00:05Then…
00:12Now…
00:23Forever…
01:00I can feel you.
01:01I can't lose.
01:03I can't lose.
01:05I can't lose.
01:07I can hear you.
01:11Always ready.
01:13The road to WrestleMania continues tonight.
01:16Welcome to main event.
01:25The 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.
01:46Introducing first, with a combined weight of 455 pounds, Matt Cardona and Apollo Crews.
02:04WrestleMania 42 is presented by Snickers.
02:09Snickers satisfies.
02:11And by WWE 2K26, available now.
02:17GameSpot is named as one of the best games of 2026.
02:21You don't want to miss out.
02:23Updates include new match types like iQuit and endless fun with new ragdoll physics.
02:29Jump in today, WWE 2K26.
02:32The show never stops.
02:35The countdown's always stacking up, racking up to the maximum.
02:39Say it out loud, we're practicing young.
02:41Passionate, we're backing up.
02:43Street for ages, where we're from.
02:45No, then they start counting on.
02:47Your time is over, it's practicing young.
02:52And their opponent, Axiom and Nathan Frazier, Praxia!
02:59And this is a duo that has had tag team success.
03:04Still 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,
03:19where General Manager Nick Aldis has his hands full each and every week.
03:24You best believe if you're Fraxium coming off that unfortunate loss
03:28in that tag team turmoil match,
03:30it very well could have been Fraxium walking around as number one contender
03:34for the WWE tag team title.
03:35So 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
03:43and Matt Cardona.
03:44Matt Cardona, of course, won his Intercontinental Championship
03:48in a ladder match on the grandest stage of them all,
03:52WrestleMania.
03:52And who else also won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania?
03:57Apollo Crews.
03:57There you have it.
03:58That's the connection thread we were trying to make earlier, Byron,
04:02because both these men have big-time experience,
04:05big match experience.
04:06And you kind of hinted to this.
04:08Maybe they just needed each other to take that next step.
04:11And, I mean, obviously their career paths 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.
04:20But together, they have so much in their mind about this business
04:24that it could help both of them grow.
04:26And that also goes to this matchup,
04:28because if Fraxium is able to knock these two men off,
04:30then you're talking about, well,
04:32we 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
04:42are going to have their hands full with.
04:43That's the experience of Fraxium.
04:45The telepathic communication between Nathan Frazier and Axiom.
04:50Whoa!
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.
05:11I don't care who they are, established team or not,
05:14it's extremely difficult to come back from.
05:17Nice springboard into the cover, hook of the leg,
05:19and a quick kick out off that double axe handle.
05:22You know, but you think about Fraxium
05:24and 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,
05:33it'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 Frazier have to think,
05:44what can we change about our style?
05:46Not that there's a flaw,
05:47but what can you add to continue to throw your opponents off?
05:50Tag was made.
05:51Matt Cardona, who has had a championship success.
05:54Coming in hot.
05:55At the tag team level,
05:56into another cover, hook of the leg,
05:57and another near fall.
05:58One tag team gold also at WrestleMania.
06:01But for Matt Cardona,
06:02do you have more of an appreciation for this man?
06:05You'll have an appreciation
06:06if you look at what Matt Cardona's gone through in his career.
06:09Pre-return, post-return.
06:11This is a man who claims he's always ready,
06:13but it's actually a life motto.
06:15Oh, that reboot.
06:16No matter what the opportunity is,
06:18no matter what the obstacle is,
06:19Matt Cardona always finds a way to survive.
06:22He certainly does,
06:23and it's interesting,
06:24because now Cardona into the cover
06:26and a kick out.
06:27You know, being here on YouTube,
06:29you go back to,
06:30well, how many years ago was it?
06:31Matt Cardona was really the first pioneer
06:34of what became YouTube,
06:37so to speak,
06:37when it comes to wrestling.
06:39And that's why-
06:39Or sports entertainment.
06:40That's why there's so much respect
06:42on the name of Matt Cardona
06:44inside the ring and out of it.
06:47And then that's now Apollo Crews,
06:49someone who has been athletically gifted,
06:51but you've seen a different side of this man.
06:53Gone is the smile.
06:55Gone is the just happy to be here.
06:57The happy-go-lucky,
06:58let me do everything you want.
06:59He knows that right now,
07:01he's going to start picking up wins
07:03to have another one
07:03to possibly call him some world champion.
07:06Off the splash into the cover
07:07and a kick out.
07:08Think about Apollo Crews,
07:09he was on the shelf for a year
07:10with a torn pectoral muscle.
07:13When you sit at home that long,
07:14you go through different stages.
