00:04Then.
00:12Now.
00:21Forever.
00:28Together.
01:11In just two weeks, championships are on the line as the action returns to Fort Wayne, Indiana for Saturday night's
01:18main event.
01:18Welcome to the main event.
01:26The following contest is scheduled for one call.
01:29Introducing first from Long Island, New York, weighing in at 230 pounds, Max Cardona!
01:37Getting the action started tonight on YouTube with the always ready former Intercontinental United States Champion
01:42for his first main event singles match in nearly seven years.
01:47We welcome you in, Blake Howard, alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph.
01:51Huge couple of days coming up for the WWE.
01:53It is a huge couple of days.
01:54It's been a big week for you.
01:56Happy belated birthday, Blake Howard.
01:59Wow, look at you.
02:00I'm not going to do it on your birthday, obviously.
02:02I never thought.
02:02And I didn't forget.
02:04Wow.
02:04What a way to start off the show tonight.
02:06Yeah, just focus, please.
02:08Well, now I'm ready just like Matt Cardona.
02:34And his opponent, accompanied by Axiom, from the Isle of Jersey and the English Channel.
02:39Weighing in at 180 pounds, one half of Traxia, Nathan Frazier!
02:47We know nobody is faster than Frazier as the Lightning Quick English standout.
02:51Looking for a win in back-to-back weeks right here on YouTube.
02:54And you talk about being always ready.
02:56I wonder if Matt Cardona is going to be ready for the pace of this matchup.
03:01Might have a smile on his face right now, but you can see someone take a deep breath, Cardona,
03:06because Frazier is, well, I've said it before, moves like a blur, strikes like a cobra.
03:11Set for singles action to kick off this week's main event, Vic, a couple of weeks ago on Friday Night
03:16SmackDown.
03:16Cardona certainly stepped up to Ricky Saints and welcomed the absolute one to Friday Night's.
03:21He certainly did, and look, Matt Cardona back in the WWE.
03:24We all know this story. He would love, though, to start picking up some victories.
03:28We talked about him coming back to the WWE several months ago.
03:31Nice roll-proof.
03:31Here we go, Lamai Straw Cradle, and the cover only gets two right there.
03:34Since his return late last year, how has Cardona re-acclimated to the WWE?
03:38I think he's maybe fighting out. It's not the same sort of style it once was.
03:44You know, he's getting in the ring now, and he's a little bit older, he would tell you that.
03:47He's also a little bit wiser, and he certainly has changed his style.
03:51But look at the base getting picked up by Frazier.
03:55Frazier in the driver's seat right now. We talked about looking for back-to-back victories.
03:58A big win last week over OTM as Fraxium looking for a leg up in the ever-competitive SmackDown Tag
04:04Team division.
04:04Yeah, it's always competitive. Anything helps.
04:07I still feel bad for general manager Nick Aldis having to take a look at all those teams.
04:11He's old.
04:12And Cardona looking always ready right there.
04:16Reversing course right now as Cardona right now sizing up the opponent and taking down Frazier with the clothesline.
04:23Vic, we talked about Cardona and his return here to the WWE.
04:26How is he always ready?
04:27What sort of blasphemous comment is that?
04:29Did you not hear the theme, always ready?
04:32Dude, why are you questioning the man? That's the second or third time you've done that.
04:36Do you not think he's ready?
04:37Well, I know you're close with him.
04:38I am there.
04:38Do you not think he's ready though?
04:39I mean, look at him.
04:40He looks like a million bucks.
04:41He certainly looks ready right here.
04:43I will say as he hits the Woo Awakening, I will say when it comes to Cardona,
04:48this is someone who knows that the sands of time are running out.
04:52He knows right now.
04:53He can go on social media and do all his posts.
04:55He knows he needs a strike when the iron's hot.
04:58He still has very lofty goals for himself.
05:01Very huge expectations.
05:03And that includes more championship gold.
05:05Well, you're talking championship gold, of course, as a former United States champion.
05:08He's battled with him before.
05:10You have to wonder is Cardona ready.
05:12Oh.
05:12Counter with the now United States champion, Trick Williams.
05:15Here we go.
