WWE Main Event results: Ludwig Kaiser vs. Apollo Crews

Posted on by James Cox

This week’s WWE Main Event was taped at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania before Monday’s episode of Raw.

One poor and one good match this week, but it was a show that had a variety of fresh faces and was all the better for it.

Veer & Sanga w/Jinder Mahal defeated Noam Dar & Oro Mensah w/ Lash Legend & Jakarta Jackson (6:02)

Despite there being a lot of people in and around the ring, that traffic didn’t translate into much of an exciting match. It was largely slow and methodical interspersed with sporadic moments of pace.

For a while there, Veer was a Main Event regular, but this was just his second Main Event appearance as part of Indus Sher. For Mensah, it was his Main Event debut, and he did well.

Jinder Mahal looks very comfortable in the elder statesman role because he’s a very experienced performer now who has worked at the top level and been in big title matches in the past.

Dar and Mensah tried their best to inject some action into the match, but it quickly became a series of slow double-team moves from Veer and Sanga, cutting the ring in half and using quick tags. Everything was made to look bigger than it was, with the camera kept low to make even an elbow drop look damaging.

Dar got a hot tag after Mensah had been destroyed for a while, but this was quickly thwarted as he and Mensah tried to get Veer off his feet. Veer reversed it into a double suplex in what was probably the highlight of the match.

In the end, Sanga held Dar up as if he was going to use a backbreaker while Veer came off the second rope with a leg drop and they got the win from there.

Ludwig Kaiser defeated Apollo Crews (7:11)

This was a much stronger match than the opener as Kaiser and Crews were great together. It was a genuine 50-50 bout with a real smoothness about how they worked.

While this match marked Kaiser’s Main Event debut, Apollo Crews has been here many, many times before. Yet, it was Crews’ first televised match since August, in a summer where he was a show regular.

They worked quickly together in the opening couple of minutes, but went to an early commercial break when Crews clotheslined Kaiser over the top rope to the floor.

When they came back, although there was a brief rest hold, it was all action as both men tried to get the win. Crews used a belly to back suplex to get some separation and as he was mid-air, Kaiser threw out out his hands in desperation. There’s a lot to like about Kaiser and his instincts are clearly very good.

After Crews hit his standing moonsault, he went up to the top rope. Kaiser had it scouted and nailed Crews with a kick to the head. At some point here Kaiser had bloodied his nose, but it made it look all the more cool when he hooked in his finisher and glared at the hard cam.

He held Crews a bit like you would for a Sister Abigail, but hooked his arm behind Crews’ neck so that he could transition into a DDT to get the win.

There was a lot to like and enjoy here but, sadly, I don’t think Kaiser is about to become a Main Event regular anytime soon.

WWE Main Event results: Nikki Cross vs. Tegan Nox

Posted on by Arya Witner

To celebrate my surgery going well, the show began with a five-minute video package recapping last weekend’s SummerSlam.

This week’s WWE Main Event was taped last Monday in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with Byron Saxton and Wade Barrett on the call. Barrett threatened to quit after Saxton did a bad “Bad News Barrett” impression.

Indus Sher (Veer Mahaan & Sanga) (w/ Jinder Mahal) defeated Apollo Crews & Akira Tozawa (3:57)

As mentioned last week, if you are a Crews fan, Main Event is the show for you as he has now appeared on eight of the last ten episodes. Tozawa is coming off a loss two weeks ago to Sanga. Saxton made sure to call Mahal a former WWE Champion which is somehow even more preposterous in 2023 than it was in 2017.

Sanga was tired of beating up Tozawa, so he encouraged Crews to tag in. Crews got a brief flurry of offense in before tagging out and then Tozawa had no chance. Tozawa didn’t fare any better against Mahaan, but was able to fend him off long enough to tag out to Crews. 

Crews ran wild for 30 seconds and, again, tagged out to Tozawa. Well, the third time was the charm as Tozawa finally got in some offense, at least until Mahaan hit a full body block. Finally, Sanga pinned Tozawa after a double team move where Sanga held Tozawa and Mahaan came off the middle rope with an elbow drop.

A bunch of stuff happened on Raw and SummerSlam that got replayed for the next 22 minutes (minus commercial breaks). If you care, you already know what happened. If you don’t know what happened and care to find out, you are definitely reading the wrong report.

Nikki Cross defeated Tegan Nox (7:40)

Did you remember Nox was drafted to Raw? Neither did I.

