WWE Main Event results: Bronson Reed vs. Dexter Lumis

The post-WrestleMania 39 edition of WWE Main Event has arrived, chock full of major angles. Not really, but this was taped this past Monday prior to WWE Raw at Staples Center in Los Angeles. And boy, what a show this was.

Rick Boogs defeated Cedric Alexander (w/ Shelton Benjamin)

Boogs was already in the ring awaiting Alexander as apparently, they were short on time with all the video packages to come to give the big man an entrance. Boogs was full of energy, flexing and yelling and doing more flexing and yelling anytime he put his power on display by throwing Alexander around.

Boogs used his power to do bicep curls with Benjamin followed by an overhead throw. Alexander didn’t seem to care for this as he wanted to get counted out, but Boogzseventually went out after him. Boogs very slowly pursued Alexander, but got distracted by Benjamin and eventually taken out by a spear while on the apron. By slowly, I mean a glacial pace.

Alexander went to work with rest holds and a front face lock, but Boogs tossed him overhead in a display of sheer power to regain the momentum. Eventually, Boogs got the win with a press into a slam of sorts for the pin and win in a relatively lifeless match.

Bronson Reed defeated Dexter Lumis

Lumis was looking to pick up his second straight win and second straight against a big man as he defeated Odyssey Jones on this show last week.

These two have a history going back to NXT when they first squared off during the 2019 NXT Breakout Tournament. This is their fourth ever singles match and Lumis has yet to pick up a win in this classic series.

I also couldn’t help but think what the future for these two will be given all the changes in WWE and their past being released.

This followed a similar pattern as the first match with Reed showing off his power to hold the advantage over Lumis, albeit in a much more athletic fashion. Reed missed a running back splash which gave Lumis an opening. He hit a big back suplex, kip up and a ledrop that got a very close near fall. 

In the end, Reed’s size was too much, countering a Lumis attack by simply running into him, then picking up the win after the Tsunami splash off the top.