05:15Cover.
05:16And Cardona, right on the doorstep, only gets two.
05:18I wonder if Cardona would have loved to get a little more weight on the upper body in that cover
05:22and might have been able to put Frazier away.
05:25Anything happens, right?
05:26Always ready.
05:27Any opponent, bam, at any given time.
05:30Could be Trick Williams.
05:33Never know.
05:33Could go over to Monday Night Raw.
05:35Could be looking at a different title down the line.
05:38Could be looking at Cody Rhodes if Cody can survive Kunther at Clash in Italy.
05:43And, of course, a former Intercontinental Champion.
05:45We know we'd love another crack at that championship.
05:48Of course, Pence has got a huge matchup in just 48 hours at Saturday Night's Man of
05:51Vanna against All-Ego Ethan Payne.
05:53But right now, Cardona in the driver's seat right here.
05:56Vic, you're seeing some aggression coming out.
05:58Might be looking for yet prettier.
06:01Here we go.
06:01Cover.
06:03And Cardona thought that was enough.
06:08Yes.
06:08I wonder what's going through his mind right now, that being Matt Cardona,
06:11because he has delivered a couple big shots to Nathan Frazier in this matchup.
06:16And Frazier able to continue to push forward.
06:18A lot of that resiliency we've talked about throughout his career in NXT UK and in NXT.
06:23Axiom on the outside, of course, trying to root out his partner.
06:26But, oh, my.
06:28The Broski boot coming to us right here as Cardona in control right now.
06:35And, again, Vic, we talked about at the top the first time in nearly seven years,
06:38Cardona stepped into singles action here on main event.
06:40And picked up a tag team victory several weeks back.
06:42But right now looking to take it to one of the top tag team specialists on Friday nights.
06:47Nathan Frazier has not been able to get out of the gates in this match.
06:50But that's certainly a unique way to get up over back into the ring.
06:53And now maybe can turn his fortunes around.
06:55We're talking about that speed and quickness.
06:58Tope suicided to the outside.
07:00That's just how Frazier separates himself from the rest of the competition.
07:04Swing a miss from Cardona.
07:05And now Nathan Slayblade.
07:08Center of the ring.
07:09And he's going upstairs.
07:10This is where he feels at home.
07:13That frenetic pace to kick things off this week on main event.
07:16Looking to hit a big time move in front of Mr. Big Time Blake Howard.
07:20And Frazier connects with a frog splash.
07:23Center of the ring.
07:25And back and forth we go.
07:26What an opening contest this week on main event.
07:28Certainly this is a heck of a birthday gift for you.
07:31What a way as you just mentioned Nathan Frazier's speed.
07:33This would be a huge victory too for Frazier.
07:35We talk about being a tag team specialist.
07:37But if he's able to knock off somebody who has had WrestleMania moments.
07:41United States championships.
07:43Intercontinental championships.
07:44That really would behoove him moving forward.
07:47Frazier.
07:48Oh.
07:49Going for it all right there.
07:50Runs into the knees of Cardona.
07:53And now Cardona measuring up Frazier yet again.
07:56Going for the unpretty here one more time.
07:58Roll up by Frazier.
07:59And again only two back and forth we go yet again here Vic.
08:02And Frazier with that spinning twist out suplex.
08:08Unique offense for Frazier.
08:10We talk about his quickness.
08:11But obviously he had to showcase some strength to hoist up the much larger Cardona.
08:15And looks to be in position right now.
08:18Cardona's down.
08:19Going for that Phoenix splash.
08:20Nobody home.
08:21And Cardona connects with the Rough Rider.
08:25And just like that Cardona is ready for a victory.
08:31Here is your winner.
08:33Matt Cardona!
08:36Well does that not answer the question you threw at me?
08:39Is this man truly always ready?
08:42I think the answer is yes.
08:46Certainly ready for a victory here on Main Event on YouTube.
08:50Kickstarting a major couple of days here for the WWE.
08:53As let's see Nathan Frazier going for it all right here Vic.
08:55And we thought that frog splash may have been enough.
08:57Could have been in but Cardona able to power out at the last possible moment.
