WWE Main Event results: Joe Gacy, Zoey Stark in action

This past week’s edition of WWE Main Event was taped at the Norfolk Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia before Monday’s Raw and featured the show debuts of both Joe Gacy and Zoey Stark.

Zoey Stark defeated Dana Brooke (5:41)

This was a good match, all things considered. Brooke has really improved in the last few years and she and Stark worked well together here.

Stark’s debut on Main Event is the latest in a long line of NXT call-ups to this show over the last few months. Of all the women’s matches that they have put on involving debutantes, this was one of the better ones.

Stark has been with the company for a little over a year, having been around the indies throughout the 2010s and has some impressive moves in her arsenal, in addition to selling well for opponents.

The highlights here included a second rope superplex that left both selling for some time and a neat little springboard corkscrew move that saw Stark land on Brooke with her back.

In the end, Stark kind of pulled a move out of nowhere to finish it. She used a belly-to-back modified GTS that they’re calling the Z 360 to get the win.

It was good to Brooke put Stark over and will be interesting to find out if we see any more of Stark on main roster television moving forward.

Cedric Alexander defeated Joe Gacy (8:00)

This was a good debut match for Gacy as he and Alexander worked with a real smoothness that you rarely see in a first meeting.

The early going was a little slow for my taste, but after the commercial and in the last few moments, they really hit their stride and did some good, explosive stuff.

Early on, Alexander refused a handshake and Gacy used lots of stomps, kicks and chin locks. He had a snarl on his face when he locked in the rest holds which would lend itself to him being a good heel in the future.

After the break, Alexander sent Gacy outside with a German suplex and then hit a suicide dive. He then used a really impressive flatliner where he sprung off the middle rope to give him momentum as he re-entered the ring.

After Alexander kicked out of a side slam, he then missed the Neutraliser, but managed to counter Gacy’s handsprung clothesline attempt to roll him up and snatch the win.

Final Thoughts:

These were two very watchable matches this week on Main Event which left the fans happy as they waited for Raw to begin. The debuts continue which is good to see, but it would be nice to see some of the more impressive performers – like Stark and Gacy – get rewarded with another run on this show.
