00:04Then.
00:12Now.
00:21Forever.
00:28Together.
01:11Backlash is officially in the books and after Tampa, the world heavyweight champion still sits at the head of the
01:17table. Welcome to main event.
01:19Say it out loud, we Braxium. Flashin' on, we backin' on. Streets of rage is born and born. Long let
01:26days start countin' on. Your time is over, it's the Braxium.
01:33The following tactics contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:37Introducing first, Axio, Nathan Graves, Braxium!
01:43Getting the action started tonight on YouTube with one of the most electric tandems in all of WWE, repping Friday
01:50Night SmackDown.
01:52As we welcome you in, Blake Howard alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph. Another wild week in the WWE.
01:59It certainly was, and you go back to everything that transpired as RAW was going off the air.
02:04Jacob Fatu absolutely unleashed, destroying what was his family.
02:10Huckin' buff, hauckin' buff, hauckin' buff, hauckin' buff, hauckin' buff!
02:21Low-ro fuck!
02:25And their opponent, with a combined weight of 545 pounds, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price, OTM!
02:36Well out the mud, right back to main event, one of the hardest hitting and most intimidating
02:41tag teams from NXT, ready for tonight's challenge.
02:45Certainly aren't, it is gonna be a big challenge, it's gonna be a tough test and if OTM can pull
02:50out the victory it'd be an upset and you got to imagine the stock begins to rise for these
02:55two.
02:57Contrasting styles ahead of us right here in this tag team encounter as OTM has had
03:01their fair share of momentum in recent weeks in NXT and of course Fraxium former two-time
03:06NXT tag team champions.
03:07When it comes OTM you learn a little bit more about this duo as we learned this past Tuesday
03:13so I think there's still some things to be uncovered about that duo but look when you're in there
03:19with Fraxium you gotta keep your head on a swivel, these guys are quick, they're effective, they're
03:23elusive, they're also resilient.
03:25Fraxium getting things started right now with Bronco Nima.
03:28Of course you see the size and power right there of Nima trying to assert himself and
03:33Vic recently on Friday night's SmackDown we saw Fraxium have a tag team title opportunity.
03:38What can they take away from that matchup against Damian Priest and Archie?
03:41Well if they don't start focusing they're gonna take away a few things in this matchup because
03:45you see Bronco Nima, I don't mean to disregard your question, just eat a couple of those shots
03:50and then just drop Nathan Frazier.
03:52We talk about that power and strength right there as well as that intimidation factor.
03:57Bronco Nima in the driver's seat right now.
03:59Bronco former division one football player looking to take control right now as once again
04:04that speed and quickness of Nathan Frazier trying to keep them in the game right here.
04:10Big and Segurian to tag right back into Axiom.
04:12And the pace starts to quicken that obviously is going to favor Fraxium and right now taking
04:16Bronco Nima down this is what they have to do, hit, cover,
04:19only gets one right there.
04:21Almost got the pinfall and now Bronco you can see is very frustrated at this moment,
04:26after that last shot.
04:27It is double team!
04:29Nice connection there by Nathan Frazier and Vic of course you've called your fair
04:32share of Fraxia matchups.
04:34How have they built cohesion over the years from NXT to Friday night snow?
04:36These are two guys that started off as rivals right, they had a great set of matchups back
04:42and forth and then they came together because they knew that they were better together to have
04:46a huge moment in NXT which led them to tag team gold but Bronco Nima showing you the power
04:53and the strength.
04:54Oh innovative backbreaker!
04:57And look at the dominance right here of OTM as Bronco connects in the corner there's a tag into
05:02Lucian Price.
05:03And Vic how can OTM take advantage of the recent chaos in NXT?
05:07Talk about chaos, this man is full of chaos.
05:09Take a look at the strength of power and right now NXT is up for anyone and look at that,
05:15that frees you in fear?
05:16That's certainly a very interesting look out of the eyes of Lucian Price and down goes Axiom.
05:21But this is a duo that thrives in chaos.
05:24They grew up in chaos, they were molded and born in the darkness.
05:28They don't care about what you have to say, what I have to say or what management has to say.
05:33If I'm in NXT and I'm general manager Robert Stone I would be very worried if I had to get
05:38in the face of OTM.
05:39An explosion out of the corner there by Lucian Price into the cover, hooks the outside leg.
05:43Only two there for OTM.
05:46You know when it comes to OTM I've heard from a few people you have a lot in common with
05:49this duo.
05:50OTM.
05:51You're a big hitter just like they are.
05:52I know why you walk around a little extra swag these days.
05:56We'll talk about it off air, we'll talk about it off air.
