Roman Reigns Promo
The hometown boy Roman Reigns opened this episode of Main Event by calling out Kevin Owens. Owens has gotten the jump on Reigns several times over the past few weeks, and the Big Dog was tired of it. Owens answered the challenge, but remained outside the ring. He told Roman point-blank that he will never be on KO's level, and doesn't deserve a spot on the "Kevin Owens Show". Reigns laid down a challenge for a match next week on Raw, but Owens simply laughed and walked away.
Brian Kendrick vs Cedric Alexander vs Noam Dar vs Drew Gulak
All four of these cruiserweights were searching for a big win, but only one man could earn it. The Scottish Supernova Noam Dar took control of the match off the start, using his vicious offense to keep everyone at bay. He even locked in the kneebar on Brian Kendrick, but Drew Gulak broke the hold. Gulak and Cedric Alexander then went toe-to-toe, with Alexander emerging with the upper hand. He was caught with a big European uppercut from Dar, and the young Scotsman got a big win.
Winner: Noam Dar
Neville and Will Ospreay vs TJ Perkins and Kota Ibushi
This union between Neville and Will Ospreay would face its first big test, in the Cruiserweight Champion and the Golden Star. Although Perkins and Ibushi had faced each other in the past, they worked well as teammates. Neville and Ospreay were in serious jeopardy of losing the match, and were forced to come up with a new plan. They worked over Ibushi, keeping Perkins from tagging in, to great success. Kota simply had nothing left, eventually succumbing to a 630 senton from the Aerial Assassin.
Winners: Neville and Will Ospreay
Apollo Crews vs John Cena
It was now time for our main event, an exhibition of incredible power and unbelievable strength. This was not an all-out brawl, but rather a measured technical bout, as both men felt the other out. Early on, it was the self-proclaimed "Elite Athlete" Apollo Crews who took control, as he showcased his incredible arsenal of moves. John Cena fired back with aggression, taking Crews down to the mat for big strikes, including a Five-Knuckle Shuffle. Cena looked for an Attitude Adjustment, but Crews countered with a big elbow and struck with a Spin-Out Powerbomb. Cena got the shoulder up just in time, surprising Apollo. Back on their feet, the two men engaged in a war of fists, before Cena connected with a big Attitude Adjustment to pick up the win.
Winner: John Cena
