00:00Coming up, Alpha Academy is looking for revenge after suffering defeat the last time these squads faced off on Main Event.
00:06Find out if Akira Tozawa and Otis can even the score, or if Brutus and Julius Creed will make it two in a row over their rivals next.
00:17Time for another rivalry renewed right here on Main Event.
00:30The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one call.
00:36Introducing present Julius and Brutus Creed, American Made!
00:46Well, the Creed brothers back for the second consecutive week here on Main Event as they once again look to carry out the American Made mission led by Chad Gamer.
00:55Utah! Utah!
01:00Utah!
01:01You hear this from the WWE Universe?
01:03Utah!
01:03Certainly some strong opinions here of the Creed brothers and American Made.
01:07Utah! Utah! Utah!
01:11As Backlash is presented by Morgan & Morgan, America's largest injury law firm injured, go to ForThePeople.com.
01:19Utah!
01:20Some strong opinions here toward the Creed's.
01:22Utah!
01:30Nice to see you start to shake those hips.
01:32Stop.
01:37And your opponents, accompanied by Maxine Dupree!
01:44Akira Tozawa!
01:45And Otis!
01:46And Otis!
01:47Alpha!
01:48And Academy!
01:51Well, overall, it's certainly time to bust out the dance moves for the Alpha Babes.
01:55The workhorses here of Main Event in their sixth tag team outing of the year already, as the Beat looking prime for a winning streak here tonight.
02:03Well, yeah.
02:03Look, this is a big match.
02:05Well, you know, we've had a lot of fun tonight.
02:07We joked about Vegas.
02:08We, you know, we had the opening matchup.
02:10We've seen what's gone down on Raw.
02:11But this matchup right here and right now, I really want you to think about this.
02:15Think about WrestleMania.
02:17Think about the world tag team titles.
02:20New tag team champions, right?
02:21Indeed.
02:22Think about that tag team title picture now on Monday Night Raw under Adam Pearce.
02:25It is very, very cloudy.
02:28This is an opportunity for both these teams to take that step forward and put themselves in championship contention.
02:35And we've certainly seen American Made following that mission of Chad Gable in recent months.
02:39The Alpha Academy stringing together a victory recently over A-Town Down Under.
02:44And, of course, last week, Vic, we saw Alpha Academy on Monday Night Raw as Kansas City loves them some Otis.
02:50Yeah, you know, I hear them cheer for, you know, the Alpha Babes.
02:55I hear what they did when the Creed brothers come out.
02:57You know, they're very vocal.
02:59They love a lot of different things here in Kansas City.
03:02They love NFL officiating, which always seems to go their way.
03:04I see what you did there.
03:05I'll just move over right now.
03:08As Julius Creed trying to get in the face of Otis right now.
03:10But, again, we talked about going back to last week on Monday Night Raw.
03:13An opportunity at Gold looked to be on the horizon until the major return of Rusek to WWE.
03:18And that's certainly what we talked about the AAA announcement shaking the core of the industry.
03:24Indeed.
03:24Rusev's return shook the core of the locker room.
03:27And now look at the mall taking place.
03:29We see a Brutus smash right here as Brutus tagged in and looks to maintain control right here for American Made.
03:36But we did see a Rusev smash a week ago.
03:39And now setting up this coming Monday on Raw a big-time matchup, Otis and Rusev.
03:43You've got to think what Otis is thinking, too, right now.
03:45Is he solely focused on the task at hand here against the Creed's?
03:49Is he looking forward and looking ahead to Rusev?
03:52Because right now, I have to say, he's right here.
03:55He's in the moment.
03:56And he just plowed over two grown men.
04:00Now here comes the stamina monster, Vic.
04:02We've seen this many times.
04:04As it's time for Tozawa to take a little spin.
04:08Oh, time to catch the bearings.
04:12Now we know what's coming next.
04:15Open up the cockpit door.
04:16Here's Tozawa flying through.
04:18Wait a minute.
04:18Oh, the Creeds.
04:22Oh!
04:23And the power of Julius and Brutus right now in control.
04:27Julius knocks off Otis.
04:29Can the Alpha Academy get back into this one and start a winning streak right here on Main Event?
04:39Back here on Main Event, you see the Brutus smash coming down from American Made Alpha Academy.
04:44This rivalry renewed tonight in Kansas City.
04:47And Vic, if you go back over the last couple of weeks, the Creed brothers, they've lost a couple of matchups.
04:52And you have to wonder, is American Made maybe a bit distracting?
04:54I don't think so.
04:55I think you're seeing right now they're trying to put it all together.
04:57And you're right.
04:58There's a long history between these two teams.
05:01But before the break, you saw Otis get dropped with that jumping knee from Julius.
05:05Otis has not yet gotten back to his feet.
