This week’s WWE Main Event was taped at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas before Monday’s episode of Raw.

Akira Tozawa & Otis defeated Sanga & Veer (w/ Jinder Maha) (4:56)

This was exactly what you would expect: Tozawa played babyface in peril until Otis got the hot tag and made everyone happy. It was a fun, basic tag match to kick off the show.

Sanga and Veer haven't appeared on Main Event since November and, while dominant here, notched up their first-ever loss on this show.

The early going was Indus Sher essentially just squashing Tozawa. This is what Tozawa does so well and he threw himself all over the ring, making them look unbeatable.

They cut the ring in half and did the dirty on Otis whenever they could, even attacking them before the bell. But it was all about Otis getting the hot tag and the crowd loved it when it came.

Otis hit clotheslines before Tozawa joined in and came off the top. The ring filled until Tozawa rolled through and Otis used a clothesline to take Sanga off his feet to get the pinfall.

Chelsea Green defeated Natalya (7:42)

This was good, but went longer than it needed to. It's always fun seeing Natalya on Main Event.

Chelsea Green continues to be an excellent heel on this show and has become something of a regular of late. She clearly relishes the role and Natayla is such a natural babyface at this point that this was a good pairing at the top of the show.

They went back and forth until Natalya grabbed a two-count after a dropkick. Green didn't like it one bit and rolled out of the ring to take a walk. Cheap heat, but done well here, and we went to the commercial break.

The second half of the match was slow to begin with, with rest holds, but once they started to trade near falls, the crowd was more engaged.

Natalya kept looking for the sharpshooter, but her best chance came after a powerbomb when it looked like she had won it.

When Green rolled outside for the second time, Natalya was foolish enough to follow and came back in to meet a stiff kick and stomp. Green seized the moment and quickly used the UnPrettyHer for the win.