09:01But this could be the biggest mistake of the match for Frazier.
09:03Because he turned right back around.
09:05And then he went for a rough ride courtesy of Matt Cardona.
09:09High risk.
09:09No reward there for Nathan Frazier.
09:11As Matt Cardona returns the Main Event.
09:14Picks up a big singles victory.
09:16Now looking to show off some sportsmanship.
09:17Well that's a nice show of sportsmanship yes.
09:20Between two competitors here in the WWE.
09:23And Matt Cardona giving Nathan Frazier flowers of sort.
09:26But that is a massive victory for Cardona.
09:29Frazier certainly feeling some frustrations right there.
09:32But Matt Cardona picking up a big win.
09:34To kick off this week's Main Event.
09:41Coming up next the Alpha Academy's very own Maxine Dupree.
09:44Looks to bounce back on Main Event.
09:45As she takes on Nikita Lyons.
09:48Who will come out on top when these two go one on one.
09:50We'll find out when we return.
09:52On Main Event.
09:58Everywhere I go.
10:00I hear the same thing.
10:01But you want to be closer.
10:03To this.
10:05That's exactly why we built.
10:08Club WWE.
10:11This is everything WWE.
10:13Like closer.
10:15To you.
10:16In one.
10:18Ultimate membership.
10:21Join the waitlist now.
10:23And become the ultimate insider.
10:34The first ever premium live event to be held in Italy.
10:40High stakes.
10:41High pressure.
10:43This is what we call must see.
11:00Time to step into the women's division.
11:01beneath.
11:16The following contest is to the Inf gigantic fought ball.
11:21Introducing first.
11:22From Sacramento, California, Maxine Dupree.
11:29A very busy Alpha Bay back in action here tonight.
11:32She came up short the last two weeks.
11:34Will the third time be a charm right here on Main Event?
11:38For Maxine Dupree, this is somebody who we talked about
11:42has had the highest of the highs, the lowest of the lows,
11:45and she, much like Matt Cardona,
11:47trying to get back on her winning ways here in the WWE.
11:51A former champion, a former Women's Intercontinental Champion,
11:54started the year off on a super high note
11:56and has been riding the ups and downs ever since.
12:00As Clash in Italy is presented by Riyadh Season,
12:03the ultimate entertainment festival with live shows,
12:05sports, food, fashion, and theme parks, October through March.
12:08Perfect for all ages.
12:15Oh, Blake, are you ready to roar?
12:26It is her opponent from Los Angeles, California,
12:34Nikita Lane.
12:37Well, Nikita Multimedia expands her horizons yet again.
12:41From NXT to Evolve to LFG, even to TNA.
12:45And now for the first time in her career, tonight on Main Event.
12:49Booker and I, Booker T and I have talked about on NXT
12:52that this is the year of opportunity,
12:53and this certainly is a big one for Nikita Linus.
12:57And you've got to wonder when it comes to NXT,
12:58she's had her issues recently with Zaria.
13:02You know, Zaria walked out on her two weeks ago
13:04on NXT TV in a tag team matchup.
13:07I mean, this is a big opportunity,
13:09but you've got to also start to think about
13:11what the general manager, Robert Stone,
13:13is thinking when he sees Nikita Lyons getting these opportunities.
13:15This may give Nikita more opportunities Tuesday nights.
13:19You make a great point there, Vic,
13:21making her triumphant return to Tuesday nights at NXT
13:23a couple of weeks back.
13:24And of course, she had her sights on the Women's
13:26North American Championship and Tatum Paxley.
13:29But of course, you mentioned Zaria leading her high and dry.
13:31Yeah, well, speaking of Tatum Paxley, by the way,
13:33what a fighting champion on NXT.
13:35Wants to give opportunities to everybody in the women's division,
13:37in the women's locker room,
13:39did so this past Tuesday against Lizzie Reign.
13:41And obviously, she also has her own issues
13:44with Zaria moving forward on NXT.
13:47As Big Cat Kida certainly came to fight here tonight
13:49against Maxine Dupree.
13:51As the Alpha Babe, oh, running right into Nikita right here,
13:54trying to stay one step ahead.
13:56And Nikita with a big strike.
