WWE Main Event results: Trick Williams, Katana Chance in action

This week’s WWE Main Event action was taped prior to this past Monday’s Raw and featured more WWE NXT stars getting a main roster look in Trick Williams and Katana Chance.

I can’t lie to you: these matches were pretty awful.

Katana Chance defeated Tamina

Chance (the former Kacy Catanzaro) is one half of the NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions and did a very bland inset promo to kick things off. In the WWE system since 2018, she made her main roster debut in 2019 in the women’s Royal Rumble and has had several dark matches but has primarily been in NXT.

This was pretty bad. Tamina used her significant size advantage throughout the match, nearly finishing Chance with a superkick before pulling her up at two. Chance then got a pinning combination off a counter for the unconvincing win. 

– Trick Williams was walking backstage and talking to Carmelo Hayes on the phone. He walked up on Cedric Alexander and asked where his dressing room was and threw him the keys to his car as he didn’t know who Alexander was.

Williams then ran down Alexander, laughing because Hayes beat Alexander before. Alexander told Williams to send Hayes a message and then slapped him. Williams is so comfortable with his character that he’s a can’t miss…if he can figure it out in the ring.

In a later segment, Williams brought the cameraman into the gym as Alexander was injured and favoring his neck, saying that is what happens when you disrespect him.

As expected, Alexander came out firing with chops and kicks, ready to show Williams who he was following both the disrespect and the backstage attack.

This was a pretty basic match that Alexander was rolling with until Williams hit a pop-up uppercut to get control. He continued to roll with pretty basic offense leading to…the dreaded mid-match rest hold. 

Alexander eventually got back into this, waiting for what felt like 30 minutes for Williams to get into position for a second rope flatliner. 

Then, there was a horrendous sequence where Williams hit a spinning kick and Alexander wasn’t close enough to the ropes upon falling. The ref then was counting but was in the way of Alexander getting his foot to the rope. Alexander attempted and the ref called it like he did…even though the camera was right there and he clearly didn’t. Woof.

Alexander got the win off a Lumbar Check counter to end a match that was not very good. I am wondering if this was designed to be a motivator of some sort to Williams.
