00:00Up next on Main Event, can Gallus turn their luck around and finally pick up a win over Alpha Academy?
00:07Wolfgang and the Coffee Brothers have shown their skill on NXT, but will try to leave their mark on the main roster
00:13as they face off in tag team action against Otis and Akira Tozawa.
00:31The following is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
00:36Introducing first, accompanied by Joe Coffey, Wolfgang and Mark Coffey, Gallus!
00:47Well certainly no Great White North for this trio.
00:49But the angry, bitter, no-nonsense veterans are back this week on Main Event
00:54as they look to avenge their loss over their very same opponents from a few weeks back.
00:58And right here tonight, after mixing it up a little bit as the last time out,
01:02it was the Brothers Coffee with Mark and Joe.
01:05But of course the traditional Gallus boys in tag team competition, Mark Coffey and Wolfgang,
01:10will get it done tonight.
01:12And of course this Saturday, Bad Blood is presented by Morgan & Morgan,
01:16America's largest injury law firm.
01:18Go to MorganWWE.com for a chance to win two tickets to the Royal Rumble and $2,000.
01:24And by Wendy's new saucy nugs.
01:26Take the nugs you love and sauce them up in 7-bolt flavors like Honey BBQ or Garlic Bomb.
01:31Try them all today for a whole new way to nug.
01:33It's gotta be Wendy's!
01:41Haha, listen to Heaven's Bell!
01:43And their opponents, accompanied by Maxi Dupree, Akira Tozawa and Otis Alpha Academy!
02:01Well Wade, over the last few weeks I've been joined by the likes of Vic Joseph as well as Byron Saxon.
02:06I feel terrible for you already, but go on!
02:09Yeah, you've been watching from afar, but it's essentially been the Academy's month here on Main Event.
02:13Undefeated in tag team action and the Stamina Monster looks to reverse his fortunes from one week ago against Karrion Kross.
02:20No doubt about it. Look, Alpha Academy, clearly top players.
02:23They've made their name here on Raw, on SmackDown, their improvement commodity.
02:27This is what Gallus need to figure out.
02:30However, Gallus boys are on top in NXT.
02:34Where do they want to be on top?
02:36Here on Main Event, and then subsequently on Raw and SmackDown.
02:40But to get there, you've got to start defeating the proven commodities like the Alpha Academy.
02:45Wade, I see you're writing something down over there. Taking some dance tips from Otis and Tozawa?
02:49Absolutely not. I was simply writing that I need to close my eyes every time Alpha Academy walk out.
02:56Except, of course, for the lovely Maxi Dupree. I'll keep my eyes on her.
03:00That's a nice save right there as Otis looks to get things started here with Wolfgang.
03:05Evansville coming unglued for Alpha Academy.
03:07I'll tell you right now, the Gallus boys made their names in the pubs of Scotland.
03:13And people like Otis and Tozawa are not welcome in any pub that I know of in Scotland.
03:19Although Maxi Dupree lives.
03:21Roll out the red carpet for Maxi.
03:24And again, Wade, we talked about it at the top here tonight. Wolfgang in there instead of Joe Coffey.
03:28Is that a classic Gallus mind game?
03:30No, it's not a mind game at all.
03:32The fact that Mark Coffey is brothers with Joe Coffey is one thing.
03:36The great tag team of Gallus has always been Mark Coffey and Wolfgang.
03:42You want the job done in the tag ranks, you pair those two up. Smart move.
03:45Mark Coffey and Wolfgang, 176 days as NXT Tag Team Champions.
03:49Over 500 days as NXT UK Tag Team Champions.
03:52But right now, Otis in the driver's seat. There's the tag to Akira Tozawa.
03:56But Wade, the big question is, how has Maxi recalibrated the Alpha Academy in recent weeks?
04:01Well, things went horribly wrong when Chad Gable turned on the group.
04:05He's now away with his own group, American Made, and being very successful in the process.
04:10But it was Maxi who's really had to galvanize this unit and get them back to full speed.
04:16And it looks like she's done a hell of a job.
04:19Erick Tozawa starting to rev that engine again. He's been taking flight the last few weeks here.
