00:00The intensity is beginning to magnify, as one week from Saturday it all comes down in Atlanta, with the return of Bad Blood! Welcome to Main Event!
00:31And we're getting the action started tonight, and what for the last few weeks has turned into the ultimate alpha party!
00:37And with much success, the stamina monster now on his own, looks for three in a row here on Main Event!
00:46As Tozawa looking to get it started tonight, need a little shimmy to get it going!
00:50Lake Howard now joined once again alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph, welcome back to Main Event!
00:56What a time to be a member of the WWE Universe, Jey Uso the new Intercontinental Champion, Bad Blood a week from Saturday,
01:02NXT moving to the CW Tuesday, October the 1st, and I'm here sitting next to you.
01:07And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Scarlett, representing the Final Testament, Karrion Kross!
01:32Certainly a very important time right now for the WWE, but we go from a dancing stable, to one of pure destruction!
01:39As the man who has spearheaded the Final Testament from Friday Night Smackdown to Monday Night Raw, looks to impose his brand of beautiful violence!
01:47And his return to Main Event.
01:49You look at Karrion Kross, you're looking at someone who's a feared striker, quite the grappler as well, and I just noticed Blake, I don't mean to call you out,
01:59but I just noticed as soon as Scarlett got here ringside, you started sweating.
02:05Well it's certainly hot out here in Ontario, I don't know if it has anything to do with Scarlett.
02:09Well, might need to get you a towel.
02:13But certainly the trembling can start coming when the Final Testament comes around.
02:18Now you're getting tongue tied, what is it?
02:21As the authors of pain, Paul Ellering, normally joining Karrion Kross and Scarlett,
02:27But tonight, Karrion Kross going to give it a go on his own here against the stamina monster, and Vic Tozawa coming out at guns a blazing.
02:35Well he's got to right, when it comes to Tozawa you can obviously see he does not have the size nor the strength advantage,
02:41he's going to have to use some of that elusive ability that he possesses, his quickness as well.
02:46And you see that quickness on display right there, Tozawa from the top!
02:50Taking down Kross early on, and of course Tozawa coming off of two tag team wins in back-to-back weeks.
02:56How different of a look is tonight, Vic?
02:58Well you can already see the look in Tozawa's eyes as he looks to fly! Big dive, got caught!
03:03Right into the outstretch going into Karrion Kross, and this is a position that Tozawa does not want to be in.
03:11The third week is not a charm, Vic.
03:13Well I was getting ready to say, as we see another look at Kross just pure power on display,
03:19and then not a great ending if you're Tozawa or a fan of the Alpha Academy.
03:25I was getting ready to say that with each passing week it seemed that the confidence was growing in Tozawa and the Alpha Academy.
03:32As you see Kross there staring down Otis, that would certainly be a collision course of monumental proportions.
03:40Now the WWE Universe here in Ontario, not a big fan of Karrion Kross.
03:44It's easy to see why, the way he carries himself, the way he moves, the way he speaks,
03:50and especially the actions of Karrion Kross on Monday Night Raw.
03:54We've certainly seen those actions in recent weeks, Vic, as Kross taking control here against Akira Tozawa.
04:00We've seen with various superstars, oh! As Scarlett getting involved!
04:05And Vic right up against Spooky Seas, he knows Scarlett's starting to cook something up.
04:09You talk about Karrion Kross, you obviously start talking about AOP, you start talking about Scarlett, you start talking about Paul Ellering.
04:18This group, it's safe to say, they want to create chaos, they want to wreak havoc,
04:24they want to divide the locker room and throw everything into a state of flux.
04:30And Kross looks out at Otis, and Maxine, and inflicting the damage right here.
04:39Let's take another look here, Vic.
04:42Kross dumping down Akira Tozawa, and we've mostly seen it primarily with The New Day,
04:47but how manipulative has Karrion Kross been on Monday Nights?
04:50Well look, he can get under your skin, more importantly, he gets into your mind,
04:53he's starting to cast doubt, think about Xavier Woods.
04:56You start second-guessing yourself, just like in sports, you make a mistake,
05:00and it seems that it's Kross who made a mistake right here, right now, and this could be the moment for Tozawa!
05:06Tozawa certainly not second-guessing this offensive output!
05:09Taking down Karrion Kross!
05:11Missile dropkick into the cover, hooks the outside leg!
05:14And right on the cusp there, and Vic coming off of two tag team wins in back-to-back weeks here on Main Event.
05:19How different of a look, really, is Karrion Kross coming here to the cure of Tozawa?
05:23Well, Karrion Kross, oh, wait a minute, I can't even answer your question,
05:26because we gotta look at what's gonna happen here to Tozawa as reality starts to sink in.
05:34Tozawa mania certainly not running wild here in Ontario, as Kross has different designs.
05:41Nobody puts Tozawa in a corner.
05:43Oh, and Tozawa, off the top slips and flip! What is doing Vic?
05:47And right on the cusp, and Tozawa keeping his foot on the gas right here.
05:53And Karrion Kross just unleashes!
05:57Good night.
05:58And Tozawa says one final prayer.
06:03Here is your winner, Karrion Kross!
06:08No games here for Karrion Kross, Vic, as he puts an exclamation point on this victory.
06:13We're gonna see a highlight reel here in a second for Karrion Kross in this matchup,
06:17as Tozawa was cooking at certain points of this matchup.
06:20Not as close as he got, but I wanna go back to something you asked about Karrion Kross,
06:24because Karrion Kross right here in this moment showed you just how dangerous he is.
06:28And think about the names you said, New Day, Miz, the list goes on.
06:31Former WWE Champions, Tag Team Champions, future Hall of Famers.
06:35If he can beat them down, just imagine what that will do for the momentum of Karrion Kross.
06:43Karrion Kross imposed his will on Akira Tozawa to pick up the win here on Main Event.
06:48And speaking of imposing figures, here's a closer look at WWE's newest faction, Pure Fusion Collective.
