WWE Main Event this week was taped at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut before Monday’s episode of Raw.

The Miz got his own entrance as he joined Blake Howard on commentary at the start of the show.

Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn defeated Katana Chance & Kayden Carter

A clean win over former tag champs could be the start of Fyre and Dawn moving up the tag team rankings on Raw.

Chance and Carter got the early advantage but that changed after Fyre was able to tag out to Dawn. Fyre and Dawn then isolated Chance and worked her down until she was able to make a hot tag to her partner. Carter then took out both heels and got the crowd into it before Fyre hit her with a superkick and a sit-out powerbomb. Carter got back on offense pretty quickly but then tagged out to Chance. Fyre quickly got the upper hand on Chance, however, and then she and Dawn hit their Gory bomb/flatliner double-team finish for the win.

On commentary, they played up how Fyre & Dawn are off to a good start since being drafted to Raw.

New Catch Republic (Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate) defeated The Creed Brothers (Julius & Brutus Creed)

With one-half of the World Tag Team champions on commentary, this match was played up as a contest between two potential title-challenging teams. Miz mentioned The Creed Brothers have five wins on Main Event and seem poised to make a big impact on Raw. He also suggested Dunne & Bate could be tough challengers for Awesome Truth’s belts in the future.

Dunne went to his small joint manipulation moves pretty quickly on Julius but Julius got back into it after Dunne tagged out. At one point, Julius was in a seated position while grappling with Bate and somehow managed to still pick his opponent up in a vertical suplex position, stand up while still holding Bate up, and then deliver the suplex just before the show went to commercial.

When we came back from the ads, Brutus had Bate in a chinlock. The Creeds then double-teamed Bate for a period. Bate fought back and made a hot tag to Dunne, who then took out both Creed brothers. Dunne hit a tornado DDT from the second rope for a near fall. Bate then came in and performed an airplane spin on Brutus.

Brutus then took Bate out with a running knee and that left Dunne alone in the ring with both Creeds. They hit a double powerbomb but the brothers couldn’t quite figure out who was legal and the time they wasted allowed Bate to get back in the ring and make the save. I don’t think that was part of any story, though, I think they just legitimately couldn’t figure out who was legal. Dunne then hit his finger-snapping move on Julius and then he and Bate hit a double Tyler Driver for the win.
