WWE Main Event results: Alexander & Benjamin vs. Enofe & Blade

This past week’s WWE Main Event was taped at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, before last Monday's WWE Raw.

Michin defeated Tamina (5:17)

This was fine for what it was. They worked well together, but it felt like an opening match by numbers.

Last week on Main Event, these two were teaming together at the top of the show. This week, Yim fully became Michin in both her graphics and how the announcers talked about her. It's been a slow transition. Saxton told us that she had requested the match against Tamina, but didn't say why.

After some early work with Michin outsmarting Tamina, the match was a slow, methodical beatdown from Tamina. She used a suplex, a charge to the corner, and a chinlock to take the pace out of the match.

Michin hit a flapjack for two as she got the hope, as a people were still filing in to their seats for Raw. She tried to rally the crowd behind here but walked into a power slam from Tamina and kicked out at two.

Finally, a dropkick from Michin allowed her to hit the Eat Defeat to get the win. Tamina sold the finisher like it really slayed her.

Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin (w/ MVP) defeated Edris Enofe & Malik Blade (5:40)

This was a very good tag match with both teams looking good. In only their second Main Event appearance, Enofe and Blade looked completely at home.

They gave Enofe and Blade an inset promo on their way to the ring. They referenced that they were back on Main Event but that their match against the Hurt Business might be their toughest test to date.

Blade and Alexander worked together well to start with some really intricate moves before Benjamin tagged in, sized up Enofe, and beat him up. Alexander took out Enofe on the apron with a Rock Bottom as we went to the break.

The second half of the match saw Alexander and Benjamin cut the ring in half to build to the hot tag for Blade. He ran wild when it finally came but walked into a Michinoku driver from Alexander for a near fall.

At the finish, Enofe got dragged outside by Alexander and thrown into the dasherboards, while Benjamin hit Blade with a high knee to the corner. Alexander then tagged in and they hit Blade with a double team that saw Benjamin launch Blade into the air and onto Alexander’s knee.

Final Thoughts:

A good tag match and a perfectly fine women’s match as the opener made for a good show this week. With all the Raw storylines and road to WrestleMania features to cover, they have stopped doing any backstage stuff on Main Event over the past few weeks. Hopefully, they bring these back soon as it gives the talent something else to develop their characters and also allows for storylines to unfold.
