The one that Everybody Wants Me sixteen. So just well, your ass is mind, you can acknowledge me what is going on everybody, and welcome to another main event review. Thank you very much for tuning into this week's episode. We're coming off the back of Night of Champions, which we reviewed last week, and back to normal proceedings with the two main event matches and also the events that

transpired on Raw as well. This recording was a little bit different normally in the main events for those that do know or don't know, we're recorded the night before the next coming Monday Night Raw, but this time it was recorded in Saudi Arabia on SmackDown before before the

SmackDown show there. It seems as though that they forgot to bring the main event banners because there was SmackDown across the ring when when they were in Saudi Arabia, So the two matches will have SmackDown banners all around. But yeah, this was filmed before before before SmackDown, so that's probably why that was the case. But yeah, a few things to get through there or else. Everything else was pretty much the same as what main event normally

is anyway. So we do get off and kick away with the first match, and that was the Guarda delphan Tasma taking on Thraxium, the Gardadel delf Phantasma. I keep getting the name always mixed up when I say it gets the victory here Angel and Burda, which was a bit of a surprise to me given that Thraxium have started off on fire and we're pretty much close to getting a World Tag Team Championship on SmackDown and now

they're losing on main event. I guess probably the main reason why that's the case is because the Gata del Fantasma are the Triple A Tag Team Champions and if you guys have the chance to watch that match, it was a really good match. I ended up actually watching it on Triple A and they won the title. Then, given that they have the partnership with each other, obviously they're able to bring those belts to WWE, which they

have done. So I guess this is them just flexing their muscles, giving them that kind of momentum and to defend that belt, but also to sort of flex that out on a main show as well, and I guess if thracks and beat them, then they'd be contenders for that championship too, and it just overcomplicate things. But this is just a standard match. I think nothing that will change the storyline there. Obviously, the tag team division has ramped up in SmackDown, especially now with the integration of

the Yat six two. They're looking to get their nose involved in tag team business. And I always say this SmackDown's doing a really good job at the tag team division and how it's been structured, but rules really lacking behind, So it might there might need to be a bit of a kind of shift in getting these tag teams on rules as well, hopefully. But Thraxium and are new and they're coming off NXT. They started hot and they're sort of slowing down at the moment, But I don't

think it will really affect anything there. The tag team division will remain competitive and Fraction will be involved in that as well, and Legarda de van Delf Fantasma will continue to stay as there are. There was a bit of teasers that Berdo could potentially leave. They were sort of teasing that with Santran Siscoba, they weren't really getting along and he sort of was trying to get convinced

but from Monreido. So I'm not really sure what happened there, because all of a sudden they're looking stronger than ever with the Triple A belts. But maybe something that they will probably revisit, because I did sort of of suspect that Berda could potentially be a babyface with Andreida and form a new tag team, but they sort of ditch that for now. So yeah, we'll have to wait and

see how that goes. But again, those two win the match, and as mentioned, they'll probably get some more momentum going forward there. We then move on to Raw, where we have Gantha entering the ring to run a promo basically saying that Goldberg is a fifty eight year old man that wants to write out his career. Gantha said that it won't happen because Goldberg is not capable of taking

the world title from him. He said that he's capable of beating Goldberg in under three minutes, but his goal was to take him his time, blow him up, outclass him, and embarrass him in front of everyone that is near and dear to him. He also mentions that that Goldberg doesn't like bullies, but basically said that he is the biggest bully around, so then mentioned that he'll bully him and eat him like a piece of crap. Then he

basically said there's nothing old worker do about it. Gunthah then said if people would wonder if he still has it, but Gantha would expose him, and Ganthah then said after he wins, he'll be the one to ask who's next. And as he said that, about three or four times, Seth Rolins makes his way into the ring with his money in the bank briefcase that Paul Hayman was holding.