13:57And if you've never seen Nikita Lyons,
13:59this is what you have to look out for,
14:00the striking ability.
14:01Don't let the dancing fool you.
14:02Don't let the acapella singing fool you.
14:04Yeah, she can do it all.
14:05She can do TV.
14:06She can do movies.
14:07She can sing.
14:07She can do podcasts.
14:08But when she starts to throw fists
14:10and starts to throw the feet,
14:12her striking ability is what could separate her.
14:14She, of course, has that kickboxing background.
14:16And Vic, we talk about her on Tuesday nights.
14:18Also, Wednesday nights, Evolve on Tubi.
14:21Getting very close to the Women's Evolve Championship
14:23and, of course, Wendy Chew the champion.
14:25Oh, that is great.
14:26I forgot.
14:26I should have mentioned that you are, of course, Mr. Evolve.
14:29Big night last night.
14:30It was a huge night.
14:31Oh, and look at Maxine, ever so elusive right now.
14:34It goes back to the big week we have here in WWE,
14:3648 hours in Italy.
14:38Of course, Maxine Dupree right now
14:39trying to stay one step ahead against Nikita Lyons.
14:43I checked my math.
14:4472 hours in Italy.
14:46It's actually next Saturday.
14:47Of course, coming to you on the Saturday night's main event.
14:49That's right, Saturday.
14:50It's all mixed up right now.
14:52It's Big Cat Keita in control right here.
14:55And Vic, you've seen Nikita Lyons ever since the very beginning of her career.
14:58How much improvement have you seen from her in recent months?
15:00You know, Booker T brings up a good point that this is somebody who has shown,
15:04whether it's been on LFG on Sunday, so much promise has been hindered a little bit,
15:09sidelined due to some injuries.
15:11So you really don't know what she can do.
15:14You really don't know what the limit is, what the ceiling is for Nikita Lyons.
15:19We certainly saw this past week sitting under the learning tree,
15:21the two-time Hall of Famer Booker T Sunday on LFG.
15:24And right now you see this back to that striking ability,
15:27going out trying to break down the body of Maxine.
15:30And of course, Maxine trying to persevere here,
15:32overcome two straight losses on main event.
15:34And she's had herself an interesting couple of weeks in the WWE.
15:38Samoan drop.
15:39Nikita trying to take advantage.
15:40Leg is hooked.
15:41Only gets two.
15:42I think there's a lot of questions that surround Maxine Dupree,
15:44to your point, what we've seen on Monday Night Raw.
15:47I don't really think we need to speculate on that,
15:50because we don't want anyone, you know,
15:51pointing fingers at us and starting to look over here.
15:54But when it comes to Maxine Dupree,
15:55the thing you said that was very interesting is two straight L's.
16:00What would happen if you took a third?
16:02It would be interesting to see right there.
16:04Certainly a lot of questions left to be answered surrounding Maxine Dupree.
16:07Look at Dupree right now.
16:08Nice counter.
16:09Rolls up Nikita.
16:11Gets only two right there.
16:12Of course, Maxine also celebrating a birthday earlier this week.
16:15Look at a finish on the highest of notes.
16:17She's under a text.
16:18We communicated.
16:20Very nice here.
16:21As Maxine right now staying one step ahead of Nikita Lyons.
16:24Big opportunity right here on main event.
16:27As Big Cat Kito with a big strike.
16:31And now looking for that tiger bone from the Lioness.
16:33Oh, this would be an upset.
16:35Enter the ring.
16:36And on the doorstep right there is Nikita Lyons.
16:39And look, Nikita Lyons is someone, too, who wants her name in the marquee,
16:41whether it's 48 hours on Saturday night's main event or next Sunday, as you mentioned, in Italy.
16:46And, of course, we're talking the women's division.
16:47A huge battle for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship this past Monday on Raw.
16:51The Judgment Day coming up just short.
16:53I mean, just short, but you talk about the men's tag team division.
16:58You talk about what we talk about with Frazier and Axiom.
17:00Think about all the teams right now that are looking for the women's tag team titles.
17:05And we have to mention the former champions, Lash Legend and Nia Jax.
