00:00Coming up, American Maid seeks their third straight win here on Main Event
00:04as Brutus and Julius Creed take on New Cats Republic's Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate in tag team action.
00:13That match is next on Main Event.
00:20New Cats Republic!
00:24New Cats Republic!
00:30The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:44Introducing first with a combined weight of 380 pounds, the Bruiserweight Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate.
00:52New Cats Republic!
00:55How good is it to see this duo back together?
00:58You know, it's one of those tragedies that happens in our business sometimes.
01:02You see a new tag team come together, you see so much potential, and then the injury bug strike.
01:07Tyler Bate on the show for about nine months.
01:10So, finally, New Cats Republic back together and kind of back on the same page because they're still complete opposites.
01:17Well, yeah, we'll touch on that as this matchup begins and continues to see if New Cats Republic can get back onto their winning ways here in the WWE.
01:29Backlash is presented by Morgan & Morgan, America's largest injury law firm injured.
01:42Go to ForThePeople.com.
01:45And their opponents, accompanied by Ivy Nile with a combined weight of 495 pounds,
02:06Brutus, and Julius Creed, American Mane!
02:12Not only this duo, but how about this trio?
02:15How will they continue to grow, Byron?
02:18Under the tutelage of Chad Gable.
02:20How could you not grow under the tutelage of Chad Gable?
02:23His amateur wrestling background, his tag team expertise, understanding what it takes to be a champion,
02:29and then you have the on-field guidance, if you will, of Ivy Nile, who serves as the glue between the Creed brothers.
02:37I'm happy to actually see you in a happy mood.
02:40Why wouldn't I be happy?
02:41Well, I don't want to let too much out, but you seem very angry in the hotel in Las Vegas
02:47because you couldn't get a refrigerator for your 45 to 50 hard-boiled eggs.
02:50So you're looking down on me because a man needs his protein?
02:52I'm just looking down on me because I've never seen you that angry,
02:54and I'm happy that you're back to a smiling manor here, sitting ringside with me
02:59with great tag team action here on Main Event.
03:01A natural disposition.
03:03We're going to start off with Julius Creed, Pete Dunn,
03:06and I would think that since his partner is back, as we mentioned, with all the injuries,
03:11Pete would be a little bit happier.
03:13He sounds like shrugged Tyler off moments ago,
03:15and you'd think he'd have a smile on his face too, much like yourself.
03:18What is this obsession with people smiling?
03:20I want people to be happy, Byron. That's the type of guy I am.
03:22Are you upset that John Cena doesn't smile either,
03:24or are you one of those guys?
03:25I mean, I would like to see John Cena smile again.
03:27I mean, that's the John Cena that I want to remember.
03:30I don't want to remember this John Cena.
03:31I want to remember the John Cena that was about hustle, loyalty, and respect.
03:36Well, unfortunately, Vic, sometimes you have to change with the time.
03:39Going into the cover, hook of the leg, and Bate able to power out.
03:42So you're seeing an interesting, you know, back and forth there between these two
03:47because Tyler Bate, we know, is a mat technician.
03:49We also know the amateur background of Julius Creed coming ACC standout
03:53at the University of Duke.
03:54Who do you think would have the advantage on the mat here inside the Squirt, sir?
03:58Well, on paper, you would...
04:00Oh, wow.
04:00Look at Tyler Bate.
04:02I'm talking about Joaquin Ryan, innovative style.
04:04He's not waving at you, Vic.
04:05Tag.
04:07As you were saying.
04:08But again, you would think because of the enriched wrestling experience of Tyler Bate
04:13and Pete Dunne, they would have the edge, but watch this.
04:15Oh!
04:16But then you factor in the power advantage of American Made, of Brutus and Julius Creed
04:21and some of the antics we see from them in the ring.
04:23And I'm going to tilt the advantage in the corner of American Made.
04:27That's fair enough.
04:28But look at the joint manipulation.
04:30Being able to manipulate body parts, that certainly is going to give the points to...
04:36Wow!
04:37These two superstars, Dunne, Bate, New Catch Republic.
04:42Look at Tyler Bate, so happy to be back.
04:44Happy to be back in front of the WWE Universe, as you mentioned, coming back from a severe injury.
04:49Well, this has been Tyler Bate's life.
04:51He started wrestling at the age of 15 years old.
04:53I'm not sure if he can pull this off.
04:54A big, strong boy.
04:56But he's giving it his best effort.
04:58Oh, wait a minute.
05:00Talk about effort.
05:01What the...
05:01And this is what I was talking about earlier.
05:03No way.
05:05A disturbing level of strength from American Made.
05:08But my point earlier, though, Tyler Bate only knows competing in that ring.
05:12So to have that taken away from him for almost a year, it was miserable.
05:16It was depressing.
05:17Well, you're talking about the power.
05:18Look at the resiliency right now by Tyler Bate taking out both men to the outside.
05:25And this is textbook Tyler.
05:28And, oh, flying through the air.
05:30They missed one.
05:31Oh, my gosh.
05:32There's that power again.
05:34Byron.
05:34Oh, no.
05:36Who will gain the momentum in the tag team division as Main Event continues?
