WWE Main Event results: Dexter Lumis vs. Odyssey Jones

This week’s WWE Main Event was taped at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona, before Monday’s Raw.

Dana Brooke defeated Elektra Lopez (5:09)

This was a solid match and they worked well together. Lopez certainly didn’t look out of place working a main roster show. Interestingly, she has been on the main roster before back in a 2019 SmackDown match as one of the Brooklyn Belles against then-WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The IIconics.

The most impressive thing here was how much Brooke gave to Lopez. Lopez looks like she works pretty safe, but Brooke sold constantly for her throughout the match.

Although Lopez used a couple of chin locks, she worked quickly and showed off a good moveset. She worked over Brooke’s back and used a nice looking gutwrench suplex.

Brooke rallied with her bulldog and cartwheel moonsault, but Lopez kicked out at two. Lopez rolled through Brooke’s crossbody attempt and lifted her into a powerslam position from the mat. She only got a near fall from it, but it looked impressive.

Brooke grabbed the win with a victory roll, so I suppose the narrative here was that Brooke upended her by being the more experienced of the two, but it would have done no harm to have had Lopez get her hand raised.

They could easily give Lopez a run and make her look dominant on the main roster, but hopefully they will give her a few more runouts on shows like this first.

Dexter Lumis (w/ Johnny Gargano) defeated Odyssey Jones (7:33)

This was ok. Lumis looked good and gave Jones quite a lot. Jones worked slowly and methodically, but the issue is his gimmick and not his in-ring work.

Lumis has done a few Main Event tapings this year and has generally looked good, but this was his first episode with Gargano in tow. Jones, likewise, has done ok in the few outings he has had on the show.

In the opening, Jones showed off his power before Lumis mounted him in the corner for the ten punches. Jones rallied to send him outside as we went to a commercial.

After the break, Lumis took three splashes in the corner and World’s Strongest Slam but kicked out at two. Jones then locked in a nerve hold as you could see he was tired. Lumis worked his way out, Jones ran into a boot, and Lumis used a second rope missile dropkick to take him off his feet.

Gargano gave Lumis some advice from the outside and Lumis managed to hit Jones with a side slam. He then did a kip up into a legdrop which looked extremely cool, but Jones kicked out at two.

The finish made Jones looked a bit foolish: Lumis pushed him into the ropes and then ducked down behind him to quickly roll him up for the win.

Gargano and Lumis made out of there like bandits while Jones was left looking distraught.

Final Thoughts:

Overall, this was a good show. Like a lot of WWE content this week, it has been about building to WrestleMania, but the two matches were perfectly fine here. Hopefully, after things settle again, we will return to some inset promos, backstage segments and dare I say some angles on this show in the near future.