17:09The irresistible forces certainly stepping up this Saturday.
17:12Saturday night's main event looking to become two-time women's tag team champions.
17:16As Maxine right now looking to overcome those two losses.
17:19We stay in.
17:21And both these superstars take each other out.
17:24Center of the ring.
17:25You know, Nikita Lyons right now, I think, is showing a lot.
17:27We talk about the NXT general manager.
17:29We also need to focus in on possibly what is she showcasing to Adam Pearce, the Raw general manager.
17:35Nick Aldis, the SmackDown general manager as well.
17:38You know, they are always looking for the newest talent.
17:41We certainly know about that huge six-woman tag team explosion coming up this Saturday representing Friday Night SmackDown.
17:45Oh, wow.
17:47But Maxine with that big sweeping kick.
17:50And Dupree.
17:52Center of the ring right here.
17:54That fisherman suplex.
17:58And Maxine back on her feet.
18:00And Vic, the straps are coming down.
18:02And this is where Maxine starts to enter into that zone.
18:06That has made her a champion in the past.
18:08Big leg drop right to the back of the neck.
18:11Innovative offense right there.
18:12Into the cover.
18:14And right on the doorstep once again is Maxine.
18:17Because, of course, we're talking about the women's tag team championships.
18:20Vic, you have to wonder who's next for Liv Morgan and the women's world championship.
18:23I don't even want to speculate on that.
18:26And it might only take one big roundhouse kick by Nikita.
18:30And two and seven eighths right there.
18:32Nikita Lyons almost the biggest winner.
18:34I am shocked.
18:35Yeah, you can say that again.
18:36But can't worry about the official in this matchup right now.
18:40She has to worry about Maxine.
18:41Maxine is on the ropes.
18:43Literally.
18:44He's to stay focused on her opponent.
18:46Keep her eyes on the prize.
18:47Maxine evades Nikita.
18:48Out of the corner.
18:50German release suplex.
18:51Look at the power here of the alpha babe.
18:53And Maxine, she's going up top.
18:56Vic, we know she wants to fly.
18:58And Maxine from all the way up top.
19:01The cross body.
19:03And the alpha babe scores the victory.
19:07Here is your winner.
19:11Maxine Dupree.
19:13Overcoming the odds here against big cat Kida.
19:17And Maxine Dupree refuses to lose three in a row here on main event.
19:21No, but take nothing away from Nikita Lyons.
19:23In this matchup.
19:23I mean, there was maybe an air towards the end when she took her eyes off of Maxine.
19:29Which, of course, led to that high cross body.
19:31And a big victory getting back on her winning ways.
19:34Maxine Dupree.
19:35The alpha babe seizes the moment.
19:36Comes away with a huge victory tonight on main event.
19:42Still to come on main event, the energetic, high-flying superstar, Javon Evans.
19:46Steps into the ring with a fellow young upstart and evolves Harlem Lewis.
19:50It's a clash of aerial offense and brute force.
19:52And it's coming your way.
19:54Next.
20:03The alpha babe seizes the moment.
20:05The alpha babe seizes the moment.
20:11The alpha babe seizes the moment.
20:18The alpha babe seizes the moment.
20:19The alpha babe seizes the moment.
20:20The alpha babe seizes the moment.
20:21The alpha babe seizes the moment.
20:21The alpha babe seizes the moment.
20:21The alpha babe seizes the moment.
20:22The alpha babe seizes the moment.
20:29On July 18th, the world's most famous arena delivers the main event.
20:40You know what time it is.
20:44It's Saturday night.
20:48Everyone is posing about this spectacle.
20:50It's Saturday night's main event at the Garden.
20:53The night of Fanatics Fest NYC.
20:56Tickets on sale now.
20:59Yo, boys.
21:02Time to get bouncy.
21:23Listen to this place.
21:29The following contest is scheduled for one call.
21:33Introducing first, from Cranesboro, North Carolina, weighing in at 195 pounds, Chibon Evans.
21:49Well, it's time to get bouncy right in the Young OG's backyard as we set for a very emotional matchup
21:55in the final action before Friday night's SmackDown.
22:00There's a man who loves to be home.