07:15You enjoy being around the family,
07:17you let your body recover,
07:19but then you start to get the itch
07:20and you see new names rising to the top.
07:23New names getting the spotlight
07:24and it becomes an insane state of existence
07:27because you want to be back
07:29and you want to be part of it.
07:30Nice drop kick
07:31and pivotal point in this matchup
07:33for both these teams.
07:34It's been a huge week in the WWE,
07:36going back to everything that transpired
07:38this past Monday on Raw
07:40to Booker T Appreciation Night
07:42in Houston for NXT.
07:43Is Matt Cardona able to just get there
07:46at the last possible moment,
07:48but also Axiom who's reached out,
07:49trying to fight back.
07:50Axiom reaching out one more time,
07:52so close,
07:52answer with another right,
07:53Cardona.
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
08:06was desperately trying to avoid the tag
08:08to Nathan Frazier
08:10to avoid this speed chaos.
08:12Oh.
08:14Asi moves like a blurb.
08:16He strikes like a cobra.
08:18Frazier from the top.
08:19Goes up over Cardona,
08:20charging back in,
08:21and DDT.
08:23Man.
08:24Cardona rocked.
08:25Cover.
08:25Count.
08:26And Apollo Crews saving things.
08:28Also this week,
08:29of course this past Monday,
08:30it's 3-16 week,
08:31and I gotta say,
08:32Byron,
08:33you took one of the most underrated
08:34stone-cold stunners
08:35I've ever seen.
08:36And my discos are still traumatized from it.
08:39Well, 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
08:47for 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,
08:55whoa.
08:56Hooked it up and dropped.
08:59Frazier.
08:59This is what we've seen
09:00so many times from Frazier
09:02in the past.
09:02High power offense,
09:04and now he's gonna put
09:05his foot to the gas,
09:07to the top,
09:08looking to fly.
09:09Just able to land and counter.
09:11Back up and,
09:12oh!
09:14Got dropped.
09:16And that is a statement win
09:19for Cardona and Crews.
09:21Here are your winners,
09:23Apollo Crews
09:25and 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
09:37by a brand new team.
09:39Quick thinking
09:40from Matt Cardona.
09:41Quick strike ability.
09:43And good night,
09:44Nathan Frazier.
09:45And hello

09:47of the team

12:47firing for this
12:48man to step up
12:49in the absence
12:50of Xavier Woods
12:51for the new day?
12:53I think he is.
12:54Look at Grayson
12:55Waller.
12:56Look at how he's
12:56transformed
12:57his physique,
12:59transformed his
12:59attitude.
13:00A more vibrant
13:01look that we've
13:02seen in a long time.
13:03I like the
13:04trajectory
13:04of Grayson
13:05Waller.
13:08Waller's set
13:08for competition
13:09here tonight.
13:10Of course,
13:11we're on YouTube
13:12with Main Event
13:12been so for several
13:13weeks and the
13:14big news broke
13:15recently that

13:18YouTube on
13:19April the 4th.
13:20You know what

13:26Eventers of
13:26Friday Night
13:27Smackdown,
13:27and the future
13:28Main Eventers
13:29of WrestleMania.
13:31Couldn't have
13:31said it better
13:32myself.
13:33Thanks.
13:55This man was a
13:56few rungs away
13:57about a month
13:58ago from
13:59becoming the
13:59NXT champion,
14:01possibly headlining
14:02Stand and Deliver
14:03in St. Louis,
14:04but he is here
14:05tonight, the
14:06winner of
14:06LFG Byron
14:07Season 2.
14:09Making his
14:10Main Event
14:10debut, Vic.
14:12Big night
14:13for Shiloh Hill.
14:14Now, what does
14:14a win do
14:15for someone
14:15like Shiloh Hill?
14:17Well, Shiloh Hill
14:17has already put
14:18himself on the
14:18map.
14:19You mentioned
14:19winning LFG
14:20Season 2.
14:21Now, you come
14:22on the Main
14:22Event, you
14:23defeat an
14:23established superstar
14:24like Grayson
14:25Waller.
14:25Former Tag Team
14:26Champion.
14:27Former WWE
14:27Tag Team
14:28Champion.
14:29That's just
14:29more fuel
14:30for the fire
14:30of Shiloh Hill.
14:32Now, you see
14:32Grayson Waller
14:33already kind of
14:36raising his
14:36eyebrows to his
14:37opponent here
14:37and he's
14:38going to be
14:38in for a fight
14:39if you've
14:39never seen
14:40Shiloh Hill
14:40inside the
14:41ring.
14:43Oh, come on.
