WWE Main Event 1/24/2024
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/01/wwe-main-event-1172024.html
Gigi Dolin vs Chelsea Green
The announcer says Green's name in an exaggerated way again. They stopped doing this for a match a few weeks ago for unknown reasons and got flack for it. It happened right after they fired McKenzie Mitchell too, so it didn't seem like an accident.
Green rolls out of a lock up and hits her in the back of the head. Gigi arm flips her then rolls her up. Gigi snapmares her then hits a chop and kick combo. Gigi hits a big forearm then stretches her on the ropes. Gigi dropkicks her in the ropes then Green does a sliding flatliner.
Green hits shots in the corner and sends her into the 2nd buckle. Green hits a nasty curbstomp into the bottom buckle for 2. Green stretches both of her arms back. Gigi rolls her up for 2 then they pump kick each other at the same time and go down.
Gigi hits kicks and forearms. Gigi high kicks her then Green slaps her. Green is thrown into the post then hits a nasty half-nelson suplex. Gigi dropkicks her against the bottom rope for 2. Gigi goes for the gigi driver and Piper holds onto Green. Green hits a jumping unprettier and wins it.
It could have cut a minute off or so but it was a decent match. Gigi looked the best I've seen her look in a while here with good execution on her moves and Green got to show off a little more what she could do when not in a rushed tag match on Raw. The crowd did not care one bit though.
Brutus Creed vs Myles Borne
YESSSS. This is like a PWB dream match right here. This could really be good. They spelled Borne's name wrong here on the graphic, spelling it "Bourne" though it was right on the tron. I wish they'd switch Borne back to his old look as he just looks messy and bland.
Borne slips out of a lock-up then is backed up in the corner. Borne slaps him in the corner then Brutus picks him up and slams him down twice. Brone hits some nice punches then is shouldered over. Brutus hits a spinebuster then hammerfist shots. He actually gets the crowd to count along on the shots. Brutus deadlift suplexes him.
Brutus is crotched up top then Green hits a nice dropkick. We go to break even though this doesn't air on TV. We return and Green stomps Brutus. Borne hits some good punches and throws him hard into the corner. Borne double stomps the back of Brutus for 2. Borne chinlocks him then hits a nice jumping neckbreaker for 2.
Brutus flips Borne over and double chops him down. Brutus throws him overhead on a suplex then corner splashes him. Brutus hits a running torture rack drop and standing moonsaults him for 2. Borne hits a nice powerslam for 2 then misses a dropkick. Brutus lifts and powerbombs him. Brutus then hits a top rope Brutus ball and wins it.
It was okay, just they were stuck in front of a crowd who didn't know or care about either of them. As usual, Borne had flawless execution on all of his moves and Brutus had a few highlights here with the Brutusball and various suplexes. I had not seen the single person Brutusball before so that was something different. It would have been better on NXT.
Overall thoughts: Only 2 matches here with a bunch of recaps and other videos sprinkled in. The two matches were fine to good but not great and I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to see this.