Cross got a large reaction by shoulder blocking Nox to the mat and then doing a wacky dance. The fans were less excited when Nox then used an STO into the middle turnbuckle and then were even less excited when Nox mocked Cross’ dance. Apparently, this is a rematch from two months ago on Main Event which was won by Cross. 

Cross ran down the apron with a crossbody to Nox while Nox was outside the ring. Returning from commercial, we were back in the ring and Cross hit the ten punches of doom. 

Cross is horribly miscast as a heel as in my three weeks of doing Main Event reports. She is the only person the crowd is into. Nox used a series of kicks to get the advantage and then used a face-first suplex for a 2 count.

The fans broke into a “Let’s go Nikki” chant as I started to wonder if she is still a heel. 

Cross fired up and hit a bulldog before going to the top rope. Nox knocked her off and Cross fell on her face. Nox went for the cover and put her feet on the ropes, but the referee caught her and stopped the count. Cross then won with a swinging neckbreaker.

That does it for Main Event this week. Some people won, some people lost. What’s most important is we spent almost 12 minutes watching wrestling and there isn’t anything wrong with that. 

This is also my last scheduled Main Event report. There are three guarantees in life: Death, taxes and someone will be back next weekend reporting on this show.

WWE Main Event results: Bronson Reed vs. Apollo Crews

Posted on by Arya Witner

Last week’s WWE Main Event was taped at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, before last Monday’s Raw. Byron Saxton and Kevin Patrick were on the call. 

Dana Brooke defeated Xia Li (5:41)

They showed clips of Brooke’s recent match on NXT with Cora Jade. Saxton said Li wants to hurt Brooke and that Brooke is channeling a more aggressive side. 

Brooke aggressively worked a headlock, which Li got out of with a foot stomp. She tried dragging Li to the corner and tripped over the referee, falling to the ground. The crowd, which wasn’t paying attention, didn’t notice.

Li got a near fall with a running kick and then yelled at the quiet crowd to shut up, which led to a three-second “Let’s go Dana” chant.

The crowd woke up during Brooke’s comeback. She used several snapmares and a slap to the face. They grappled on the ropes, which Brooke got the better of and the former 24/7 Champion later after hitting a swanton.

Tonight on Main Event: Seth Rollins & Sami Zayn vs Damien Priest & Dirty Dominik Mysterio. Wow! What a huge match for WWE Main Event….oh wait, it’s just a replay of Raw last week. For all your information on the shows people watch, go read the Raw, SmackDown, NXT, Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision reports on the site.

Bronson Reed defeated Apollo Crews (6:48)

The main event of Main Event featured a former Intercontinental and United States Champion vs. a man who cleanly pinned Kazuchika Okada one year ago. If you like Crews, Main Event is the show for you as he has wrestled on seven of the last nine episodes. 

These two worked really well together and the crowd was into it within 90 seconds. Crews did a dive over the top rope and then went for a top rope move in the ring but Reed cut him off. Reed delivered a running shoulder block off the apron before we went to commercial.

Back from commercial and back in the ring, Reed squished Apollo in the corner and locked in a waist lock. Crews fought back up, elbowed his way out, and hit a jaw jacker. He followed that up with an enzuigiri to the back of Reed’s head, multiple kicks, a corner splash, and a flying crossbody off the top rope to finally knock Reed off his feet. 

Crews tried picking Reed up on his shoulders but failed. Reed went for a power bomb but failed. Crews finally picked Reed up, but Reed got out of it, hit a cyclone powerslam and then his Tsunami splash for the pin.

So that does it for Main Event. I am on a 144-hour break and have surgery Monday so send some positive thoughts my way and until next Sunday, have a great week!

WWE Main Event results: JD McDonagh vs. Apollo Crews

Posted on by James Cox

This week’s WWE Main Event was taped at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, before Monday’s Raw.

This was a perfectly watchable show but Apollo Crews vs. JD McDonagh III was a disappointment given how strong their first two exchanges were.

Riddick Moss defeated Akira Tozawa (5:20)

This match was all about Moss, although Tozawa appeared to have hope at times. Moss bullied his opponent and showed off his power in a fairly run-of-the-mill match.

This was Moss’ first win since dropping the Madcap name in May. Meanwhile, Tozawa, who doesn’t get many wins anyway, lost here for the 15th time in 2023. For a loser, he’s a pretty fantastic performer.