14:44There's always room
14:45for sportsmanship.
14:46Hell, where's
14:46the sportsmanship?
14:47There, Byron.
14:48Take that back.
14:50This is what I love
14:51about Shiloh Hill.
14:53I mean, he's a little
14:54unstable.
14:54He's the kind of
14:55guy who can talk
14:56to you about
14:56quantum physics
14:57one second and
14:57then punch you
14:58in the mouth
14:58the next.
14:59That's very true.
15:00He's someone who
15:00is always, always
15:01observing, rarely
15:03acts until it
15:04matters, and he
15:05doesn't belong to
15:06normal systems as
15:08you talked about.
15:08He's on the dark
15:10web, so to speak,
15:11and his mind doesn't
15:12work like others.
15:13It's truly a web
15:14always processing
15:16information.
15:17He's processing the
15:18attitude of Grayson
15:19Waller.
15:19Shiloh Hill will go
15:20from zero to 100
15:21in a split second.
15:23Well, just over a
15:24week ago, he started
15:26taking cars apart at
15:27the Performance Center
15:28in the parking lot.
15:29Took three days to put
15:30everything back together.
15:31He dismembered a row of
15:33cars because he was
15:33trying to figure out
15:34which vehicles belong
15:35to the Culling, and
15:36while he was doing
15:37that, he actually
15:38took the wheels off
15:39the car of Shawn
15:39Michaels.
15:40Well, the mistakes
15:41happened.
15:41I actually meant to
15:42ask him if he could
15:42into the cover, hook
15:44of the leg in a near
15:44fall.
15:45I think I'd rotate my
15:45tires one of these
15:46days.
15:46He is an interesting
15:48individual, and
15:48here's what's maybe a
15:50little bit more scary
15:51in some, ooh, big
15:52right hand, in some
15:54aspects of Shiloh
15:55Hill's game.
15:55This is someone who
15:56has The Undertaker on
15:58speed dial, his coach
15:59from LFG.
16:00Anyone who has
16:01followed the career
16:02of the dead man, he
16:04is one of the hardest
16:05individuals to earn
16:06the respect of.
16:06So to know that The
16:07Undertaker has put his
16:09stamp of approval on
16:10Shiloh Hill, that's a
16:11huge honor, but that's
16:12also a huge bullseye
16:13on the back of Shiloh
16:15Hill running right
16:16through.
16:16Grayson Waller now
16:17showcasing some power
16:19with a big body slam.
16:21You are right, though,
16:22when it comes to The
16:23Undertaker, recently went
16:24down to Texas, spent the
16:25weekend with The
16:26Undertaker, learning,
16:27training, trying to
16:28apply those skills here
16:29tonight, but Waller with
16:31a big right hand, changing
16:32the complexion of this
16:33match.
16:34Despite the endorsement,
16:35remember, Grayson
16:36Waller is the more
16:37experienced superstar here.
16:41That was effective.
16:42Grayson Waller worrying
16:43about us over here, finally
16:45turned around and is
16:46refocusing on Shiloh Hill.
16:48I saw the way you
16:50looked at you.
16:50Now focused in on
16:52Shiloh Hill, and you know
16:53this about Grayson Waller.
16:56He will not be a
16:57stepping stone for anyone.
16:59And you have to have that
17:00chip on your shoulder if
17:01you're Grayson Waller.
17:01That's the key to success,
17:03really, for any WWE
17:04superstar to make it to that
17:05top tier level.
17:06You've got to be a little
17:07angry at the world.
17:08Oh, what a nasty elbow,
17:10right, to the side of the air.
17:11And I'd love to know your
17:12thoughts on Kofi Kingston
17:14giving advice to the young
17:16OG, Javon Evans.
17:19For a superstar like Kofi
17:20Kingston, who has seen it
17:21all, who has done it all,
17:23to take an interest in
17:23Javon Evans.
17:24Into the cover, hook of
17:25the leg, and Hill powering
17:26out at two.
17:27Javon Evans should open
17:28his ears, soak in the
17:29knowledge, much like Grayson
17:30Waller's done at this stage
17:31of his career.
17:32I wonder what Waller then
17:33thinks of that mentorship
17:35as he's not like the new
17:37kid 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
17:42to more than I am.
17:43Well, the tone of your
17:44voice is indicating that.
17:45I'm sure Grayson Waller
17:45would love to hear your
17:46opinion.
17:47Well, Grayson Waller, I do
17:48notice, is out here
17:49tonight for the first time
17:50in quite a while.
17:52With a little bit of
17:52a little bit more color
17:56and a little bit more
17:57flair.
