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.
02:09Snickers satisfies.
02:12And by WWE 2K26.
02:16Available now.
02:17GameSpot is named as one of the best games of 2026.
02:22You don't want to miss out.
02:23Updates include new match types like I Quit and endless fun with new ragdoll physics.
02:29Jump in today.
02:31WWE 2K26.
02:32This show never stops.
02:52And there a moment.
03:00And this is a duo that has had tag team success, still looking for taste of singles gold, and
03:08this 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
03:21hands full each and every week.
03:24You 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
03:34for the WWE tag team title, so this is a chance for them to kind of get their minds right,
03:38get their minds back in the game.
03:40You know, we talk about the Intercontinental title specifically with Apollo Crews and Matt Cardona.
03:44Matt Cardona, of course, won his Intercontinental Championship in a ladder match on the grandest
03:50stage of them all, WrestleMania.
03:52And who else also won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania?
03:57Apollo Crews.
03:58There you have it.
03:58That's the connection thread we were trying to make earlier, Byron, because both these
04:02men have big time experience, big match experience, and you kind of hinted to this.
04:08Maybe they just needed each other to take that next step, and I mean obviously their career
04:13paths have gone separate ways.
04:14Matt 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
04:22in their mind about this business that it could help both of them grow.
04:27And that also goes to this matchup because if Fraxium is able to knock these two men off,
04:31then you're talking about, well, we just beat a pair of former United States Intercontinental Champions.
04:35Look at the frightening speed of Nathan Frazier.
04:39And 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.
04:45The telepathic communication between Nathan Frazier and Axiom.
04:49Whoa!
04:53Axiom following up.
04:54And you talk about that speed.
04:56Look at this.
04:56And you talk about working together.
04:58They have been a team all the way back.
04:59Again?
05:00In NXT.
05:01And this is that pace they like to keep every time they're out here.
05:05Speed, speed, and guess what Byron?
05:08More speed.
05:09And 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.
05:22You know, but you think about Fraxium and you think about that tag team picture we're talking about on SmackDown.
05:27What is next for Frazier and Axiom?
05:29Look, I always say this.
05:31If you've been to the top of the mountain, it's so much harder to get back there.
05:35Fraxium has been there.
05:36They've had the gold around their waist.
05:37But the complexion of the tag team division is always changing.
05:41So for that, Axiom and Nathan Fraser have to think, what can we change about our style?
05:46Not that there's a flaw, but what can you add to continue to throw your opponents off?
05:50Tag was made.
05:51Matt Cardona, who has had.
05:53Ooh!
05:53Man!
05:54Coming in hot.
05:55At the tag team level, into another cover, hook of the leg, and another near fall.
05:58One tag team gold also at WrestleMania.
06:00But for Matt Cardona, do you have more of an appreciation for this man?
06:05You'll have an appreciation if you look at what Matt Cardona's gone through in his career.
06:08Pre-return, post-return.
06:11This is a man who claims he's always ready, but it's actually in life motto.
06:15Oh, that reboot.
06:16No matter what the opportunity is, no matter what the obstacle is, Matt Cardona always finds a way to survive.
06:22He certainly does, and it's interesting, because now Cardona into the cover and a kick out.
06:27You know, being here on YouTube, you go back to, you know, how many years ago was it?
06:31Matt Cardona was really the first pioneer of what became YouTube, so to speak, when it comes to wrestling.
06:39Or 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 Crews, someone who has been athletically gifted, but you've seen a different side of this
06:53man.
06:53Gone is the smile, gone is the just happy to be here, the happy-go-lucky, let me do everything
06:59you want.
06:59And he knows that right now, he's going to start picking up wins to have another one, to possibly call
07:04him some world champion.
07:06Off the splash into the cover and a kick out.
07:08The thing about Apollo Crews, he was on the shelf for a year with a torn pectoral muscle.
07:13When you sit at home that long, you go through different stages.
07:15You enjoy being around the family, you let your body recover, but then you start to get the itch.
07:21And you see new names rising to the top, new names 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 dropkick and pivotal point in this matchup for both these teams.
07:34It's been a huge week in the WWE, going back to everything that transpired this past Monday on RAW.
07:40To Booker T Appreciation Night in Houston for NXT.
07:44Is Matt Cardona able to just get there at the last possible moment?
07:48But also, Axiom who's reached out, trying to fight back.
07:50Axiom reaching out one more time, so close.
07:52Sants with another right, Cardona.
07:54Big shot under the jaw.
07:56Axiom rocked.
07:57And now is a far way away from his partner.
07:59Oh, spoke too soon.
08:01Tag made.
08:02In comes Nathan Frazier.
08:04This is why Matt Cardona was desperately trying to avoid the tag to Nathan Frazier.
08:10To avoid this speed chaos.
08:12Oh.
08:14Say he moves like a blurb.
08:16He strikes like a cobra.
08:17Frazier from the top.
08:18Goes up over Cardona.
08:20Charge it back in and DDT.
08:23Man.
08:24Cardona rocked.
08:25Cover.
08:25Count.
08:26And Apollo Crews saving things.
08:28Also this week, of course this past Monday, it's 316 week.
08:31And I gotta say, Byron, you took one of the most underrated Stone Cold stunners I've ever seen.
08:36And my discos are still traumatized from it.
08:39Little Axiom now.
08:40Putting on the brakes.
