This week's WWE Main Event was taped before last Monday's Raw in Brooklyn, New York, featuring the usual pair of bouts.
Blake Howard and Brian "Road Dogg" James were on the call with less than great results. Howard didn't do anything to enhance the action and James was not good, often interrupting Howard.
It's the case of a good talker being expected to also be good on commentary. However, as Liam Neeson knows, it takes a man/woman with a unique set of skills to do both.
Chelsea Green defeated Natalya
This was a rematch from several weeks ago when Green picked up a win on this very show, and their fourth-ever singles match. Green had an interesting week overall after claiming she was kicked out of a Brooklyn hotel due to staff thinking she was an escort.
The two brawled all the way up the entranceway at one point with Natalya battering Green's head into any inanimate object that existed. After she regained the advantage, Green used a referee distraction to surprise Natalya with a a Zig-Zag and nearfall.
Natalya rallied with some clotheslines and went for the Sharpshooter, only to get countered. A nearfall exchange followed and Green eventually got the rollup pin with a handful of tights.
This is Green's third straight singles win and her fifth straight on Main Event.
Jinder Mahal (w/ Veer) defeated Akira Tozawa (w/ Otis)
It's wild that Mahal was part of this whole kickoff for The Rock returning and main eventing night one of WrestleMania 40 -- something to remember for your wrestling trivia nights. This was his first match anywhere in nearly two months.
These two have wrestled twice before: both in 2020, once on Raw and once on Main Event. Mahal is 2-0 in those matches as you might imagine.
As you might expect, the size difference between these two was played up early with Mahal dominating with exciting rest holds and such.
After getting beat up most of the match, Tozawa made his comeback, nearly getting the win off a missile dropkick. After ripping his shirt Hulk Hogan-style, he went to the top again but missed a senton bomb and got nailed with a big boot. Mahal then got the win after hitting the Khallas (Million Dollar Dream lock into a slam).
It's Mahal's second straight win (both on Main Event) while Tozawa has been winless in TV/house show matches since February.
That concludes a heel-friendly edition of Main Event. We're onto WrestleMania.
