19:59Again, it goes back to processing information, always observing,
20:04and then finally acting.
20:05His mind doesn't work like others, and Shiloh Hill is proving that right now.
20:10And Shiloh Hill.
20:11Well, that looked awfully familiar, did it not?
20:14Very familiar.
20:16Big leg drop.
20:17Hill tried this earlier, didn't pay off.
20:20This time it did.
20:22Big flying clothesline.
20:28Innovative offense.
20:29Do we have it upset?
20:31And Waller kicks out.
20:34I don't think we saw The Undertaker do that much innovation on Matt.
20:38It's a remix, you know?
20:42Shiloh Hill now going deep into the playbook in this matchup.
20:45You got to wonder what everyone else thinking right now also in NXT watching this.
20:50There's a victory.
20:50Oh, wait a minute.
20:52Great job by our camera crew.
20:54Grayson Waller just ripped it to face.
20:57You know, Waller's never shy about cutting corners if it means an advantage for him.
21:01And it may mean a victory.
21:02Yeah, you can say that again.
21:04And Waller picks up the victory on main 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 was flying through the air.
21:31Innovative offense.
21:33Shiloh 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.
21:43Bam!
21:44That door to close this match shut was Grayson Waller.
21:48Color me impressive with the performance of Grayson Waller this week on main event.
21:56Well, we all just felt the Grayson Waller effect.