05:07And that is not very good for his tag team partner Tozawa.
05:11Because he is getting systematically and physically dissected by the brothers' Creed.
05:16And look at this combination!
05:18Big moonsault right there by Julius Creed in the cover.
05:21But back to the Creed brothers.
05:22I expect big things from this duo.
05:24I had the opportunity, the honor, the privilege to sit ringside for their NXT career.
05:28They won the NXT tag team titles.
05:30They're able to take over the tag team division there.
05:32Now, they have all the tools.
05:33But they're still learning from Chad Gable.
05:37And that is going to be the key for their success.
05:39Is continue to be under that learning tree of the Olympian.
05:43And there's the tag made to Brutus Creed right now.
05:45We always talk about Chad Gable keeping the whole crew ready to succeed.
05:48Ivy Niles certainly looked the sharpest maybe we've ever seen her.
05:51This past Monday on Raw against the NXT Women's Champion, Stephanie Viqueiro.
05:55And Ivy Niles is another one who's on the cusp of great things.
05:57You know, she's taken champions to the limit.
05:59She's showcased her growth inside the last 12 months.
06:02The same can be said for this duo here, the brothers' Creed.
06:05They've continued to grow.
06:06That is what you're looking for as a coach is continued growth.
06:10And how about that offense?
06:11What a tandem offense right there by the Creed brothers.
06:14Julius into the cover only gets two.
06:17And, of course, we talked about the stars being out here for the WWE.
06:22I don't mean to cut you off.
06:23I'm a little worried for Otis right now.
06:25He has been down after that knee,
06:26which almost looked like it hit him right in the temple.
06:29And, indeed, Vique, the powerful porterhouse.
06:31We've seen him move mountains, essentially, here on Main Event.
06:34He went toe-to-toe with Boother recently on Monday Night Raw.
06:37But right now, it's all Tozawa.
06:39Tozawa may be on his own here.
06:40And I don't necessarily know if Tozawa realizes that in this moment.
06:44That is where Maxine, there on the outside,
06:46I think she's trying to tell Tozawa that and help him out.
06:49Tozawa's got a lot to worry about, though.
06:50Can that motivation of Maxine be enough?
06:52And that's certainly going to kickstart Tozawa.
06:56Nice countering to the DDT.
06:57It's Tozawa looking out.
07:00He wants to make that turn.
07:01Oh, there he is.
07:02And there's the powerful porterhouse, Vique.
07:04He's back in the corner.
07:06And you know he is going to be ready.
07:08What do you call him?
07:09The powerful porterhouse.
07:10He is looking to pounce.
07:13Indeed, he is.
07:14Ready to unleash here.
07:16On Brutus Creed.
07:19As Otis.
07:20Oh!
07:21That spinning back fist.
07:22He's won matches here on Main Event before.
07:24And look at the high elevation.
07:25Down goes Julius.
07:27How about one for Brutus?
07:28Oh, yeah!
07:32Otis starting to move right now.
07:33That again.
07:35And the big man.
07:36That wasn't pretty.
07:37It was effective.
07:37But he's just finding a way to dispatch the Creed Brothers here.
07:41It was two on one a minute ago.
07:43And now it's one on two.
07:44Led by Otis.
07:45Otis isn't just one man.
07:46He's the size of four.
07:50Uh-oh.
07:50Uh-oh.
07:51Here we go.
07:53Otis Mania running wild at KC.
07:55Like Shakira, his hips don't lie.
07:58Oh, look at those movements.
08:01The smooth moves of Otis.
08:04Tozawa.
08:05And here comes the exclamation point.
08:08Tope Suicida lays out Julius Greed.
08:10And now Tozawa.
08:11There's the tag, Vic.
08:12Can the winning streak be on the horizon?
08:16Tozawa.
08:17Into position.
08:19Boom.
08:20Nails that senton.
08:22Into the cover.
08:25And it's a winning streak for the Alpha Academy.
08:28Here are your winners, Alpha Academy.
08:37Vic, you talked about the cloudy waters in the World Tag Team Championship Division.
08:42What a way to get a leg up here by the Alpha Academy.
08:44That is a big victory for this duo.
08:47And they did it as a team.
08:49We talk about growth.
08:50We've seen the Alpha Babes continue to grow.
08:53Continue to have three minds moving as one.
08:56And that senton from the top.
08:58You can feel the air.
09:00Driven on the lungs of Brutus.
09:02That is a big, big momentum-building win for the Alpha Babes.
09:08Right now, let's head back to Monday Night Raw,
09:10where the paradigm-shifting alliance between Seth Freakin' Rollins,
09:13Ron Breaker, and Paul Heyman took center stage once again.
09:17We'll be right back to Monday Night Raw.
