00:10Then, now, forever.
00:30Together.
01:10Always ready.
01:13The road to WrestleMania continues tonight.
01:17Welcome to main event.
01:25A man who claims he is always ready, Mick.
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.
02:05WrestleMania 42 is presented by Snickers.
02:10Snickers satisfies.
02:11And by WWE 2K26.
02:16Available now.
02:17GameSpot has named it one of the best games of 2026.
02:21You 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.
02:33The show never stops.
02:52And their opponents, Axiom and Nathan Fraser.
02:57Fraxium.
03:00And 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.
03:15In the WWE specifically here on SmackDown.
03:20Where General Manager Nick Aldis has his hands full each and every week.
03:24You must believe if you're Fraxium coming off that unfortunate loss in that tag team turmoil match.
03:30Which very well could have been Fraxium walking around as number one contender for the WWE tag team title.
03:36So 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 stage of them all.
03:52WrestleMania.
03:53And 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.
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.
04:15Matt 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 that it could help both of them grow.
04:26And 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.
04:36Look 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.
04:55And 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.
05:07And 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.
05:14It'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?
05:30Look, 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, but 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 been.
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.
06:01But 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.
06:09Pre-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.
06:23He 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 how many years ago was it?
06:32Matt Cardona was really the first pioneer of what became YouTube, so to speak, when it comes to wrestling.
06:39Or sports entertainment.
06:41That's why there'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 side of this
06:53man.
06:54Gone is the smile, gone is the just happy to be here, the happy-go-lucky, let me do everything
06:59you want.
07:00And he knows that right now, he's going to start picking up wins to have another one.
07:04To 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.
07:13When you sit at home that long, you go through different stages.
07:16You 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.
07:25And it becomes an insane state of existence, because you want to be back and you want to be part
07:30of 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.
07:51Axiom reaching out one more time, so close.
07:52Sands with another right, Cardona.
07:54Big shot under the jaw.
07:56Axiom rocked.
07:57And now is a far way away from his partner.
08:00Oh, it 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.
08:14Save.
08:15Moves like a blurb.
08:16He strikes like a cobra.
08:18Frazier from the top.
08:19Goes up over Cardona.
08:20Charge it back in.
08:22And DDT.
08:23Oh, man.
08:24Cardona rocked.
08:25Cover.
08:26Count.
08:26And Apollo Crew saving things.
08:28Also this week, of course this past Monday, it's 316 week.
08:32And 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.
08:39A little 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.
08:53It's near fall.
08:54Back up and, whoa.
08:56Hook it up and dropped.
08:59Frazier.
09:00This is what we've seen so many times from Frazier in the past.
09:03High 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.
09:14Got dropped.
09:16And that is a statement win for Cardona and Crews.
09:22Here are your winners.
09:24Apollo Crews and Matt Cardona.
09:27Cardona saw it coming.
09:29Why, Byron?
09:30Because he's always ready.
09:34Made a key point there, Vic.
09:35Quick statement made by a brand new team.
09:39Quick thinking to Matt Cardona.
09:41Quick striving ability.
09:43And good night Nathan Frazier.
09:46And 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.
10:09These two go one-on-one next on WWE Main Event.
10:23Welcome to my show.
10:31This way.
10:33Let's really get the show started.
10:39Rematch?
10:43It's rated T for Team.
10:49Walk in like you own the air.
10:52Because confidence, that's your superpower.
10:55Acknowledge me.
10:57You don't dodge the noise.
11:00You flip it.
11:01Own it.
11:02Make it yours.
11:05Walk in loud.
11:07Walk out legendary.
11:17In Vegas, everything's a game.
11:21Some nights, it's played without cards or dice.
11:26Just attention.
11:28Never knowing who might show up at the table.

12:15WrestleMania for the first time ever on ESPN.
12:29The following contest is scheduled for one call.
12:34Introducing first from Sydney, Australia, weighing in for 204 pounds, Grayson Waller.
12:46Is it time, Byron, for this man to step up in the absence of Xavier Woods for the new day?
12:53I 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.
13:11And, 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.
13:55This man was a few rungs away about a month ago from becoming the NXT Champion, possibly headlining, Stand and
14:03Deliver.
