WWE Main Event Review - Episode 1

to speak WWE. And what better opportunity are than doing it with maybe a show that not many people really watch or I guess not really see or really care about.

But I guess this gives me the opportunity to kind of discuss WWE and kind of give about some content to you guys, and hopefully you enjoyed what I put out for SmackDown in those two weeks, And yeah, I just kind of want to continue putting out content, obviously improving on the mic and proving the way I put out podcasts and most importantly giving you guys some content and maybe a few things to learn as well on the way, considering that not time to take in all

the content and you guys rely on podcasts, get updates and whatnot. But yeah, as this goes, I'm just going to see how things go, if I'm honest, and then just kind of roll with it. I did want to get this out sooner, but in here in Australia, the streaming service that I use has main events that are literally like a week late, which I'm not sure why is the case for those that don't know what main

event is and how it works. It's essentially for the lower to mid tier card wrestlers, it's always before London at raw, hence why they're in kind of big stadiums in the same stadiums, but they normally get taped out like three or four days later, but in my case, it turns out it's more than more than two weeks. So basically what I'm gonna try to do is see as soon as I can find the stream, and I guess the watch the main event and give you guys my content and usually with the main events as well.

I forgot to mention they do have some raw snippets as well, so I guess it'll give me an opportunity to kind of give my takes and my views on what's happening over on Monday Night RUW, which is also exciting. So I guess there's a lot of room to play around with this. It'll be interesting to see how we kind of go, how things kind of work out, and yeah, I guess week on week open to any feedback, and yeah, we'll see how I can obviously improve it as well.

But yeah, a new show, something different, obviously trying to help out as much as I can, and yeah, again really looking forward to it. In the end, it is talking about WWE, so any WW contents fine for me. But yeah, without further ado, let's get underway with the

first main event review. Alrighty, so we kick off the show with two NXT stars, one Wesley against Dion Lennox well the unex technically not really an NXT star, but I would assume that he'd be moving over to there as this is his first Yeah, I guess main card debut up against Wes Lee, who's had quite some decent

runs in NXT with the North American Championship. He wins the match in about seven minutes with the cardiac kick, and I guess from what I saw here, if I'm quite honest and don't really watch an XT that much, trying to obviously get into it now that I'm going to be starting doing content with you guys, but yeah, matchman for seven minutes, not really much to see there, I guess, showing that the veteran is more and much more experienced than the Lenox there, who was obviously a

linebacker before as mentioned in the commentary, and yeah, been new to the scene, but from what I saw from down Lennox, he looked pretty strong, pretty powerful there. Obviously, this is his first rodeo, so I don't think a loss will affect him too much, but it'd be interested to see how he goes in n XT if he does get a spot there. He did put up a pretty nice, mean looking spinebuster which turned back to clocks for me personally, so that was nice to see, and

west Lee obviously showing his experience there. I think the only thing I would probably flag with him is that he's extremely undersized, so don't really know what he would do much in the main card on raws back on the main shows I'm talking about, Yeah, but I guess maybe there might be some big things for Wesley in the future on NXT, and I guess look out for that if you are, yeah, wanting to see these up

and coming superstars. It was just a good display, simple match, a lot of good moves and yeah, Wesley came out with the victory there, and yeah, obviously with main events since they have a whole show but not really many matches. It moves over to I guess back to Raw where Sampunk has that promo with or addressing Seth Rowlins basically as saying that he did ghost him in the past

and he wanted to move on from things. But essentially Seth Rowlins was in his shadow continuing on to yeah, make this his problem, and as we saw, they got out, got onto a wild braw and it looks like they're going to be fighting for or fighting on Netflix. My opinion on this for I guess it's good, but I feel like it's a bit more premature. I really like to see them fight at WrestleMania on the biggest stage. I think that would be the right situation. For them.

It is also interesting, however, this is going to be the main event of Netflix and not the tribal combat fight between Solo and Romans. So yeah, I think they may have this match, but I feel as though it's not going to be the last time we see these two in a ring together. Punks obviously claiming that he's the bad guy, obviously a swing to get the fans on his side. We know that regular working people always going to be on the side of the rebellious and

the ones that are going against the company. Was as I'm previously mentioned, with Matt Seth Rowlins being the company guy, the one that's following the rules, the one that's always

been on w W side. Again, the whole feud is quite silly, Like I know that they have beef, real lovee beef, but when it came to Sampung not reaching out to Seth Rowlins being the sole reason, it's real petty, Like, let's be honest here, I imagine you just like not talking to someone and they get upset there they don't answer.