05:58Well it's time for a G-Ride right here on Main Event.
06:01Has Bronco Nima taken full advantage right now?
06:04And Vic, we are talking tag teams.
06:07You are way off on your Dan Housen prediction.
06:09What are you talking about?
06:10I just said could it be Byron Saxton?
06:12Could it be?
06:13What do you mean I was off?
06:14Well, it sounded to me like you went with Byron.
06:17Has Bronco Nima in control right now?
06:19Can OTM pull off the big win?
06:21Two and a half right there.
06:23Now you're out here throwing things that I said at me.
06:26I know you're Mr. Evolve.
06:27I know you're Mr. Main Event.
06:29I understand it.
06:30Big hitting Blake Howard sitting with me ringside.
06:32I get it.
06:33You're riding high today, aren't you?
06:35Just like OTM is in this contest right now in full control
06:38as Lucian Price looks to take advantage once again.
06:42Nathan Frazier is a dangerous point in this matchup
06:44because if Frazier doesn't get back to his feet
06:45and is able to get over to make a tag,
06:48he's not going to be able to continue.
06:49Just look at the size advantage of Lucian Price in there with Frazier.
06:53Vic, you talked about how this past Tuesday
06:55will learn a little bit more about the past of OTM and of course,
06:58recently picking up a big win in Madison Square Garden,
07:00making all kinds of impacts.
07:02Do they deserve championship opportunities?
07:04They do deserve championship opportunities.
07:05This is a team that has battled.
07:07I don't mean to use the word out the mud,
07:09but they were stuck for a while.
07:11They were able to fight their way back,
07:12have that big win, a statement win, so to speak.
07:15And they're just so unorthodox in some ways.
07:17They're just so raw in some ways.
07:19And that is what makes them special, I believe.
07:22And you see that innovative offense on display by Lucian Price.
07:25But look at the speed and quickness.
07:27And here comes a kid from Madrid.
07:29And this is not what OTM wanted.
07:31They did not want to see Axiom back in this matchup.
07:34As Axiom starting to light up Lucian Price.
07:36Off the ropes, Axiom goes building some momentum.
07:39Big forearm.
07:41As Axiom now trying to go back to the drawing board one more time.
07:44Can he get Lucian Price off of his feet?
07:46You see Bronco Nima running over there.
07:47Nima, wrong spot.
07:48But a two for one special.
07:50And the big step up in Seguri.
07:52Axiom so smart.
07:53Able to break things down so quickly inside that ring.
07:56Looking to fly.
07:57Creating that separation.
07:58Crossbody from the top into the cover.
08:01And OTM's gonna hang on.
08:02But this is vintage for Axiom right in front of us.
08:05Oh, you can see it in Axiom's eyes.
08:06He's getting to enter that zone.
08:10Now here come these strong style kicks.
08:13A series of big strikes right now.
08:15Oh, might have bit off more than he can chew here
08:17against a massive mooch at Price.
08:19As Price turns Axiom inside out with that clothesline.
08:23And here comes Bronco Nima.
08:25And OTM might be looking to turn the corner here, Vic.
08:27And we could be on the verge of a massive upset here on Main Event.
08:31Center of the ring.
08:33Into the cover.
08:34Oh!
08:35And Nathan Frazier makes a major save.
08:37If Nathan Frazier didn't get back to his feet, didn't fly through the air,
08:42OTM would have secured the biggest victory of their career in that moment.
08:46Would have been their signature win indeed.
08:48As Lucian Price going right back to the offensive attack.
08:51But look at the speed and quickness right here is Price set to the floor.
08:54Again, this is the experience factor.
08:56That made of Fraxium coming into play.
08:59And look at this combination offense.
09:02As Broncos going to the outside.
09:04And this is just what Fraxium likes.
09:08Tope Suitsi to the outside there by Frazier.
09:11And followed one up by Axiom.
09:12They move like a blur.
09:13They strike like a cobra.
09:15And look at these series of strikes indeed.
09:18What a way to kick off Main Event wherever you are watching around the world on YouTube.
09:23Just a little over a week away from Saturday Night's Main Event.
09:26And Fraxium starting to dial it up right here.
09:29From the top.
09:31The missile dropkick assisted by Nathan Frazier in the Russian leg sweep.
09:36And just like that, Fraxium squeaks to another victory.
09:40Here are your hitters, Fraxium!
09:43Take nothing away from OTM and what they brought in this matchup.
09:48But in those closing moments, you saw that experience certainly was a factor.
09:53In this tag team matchup.
09:55And Vic, we talked about the cohesion that Fraxium has built over the years.