22:02He's ready right now to entertain the masses, steal the show, and pick up a huge win in the main
22:10event.
22:11The main event.
22:12As the mid-Atlantic.
22:14Loving them some young OG right here.
22:18Very big opportunity for Javon Evans.
22:21As we talked about just before Friday night's SmackDown.
22:24And look, this Saturday at Fort Wayne for Saturday night's main event.
22:28You know, it's going to be a huge 48 hours.
22:30And look, these are the events that Javon Evans wants to be a part of.
22:33Whether it's Saturday night's main event in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
22:36A week from Sunday, if it's a premium alignment.
22:39The first one ever to be held in Italy.
22:42These are the events that that man wants to be a part of.
22:45And he's going to be watching the Intercontinental Championship match very closely Saturday between Penta and Ethan Page.
22:54And his opponent, from Long Island, New York, waiting for 245 pounds, Harlem Lewis!
23:06Well, here comes NXT's very own Killjoy.
23:09And Vicky has a massive opportunity in front of him tonight.
23:12Not just a main event debut, but a chance to play spoiler to a hometown hero.
23:16This is somebody who has also been learning from Booker T.
23:21On LFG.
23:22And what's Booker always about?
23:25Checks?
23:26And this is someone who wants a buxom-sized bank account.
23:31This is someone who wants to have championships.
23:34This is someone who wants NXT success.
23:36This is someone who also wants to put his name in the lights.
23:40He's also someone who knows Javon Evans very well from their time in the Performance Center.
23:46Indeed he does. He's two have trained together.
23:48He's also someone who's not a very happy individual.
23:51That's very true.
23:51And he and he's been together for a couple of years.
23:53And he's talking about championships.
23:55For nearly the last year, Harlem Lewis has been very close to that Evolve championship.
24:01He would love to help that get himself to the next level.
24:03But looking at this opportunity right here, Vic, this, the biggest opportunity of his career.
24:08For Harlem Lewis it is.
24:09And this is someone who certainly is putting in the work.
24:11You talk about Evolve, NXT, NXT live events.
24:14Oh, we're going to take full advantage right here.
24:16And right now, not wasting any time because he knows just how massive an opportunity this is.
24:20And Vic, you talked about Harlem being on LFG, being on Evolve, really trying to find his place.
24:25What does he need to do to find a permanent place in this new era of NXT?
24:29I think that's a loaded question right now.
24:31But we can look right now and obviously see Harlem Lewis has no place.
24:35He's getting booed out of the building.
24:37And now the hometown hero starting to fire up and get bouncing.
24:42As Javon showing off the arsenal at church right here.
24:46Sending Harlem Lewis to the outside.
24:52And Javon looking to dial it up.
24:57Soaring right through the air is the young OG.
25:00Look how quickly Javon Evans realizing he wants to get Harlem Lewis back in.
25:04He doesn't want to win on a count out.
25:05He wants to win inside the squared circle and coming right back in between the eyes.
25:10Lewis' body buckled.
25:11Big connection by Evans.
25:12And the cover up's the outside leg.
25:14Referee Jessica Carr says it's only two.
25:16Let's take another look at Javon just soaring right over the top rope.
25:20I mean, he's talking about Sweet cleared the top rope.
25:24And we know Javon has a lot of momentum right now.
25:26Of course, just last week scored a huge victory over Rusev on Monday Night Raw.
25:31Certainly did, but listen to this place.
25:33And that just has to energize Javon Evans.
25:38Javon, he's dreamed his entire career for moments like this.
25:42Had to roll right through off that moonsault.
25:44Ducks coming right back in.
25:45It gets countered and a gnarly landing.
25:48And the Killjoy taking full advantage right now.
25:52245 pounds from Long Island, New York as Harlan Lewis looking to seize the opportunity right here.
25:57We talked about it with Big Cat Keita.
25:59You gotta wonder what's going through the mind of the NXT general manager.
26:02He's looking in, seeing possibly something that he hadn't seen before.
26:06Does a showing here, a good showing.
26:08I'm not even saying a victory.
26:09I'm just saying a coming out party, so to speak, for Harlan Lewis.
