00:00As we still absorb the fallout of WrestleMania weekend and
00:05with Backlash now on the horizon, the action rolls right through Kansas City.
00:10Welcome to Main Event.
00:12The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:20Introducing first, from Thomas and Nizzo,
00:23magical point in at 160-plus pounds, Dragon League!
00:34We're getting the action started here tonight with the high energy of the LWO.
00:38Walking through the flames right into the ring with the WWE Speed Champion.
00:42Looks for his quickness to set the pace here tonight in Dragon League.
00:49And as Dragon looks out to the WWE Universe, we want to welcome him in here.
00:53Blake Howard alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph.
00:56Great to be back here on Main Event.
00:57You have a lot of nerve.
00:59For what?
01:00Where were you last week?
01:02We're looking around for Blake Howard.
01:04He's nowhere to be found.
01:05I have to do the show with Byron Saxon.
01:07Where were you?
01:08Wait, are you telling me you were concerned?
01:10Byron was.
01:13I wasn't concerned.
01:15Dragon League kicking us off here on Main Event.
01:18I'd have just caught Vic Joseph in a moment there.
01:21I'm not going to say I wasn't, but I'm not going to say I was.
01:24Well, certainly what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
01:26Glad to have you back.
01:27Well, yeah.
01:29Except Byron and his 40 dozen eggs.
01:31We'll get into that later.
01:32And dancing with gorillas as well.
01:33We'll certainly talk about that later on.
01:34I'm glad you're back.
01:35I'm glad you're back.
01:36I said it publicly.
01:37I'm glad you're back.
01:38I'll have to put a time code on that one.
01:40When I quitating.
01:41You're late now
01:42You're late now
01:43You're late now
02:14As we certainly feel the energy here, a cerebral superstar stalking to the ring.
02:29Did the mood just change a little bit?
02:32Did you feel it?
02:33I think it changed a lot a bit.
02:35As there's Scarlett leading the way right here alongside Karrion Kross and Vic over the last few weeks.
02:41Kross has certainly made some noise, but primarily outside the ring.
02:44Fallen free, fallen free, fallen free.
02:55Well, I think if he has his way, he is going to make his presence felt here tonight.
03:08Certainly a whole different mood here with Karrion Kross, and you see that intensity in his eyes.
03:15Of course, Scarlett by his side, Vic.
03:17Could be a whole new era here for Karrion Kross in the WWE as he returns to main event and looks to continue that winning streak.
03:25What do you think someone like Dragon Lee is thinking right now?
03:30I mean, I have said that time and time again, dating back to when Karrion Kross was the NXT champion.
03:35Just the intimidation factor with the music, with Scarlett walking down slow, methodical.
03:42Then you enter the ring and you look at this beast of a human.
03:45It's who, if you follow him on Instagram, can legitimately, literally snap baseball bats.
03:50Oh, he's had some, certainly some incredible displays right there.
03:54Jiu-Jitsu specialist in his free time is Karrion Kross.
03:58Oh!
04:00No Dragon Lee were to meet him right here.
04:02Of course, the last time we saw Dragon Lee, Vic, in singles competition on that road to WrestleMania
04:05against an American hero, El Grande Americana.
04:09Yeah, and you know, you talk about, he's not just, you know, a hero.
04:13He's also someone who had a big win at WrestleMania.
04:16He went on the biggest stage we have to offer, and that is the stage both these superstars
04:20would like to get to, but oh my word.
04:25That was certainly a huge win indeed as Karrion Kross, that smug look on his face.
04:29And Vic, we've talked about some shifts recently.
04:31What has most seemed to have snapped inside of Karrion Kross?
04:34Well, you heard him with Sam and Megan, you know, right?
04:36I mean, it went viral.
04:37There was a lot of truth that was spilt per se, and it's obvious that that caught somebody's ear.
04:44It caught a few ears.
04:45It riled up the locker room.
04:47The WB Universe heard it, but this is the thing about Kross.
04:51He'll say it.