It was funny because as soon as Seth Rollins and Paul Hayman came into the ring, Guanta basically said that they seemed happy for going all the way to Saudi Arabia and achieving nothing, which yeah, was pretty hilarious. He

said that. Then actually Rolands said that they haven't seen Ganthera since he regained the world heavyweight title and explained that Knight of Champions wasn't to cash in the money in the bank, it was to stop seeing Punk from becoming world champion, and that's when they were seeing Punk chants Seth Rollins did congratulate guntherhah, and as he was about to probably say that he's going to cash in on him, eventually Seampunk comes in and just starts attacking

Seth Rowlins, and Seth Rollins then escapes the ring, and as he does escape the ring, La Knight is behind him and ends up attacking him as well. And while that's happening in the ring, Gunthera bumps into Sampunk and hooked his arm, and then Sampunk pushed him onto the ground and they kind of had a stare off there. But the main thing here was the two things that actually happened, obviously Seampunk and Seth Rolins, which I suspect that they're going to get at it at Summer Slam

once again. Those two can't seem to get away from each other. But l A Knight attacking Seth Rollins and setting himself up a match at Saturday Night's main event will be something extremely interesting. I think since La Knight has dropped the belt, or even while he's had the belt, he hasn't really had any important storylines, and I think

this one's massive for him. He's really getting himself involved in big picture here, taking on Seth Rowlins, which which is what I like to see, but I don't think he's going to win the match unfortunately at Saturday Night's main events, so this is probably just going to be a one off thing and it will lead to see him punkin and Seth Rollins, and I guess Seth Rowlans

continues to flex his muscles. I did say he was going to go for the WWE Championship, but you never know now with what Seth Rowlins is doing, obviously teasing Gunther, teasing John Cena, teasing Cody Rhodes. Essentially, it can go anywhere,

and that's what I like about this. But we're really not accounting for for brand splits at the moment because there's no brand split anymore with these storylines, like Seth Rowlins is getting involved with people on SmackDown and he's obviously trying to cash in as well, and he's on Monday Night Raw, so it doesn't really make too much sense. I do like the idea of All a Night potentially moving to RAW. I think that could be something that would really elevate. He's made for a show like Monday

Night Rule. I feel like it suits him more as well, and definitely an opportunity to fight for a title that's not I guess overlooked by or like over inflated by John Cedar, Cody Rhodes and now Ran Tord and Drew McIntyre too on that side, since what's been happening on SmackDown, So maybe going for World Heavyweight Championship, taking on Guntha, having a program with him, or if Seth Rollins Cash

is in for that title, then having a program. I think he's in better spot for that for that, then then on on SmackDown at the moment, because I think l A. Knight has the capabilities of being a world champion, it's just right now, the talent is so heavy that he hasn't had his opportunity, and I feel like eventually

he will. The fact that he's really good on the mic and fans really like him is something that I think we'll see in the future, But for now, I think he's just going to hype up this match, but most likely he'll he'll probably lose there. We then stay on Raw and we have Real Ripley coming into the ring as well. She essentially mentions that she's put away the judgment day for good and she basically wanted to say what's next for her since Evolution is around the corner.

That's when es Guy makes her entrance into the into the ring. She said that she can't have Evolution without Sky. She mentions that she is not on top. Ripley is not on top as Skuy's the world women's World champion. She already also mentioned that she spoke to Adam Pierce and told her that she could pick who she wants to defend the world title against that Evolution and s

Guy chooses obviously rear Ripley. Ripley says that she has a lot of respect for er Guy, but if that's what she wants, she will stop at nothing to get that title back, and whatever happens at Evolution, this is what er Guy wanted as well. So this sort of sets up the match at Evolution between the two. So es this Guy finally has a match and is finally

going to defend the title. She hasn't done that since WrestleMania and they haven't been able to find anything for her unfortunately, So that's why I guess real Ripley is going back into the fold. But they do get another chance at fighting each other. One on one and gives Real Ripley the opportunity to win the title here. I don't think she will, but we'll have to see what happens there. I'm really excited for Evolution as well. I really like the idea of a women's or women's pay

per view. I think it's going to have a lot of really significant matches, and I think this will be one of them. This might lead up to what will happen at SummerSlam, obviously, as guy will defend the title at SummerSlam, you'd like to think. So there's no real storyline for her or new storyline on New Food at the moment, so we may see this kind of amp up or I don't know, maybe a return or something.

