This week’s WWE Main Event was taped at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio before Monday’s episode of Raw.
The last episode of the show before next week’s draft was run-of-the-mill, but the Creed brothers always seem to find a way to dazzle.
Ivar defeated Apollo Crews (4:50)
They worked hard here and got going in the last few minutes, but it was a turnaround in fortunes for Ivar who had lost to weaker opponents the last two weeks.
Ivar continues to work well as a solo performer while his partner recovers from injury, but Crews feels entirely rudderless at the moment. Despite his ability, with the latest round of cuts to the roster, you do wonder whether some of these guys will stay on much longer.
Early on, Crews showed his incredible strength when he went to scoop slam Ivar and held him for a good few seconds while pretending that his back was giving out. Ivar crashed down on top of him and took control.
After a period where Ivar just slowly beat Crews down, they went on to hit some nice high spots. Crews rolled out of the way of a top rope splash and hit a top rope cross-body for a near fall.
Ivar looked like he had it won with a sit-out powerbomb, but somehow Crews kicked out. They finished by fighting on the top turnbuckle until Ivar hoisted Crews up and came off the second rope with a falling powerslam.
The Creed Brothers defeated Mark Coffey & Wolfgang (w/ Joe Coffey) (7:12)
This was a rematch from the bout these two teams had a few weeks back, but unfortunately, this wasn’t quite as strong as that outing. That said, you can’t help but enjoy Julius Creed, who is just incredibly talented and wildly entertaining.
It’s been nearly two months since we were treated to the Creeds on Main Event and the last time that any of these men appeared here was back on the March 4 edition of the show when they faced off against each other.
They hit all their marks as they did in the previous match, with an early showing of the Creeds’ ability to do everything in stereo: we were treated to stereo hip tosses, kip-ups, and moonsaults before the break. It went sour, though, when Wolfgang blind tagged in and sent Brutus to the outside as we headed to commercial.
After the ads, Gallus had the advantage, and the match was now built around getting Julius the hot tag. He came in to a roar of appreciation and suplexed Coffey and Wolfgang before hitting Northern Lights suplexes to boot. He ended with a standing shooting star press but the pin was broken up by Coffey.
The end was poor because Gallus were obviously slowing everything down and waiting for things to happen and the smoothness was taken out of what had been a really strong match thus far.
Wolfgang was clotheslined over the top and Brutus was sent out with him, but Julius nailed Joe off the apron when he tried to interfere, and then he and Brutus set up and executed the Brutus Bomb for the win.