14:03in st louis but he is here tonight the winner of lfg byron season two making his main event
14:11debut big big night for silo hill now what does a win do for someone like shiloh hill
14:17silo 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 champ or w
14:27tag team champions that's just more fuel for the fire of silo hill they see grayson waller already
14:35kind of raising his eyebrows to his opponent here tonight he's going to be in for a fight if you've
14:39never seen shiloh hill inside the ring oh come on there's always room for sportsmanship okay where's
14:47the sports there by right this is what i love about shiloh hill i mean he's a little unstable he's
14:57the
14:57second and then punching them out the next that's very true he's someone who is always always
15:01observing rarely acts until it matters and he doesn't belong to normal systems as you talked
15:08about he's uh on the dark web so to speak and his mind doesn't work like others it's truly a
15:14web
15:14always processing information he's processing the attitude of grayson waller solid hill will go from
15:21zero to 100 in a split second well just over a week ago he started taking cars apart at the
15:28performance center in the parking lot took three days to put everything back together he
15:32dismembered a row of cars because he was trying to figure out which vehicles belong to the culling
15:36and while he was doing that he actually took the wheels off the car of sean michaels well the
15:41mistakes happen i actually meant to ask him if he could well into the cover hook of the leg in
15:44the near
15:45fall he could rotate my tires one of these days he is an interesting individual and here's what's
15:50maybe a little bit more scary into some oh big 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
16:01anyone who has followed the career of the dead man he is one of the hardest individuals to earn the
16:06respect of so to know that the undertaker has put his stamp of approval on silo hill that's a huge
16:11honor but that's also a huge bullseye oh on the back of silo hill hill running right through
16:16grayson waller and now showcasing some power with a big body slam so you are right though when it
16:22comes to the undertaker recently went down to texas spent the weekend with the undertaker learning
16:27training trying to apply those skills here tonight but waller with a big right hand changing the
16:33complexion of this match despite the endorsement remember grayson waller is the more experienced superstar
16:42here grayson waller worrying about us over here finally turned around and is refocusing on shiloh
16:47you i saw the way you look at you now focus in on shiloh hill and you know this about
16:53grayson wall
16:56he will not be a stepping stone for anyone and you have to have that chip on your shoulder if
17:01you're
17:01grayson waller that's the key to success really for any wwe superstar to make it to that top tier level
17:06you gotta be a little angry at the world oh what a nasty elbow right to the side of the
17:11ear and
17:11i'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
17:24javon evans into the cover hook of the leg and hill powering out it too i think javon evans should
17:28open
17:28his ears soak in the knowledge much like grayson waller's done at this stage of his career i wonder what
17:33waller then thinks of that mentorship is he's not like the new kid anymore the new day what are you
17:39implying grayson waller's i'm just asking i mean maybe you're you're on to more than i am well the
17:43tone of your voice is indicating that i'm sure grayson waller would love to hear your opinion
17:47well grayson waller i do notice is uh out here tonight for the first time in quite a while with
17:52a
17:52a little bit more color a little bit more flair appears he is no longer mourning the new day i
18:00don't
18:01see any black attire on grayson waller there's a tie for mourning but there's also another season
18:06of life where you have to come alive and that's what silo hill doing right now being on a mission
18:12to prove to the world just how good you are oh what a jumping knee catching hill right underneath the
18:18jaw
18:18and now grayson waller trying to slow this matchup back down i'm the most underrated guy in the company
18:26and there you go the most underrated guy in the company according to grayson waller there's the
18:30chip we talked about there's the motivation every single week for grayson waller to prove that he
18:35should get more recognition in wwe look i have never doubted that that what this man has done he's
18:40always had the viral moment he's always looked to show up in the biggest spots including wrestlemania
18:47oh oh there he just mocking the undertaker but a big elbow right to the heart into the cover hook
18:54of the leg and shiloh hill just getting that right shoulder up what i tell you earlier about the bullseye
18:59on silo hill it is bragging rights for grayson waller to come out here nearly pin the shoulders of the
19:06superstar who has been endorsed by the undertaker
19:12i don't know if grayson waller should be toying around right now with shiloh hill because again
19:16hill does have that part of his mind that just is always working always thinking always processing
19:23a nice tilt-to-whirl slam for hill and this certainly would be an upset if shiloh hill were
19:29able to rally in this match oh without a doubt this is a major test as shiloh hill enters the
19:34deep
19:35waters here against grayson waller how do you rebound toughest test also of shiloh hill's
19:41career in here with someone as you mentioned has won championships has been at wrestlemania
19:45and shiloh hill overpowering one more time charging in got caught big elbow and woof what a landing
19:54for hill as waller to the outside uh-oh bam what the wolf
19:58yeah again it goes back to processing information always observing and then finally acting his mind
20:06doesn't work like others and shiloh hill is proving that right now and shiloh hill well that looked
20:12awfully familiar did it not here big leg drop hill tried this earlier didn't pay off this time it did
20:22big flying clothesline
20:28innovative offense do we have it upset and waller kicks out i don't think we saw the undertaker do uh
20:36that much innovation on matt it's a remix you know
20:42shiloh hill now going deep into the playbook in this matchup you gotta wonder what everyone else
20:46thinking right now also in nxt watching this is a victory oh wait a minute great job by our camera
20:53crew grayson waller just ripped at the face you know waller's never shy about cutting corners if it
20:59means an advantage for him and it may mean a victory yeah you can say that again and waller picks
21:06up the
21:06victory on main event here is your winner grayson waller and i'm sure that feels good for the arrogant
21:18ozzy to pick up a victory over shiloh hill if you ask grayson waller i'm sure he'll tell you he
21:24did
21:25what he was expected to do against an ultra game shiloh hill certainly was flying through the air
21:31innovative offense shiloh hill brought his best tonight but for grayson waller this was the
21:37turning point break of the face right into the eyes blinding shiloh hill and then opening bam
21:44that door to close this match shut was grayson waller color me impressive with the performance of
21:52grayson waller this week on main event well we all just felt the grayson waller effect