04:52He'll also back it up, and that is what we're seeing right now.
04:56As Kross always seemingly a couple of steps ahead of the competition,
04:59not only inside the ring, but mentally as well.
05:02And if you go back to WrestleMania, certainly getting inside the head of AJ Styles
05:06as he cost him that matchup against Logan Paul.
05:08Yeah, look, this is somebody who is vindictive.
05:12This is somebody who is malicious.
05:14He knows what he's doing.
05:16He is playing chess with those that are playing checkers, as we're seeing right now.
05:20Oh, nice counter there by Dragon Lee, trying to utilize that speed and quickness into the DDT.
05:26Only gets one.
05:27And of course, Dragon Lee right now feeling a lot of excitement.
05:30The big news of AAA now under the WWE umbrella.
05:33Huge, huge.
05:33Of course, Dragon Lee, former AAA World Tag Team Champion,
05:36the future of Lucha Libre, has to have some excited thoughts about that.
05:40Absolutely huge announcement, groundbreaking, truly shook the wrestling world to the core.
05:46But back to what we're talking about right here and right now.
05:50This is that nasty, gnarly side of Karrion Kross.
05:53As we still look to find that primary motive right here inside Karrion Kross.
05:57And of course, we talked about AJ Styles, someone he's seemingly been at odds with as of late.
06:01You go back to Styles' WrestleMania opponent, Logan Paul, who are...
06:04Oh, Scarlett right now getting involved here.
06:06And Vic again, she's a big difference maker.
06:08Yeah, and you saw Kross with the official saying he was sorry to the official.
06:12Again, he knows what he's doing.
06:13He is not only one, he's two, three, four, five steps ahead of his opponent all the time.
06:19All part of that game plan.
06:20And again, we're talking about AJ Styles' WrestleMania opponent in Logan Paul.
06:24And he certainly had a lot to say this past Monday on Raw.
06:26And we're going to see that coming up a bit here on Main Event.
06:28Logan Paul is another one, by the way, that somehow, someway stays ahead of the competition.
06:34He sees things in 4D.
06:35He knows where he's going, and what has he done?
06:38We're going to find out on Raw, because he has found himself a golden opportunity.
06:42Certainly putting himself in primary position to be the leader of the Monday Night Raw brand.
06:46As Dragon Lee, someone a former NXT North American champion, would love to get back in that gold position here, Vic.
06:52And LWO really needs a boost.
06:54And if Dragon Lee is the future of Lucha Libre, there's no better way.
06:58Oh!
06:58And there's no better time to prove that than right here in the present.
07:02Uno dos tres.
07:04And here comes Dragon Lee.
07:06Has his sights set on Karrion Kross in the corner.
07:09From one side to the other.
07:12Got to keep the momentum going, though, right now.
07:14Kross is wounded.
07:15Kross is down.
07:17He's vulnerable.
07:17And Dragon may be feeling some momentum from former LWO mate Zelina Vega.
07:23Big U.S. title win.
07:25Last Friday on SmackDown is Kross.
07:28Oh, my word.
07:29Just launching Dragon Lee overhead.
07:31And Vic, that will certainly swing the tie.
07:34You can say that again.
07:35And look, again, we talk about being vindictive.
07:38We talk about being malicious.
07:39That is everything and more.
07:41Oh, Lee coming out the back door.
07:43Nice counter.
07:44Roll up.
07:44And Dragon starts on Korn.
07:46Can you walk it through the flames?
07:49Here is your winner.
07:51Dragon.
07:53Please.
07:54I'm going to, in my own opinion, no one else's.
07:57I am sitting here absolutely shocked.
08:01The very definition of an upset here on Main Event.
08:04Karrion Kross has Dragon Lee in prime position.
08:07That speed and quickness slipped out the back door.
08:09Stacks across.
08:10And the future of Lucha Libre with a huge victory here on Main Event.
08:14And as Dragon celebrates with the WWE Universe, Karrion Kross has to go back to the drawing board.
08:20But it's all smiles right here for the LWA.
