WWE Main Event Recap: A Tale of Two Brothers and a Fire-Breathing Dragon
Emotional Statement: In the world of professional wrestling, emotions run high, and sometimes a single expression can tell a thousand stories. This week's WWE Main Event is a perfect example of that, as we witness the contrasting journeys of two brothers, Julius and Brutus Creed, and the fiery determination of Dragon Lee.
No Joy in Creedville:
The main event was a tag team match between the LWO's Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde, and The Creed Brothers, American Made. While Brutus brought the intensity, climbing into the ring like a fighter entering the Octagon, Julius seemed distant, his somber expression hinting at a deeper struggle. This was not just a loss; it was a continuation of a nine-month skid, with the Creeds' last victory dating back to September. The commentary team failed to notice Julius' unease, but the audience couldn't help but feel the weight of his expression.
Fire-Breathing Dragon:
The opening match was a high-energy affair, with Grayson Waller and Dragon Lee putting on a show. Lee's chops and Waller's clothesline turned the tide, but it was the fan's chant of 'Grayson sucks' that added a layer of controversy. Waller's back rake move, though awkward, could be seen as a troll move against high flyers. The finish was a whirlwind of counters, with Lee turning a clothesline into a powerbomb and then firing back with a double stomp, followed by Operation Dragon for the pin.
Berto Cruises Past Apollo:
Apollo Crews showed a more intense side, carrying a fiery seriousness to the ring. Berto, with his cousin Angel Garza, arrived with contempt for the crowd. The match played like an old-school babyface vs. heel bout, with Berto working throwback staples like the chinlock and abdominal stretch. Berto stood out, moving and carrying himself like someone who could break out. At 30, he has time to grow, and if he sharpens his promos or gets a strong mouthpiece, he could be something special.
Final Bell:
While the matches were entertaining, the real story here is the Creeds. Their most recent TV match was a loss during a multi-team match on Raw, their first appearance on WWE's flagship show since July, another loss in a multi-team match. It's a tough situation for the Creeds, particularly Julius, whose heaviness was undeniable. Whatever the future holds for the team, Brutus remains a quirky highlight, fully in character the whole way.
Controversy & Comment Hooks:
But here's where it gets controversial... The commentary team's failure to acknowledge Julius' unease could be seen as a missed opportunity to delve deeper into the Creeds' struggles. And this is the part most people miss... The fan's chant of 'Grayson sucks' adds a layer of complexity to the match, evoking memories of the infamous SoCal 'Super Dragon' heckler. So, what do you think? Do you agree or disagree with the commentary team's approach? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