But the fact that this match is that Evolution with some slam around the corner is going to tell where the direction of this title will be post that, So we'll look out for that Food for sure. We then get the second match of main event between Beefab and Roxanne Perez. Obviously, being in Saudi Arabia, they have to fully clothe themselves, and I already gave my sort of take on that we had Roxane Perez getting the victory here, So that's twice Beefab has lost to NXT NXT Elevated

Stars those are NXC this year, so two rookies. Will say, for lack of a better term, but this time roxan Perez rolling up and putting her legs on the second rope to get the victory here, so sort of cheating her way there, but great victory. Nevertheless, again Beefab is not really doing much as a single star, and maybe she might be injected into that tag team match given that she is a SmackDown superstar with Michin, but highly doubt it. We might just see her in the Women's

Battle Royal. But Roxanne gets the victory here, giving her I guess, momentum going into holding those team championships with Roccala Rodriguez, which is what we're gonna see. But then we also have Charlotte Flair and Alexiblitt involved in that too, and I want to sort of talk about that because I like the idea of it. I like the idea

that they don't necessarily have to be friends. But we're seeing two sort of single stars, massive single stars come together and form it a tag team, and that's something that I've been wanting to see in the men's division for a very long time, and I'm sort of glad they're doing it in the women's division with those two

superstars as well. Those two deserve to be up there. Obviously, people have their opinions and thoughts on Charlotte Flair, but she has a legend, she has done a lot of things for the company, so her being involved and if she's still an active superstar, needs to be involved in titles and needs to be involved in something significant. And I think that those two are going for the titles elevates the women's tag team division and also improves it

as well. And that's why sometimes I find that it's really important to have sort of single superstars formerst tag teams, not for a long time, not for something that's long term, but at least something that can kind of elevate the titles when the titles are sort of dying out. And that's what I noticed with tag teams divisions is that sometimes the titles and kind of the feuds do sort of fade out. So that's why it's good to have

single superstars kind of partner up together. And in this aspect, it's going to be Charlotte Flair and Alexiblitz, which is something really exciting, but again that doesn't really do much for what we're talking about in this match. But again, they're going to be fighting Roxane Verz is going to be fighting these two and she'll need that and this will obviously motivate her there and they will give her

a lift for that match to going forward. We then had the main event match between bron Breaker and Bronson Reid and taking on Penta and sami Zain. We had bron Breaker spearing Zayne to get the pin here, and I don't think that's going to damage Samuzain too much. Obviously she he took the pin, but given that he got attacked by carrying a cross before kind of makes his feel as though that the injury kind of cost cost him there. But after the mattress was the interesting part.

Penter was checking up on Samusain and then bron Breaker nailed Penter with the spear and Reid was about to go on top and hit a tsunami, but then jay Uso made it to the ring to save Samuseain. The fans went off when ja made his entrance to the ring and he hit Samuzain with or not Samuzain, he hit multiple super kicks and also Jasu threw a chair at Reid to knock his head out of the ring.

He celebrated with Zaane and Pent in the ring and bon Breaker Bronson, Reid and put himI were down on the floor, and that was pretty much a flex there. We might see a potential six man tag if these three are involved to take on Rolins, read and break up.

But maybe we might see this on Raw and not on any main events, or we could see jay Uso and Samusein in one of these PL's go up against them too, And now that ja Uso is out of the title title race, this probably makes more sense for him to get involved with Samuzain here and potentially those two could team up for kind of the time being

and go for the World Tag Team Champions there. But again, a lot of there's been a lot of talking, a lot of buzz with Samusein potentially getting his WrestleMania moment next year, and I also mentioned that he is pretty much a favorite going into next year's role Robbell, especially given that it's in Saudi Arabia, and I think the way that it's directed is that he will main event WrestleMania and have his main event moment given that he's been a long serviceable member for ww F for so long,

So we'll look at We'll look at that down in the line for sure. But again, these guys have to continue to fight off this massive faction on Raw and it gives everyone here something something to do, which is great. But again there's been another main event review. Next week I'll be reviewing Saturday night's main event along with the

main event review. Again, these pls come out of nowhere, So if there is anything on Raw that sort of leads up to the main event, I won't review it, But if it's not, i'll review it obviously because we want to keep it as consistent as we can to

the main event. But I hope you guys understand given that there is only two matches and there isn't really much storyline to talk about in these main event matches, only things where I can kind of predict what can happen based on those matches onto the main rosters, and then also talk about what they're sort of doing on the main roster as well. I would love for main event. I wish they could do it to sort of be a show where those that can't get on SmackDown and

Rawle have their feuds and have their issues. Then maybe we can implement one of the mid card titles to be challenged on that show here and there. But that's just me asking, maybe for too much. But again it's been your your boy Daniel and another main event review. Thank you very much for tuning in and I'll catch you guys next week.