17:57It appears he is no longer
17:58mourning the new day.
18:00I don't see any black
18:01attire on Grayson Waller.
18:03There's a tie for mourning,
18:04but there's also another
18:06season of life where you
18:07have to come alive.
18:08And that's what Shiloh Hill
18:10doing right now.
18:12He had a mission to prove
18:12to the world just how good
18:14you are.
18:15Oh, what a jumping knee
18:17catching Hill right
18:18underneath the jaw.
18:19And now, Grayson Waller
18:20trying to slow this matchup
18:22back down.
18:23I'm the most underrated guy
18:24in the company.
18:25And there you go.
18:26The most underrated guy in
18:28the company, according to
18:29Grayson Waller.
18:30There's the chip we talked
18:31about.
18:31There's the motivation every
18:32single week for Grayson Waller
18:34to prove that he should get
18:36more recognition in WWE.
18:37Look, I have never doubted
18:38that what this man has done.
18:40He's always had the viral
18:41moment.
18:42He's always looked to show up
18:44in 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
18:56that right shoulder up.
18:57What did I tell you earlier
18:58about the bullseye on Shiloh Hill?
19:00It is bragging rights for
19:01Grayson Waller to come out
19:03here, nearly pin the shoulders
19:05of the superstar who has been
19:07endorsed by The Undertaker.
19:09Go!
19:12I don't know if Grayson Waller
19:13should be toying around right
19:14now with Shiloh Hill because,
19:16again, Hill does have that
19:17part of his mind that just
19:20is always working, always
19:21thinking, always processing
19:23a nice tilt-to-whirl slam
19:24for Hill.
19:26And this certainly would be
19:27an upset if Shiloh Hill were
19:29able to rally in this match.
19:31Oh, without a doubt.
19:32This is a major test as
19:33Shiloh Hill enters the deep
19:35waters here against Grayson
19:37Waller.
19:37How do you rebound?
19:39Toughest test also.
19:40Shiloh Hill's career in here
19:41with someone, as you mentioned,
19:43has won championships,
19:44has been at Wrestlemania.
19:46And Shiloh Hill overpowering
19:47one more time.
19:48Charging in.
19:49Got caught.
19:50Big elbow and woof.
19:52What a landing for Hill
19:55as Waller to the outside.
19:56Uh-oh.
19:57Bam!
19:57What the world?
19:59Again, it goes back
20:01to processing information,
20:03always observing,
20:04and then finally acting.
20:06His mind doesn't work like
20:07others and Shiloh Hill
20:08is proving that right now.
20:10And Shiloh Hill,
20:11well, that looked awfully
20:12familiar, did it not?
20:14Very familiar.
20:15Big leg drop.
20:17Hill tried this earlier,
20:19didn't pay off.
20:20This time it did.
20:22Big flying clothesline.
20:28Innovative offense.
20:29Do we have it upset?
20:32And Waller kicks out.
20:34I don't think we saw
20:35The Undertaker do
20:36that much innovation on Matt.
20:38It was a remix, you know?
20:42Shiloh Hill now going deep
20:43into the playbook
20:44in this matchup.
20:45You gotta wonder
20:46what everyone else thinking
20:46right now also
20:47in NXT watching this.
20:50There's a victory.
20:50Oh, wait a minute.
20:51Great job by our camera crew.
20:54Grayson Waller
20:54just ripped it to face.
20:57You know, Waller's
20:57never shy about
20:58cutting corners
20:59if it means an advantage
21:00for him.
21:01And it, bam!
21:02May mean a victory.
21:03Yeah, you can say that again.
21:04And Waller
21:05picks up the victory
21:07on main event.
21:09Here is your winner,
21:13Grayson Waller!
21:14And I'm sure
21:15that feels good
21:16for the arrogant Aussie
21:18to pick up a victory
21:20over Shiloh Hill.
21:22If you ask Grayson Waller,
21:23I'm sure he'll tell you
21:24he did what he was expected
21:26to do
21:26against an ultra-game
21:28Shiloh Hill.
21:29Certainly was.
21:30Flying through the air.
21:31Innovative offense.
21:32Shiloh Hill
21:33brought his best tonight.
21:35But for Grayson Waller,
21:36this was the turning point.
21:38Rake of the face
21:39right into the eyes.
21:41Blinding Shiloh Hill
21:42and then opening,
21:43bam!
21:43That door to close
21:45this match shut
21:46was Grayson Waller.
21:48Color me impressive
21:50with the performance
21:52of Grayson Waller
21:53this week
21:54on main event.
21:56Well, we all just felt
21:58the Grayson Waller effect.