09:58From NXT to Friday Night Smackdown.
10:00They continue to persevere all throughout this matchup.
10:03And came away with a huge win.
10:04And it certainly was huge.
10:06And it was also momentum building.
10:08As Fraxium once again picks up a big win.
10:11The kickoff Main Event this week.
10:16Fraxium kicks off Main Event with a huge win over OTM.
10:19And the action is just getting started here on YouTube.
10:22Up next, Maxine Dupree and Ivy Nile collide in a battle of redemption.
10:26After both suffered tough losses last week.
10:28Maxine holds the advantage.
10:30Defeating the Pitbull in their last two encounters.
10:32But tonight, Ivy looks to bite back and finally flip the script.
10:35Against a former Women's Intercontinental Champion.
10:38It's Maxine Dupree versus Ivy Nile.
10:40And it happens, next.
10:56Give me the glory.
10:57Give me the glory.
10:59I got the world in the palm of my hand.
11:01I've been the story, I cannot be sorry.
11:03I gave them the glory of selling the plans.
11:05The devil's just part of the plan.
11:08Give me the glory.

13:29the alpha babe is back in action this week after a very interesting monday night she's here on main
13:34event putting her nose to the grindstone she scratches it claws to victory the interesting
13:39matchup when you really look at the scheme of things because you and i always talk about nxt and
13:44we go back and we think about what happened this past tuesday in the women's division that is in
13:48nxt and then you start to think about the impact recently look at someone oh oh we'll talk about
13:55impact ivy now with something right out of the jump right before the bell in her hometown of knoxville
14:00right here and this is what i was getting to you got to start wondering if someone like ivy nile
14:04is
14:04feeling the pressure when you go back to tuesday in nxt and you're talking about nikita lions lizzie rain
14:09who's a newcomer someone like zarya who has issues with soul ruka or even our women's north american
14:14champion in nxt tatum paxley all these women are ready all these women around the cusp and people
14:21superstars men and women have to be feeling that right now with the emergence of what we've just
14:26seen this year indeed a lot of chaos all throughout monday tuesdays and friday nights and i was going to
14:31ask you vick how do both superstars build on last week's opportunity you see ivy coming right out of
14:35the gate maxine coming back the other way only two i think there's always chance to build on
14:40opportunity but it really comes down to what you can do inside the ring can you pick up a victory
14:46can you bounce back can you show resiliency and that has been the mo of this woman maxine dupree
14:52as we're seeing it right here in the alpha babe overcoming adversity once again looking to get in
14:56the driver's seat with a victory after last week's matchup against raquel rodriguez and look at ivy nile
15:01showing off the power right here reversing course indeed right into that backbreaker
15:06you can hear maxine screaming in pain and this is what ivy nile does so well ivy nile is able
15:12to
15:13beat down her opponent break down systematically somebody in the ring but it comes back to being
15:19able to finish the matchup and vick you talked about a lot of that new talent debuting in nxt i
15:25mean
15:25how can that ultimately serve as a motivator to all superstars i think it is a motivator you see
15:29everything that has happened on nxt you think about uh and talk about men and women look at ethan page
15:33right now indeed everything that's gone on with him throughout his career in nxt the longest
15:39reigning north american champion and now in just a few days he has an opportunity of becoming the
15:45intercontinental champion on saturday night's main event against penta going to the cover hooks the
15:49outside leg only two there for the pit bull indeed nine days fort wayne indiana a huge opportunity for
15:54all ego ethan page against penta for the intercontinental championship but iron sharpens iron that's the old
15:59analogy right to be the best you got to beat the best and right now if you're ivy nile you're
16:05in
16:05there with someone who has held a championship on monday night raw has been in the winner's circle so
16:11to speak she wants to get there you need a victory over a former champion to start building your own
16:16stock as ivy right now looking to take full advantage nice counter by maxine roll up cover
16:22only gets two right there you're talking about that goal that maxine's held before
16:25that women's intercontinental championship is anyone as confident as becky lynch right now i don't think
16:30anyone is as confident as becky lynch ever becky lynch does not need to have a championship to walk
16:36around with the aura that she has she does not have to have gold around her waist to walk in
16:41and be the
16:41one in the room that everybody is looking at the one thing that woman does not lack is confidence you
16:46talk about 2k the video game if confidence was something she'd be 110 indeed as you see right there
16:52suplex on display and look at the power right here from ivy nile that blood rushing right to the head
16:58of maxine dupree on display for the wwe university of knoxville the hometown of ivy nile and vic we
17:06talked about that added pressure right here but look at ivy with ease part of the strength game
17:13part of what makes ivy nile so special nearly 20 seconds in the air coming down with the suplex
