WWE Main Event results: Bron Breakker, Wendy Choo in action

  • James Cox

Last week’s WWE Main Event was taped at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, before Monday’s Raw.

Bron Breakker defeated Akira Tozawa (3:43)

This was fine, but nothing special. Even though the match length suggests a squash, Tozawa showed more fight than that.

The WWE NXT Champion had an inset promo challenging whomever he faced on Main Event to get ready because they were going to feel like they had been shot out of a cannon.

Tozawa was typically plucky here and got in plenty of offense, including a top rope dropkick and a couple of near falls. The crowd was into Breakker who smiled and postured a lot in the early going.

Breakker slowed things down on a few occasions with chin locks, but would spring into action as soon as he was challenged. He landed a standing moonsault and a spinebuster in the build up to the finish.

Tozawa went up top, but Breakker ran up to meet him and threw him off the top rope on to his back. He then finished him off with his military press powerslam to get his second ever solo win on a main roster show.

Wendy Choo defeated Dana Brooke (6:23)

This was a little too wacky for my taste, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Choo again showed that she was able to topple more experienced opponents through sheer timing and a little bit of fluke luck on her side. 

As Choo made her entrance, they replayed her last outing on Main Event from November 2022 where she scored a win against Tamina after dodging a charge to the corner and rolling her up. Brooke was impatient at how long her ring entrance took, clapping her hands and shouting, “Come on! Let’s go!”

Despite this being Choo’s home crowd, they weren’t much into what was going on. She offered Brooke a drink out of her cup and when Brooke checked with the crowd whether she should accept, there was zero reaction.

They did some comedy with Choo offering Brooke a sleep mask before Brooke locked in a rest hold leading into the commercial.

After the ads, Choo fired up with a sequence ending in a second rope crossbody for two. Brooke countered with a springboard splash for two before she went up top.

As Brooke was steadying herself on the top rope, Choo grabbed her fluffy pink pillow and pretended to go to sleep. Brooke then repositioned her, but Choo again rolled away. They then had a tug of war with the pillow before Choo rolled Brooke up for the win.

There was a very light reaction to the shock result and Brooke just smiled and shook her head, saying, “Ok, you got me.” They shook hands before Brooke made her way to the back.

Final Thoughts:

The matches were the wrong way round this week which affected the overall feel of the show. Breakker and Tozawa should have had longer and the Brooke vs. Choo match could have been done in half the time and still achieved the same effect. 

As always, credit goes to Tozawa and Brooke for being good opponents for fresh faces on main roster television.