04:22As Mark Coffey looks to take over right now.
04:26But it's all Alpha Academy here. There's the tag into Wolfgang.
04:29And let's see what the Gallus Boys are able to dial up right now.
04:32Oh! And the odd man out, Joe Coffey. That numbers game playing a role right here.
04:36Well, I like it. And now Otis has completely lost control.
04:40As has this referee apparently.
04:42Talking about Joe Coffey coming on here on the announce table.
04:45Joe Coffey is on top and it's looking like the Gallus Boys are on top in this matchup.
04:51Gallus is controlling the pace. Can Alpha Academy come back?
04:55And we're back here on Main Event. Wade threw out the break. It was all Gallus.
05:00Taking control and refusing to give it up. It was a difficult start for Gallus.
05:05It always is against superstars.
05:08Mark Coffey stacks up Tozawa.
05:10As different as Tozawa and Otis.
05:13But once they're in control and they've smartly got the smaller man of the duo isolated.
05:20And the sooner they can put this one to bed, the better.
05:22As you hear Maxine shouting those words of encouragement.
05:24Trying to get behind Akira Tozawa right there.
05:26Wade in a recent tag made to Wolfgang.
05:28As in recent weeks, Wade, the Gallus Boys have been obsessed in NXT.
05:31With proving that athletes don't belong.
05:33What does that say about their mindset? Here we go into the cover.
05:35Only two.
05:36Well, I don't necessarily agree that athletes don't belong.
05:39Because I think the entire roster, including the Gallus, are certainly great world class athletes.
05:45But with that being said, it's the veteran, wily smarts of Gallus that have taken them this far.
05:50They're not the strongest guys in the locker room.
05:52They're not the fastest, but they certainly are the meanest.
05:56And Tozawa is finding that out first hand.
05:58Certainly trying to shut the door on any of the new superstars.
06:00Entering the performance center here is Gallus.
06:02Wants to get back into title contention.
06:04But what a counter there by Tozawa.
06:06That right there is the antithesis of what Gallus are all about.
06:10That freakish athleticism of Tozawa.
06:13And now the big man Otis is starting to shake what he's got.
06:17If Tozawa makes this tag, it is a game changer.
06:20Finding his bearings and right back to the Alpha Academy Corner.
06:23And it's time to free Otis.
06:25And the big man.
06:27Going right towards Mark Coffey.
06:29No way to stop this kind of offense.
06:33Certainly not legally.
06:35No way to stop this kind of offense.
06:38Certainly not legally.
06:40And Otis, as he's as dialed in as anyone right now.
06:43Ready for spooky season.
06:45Wants to head right into it with a victory.
06:50That's a whole lot of man coming down on Wolfgang.
06:53That is unusual territory for Wolfgang to be the small man in a contest.
06:58Wait a minute.
06:59Joe Coffey pops up. There's that numbers game again.
07:03Talk about a neutralization.
07:06She hit him from behind. It was a cheek choke.
07:09Joe Coffey coming right here on the table in front of us.
07:16And Wade.
07:17Otis has that look in his eye.
07:19Oh no.
07:21Cover your eyes everyone.
07:23Otis Mania.
07:24We're about to get X-rated in the worst possible way.
07:27Running wild in Evansville.
07:30It's time for a little counter-pillar.
07:32Drops the elbow.
07:36And make it three in a row for the Alpha Academy.
07:39Here are your winners.
07:42Alpha Academy.
07:46As we try to pick up the pieces here at the announce table.
07:49Wade, a huge win for Akira Tozawa and Otis.
07:53We had the flying Scotsman Joe Coffey coming at me.
07:56I almost missed that ending.
07:59I kind of wish I had, but here it is in slow motion replay.
08:03The caterpillar.
08:05The obscene move of Otis that is highly devastating.
08:10And scored another big victory once again for the Alpha Academy.
08:14Who are on a roll here on Main Event.
08:16Picture perfect form there by Otis.
08:20And now with a win.
08:22Time to do a little dance here for the Alpha Academy.
08:25On Main Event.
08:27Come on Wade, move your hips.