Like I can understand all the other stuff with him leaving WWE, having a bad name and talking bad about the WWE when he left, then I can understan why seth Ron's getting angry, but because he didn't return your call, you're getting upset just doesn't really make sense. I think they don't really need to overpush the hate between each other because I feel as though everyone kind of knows the hate. It was well done when Sampunk came back last year or the year before almost in Surviva series.

So this just has to be sorted in an orderly manner. I think how they have their match this week and maybe in the raw rumble Seth Rowlands Coross Sampunk or something where so this match can continue, and I guess there can be a clear face of hell going into WrestleMania, because I really, I really don't think that this is going to be their only match, and it'll be good to see then yeah, go at it for a few

more matches as well. Yeah, whether it's elimination Chamber, someone interferes someone else, or whether I think personally that Seth Rowlins interferes with Cmpunk and kind of cuts out any of his championship aspirations, which is clear what Sampunk is showing that he's going for. But yeah, I think that's where the opportunity is there because I don't really again see that the fight on Raw Deviu on Netflix is gonna It's gonna solve a lot of problems. It can't

be a one undone this one. But yeah, we move on. We get a shins K Knackamoura promo. I'm loving the new Knakamura cameo as well. So yeah, again, as mentioned, main event kind of jumps in and out of Ruin SmackDown, which allows me to obviously review the main shows too, which is good. It's nice touch or us. This podcast would literally go for like ten minutes and we wouldn't have any content for you guys. And I guess give

him My opinion is why not? You know, I do watch both shows, so I guess my opinion can mean something. But yeah, they do a promo of shins K Nakamore, basically him saying that La nised first, he didn't deserve to have the United States Championship and basically insinuating that this is going to be the start of something for him. And it's really good to see Nakamoor like this. As I mentioned, I really like Shinsky. I've always loved Shinsky.

I feel like he's unbelievable in the ring. His promo work. Obviously, not speaking English didn't help him, but with these new dark kind of cut scenes and videos, they found a brilliant way to kind of, I guess, showcase his message and basically his new demeanor now, which is great. We're

now seeing a darker side of Shinske. We're seeing a more kind of mysterious vibe and something that's really different before he was he got off the shows, he was just essentially a job by losing matches, and I feel like that's such a big waste for such a experienced wrest line and someone that's done a lot for wrestling around the whole world, especially in Japan and even coming to WWE. So it's a really good opportunity for shinsk to kind of, yeah, I guess, grow from In the

United States Championship. As much as I love La and Night, I think it was a great core for she to get to win, and hopefully this gets kind of sorted and La and I can move on to bigger and better things, and to be honest, for him, that's going for world championships or having bigger feuds as well, because I definitely think La Night is more than the United States Championship, and that's not mean to say that Shunske isn't, but obviously him coming back from a big spell of

live TV, I know he was doing house shows makes this just this run a little bit more interesting. And it's always much better when a Heell is a champion as well, because you get to see the dirty tactics, you get to see how they kind of defend the champion as well, and maybe there'll be a good match in the future for him. I'm making a bold prediction here. We haven't seen aj styles in a while, and I'd like to see them kind of lace it up again in a match for that US title as well. I

think it would be really interesting. We then get onto Raw, so another Raw show back gone to the Intercontinental Championship match between bron Breaker and Kaiser, where we see bron Breaker win here, and let's be honest, we're not surprised that bron Breaker retained his title. They've been really trying to push Kaiser a lot this year, and I am all for it, but I still think that the only way you're really going to push Kaiser is to somehow find a way to separate him from Guntha, and I

know he hasn't been involved with Guntha at all. They haven't really been showing much of them together, but I really would like to see like an official split up between the two. That way we can kind of take Kaiser a little bit more seriously. I think, because he's got potential. He's really good in the rim. He's having a lot of good feuds between superstars. That feud with Shamus is pretty solid. He showcased that he can keep up with the current superstars at the moment and make

a case for the Intercontinental Championship. But at the same time, he's still I think personally viewed as gone to sidekick even though he's not being sidekick. That hasn't been in an official split up there, so it would be good to see that. It'd also be good for him to kind of, yeah, make a bit stronger case on winning a championship as well, because at the moment, I don't think brom Breakers looking like losing at all. So yeah, again, interested to see what they do with Kaiser after this.

This surely doesn't really help him at all. I think it just continues that reputation that oh, yeah, he's good, he's solid. He's having good matches, but he's not going to win, So yeah, they're in a tough spot there. I think the Gunfer a future gun for feud might be good if they if they're willing to push him to the limits, but I don't think he's ready for that yet and I think Gunpher is too over at the moment. But yeah, that's what I think. I think

a split there is imminent if I'm honest. We then go back to the main event, which is great, back to what we're supposed to be reviewing with the Unholy Union going against Kevin Kind and Katana Chance, and yeah, the Unholy Union. What a fall from grace they've had.