17:21cover and maxine somehow able to hang on i'm sure that's not an easy feat i really can't even hold
17:27a bag of dog food up that high for 20 seconds let alone another human being as of course ivy
17:34nile in
17:34full control right now conspicuous by their absence the creed brothers i know you mentioned them last
17:38week where they've been that's what i'm saying where have they been well you're mr investigative
17:45journalist i i haven't seen them i haven't heard from them i have not seen them in the performance
17:49center i i thought maybe you knew i got excited for a second i thought you had some breaking info
17:54about where the brothers creed have been well i know you're mr cleveland so i thought maybe you had
17:58some insight well brutus is the only one out of that family that is a cleveland fan his brother not
18:02so
18:03much but yes i agree with you i've been looking for them i've been texting them they haven't texted me
18:07back why you know i thought maybe you knew i i did not know hopefully one day we can find
18:13out
18:13hopefully someday soon as a matter of fact nice counter there by maxine dupree both superstars
18:17down right now referee jessica card checking in as ivy nile trying to get back to her feet we always
18:22talk about ivy she's pushed she's gotten close and she's trying to get to that next level and i want
18:26to say if you go back to last sequence maxine got just enough of ivy now to rock now for
18:31a moment
18:32this is now a big moment in time for maxine dupree to kind of get her wits back about her
18:37and start laying in some strikes because she has been behind the eight ball in this matchup this one
18:43going back and forth right now of course these two former tag team partners got very personal at a
18:47one point in time and a big roundhouse kick by maxine that's going to put ivy right in position
18:52going for the fisherman suplex also got a note from someone in the truck goes 30 seconds not 20
18:58seconds so stopwatch might have been off so give ivy now the credit when she's due to credit
19:01you're 10 seconds short as the pit bull always breaking records right here as look at maxine
19:06with a big kick right to the side of the head and dupree innovative offense center of the ring
19:12hooks the leg and the pit bull hanging on once again big kick up but there you see some great
19:17offense for maxine dupree always evolving her game we talk about breaking records or breaking
19:22a stopwatch or whatever ivy now almost had her jaw broken by that last knee able to land on her
19:26feet though swing and a miss from maxine maxine going for it one more time and look at her pick
19:30the ankle here of ivy pulling a page out of the pit bull's playbook center of the ring with the
19:35ankle lock not a whole lot of places for nile to go oh nice counter there by ivy and bam
19:42big connection
19:43with that german release suplex that's gonna daze dupree and ivy nile right position dropping maxine
19:51what a win this would be for ivy center of the ring and the pit bull bites back to victory
19:57that is
19:57huge here is your winner ivy nile that is a momentum building win for ivy now you talk about making
20:06a
20:07statement ivy nile just pinned a former champion in the wwe both superstars looking for a win after a
20:13last week here on main event and the pit bull comes back with a lot of force and picks up
20:19a big win
20:20let's take another look at the action right here vic as maxine can free that innovative offense
20:24push ivy right to the brink
20:26certainly did but look ivy able to kick out maxine give credit when credit is due but in the end
20:31the
20:31power was on display look at the impact you see maxine quickly she felt every inch of that match
20:39every inch of power from ivy nile as she shows off with the double bicep look at that that right
20:46now
20:46is a huge moment remember this night for ivy nile
20:53coming up the culling rolls into knoxville looking to make a statement in their main event debut
20:58but standing in their way is wwe's favorite odd couple alpha academy can the dangerous new faction of

23:07that create absolute havoc in all of the divisions
23:11not only one of the tag teams but also one of the women
23:13you're taking a look at a former woman's north american champion
23:16and izzy dame a woman who has set her sights on the nxt
23:19women's championship and after what we witnessed this past tuesday
23:24she may be the mayor of vice city sooner rather than later
23:40and their opponents representing alpha academy
23:45at a combined weight of 486 pounds
23:48the team of akira tozawa and odin
23:54well it's certainly time for a meaty main event this week as the workhorses are back
23:58ready to prove themselves reverse course for maxine's matchup just a few moments ago
24:02and look to be a tag team force once again here on youtube
24:05you gotta start wondering too uh crossing paths so to speak in the last few minutes if
24:11they had a chance to talk to maxine if maxine gave them any words of encouragement if they passed along
24:16any words of encouragement to her because she is the guiding light of that trio
24:20we always talk about how alpha academy lifts each other up you wonder to that point vick
24:25did maxine have any words of encouragement here in this tag team matchup
24:28so they can pick up a big win before we go off the air
24:30also interesting to know too when we talk about numbers advantages