Moss worked Tozawa over pretty much from the get-go with Tozawa flipping all over for him. Tozawa sold a clothesline as if it had killed him and took a posting before having to work his way out of a rest hold.

The hope came as Tozawa played the plucky babyface, coming off the top rope with a back elbow and turning a power bomb into a hurricanrana. The crowd really liked Tozawa and was rooting for him as he was getting some shine.

In the end, Tozawa got caught coming off the top and Moss was able to put him in a delayed suplex before using a modified jackhammer for the win.

Apollo Crews defeated JD McDonagh (6:35)

This was the long-awaited rubber match between these two, but it didn’t deliver nearly as well as the previous two.

McDonagh took control in the early going. He was trash talking Crews and definitely looking more of a heel than he has in previous weeks. 

They went outside and McDonagh tried to get one over on Crews, but Crews had him scouted and rolled him back inside. McDonagh was sent over the top rope with a clothesline as we headed to the commercial break.

Crews worked out of a side headlock and came off the top rope with a beautiful crossbody for a near fall. The hang time alone here was impressive.

They started to trade near falls in what was easily the best segment of the match. There was much grace here amongst the big boots and kicks to the head. McDonagh loves the Spanish Fly and I think the one he did here was the best-looking of all of the ones he’s done with Crews.

Unfortunately, they went to the finish quite quickly after they had started to really get going. Crews caught McDonagh off the top rope, hoisted him up onto his shoulders, and delivered his Samoan Drop for the win.  

WWE Main Event results: Apollo Crews vs. Riddick Moss

Posted on by James Cox

Last week’s WWE Main Event was taped at the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Maryland, before Monday’s Raw.

Good performances all around made for a solid show. I thought we would get the Apollo Crews vs. JD McDonagh rubber match, but Crews vs. Riddick Moss was a good placeholder and Madcap Moss seems a distant memory at this point. If they did this all over again next week, that would be fine by me.

JD McDonagh defeated Akira Tozawa (5:07)

This was a fine opener with Tozawa once again delivering a standout performance to put over an up-and-comer.

McDonagh tore the house down in his victory over Crews on the 6/29 episode, but this was more like an extended squash. 

The crowd was not as hot here as they were last week and seemed to be sitting on their hands for McDonagh’s offensive onslaught. They really only came alive when Tozawa fired up and started flying all over the place.

McDonagh is excellent in the ring, but his presentation needs some work. His entrance is a bit underwhelming and his music is quite generic. It would be good to see him have a program against a top babyface to give him something to sink his teeth into.

They did lots of mat work here with McDonagh bullying Tozawa and trying quick pin attempts. Tozawa landed a hurricanrana and top rope cannonball before he went for the senton. He flew into McDonagh’s knees who seized the chance to hit him with the Devil Inside for the victory.

Apollo Crews defeated Riddick Moss (7:30)

This was a good match between two strong individuals with Crews back on track after his loss to McDonagh last week.

As soon as the bell rang, Moss flew at Crews and nailed him with a spinebuster. He followed it up with two big spears to the corner. He tried a third but ran into a boot and then caught Crews’ crossbody attempt, throwing him away with a fallaway slam.

The first half of the match, before the commercials, continued in the same vein until Crews used a dropkick and a Stinger splash to get some separation. He then dumped Moss over the top rope and came off the apron with a moonsault leading into a commercial break. 

When we came back, they were fighting on the top rope and when Crews got the better of Moss, he hit him with a cross body for a near fall.

It was a bunch of near falls from then on but the crowd were definitely into it. They even got behind Moss with a chant despite him playing the heel.

In the end, Crews hit Moss with two high knees and got the win with a Samoan Drop, but this was a really good fight that never looked clear cut.

WWE Main Event results: Apollo Crews vs. JD McDonagh

Posted on by James Cox

Last week’s WWE Main Event was taped at the EnMarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia, before Monday’s episode of Raw.

This was a perfectly watchable episode. Hopefully, we get the rubber match next week between JD McDonagh and Apollo Crews because these two could tear the house down in front of a British crowd.

Katana Chance (w/ Kayden Carter) defeated Emma (5:27)

This was a nice short match and really showed off how good Chance could be.

Chance looked very good in just her second match on Main Event (she defeated Tamina on an episode in December) and her first since officially joining the main roster. She is much shorter than Emma, but has bouts where she explodes into fiery offense and has a really unique in-ring move set to boot.

