00:00And after falling short the last time these squads faced off on main event, Alpha Academy looks to even the score when they take on A-Town Down Under in a tag team rematch. Next!
00:14Oh, they're back for some more of it!
00:18And I'm sure they're hoping for a different result.
00:21The following is a tag team match scheduled for one call, introducing first the team of Otis and Akira Tozawa, Alpha and Jeremy!
00:39We'll make it five straight appearances for the War Forces of Main Event. The last time we saw them in tag team action, Vic absolutely pushed the champs, the War Raiders to the limit.
00:47They certainly did, and you know, things are, well, this is nice.
00:51Otis coming over along with Tozawa to Maxine. Maxine was such a hard-fought battle that we saw against Shayna Baszler again.
00:59That's why we mentioned Alpha Academy may be looking for a different result here and now.
01:05But it's been an interesting week for the Alpha Babes.
01:08We had a little run-in with Chad Gable, Ivy Niles, and the Creed's Monday.
01:12WrestleMania is presented by Snickers. Snickers satisfies, and by WWE 2K25, available now, bringing you the unique opportunity to rewrite Bloodline family history in 2K Showcase, the Bloodline's Dynasty, plus intergender battles and more game-changing updates.
01:34You created yourself, didn't you?
01:36I was going to ask, are you still the War of Heavyweight champ?
01:37No, no, no. You created yourself. Me? Oh, 100%.
01:40Try to team with Corey Graves, but not even in the video game would he agree to be my tag team partner.
01:49And the opponent, the team of Austin Derry and Grayson Waller, eight-town, down, one-time!
02:08Well, Vic, the cocky and brash tandem is back on the road to WrestleMania, but they've certainly inserted themselves into some World Heavyweight Championship business.
02:16They certainly have, because, look, they both know. Say what you want to say about Therian Waller.
02:22They know how to keep their name in the marquee. They know how to keep people talking, and they want to have yet another WrestleMania moment.
02:32Certainly had a huge one last year in Philadelphia as a part of the SmackDown roster.
02:40Now that they've found their way to Monday nights, and we've certainly seen them disrupt some things over the last couple of weeks.
02:46It hasn't been easy, though. If you actually ask those two individuals, it hasn't been easy.
02:50They thought it was. Remember when you go back to the portal and the window and people getting moved and them showing up on Raw and the crowd?
02:59They thought, oh, this was going to be easy. They had to start over, and I think they're starting to understand that.
03:03And that's why they're inserting themselves anywhere they possibly can.
03:07They're right there front and center for the Netflix premiere back in early January, but now Grayson Waller in the ring with Akira Tozawa.
03:15Wow. That's actually pretty impressive.
03:17And Tozawa trying to stay one up.
03:19Of course, Tozawa had some tough sledding last week against Karrion Kross, looking to rebound right here.
03:24Can't say that again, and Kross made his presence known this past Monday, getting right in the face of the phenomenal one, AJ Styles.
03:30AJ Styles, as Styles prepares for Logan Paul at WrestleMania.
03:36Nice counter there by Tozawa.
03:38Theory, I think Theory just said, tag me in.
03:41Austin Theory wants a piece.
03:45Wait a second.
03:47He doesn't want the stamina monster, Vic.
03:51He wants that powerful porterhouse.
03:53He keeps saying that.
03:55Then what is Tozawa?
03:56If he's a powerful porterhouse, what is he, a phenomenal flank steak?
04:00Like, what is he?
04:01He'd be a phenomenal fillet.
04:02I stole that because I just said AJ Styles, so I just kind of used the same word.
04:05That one doesn't count.
04:07As Otis locking horns here with Grayson Waller.
04:10And Vic, we always talk about how the Alpha Academy keeps such positive, upbeat attitudes.
04:15But it looks like this past Monday, maybe he found a junior cadet in the form of Burt Kreischer.
04:19Well, maybe so, but I don't think they're worried about this past Monday anymore.
04:22Nice drop kick, cover.
04:24Into the cover right here.
04:25A two count for Austin Theory.
04:27You keep talking about things this past Monday with Alpha Academy.
04:31How about the big dudes this past Monday?
04:33Rey Mysterio, El Grande Americano, two of the greatest luchadors of all time,
04:38are going to compete at WrestleMania.
04:41You know the Alpha Babes will be watching that matchup closely.
04:45Austin Theory trying to get Otis up there.
04:46I had a feeling you'd bring up El Grande Americano today.
04:50Of course, his big return this past Monday.
04:52Did you witness it?
04:53Did you see what happened?
04:54All eyes, including Tozawa, who's on that matchup.
04:58Yes, certainly came away with a big win right there.
05:01But right now, Otis and Tozawa trying to work in unison here.
05:04That's a wake-up call.
05:05That'll certainly kick-start the stamina monster.
05:10And from the inside out.
05:12Oh, and Maxine gets the face.
05:14Well, Waller's using Maxine.
05:15Oh, Waller distracted Maxine, which opens the door for Theory.
05:21And the complexion of this matchup has changed.
05:23As A-Town down under on top right here.
05:26Can Alpha Academy get back into it?