26:13Does that open the eyes of those for Tuesdays on NXT?
26:18And also you have to look at Wednesdays.
26:19Foreman Thatcher has to be taking a look right now at all the damage that Harlan Lewis is doing.
26:24Former Italian league football linebacker.
26:26He led the league in tackles.
26:27Vic, you've been around him in LFG.
26:29Does Harlan Lewis have the intensity to succeed in WWE?
26:32You can say I've been around him.
26:33I truly haven't been around him because I'm a little bit afraid of this man.
26:36With a nice gut wrench into that backbreaker.
26:39This is someone who is just unbridled rage.
26:42Looks at outside leg in Harlem.
26:44Intensity.
26:45You don't know what sort of mood he's going to be in.
26:48You don't want to anger the man.
26:49He can snap just like that.
26:52And Vic, speaking of mood, how about the World Heavyweight Champion's response to the rampage we saw one week ago
26:58from the Samoan Werewolf this past Monday.
27:00Well, what about what's coming up in Italy?
27:01Tribal combat.
27:03Will the third time be a charm for the OTC?
27:05You know, you take a look at tribal combat and, you know, Michael Cole was talking about this this past
27:10Monday on Raw.
27:11It's a matchup where you then have to acknowledge the winner.
27:17It's more than just about the championship that's on the line.
27:20As Javon Evans refusing to acknowledge Harlan Lewis right here.
27:23You talk about that training in the Performance Center.
27:25Maybe get a little personal right now inside the ring.
27:27It certainly is.
27:28You can't imagine what Harlan Lewis whispered into the ear of Javon Evans.
27:31There's got to be some sort of issue between these two because, yeah, they both were highly competitive inside the
27:38gym,
27:39inside the state-of-the-art Performance Center in Orlando.
27:42Speaking of the gym, Javon Evans put on about 15 pounds of muscle ever since coming to Monday Night Raw.
27:46And now the young OG looking to show off those skills in front of his hometown crowd.
27:52You know, isn't it interesting, though?
27:53You talk about putting on the muscle, putting on the weight, but he hasn't lost any of the spring in
27:57his step.
27:58He certainly hasn't.
27:59We're going to see it on full display right here.
28:01From the apron, right back in!
28:04That's what makes our superstar different than any other athletes in the world.
28:08You go to the NFL, you go to the NBA, they put on 15 pounds of muscle.
28:11They can't run as fast.
28:12They can't shoot as well.
28:13They can't throw as far.
28:14Javon Evans puts it on, and he doesn't lose a step.
28:17Hey!
28:18Hey!
28:19Hey!
28:21Young OG starting to feel it right here.
28:23Getting Greensboro behind him.
28:25Has Javon!
28:26Oh!
28:27And Harlan Lewis has it well scouted.
28:29We talk about him playing spoiler in this matchup, Vic.
28:32He certainly could, and what a victory this would be, career-defining.
28:36Looking for that boomslang, and Javon, nice counter with the go-behind.
28:41And Evans, big!
28:42Big connection with the knee.
28:44I think that was right underneath the jaw.
28:46Lewis is rocked.
28:47Evans realizing this could be that moment.
28:49And Javon from upstairs!
28:52Oh, G. Cutter!
28:55And Javon rolls over Harlem, and Evans bounces to a hometown victory.
29:03Here is your winner, Javon Evans!
29:10Impressive victory there for the Young OG.
29:12The emotion pouring out, doing it right in his backyard of Greensboro.
29:20Let's take another look at the action right now.
29:22Harlem Lewis going for all that boomslang.
29:25But Javon had a well scout, and the Young OG, big connection, as you said, Vic.
29:30Right underneath the jaw.
29:31Talking about a big connection.
29:32This was the biggest of them all!
29:35That O.G. Cutter!
29:38That's what it's all about, and Javon Evans, an emotional victory just 48 hours, perhaps,
29:44before he gets Penta's back from that Intercontinental Championship matchup.
29:48O.G., who do you think's the best?
29:50I'm about to show y'all why I am the best!
29:53And that's the Young OG!
29:54Some strong words from the Young OG after a hotel win, here on Main Event.
