411’s WWE Main Event Report 09.25.13
Michael Benjamin here with your favorite Main Event report on the internet! Let’s do it.
SHOW… ON!
(This isn’t going to be very detailed. My cable is going in and out over here. Fucking AT&T… I’m doing what I can. Apologies and whatnot in advance.)
WWE Championship Roll Call:
WWE Champion: VACANT
World Champion: Alberto Del Rio
IC Champion: Curtis Axel
US Champion: Dean Ambrose
Unified Diva’s Champion: AJ Lee
WWE World Tag Team Champions: Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns
– Alex Riley and Josh Mathews are on commentary.
Fandango and Jey exchange punches as we return from break. Fandango rolls to the outside for more stalling before tagging in Big E. He turns Jey inside fucking out with an impressive clothesline. He follows up with a running body splash. Fandango gets tagged in and locks in a side headlock. Big E and Fandango isolate the faces for a hot minute. Big E locks in the abdominal stretch! In comes Fandango with a nice snap suplex for two. He follows that up with some gritty kicks and punches. He goes upstairs for the leg drop but gets pushed off. Big E helps him up and rolls him in. He tags himself in and here comes Jey too! Jey leapfrogs a running Big E and takes care of business with a shoulder block and running ass to the face. Big E gets up and goes for the Big Ending. He eats a superkick and frog splash before getting pinned.
Solid wrestling here. They worked the tag formula and had enough time to get the crowd biting for the hot tag and closing sequence.
OFFICIAL RESULT The Usos @ 9:46 via pinfall
RATING: **1/2
-We get recap videos of Triple H ripping Miz apart in his interview with Cole and then Miz getting knocked out by Big Show.
– Big Show is in action next.
An elongated squash here. The only reason the match went over two minutes is because Sandow stalled for over half the match. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s a good heat grabber. There wasn’t very much going on for nearly four minutes though.
OFFICIAL RESULT: Big Show @ 3:41 aired via pinfall
RATING: 1/2*
– Big Show rips the MITB briefcase off of the chain on the ring post and lays it on an unconscious Sandow after the match.
– They air a Raw Rebound of the Punk/Heyman/Axel/Ryback segment on Raw. Good stuff there.
We’re back with Axel in control. Headlock is applied. Gabriel escapes but Axel maintains control. He drops some elbows and stomps away at Gabriel. Gabriel tries getting back into things with kicks to the hamstring. Gabriel is making a comeback! He hits a springboard dropkick for two. My cable begins going in and out worse and I can see them going home with a few kick outs and big moves. Curtis Axel picks up the win at around the eight minute mark.
N/A.
OFFICIAL RESULT: Curtis Axel @ 9:07 via pinfall
RATING: N/A
OVERALL: The only part of the show my cable problems were effecting was the main event. I can say that it definitely didn’t appear to be setting the world on fire. The rest was middling at best. Not a solid episode of Main Event this week. It’s almost like they go every other week quality-wise at this point.
