WWE Main Event 1/3/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/12/wwe-main-event-12252025.html

Note - WWE's deal with Peacock ended on 12/31/2025. It looks like this is currently only available on non-US version of WWE's youtube channel starting at 9AM on Saturday's. You won't see it unless you use a VPN. The link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsVwhq6ZR5k. I don't really understand why they are doing things this way but I assume it'll end up on the WWE US youtube page at some point. Peacock's deal ending with WWE also means that the WWE Main Event archives are gone, which is sad as there's probably 500+ episodes of Main Event that can't be seen and that almost nobody has.

Blake Howard and Vic Joseph are on commentary. They mention youtube is Main Event's new home. 

Alex Shelley vs Angel

We haven't seen much of The Gun's lately and Angel's been more active in AAA than he has here.

Angel misses a corner chop then takes double chops from Alex. Alex suplexes him. Angel misses a corner charge and Alex's throat is pulled down over the top. Angel running knees him against the ropes and foot chokes him. Berto hits Alex from the outside and Chris Sabin backs him up.

Angel takes his pants off and kicks Alex. Alex takes a hard chest bump in the buckles and Angel isn't ready for it. Angel pop-up kicks him for 1. Angel hits crossface shots. Angel fish hooks him. Angel ties up Alex's arms and chinlocks him.

Alex hits punches to the gut and backdrops him. Alex hits chops. Alex atomic drops him and lariats him. Alex hits a running corner lariat and flatliners him into the middle buckle for 2. Angel headbutts him and superkicks him for 2. Angel hits headbutts then misses an asai moonsault. 

Alex goes up top and Berto grabs him. Berto takes a double kick from The Gun's. Angel tries to pin Alex with his feet on the ropes and is caught. Angel is hit with a superkick. Alex hits a sliced bread #2 and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a shorter bout and not much of note. They botched an irish whip into the buckles spot. Berto interfered a bit and neither guy really tried that hard here.

We get a video on Austin Theory and clips of The Vision talking on Raw this week. CM Punk ended up interrupting. 

We see clips of the women's 3-way from Raw this week. 

We see clips of Carmelo Hayes winning the WWE US Title last week.

Bravo Americano vs Joaquin Wilde

They accidentally put JW's tron up for Bravo. JW comes out alone.

BA wristlocks him and JW reverses it. BA pulls him down by the hair twice but JW kips up. JW side headlocks him andthrows him down. BA cartwheels over him and poses. JW backrolls into a reverse spinning headscissors. JW armdrags him into an armlock. 

JW boots him out of the corner and does rope tricks as he avoids BA. He jawbreakers BA and dropkicks him. JW walks up the buckles and is distracted by Rayo Americano. JW is pulled down and stomped. BA tilt-a-whirl backbreakers him.

We go to break and return. JW hits shots to the gut and BA trips him. BA is pushed out. JW crossbodies him for 2. BA lariats him. BA pulls JW's arms back. JW throws him by the arms and is kicked in the gut. JW flying forearms him twice then spinning ddt's him. 

BA's throat is pulled down over the top. JW slingshot splashes him then asai moonsaults him for 2. BA hits kicks and is superkicked. JW flying armbars him down. BA drops him out of it. Rayo gives BA a weapon. JW flips over BA and tope con hilos Rayo outside. The ref takes BA's weapon away. JW top rope crossbodies BA but BA backrolls through, grabs the tights and pins him.

Thoughts: It was acceptable but not much more. Bravo tried to cheat here and got caught but picked up the pin right after. It wasn't anyone's best work and it honestly didn't matter who won here.

We see a Rhea/Iyo promo.

We see clips of the tag title match from Raw with AJ/Dragon Lee vs The Uso's. 

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual along with various recaps and replays. Neither match was that good and Wilde was the only one who I thought put some effort in on this show. I wouldn't recommend this.