24:34that is the cullings mo they have the numbers advantage in this matchup maxine may have provided
24:40a little bit of a spark for otis and tozawa to counter izzy dame on the outside
24:45certainly could have been a bit of a neutralizer there for the great dame
24:48of nxt as sean spears getting things started here with otis of course sean spears a long time better
24:53in the wwe he certainly is someone who has been to the
24:57top they made a tag and here comes niko vance
25:00this is the unknown yeah that you got that right the x factor
25:03someone who is very high on the list of booker t on tuesday night
25:09someone who you and i know in the performance center can match pound for pound one of the
25:13strongest guys in the performance center he is in there right now with otis and otis is making
25:18him look oh these two collide in the center of the ring the irresistible force meeting the
25:24movable object right here vick i can say that again in more ways than one i wonder what social
25:29media is going to say to you after that statement as otis in control right now but vick you have
25:34to
25:34wonder otis still may be feeling the effects from answering the challenge of obafemi recently
25:38it very well could be and look at niko vance taking this right back into control tozawa was the first
25:43one to try to approach obafemi if you remember that he quickly uh turned right around but here
25:47comes booker t calls him the gps sean spears lighting up the chest of tozawa in control
25:54against the stamina monster right now and vick the culling has been together a little over a year now
25:59in nxt is tozawa snapping off that head scissors from the top and look at the stamina monster start
26:04to move yeah nice drop kick as well look culling's been you're talking about how long they've been
26:08together otis tozawa been together a lot longer they know the way each other move they know the ins
26:13they know the outs they can move without speaking as yes a tag indeed was made and
26:17this matchup right now could be favoring the culling
26:22as tozawa's going to go to the top right now we know he lives at home right there oh
26:26sean spears trying to interfere but tozawa continues to climb tozawa from upstairs and look at the power
26:33of the x-factor of the culling and i say that because tozawa is being out muscled right now by
26:40niko vance
26:41as niko vance doing a number here on tozawa and vick if you go back almost two years niko vance
26:46making his wwe tv debut right here on main event and niko vance has grown leaps and bounds he has
26:52found a home with the culling going back to your previous point he has listened to the guidance of
26:57someone like sean spears but he also and i and i know you're gonna say oh i know you're always
27:03stirring
27:03the pot he's stirring i'm not stirring the pot i'm making an observation he may be listening to izzy
27:09dame just a little bit more well izzy dame's certainly been that straw that serves the drink
27:15as you see right there cheap shot the official didn't see it they've got big advantage of sean
27:19spears cover only gets two right there but as you pointed out vick former women's north american
27:24champion and she's certainly recently taken aim at the nxt women's champion lola vice she certainly
27:29has and look izzy dame is coming for gold izzy dame is coming for domination that is what sean
27:35spears has talked about sean spears a former north american champion and now there you go back to
27:40being a veteran baiting in otis in that moment that veteran mindset there of sean spears trying
27:45to create some separation right there oh tozawa he's trying to create separation but also trying
27:49to create a little bit of frustration you go back to the nba playoffs you just fluster a team and
27:53everything could just unravel quickly nice job by niko vance cutting off tozawa and then dropping him
28:00face first dominating from the x-factor right there into the cover only two once again and
28:05vick i mean ultimately how much improvement let's take another look at this just power from niko vance
28:09dropping tozawa's stomach first how much improvement have we seen from vance under the tutelage of
28:14a lot this is someone who has put it together he still isn't a finished product i think he would
28:20talk to you about that i think sean spears would admit that but sean spears as i said
28:25the gps who just got caught with that ddt was niko vance he can prepare you he can mold you
28:33he can
28:33guide you but right now it's all up to spears in this matchup and otis tumbling right in the powerful
28:40porterhouse ready to unleash taking down sean spears and otis starting to move with that spinning back
28:47elbow oh he's taking a look at niko vance he wants some more and wb universe loves them some otis
28:55what do you call him the powerful porterhouse powerful porterhouse he's unloading right here
29:00there's vance in the corner here's one for sean spears and otis oh as spears he's in prime position vick
29:12those knees are starting to knock wwe universe starting to rise up a little bit niko vance sent
29:19for the ride as tozawa he's building some momentum open up the cockpit tozawa flying right through the
29:25flying fillet to the outside as otis mania running wild here on main event say that again
29:32could be caterpillar time spears is dead oh big splash maybe mistake not to go for the cover
29:39i think he me what there's izzy dave izzy again oh oh the kiss the don't miss you say that
29:52again