05:41Did you see that?
05:42I did.
05:44Back on Main Event, it has been all Brutus and Julius Creed.
05:48And when you talk about power, Brutus is power personified.
05:52Brutus is such a unique individual, unique athleticism, unique personality.
05:56But there is a different zone that he enters inside that ring.
06:00Just getting joy out of punishing Tyler Bate.
06:05And, you know, everyone in the tag team division on Raw, they're looking up to new tag team champions.
06:10I want to get your thoughts on the world tag team title pick.
06:12Now that the New Day is back on top after WrestleMania.
06:16Oh, listen.
06:17Oh, and there's the proverbial glue of American-made Ivy Nile.
06:22You think that's great what Ivy Nile's doing?
06:24Did I say it was great?
06:25I said she was glued.
06:25Okay, there's a difference.
06:26I described what she is to American-made.
06:29Trying to get me in trouble with Ivy Nile.
06:31But I was trying to say, yes, congratulations to the New Day.
06:34Do I support their current antics?
06:35No, but you've got to give credit where it's due.
06:3812-time world tag team champions, record-setting tag team champions.
06:41And for the entire division now, this gives all the tag teams a brand new target to focus on.
06:47On the topic of WrestleMania, congratulations also to El Grande Americano.
06:51On not only his WrestleMania debut, but also his WrestleMania victory.
06:55It was inspiring, right?
06:57I thought it was, yeah, to see someone who's gone through all the trials and tribulations.
07:00Some people think it's Chad Gable.
07:01Chad Gable would not.
07:02Still an impressive victory.
07:03To think that your opponent's going to be Rey Mysterio, you have to adjust, face Rey
07:07Phoenix, and then still deliver on the grandest stage of WrestleMania?
07:12Right there, you and I can finally agree on something.
07:14A big knee lift from Bate.
07:16Bate right now trying to get back into this match.
07:18And there was a jumping European uppercut.
07:21And for Tyler, Bate is a pivotal point, Byron.
07:23He's got to make a tag.
07:25To Pete Dunne.
07:26Pete Dunne knows it.
07:27Tyler Bate is trying to get his bearings right now.
07:29He's closer than he realizes.
07:30But he's got to make that tag.
07:32To Pete Dunne.
07:34And there it is.
07:35Dunne Bate, of course, former NXT Tag Team Champions.
07:38It's our American made.
07:40And that Tag Team title picture, as you mentioned, you're going to need some new challengers.
07:44Could one of those challengers emerge from this matchup here on Main Event?
07:48The road starts here.
07:49The win streak start here for either one of these teams to get a step closer to tag team title glory.
07:57Well, Dunne.
07:58Able to land on his feet.
07:59Reset himself.
08:00Charging in, though, is Julius.
08:02Julius just got caught.
08:03And one more time.
08:04Another big strike from the Bruiserweight.
08:07Dunne is a striking machine right now.
08:09Snap, crackle, and pop the joints.
08:12But also there is Julius again with that pure power.
08:16Bam!
08:17My goodness!
08:18Big clothesline makes the tag.
08:20In comes Brutus.
08:23And it has been all American made in this tag team matchup.
08:27Oh, Dunne.
08:28Don't speak too soon there, Vic.
08:29In a little bit of life.
08:30Now maybe a little bit of a submission.
08:31There was a tag.
08:32Nice job by Tyler Bate as well.
08:34Bate is legal.
08:35And I don't think the Creed's realize it.
08:37They certainly do now.
08:38That's Brutus stumbling a little bit.
08:40And remember, it is Brutus.
08:41That's illegal.
08:42There's the bop and bang.
08:44Oh.
08:45Oh, no.
08:46Does he have enough to hoist up?
08:49They try to get him up earlier this time.
08:52Julius doing his best to run interference.
08:55That's Pete Dunne.
08:56Uh-oh.
08:56Pete Dunne's going to take care of that problem.
08:58There it is.
09:00Oh!
09:01Snapping back the digits.
09:02Get some ice on that, Julius.
09:05Moodsault to the outside.
09:06But it's the two legal men in the ring.
09:08Oh, my favorite part.
09:09Round and round we go.
09:11Where does it end?
09:12Only Tyler Bate knows.
09:15Dead center in the middle of the ring.
09:17Nothing Ivy Nile can do.
09:19He's getting dizzy just looking at it, Byron.
09:21As are we.
09:23And still going around and around.
09:25Keep it going.
09:26Keep it going, Tyler.
09:27Tyler.
09:30Finally coming to an end.
09:32Brutus on Dream Street.
09:34Tag.
09:35Dunne's legal.
09:36Part decision to make the tag for Tyler.
09:37Look at this combination.
09:39Bam!
09:40Clothesline.
09:41German.
09:42Cover.
09:42One, two, three.
09:44Nice.
09:45Statement victory.
09:49Here are your winners.
09:52New Cats Republic.
09:54And it's a statement made because these two are back together here in the WWE.
10:01Only their second match back together as a tag team.
10:05Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne did exactly what they needed to do.
10:09Come out here, have an impressive performance against American Made that would end in the W.
10:14Back together and back on their winning ways.
10:18New Cats Republic.