Emma has featured heavily on Main Event over the last few months and, like Dana Brooke, has been a steady hand with the newbies from NXT. There is nothing especially dazzling about what she does, but she carries herself like a star.

For a match that lasted just over five minutes, it felt like they got a lot in, but it was mostly Emma who dictated the pace while Chance played the babyface in peril. Carter was on the sidelines cheerleading, trying to rally her from Emma’s methodical beatdown.

Chance did The Miz’s running clothesline to the corner where he sits on the rope afterward and then used a spinning Codebreaker to get the win after some distraction from Carter.

This continued Emma’s poor run of form as she has just one win to her name in all of 2023.

JD McDonagh defeated Apollo Crews (7:37)

This was a tremendous offering from these two with some really neat near falls that the crowd got into at the end.

After last week’s strong outing, they went at it again, but with a different outcome this time. The loss for Crews is his first since he returned to the main roster.

The early going was fairly even with Crews using an impressive delayed suplex before missing a moonsault off the apron to the outside, giving McDonagh the advantage as we headed to the break.

The second half of the match was really action-packed and got the crowd heavily invested as they broke into a ‘this is awesome’ chant. Last week, they did a Spanish Fly in the middle of the ring and it looked fantastic. McDonagh used it again here and it was even better, getting a near fall.

The finish came after McDonagh kicked out of a sit-out power bomb when no one thought he would. Last week, the finish was a Samoan Drop, but this week McDonagh escaped it and used the ropes to steal a roll-up win.

Let’s hope they do this all over again next week as McDonagh is someone who needs reps in front of big crowds.

WWE Main Event results: Apollo Crews vs. Akira Tozawa, Xia Li in action

Posted on by James Cox

This past week’s WWE Main Event was taped at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, before Monday’s Raw.

Candice LeRae defeated Xia Li (4:45)

This was a fine opener. Li got some of her stuff in and LeRae seems to be getting over.

Li made her Main Event debut, playing the heel and taking her time over everything that she did. She certainly looked comfortable enough. Byron Saxton noted that she had not quite got going over on SmackDown.

LeRae was at the top of the show last week in a winning debut performance, and seems to have something that the crowd likes. Either that or it was Li as her opponent that they disliked.

Li was methodical and burst into occasional flurries of offense, using a modified suplex at one point to throw LeRae across the ring. She tried a chin lock before LeRae broke loose and nailed her with a series of strikes in the corner.

They worked back and forth until Xi caught LaRae’s leg and got nailed with a kick to the head. LeRae stepped on her back, hit a senton and went to the middle rope for her moonsault finish to get her second win in as many weeks.

Apollo Crews defeated Akira Tozawa (7:09)

This was a solid match that was what you would expect. If Crews is back on the Raw roster, though, this isn’t the way to book him.

Before his run back on NXT, Crews had become quite the regular on Main Event. He and Commander Azeez were often tagging up or Crews would work solo with Azeez in his corner. It was an act that they grew tired of when it actually had legs.

As noted on commentary, Tozawa and Crews have worked together in a previous life and it showed. They were smooth and did the whole power vs. pace thing well.

Crews used a Perfect Plex at one point after having clotheslined Tozawa out of his boots, but as ever Tozawa was plucky to the last. He gave Crews a run for his money with a running headscissors and top rope back elbow.

After a segment where they traded kicks, including Tozawa going to town with a veritable can can of kicks, he tried to go up top for his finish, but got caught and nailed with a Samoan drop to give Crews the win.

The finish was really neat and the crowd was into it. Crews looked dominant and Tozawa continued his run of being excellent in the curtain jerker role for these pre-Raw crowds.

Final Thoughts:

This was a  perfectly pleasant enough show this week. It was nice to see Crews back in action and for Li to make her show debut. The crowd certainly seem to like LeRae, so they should probably do something more with her.

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Two title matches are set for next week’s SmackDown.

Dabba-Kato returns at WWE NXT Vengeance Day, turns on Apollo Crews

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Dabba-Kato made his return to NXT at Vengeance Day, turning on his former friend Apollo Crews.

Kato returned towards the end of the Crews/Carmelo Hayes 2 out of 3 falls match that took place Saturday. Trick Williams was on the apron about to use a chair when Kato grabbed the chair from Williams. Crews acknowledged Kato but the distraction proved to be a costly one, as Hayes regained control and pinned Crews with a top rope legdrop, winning two straight falls.