08:41Forearm back.
08:42Axiom to the middle turnbuckle.
08:43Gets caught.
08:44And there's that power.
08:45Quickly into the fall away slam for Apollo Crews.
08:48Big knee from Frazier.
08:49Cardona though.
08:50The veteran from behind.
08:52Looking for the win.
08:52It's a near fall.
08:54Back up and, whoa.
08:56Hooked it up and dropped.
08:59Frazier.
08:59This is what we've seen so many times from Frazier in the past.
09:02High power offense.
09:04And now he's gonna put his foot to the gas.
09:07To the top.
09:08Looking to fly.
09:09Just able to land and counter.
09:11Back up and, oh!
09:13Got dropped.
09:16And that is a statement win for Cardona and Crews.
09:21Here are your winners.
09:23Apollo Crews and Matt Cardona!
09:27Cardona saw it coming.
09:29Why, Byron?
09:30Because he's always ready.
09:34And a key point there Vic.
09:36Statement made by a brand new team.
09:39Quick thinking from Matt Cardona.
09:41Quick strike ability.
09:43And good night Nathan Frazier.
09:45And hello to the future of the team of Matt Cardona and Apollo Crews.
09:51What is next for these two?
09:53Because the twists and turns continue as we're on the road to WrestleMania.
10:01In moments NXT upstart Shiloh Hill looks to secure the upset when he faces the arrogant Ozzy Grayson Waller.
10:08These two go one-on-one next on WWE Main Event.

14:03deliver
14:03in St. Louis but he is here tonight the winner of LFG Byron season two making his main event
14:11debut Vic big night for Silo Hill now what does a win do for someone like Shiloh Hill
14:16Silo Hill has already put himself on the map you mentioned winning LFG season two now you come on
14:22the main event you defeat an established superstar like Grayson Waller former tag team champion
14:26former WWE tag team champion that'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 he's
14:38going 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 there Byron
14:47take that back
14:50this is what I love about Shiloh Hill
14:53I mean he's a little unstable he's a kind of guy he can talk to you about quantum physics one
14:57second
14:57and then punch you in the mouth the next
14:58that's very true he's someone who is always always observing rarely acts until it matters
15:04and he doesn't belong to normal systems as you talked about he's uh on the dark web so to speak
15:11and his mind doesn't work like others it's truly a web always processing information
15:16he's processing the attitude of Grayson Waller
15:19Shiloh Hill will go from zero to 100 in a split second
15:23well just over a week ago
15:25he 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
15:35belong to the culling and while he was doing that
15:37he 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
15:42into the cover hook 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 and here's what's maybe a little bit more scary in some
15:51big right hand in some aspects of Shiloh Hill's game
15:55this is someone who has the undertaker on speed dial his coach from LFG
16:00anyone 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
16:10that's a huge honor but that's also a huge bullseye
16:13on the back of Shiloh Hill
16:15running right through Grayson Waller
16:17now showcasing some power with a big body slam
16:21you are right though when it comes to the undertaker
16:23recently went down to Texas
16:25spent the weekend with the undertaker learning
16:27training 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 Grayson Waller is the more experienced superstar here
16:40that was effective
16:42Grayson Waller worrying about us over here
16:44finally turned around and is refocusing on Shiloh
16:48I saw the way you looked at you
16:50now focus in on Shiloh Hill
16:52you 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
17:04to make it to that top tier level
17:06you gotta be a little angry at the world
17:08oh what a nasty elbow right to the side of the ear
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
17:21who has done it all to take an interest in Javon Evans
17:24into the cover hook of the leg and Hill powering out it too
17:26Javon Evans should open his ears
17:28soak in the knowledge much like Grayson Waller's done at this stage of his career
17:32I wonder what Waller then thinks of that
17:35mentorship as he's not like the new kid anymore
17:37with the new day
17:38what are you implying?
17:39that Grayson Waller's in Javon?
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
17:46well Grayson Waller I do notice is out here tonight
17:50for the first time in quite a while
17:51with a little bit of
17:52a little bit more color and a little bit more flair
17:57appears he is no longer mourning the new day
18:00I don't see any black attire on Grayson Waller
18:03there's a tie for mourning
18:04but there's also another season of life where you have to come alive
18:08and that's what Shiloh Hill doing right now
18:11be 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 match up 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
18:34to 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
18:41he's always looked to show up in the biggest spots
18:45including Wrestlemania
18:46oh there he just mocking
18:49The Undertaker but a big elbow
18:51right to the heart
18:52into the cover
18:53hook of the leg
18:54and Shiloh Hill just getting that right shoulder up
18:57what 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
19:06who has been endorsed by The Undertaker
19:11I don't know if Grayson Waller should be
19:13toying around right now with Shiloh Hill
19:15because again Hill does
19:17have that part of his mind
19:19that just is always working
19:21always thinking
19:22always processing
19:23a nice tilt-to-whirl slam for Hill
19:25and this certainly would be an upset
19:28if Shiloh Hill were able to rally in this match
19:31oh without a doubt
19:31this is a major test
19:33as Shiloh Hill
19:33enters the
19:34deep waters here
19:36against Grayson Waller
19:37how do you rebound?
19:39toughest test also

20:01to processing information
20:02always observing
20:04and then finally acting
20:05his mind doesn't work like others
20:07and Shiloh Hill is proving that right now
20:09and Shiloh Hill