Ever since they lost the titles, they've done nothing. And I think the reason why they won the titles in the first place just because it was in Scotland and they haven't fall clashed the Castle when they want it, and they haven't figured out a way to get them involved again because we're seeing them on main event shows. They get the win here, just a back and forth match,

classic match. They're nothing really to talk about here. They get the win, and I don't know, I guess they could potentially get back into the tag team for both tag teams, but there really isn't much for them, if I'm honest, and I feel as though the match is

a bit of a waste for main event. I feel like getting in some NXT talent would make more sense in that aspect because you're not really seeing where these superstars are going to go, like Cadan Kind and Katana Chance as tag teams, don't really see them going anywhere as singles players, not really either. They're definitely superstars that can easily be replaced with what's going on in any tea right now with Rox and Peiers, l of Ice and all that that could definitely do a better job.

And even if you can't get him on the next TA, get him on main events before before Raw, so then that the audience can kind of have their eyes sudden them and see how they perform, because we've seen enough of I guess the Young Holy Union and also Katie Karida, Katana Chance, and let's face it, they don't look near ready for a title contendership. And it's pretty sad because there is a need of women's tag teams and these four haven't really shown that. The match, though, as I said,

was average, back and forth. Good display, but in terms of them going forward as tag teams, there doesn't seem to be a pathway there for any success. But you never know. Maybe they'll get their opportunities back on Raw, if there's some transfers that might go on SmackDown and see if they can do anything. But again, with that one championship belt, it is also hard to kind of chop and change these superstars because they don't really have a certain destination. So yeah, it will be interesting to

see what happens. Maybe back on continue to do main events shows before, but yeah, a bit difficult in that aspect. We then had the main event back on Raw with the war Raiders taking on Finnbala and JD McDonough for the World Tag Team champions and as we did see, just as I guess, Jada McDonald and Finnbala were gonna get up to their normal antics disqualifying themselves and maintaining the title, which I for one second really thought was going to happen, and quite failing, was going to be

very disappointed if it did. Thankfully, Damian Priest came out stopped Finnbala from obviously using the chair, and then that led to the war Raiders winning the match, finally ending this underwhelming reign between Finndala and Jada McDonough which them defend the title about three or four times. And now we've got some actual tag teams that hopefully will defend

the titles on a regular basis. I'll be interesting to see watch direction they go with the new and revamped war Raiders, which are looking like to be faces of the BW now before there were heels, and obviously with a new outlook and new name to top that off, and I guess that will lead into another Damien Priest and Finnbella program where this might continue one all the way to WrestleMania, especially with the Royal Rumbill coming up with another Saturday Night Man event, we may see this

storyline go all the way until then. And should we do really good things for Finnbala, I feel like this will put Damien Priest over the top and eventually he'll end up contending for heavyweight champions again in the future. But I think with that feud, I think there's a lot to go there that haven't really scratched the surface of it much. We obviously had bad blood where they had their their their fight, but it'd be good to

see if there's any more. Oh, there's a stipulation added to that, and I feel like on a personal basis, actually, I know a lot of people do like one v one fighting without any additional stipulations, but I felt like there wasn't many many last year, so it'd really be good to see these two I have something involved with extreme rules, whether it's tables match, I didn't even know. I'm just seeking it at the top of my head.

Some to that involves the stiplsion so that we can see this kind of more more exposed and with more violence. But yeah, I think that's pretty much how we're going to finish it off. I don't really see myself doing these episodes for thirty minutes or so, just because of the fact that there's not really much content on main event.

But again, this is the first go at it. We're going to see how things go on a week to week, so there may be some inconsistencies with the content early on, just again trying to figure out ways to kind of bring this out to you guys, and also figure out what's going on with the streams. As I mentioned at the start, of the start of the show. Here in Australia, we have for some reason a week delay in main event shows, so I found myself being a one week

behind each week. But we'll try to fix that up and get that content as soon as possible, especially because obviously these shows are filmed before Monday Night Raw, so I obviously want to get these out before the next episode of Raw there. But that's why there's been a delay, So apologies for that, and yeah, hopefully I can get some consistency on that, and yeah, continue to kind of just give out my opinions and shows and it does

help with raw content. I'm able to kind of bounce off that too because they do obviously screen that on the main event show, so not really missing out on too much there. But yeah, it's been it's been a pleasure and we'll catch youse on next week's episode.