After the match, Kato helped Crews up to his feet and the two hugged. However, it was a swerve, as Kato laid out Crews with a chokeslam on the steel chair.

Kato and Crews were a unit on the main roster back when Crews was Intercontinental Champion, with Kato using the name Commander Azeez. However, he was sent back to NXT last summer, working a handful of house shows since then. He had previously used the Dabba-Kato name prior to being called up.

Apollo Crews vs. Carmelo Hayes set for next week’s WWE NXT

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Apollo Crews will take on Carmelo Hayes next week on NXT.

Other matches announced for next Tuesday include Alba Fyre vs. Isla Dawn in an anything goes match, Trick Williams vs. Axiom, Hank Walker vs. Charlie Dempsey, and Grayson Waller will host the latest episode of The Waller Effect with Bron Breakker as a guest.

Apollo Crews returned on last week’s NXT after losing to Bron Breakker at Deadline earlier this month. Hayes interrupted his promo and the two exchanged words. Williams will face Axiom after Axiom laid out Williams following a loss to Hayes.

Fyre and Dawn have continued their feud following Deadline, where Dawn scored the win over Fyre. On last week’s show, Dawn attacked Fyre prior to a match against Sol Rouca, first attacking Fyre backstage then later attacking her hand as she made her way to the ring. Both exchanged words against one another on Tuesday’s show.

Dempsey interrupted a training session hosted by Drew Gulak during Tuesday’s show, looking for a match for next week. Walker, who joined Gulak for the training session, accepted the match saying it would be an exhibition bout.

Later in the show, Bron Breakker watched a video of Grayson Waller saying he wasn’t at NXT this week because he was back home in Australia. After the video was over, Breakker destroyed the TV set, still angry after being knocked out by a metal plate in Waller’s chest after going for a spear on last week’s NXT.

Here is the lineup for next week’s show:

  • Apollo Crews vs. Carmelo Hayes
  • Alba Fyre vs. Isla Dawn in an anything goes match
  • Trick Williams vs. Axiom
  • Charlie Dempsey vs. Hank Walker
  • The Grayson Waller Effect with guest Bron Breakker

Apollo Crews details how Edge gave him weekly promo help in WWE

Posted on by Josh Nason

Current WWE NXT roster member Apollo Crews revealed during an interview that Edge would give him and others weekly help with promos via FaceTime conversations.

Talking on the Out of Character podcast, Crews said it began during the pandemic when Edge contacted several talents and direct messaged Crews.

“…While he was injured with his triceps injury, he was talking about helping some of the younger guys with promos. So I was like, man, here’s an opportunity. Extremely uncomfortable. He’s talking about FaceTiming him once a week. I’m like, Man, I hate FaceTime. I hate even talking on the phone, right? But I was like, here’s a man who’s taking his time to help me get better and advance in my career. So I have to do this, right? I have to do it,” he said.

He said they talked weekly with Edge giving him advice on how to improve, sending him up to eight to ten promos a day which Edge watched and then commented on.

“He was literally breaking and watching each one and breaking them down and breaking them down,” he explained.

Crews also said after he debuted his Nigerian character on the main roster, Edge embraced him after he came to the back and was “genuinely happy that I went out there and just did that.”

“I have nothing but great things to say about him and I’m very grateful that he reached out and wanted to help not just me, but some of the other guys advance and just be better. You have someone like that who’s done everything here and here he is reaching out to us to kind of pass some of the game along. How do you pass up on that opportunity?,” he said.

Bron Breakker vs. Apollo Crews set for WWE NXT Deadline

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Two matches have been announced for NXT Deadline.

It was confirmed on Tuesday’s show that Bron Breakker will defend the NXT Championship against Apollo Crews. Meanwhile, The Creed Brothers have issued a challenge to Indus Sher for the December 10 event.

Crews confirmed during a vignette tonight that he would be getting the next title match after defeating JD McDonagh on a recent episode of NXT. He said during the vignette that he had been waiting six months for this moment and couldn’t wait to face Breakker.

The Creed Brothers appeared on Tuesday’s show after Ivy Nile had defeated Kiana James. Julius Creed told Indus Sher that they may have the respect of India but they don’t have it in the ring. Nile seemed upset that The Creeds used her time to challenge Indus Sher.

Here is the updated lineup for NXT Deadline:

  • NXT Championship: Bron Breakker (c) vs. Apollo Crews
  • The Creed Brothers vs. Indus Sher
  • Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge match
  • Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge match
