WWE Main Event 6/26/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/06/wwe-main-event-6192025.html

Kairi Sane vs Ivy Nile

They lock up and trade waistlocks. Ivy throws her down backwards. Ivy flying kick her then clubs on her neck. Ivy misses a corner charge. Sane misses a top rope move and taunts her. Sane uses the ropes to headscissor her. Sane basement dropkicks her.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time and wasn't that good. Sane may have been the lesser wrestler here which is something that doesn't happen often. She just didn't hit things that clean in this one and was just not on her A-game. Ivy's not that great either and probably wasn't the best opponent for her on an off night.

GW misses a 2nd rope springboard elbow drop. Ivar butt drops him out of the corner. Austin comes in and hits lariats on Erik. He flying back elbows him then double underhook suplexes him. Ivar facekicks Austin. Austin catches Ivar's crossbody in the corner and slams him. Austin hypes up and shakes the ropes. Austin has Erik and GW tags himself in.

GW is pushed into Austin. GW jawbreakers Erik. Ivar's throat is pulled down over the top rope. GW rolls in and is popped up into war machine. GW is then pinned.

Thoughts: It was an interesting match. They definitely had some plants starting Austin chants in the crowd, but it worked. Austin was the face here against his own partner and the two couldn't get along. The War Raiders weren't heels but were just along for the ride in this one. I liked the match. Austin and Waller got thrown around by the bigger guys and fought with each other in between. 

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches here as usual. The women's match got a lot of time but wasn't that good with Kairi Sane having an off night. I liked the men's tag match and it continued the Main Event face turn of Austin Theory. That match had an interesting dynamic with Austin being the face against his partner Waller yet still having to go up against the face War Raiders. I think the men's tag is worth seeing here as it was something different and took the viewer to an alternate universe where they pretend that Austin and Waller splitting up has actually been featured on TV.