05:29Back here on main event.
05:31A-Town down under.
05:32Still in control.
05:33As Austin Theory controlling the pace.
05:35And Vic talking about the road to WrestleMania.
05:38Did they slow down Jey Uso on his quest for gold?
05:40I don't necessarily say that they slowed him down, per se.
05:45But yeah, it's a bump in the road.
05:46Go into the cover.
05:47Waller hooks the outside leg.
05:49Only two.
05:49But as we know, and anyone that knows Jey Uso, there is nothing that is going to stop him.
05:55If you listen to the words he said, if you looked into that man's eyes this past Monday on Raw,
06:00when he was looking at Gunther face-to-face, you tell me if something's going to slow him down or stop him.
06:05Certainly does not look like it will.
06:07It's to Zella, waist counter.
06:08Only getting two.
06:10Ooh.
06:10But Waller, once again, slowing things down right now.
06:14We want to talk about A-Town down under.
06:16Of course, former WWE Tag Team Champions.
06:18A couple of weeks back, in the ring against one of the greatest tag teams of all time in the Usos.
06:23Vic, what did they prove in that matchup?
06:24They proved that they can rise the occasion with anyone.
06:28Arguably, in their own minds, they think they compete against any team from any era, if you really think about it.
06:35It's only a confidence boost, and that goes back to what we talked about at the start of this matchup.
06:39Wanting to get back to that stage.
06:41Wanting to get another WrestleMania moment.
06:43But look, let's be honest about it.
06:44Time's running out.
06:45WrestleMania's right around the corner.
06:46In Las Vegas.
06:48Not only that, but also stand and deliver on WrestleMania Saturday.
06:52Going to be a huge weekend indeed in Las Vegas.
06:54And right now, Grayson Waller.
06:59Dialing it up right now.
07:00Look at this double team here, Vic.
07:02Into the cover.
07:04Theory hooks the outside leg.
07:07Theory also did a nice job there of hooking Tozawa's arm back from underneath the bottom row to ensure there not be a break.
07:15And it's hard to argue.
07:16I don't like the guy.
07:17It's hard to argue with him.
07:18He had Tozawa down for a pound of five.
07:20But his partner didn't do him any favor.
07:23That's Tozawa right now.
07:24Trying to feed off of the WWE Universe here in Minneapolis.
07:29What?
07:29What?
07:30What?
07:31And Austin Theory.
07:34Shutting it all down.
07:35Otis certainly would love to get his hands right back on him.
07:39Cheap shot.
07:40As Austin Theory here showing no respect towards the Alpha Academy.
07:47Now trying to muck Tozawa.
07:50Yeah, not only that, did you see Theory really tough to say go tag your partner when you know you just knocked him down.
07:55Mind games being played a little bit here with Tozawa.
07:59But Tozawa's not a guy you want to toy around with.
08:01Think about everything he's been through.
08:03The dojo's in Japan since he's arrived here in the WWE.
08:06Tozawa starting to fight back.
08:08We talk about them being the workhorses here of main event.
08:11They've been pushed to the limit each and every week.
08:12It's time to break through right here.
08:15And Tozawa.
08:16Multiple revolutions coming down with the DDT.
08:19He's starting to feel it.
08:20Maxine trying to lift him up.
08:25And Tozawa showing off that incredible athleticism right here.
08:28Vic, look at that rotation.
08:30And picture perfect landing.
08:32But now, look at the tag.
08:34And it's time to free Otis.
08:36The knees are starting to knock.
08:37Down goes Waller.
08:39And the powerful Porterhouse is unleashing.
08:42Bam!
08:45And Otis going one on two.
08:50Laying waist to A-Town down under.
08:52And the high elevation down goes Grayson Waller.
08:57Otis.
08:58That Austin Perry might be regretting that cheap shot from moments ago.
09:03He's starting to roll.
09:04And Waller and Theory collide.
09:09Vic, we saw it earlier.
09:13Listen to this place.
09:18Minneapolis becoming unglued.
09:20Oh, yeah.
09:23Oh.
09:26Drops the elbow.
09:27Tozawa.
09:28Tozawa time.
09:29Open up the gates.
09:30Tozawa flies through.
09:32Into position.
09:33There's the tag.
09:34Oh, this would be such a huge win on the road to WrestleMania.
09:37There's step one into the drop zone.
09:41The big senton.
09:43Into the cover.
09:44And an amazing win for Alpha Academy.
09:48Here are your winners.
09:51Alpha Academy.
09:53What a celebration here, Vic.
09:57Big win in tag team competition.
09:59Some would consider that an upset.
10:01And if you go back to the last time these two were here at Main Event, we've talked about
10:08needing wins, needing victories, picking up momentum, reminding the tag team division
10:12and general manager, Adam Pearce, just how good you are.
10:16This is a statement win for the Alpha Bags here in the WWE.
10:24Right now, let's turn our attention to SmackDown, where the WWE Universe was on the edge of their
10:29seats as the original Tribal Chief demanded to know exactly what to favor his wise man, Paul
10:35Heyman, owes CM Punk.
