00:00Another Wrestlemania in the books.
00:05Welcome to WWE Main Event.
00:13The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:17Introducing first representing the LWO from Chicago, Illinois,
00:23weighing in at 180 pounds,
00:27Joaquin Wilde!
00:30And I say that because when Wrestlemania Sunday comes to an end,
00:35we have to wait a whole other year to do it again.
00:39What a way to kick off Main Event with LWO's own Joaquin Wilde.
00:43And we'll welcome in ringside.
00:45Big Joseph alongside Byron Saxton.
00:47And Byron, as I just mentioned,
00:50Wrestlemania now in the rearview mirror.
00:52How was your Wrestlemania experience in Las Vegas?
00:56Absolutely amazing.
00:58Big thing of all the landscape shifting events.
01:00Hall of Fame, SmackDown,
01:02Hewitt standing to live for NXT.
01:04Two nights at Wrestlemania,
01:05and I may or may not have danced with a stuffed gorilla on Fremont Street.
01:12I'll tell you about it later.
01:14And his opponent from Hamburg, Germany, weighing in at 220 pounds,
01:16And his opponent, from Hamburg, Germany, weighing in at 220 pounds,
01:41Ludwig Kaiser!
01:45When it comes to whatever you did in Las Vegas, this is a man who would not stand for your silliness.
01:52Well, this is a man who I would not hang out with as a result.
01:55A-plus everything, European excellence, not a hair out of place.
02:00You can't critique negatively the style of Ludwig Kaiser once that bell rings.
02:07And he is a mean, conniving individual.
02:11And one would assume that after what happened at WrestleMania over the weekend,
02:16he's not in the best of moves.
02:18Of course, Boots are no longer the World Heavyweight Champion.
02:21Well, I've had many conversations, uncomfortable conversations with Ludwig Kaiser
02:25about his career aspirations.
02:27He has been clear time and time again, he sees himself as a main eventer here at WWE.
02:34We'll take a look at Joaquin Wilde.
02:36Do you wonder how he's going to be able to adapt to singles competition here tonight on main event?
02:40Well, Joaquin Wilde has shown glimpse of greatness.
02:42We know he's capable of high-flying wizardry inside that ring.
02:46But yeah, these are slightly uncharted waters for Joaquin.
02:50Wilde, of course, member of the LWO, not by his side tonight.
02:53He is here to stand on his own, but Kaiser not allowing him even to get to a vertical base in this matchup.
02:58And Wilde's so explosive. He is a daredevil.
03:02What, in your opinion, though, is right now Kaiser in firm control?
03:06Does Kaiser need to do to get to that next level?
03:08You talk about all those conversations. What is the missing ingredient?
03:11Well, I complimented the appearance and the style of Ludwig Kaiser,
03:15but, you know, maybe Kaiser has to get a little down and dirty, so to speak.
03:19You know, show that grungier side of himself to really advance to that next level.
03:24You know, for Wilde right now taking back control of this matchup.
03:26What is Joaquin Wilde's biggest attribute here in the WWE?
03:29You're seeing right now his quickness, his offensive innovation,
03:33the ability to keep you guessing throughout the match.
03:35End of the cover, quick kick out.
03:37And when it comes to Joaquin Wilde, he is certainly a smooth criminal.
03:40But as we've talked about in Las Vegas, Byron, this was your 11th WrestleMania.
03:46You know, and it never gets old, Big. I mean, it comes once a year.
03:50It's like a reunion of all of us who love this industry so much.
03:54Whoa!
03:55Oh! But it goes by so fast, doesn't it?
03:57It certainly does. And speaking of fast, look who's picking up the pace.
04:00Oh!
04:01Got cut off with a big right hand from Kaiser.
04:05Ludwig Kaiser is always thinking, always evaluating your next move.
04:11And just like that, he can turn the tide in a match.
04:15Well, we talked about Gunther Uso.
04:20Gunther no longer the World Heavyweight Champion.
04:22And how can that blow to lose that title?
04:25How does that trickle down to someone like Ludwig Kaiser?
04:27You would think it does.
04:29But again, when I've heard what Ludwig Kaiser has had to say
04:31and how he's carried himself, I think he has the ability to compartmentalize.
04:35He is solely focused on becoming a main eventer.
04:37So unfortunately, what happened to Gunther, I don't think has a long-lasting effect on Ludwig Kaiser.
04:41By the way, still to come, we'll go back to Raw.
04:43You do not want to miss what the new undisputed WWE Champion John Cena did.
04:48What went through your mind when you saw John Cena raise the championship for a record-breaking 17th time?
04:54It was like time stood still.
04:56Oh! To the throat goes Kaiser.
04:58I mean, think about this.
05:00John Cena's final WrestleMania.
05:04He breaks Ric Flair's record, becomes a 17-time world champion.
05:09Travis Scott assists John Cena in the process.
05:12So many things to digest all at once.
05:15And oh!
05:16Big running uppercut into the cover for Kaiser and Wilde able to kick out.
05:21Kaiser right back on top.
05:22He knows all too well when it comes to the LWO and Joaquin Wilde.
05:26What Wilde can do if he gets to a vertical base.
05:28How he can fly around the ring.
05:30That daredevil type attitude.
05:32But it's a little bit more than that for Kaiser.
05:34He sees what Wilde wears.
05:35How he acts.
05:36And he snarls at it.
05:37Why can't Kaiser see anything anyone else's way?
05:40Well, I think that's part of his motivation.
05:42I think it's actually a healthy motivation to have.
05:44You have to have a chip on your shoulder in some way, shape or form.
05:47And if that comes in the form of how someone dresses or how they wrestle inside the ring, so be it.
05:52Oh, Wilde.
05:53Look at this combination offense for Joaquin.
05:56Looking to springboard back into the match.
05:58Going right around and boom!
06:00Big forearm under the jaw.
06:01And now Wilde picking up the pace.
06:03And this is what he needed to do.
06:05This is why Kaiser was trying to keep him on the mat.
06:07Absolutely right.
06:08This is the comfort zone of Joaquin Wilde.
06:10This is a chance for Joaquin Wilde to get a buzz-worthy win here against Ludovic Kaiser.
06:16And no better time than now for Joaquin Wilde and...
06:21Get out of here!
06:23I think Kaiser was yelling at you.
06:26I think he was talking to you with your plum-colored jacket on.
06:29And hold on!
06:30It's coming!
06:31Whoa!
06:32He was talking to both of us.
06:36Oh, Kaiser.
06:37Right here almost in our laps.
06:39Wilde now.
06:40Picking up the pace.
06:41Picking up the momentum.
06:42Coming in for the DDT!
06:44Could this be it?
06:46This would be huge in the career of Wilde and...
06:49Ooh!
06:50Near fall.
06:51Just getting that shoulder up.
06:54Was Kaiser.
06:55Joaquin Wilde.
06:56He can ill afford frustration to set in now.
06:58You have got Ludovic Kaiser right where you want him.
07:01Finish the job.
07:02Think about this too.
07:03What would a win do for someone like Joaquin Wilde?
07:05It would change the perception.
07:07We touched on this earlier.
07:08Joaquin Wilde seen primarily as a tag team competitor.
07:11Oh!
07:12Ouch!
07:13My word for the Raiders.
07:14That would have been right down the middle of the field goal.
07:16It would have been good.
07:17And up and down.
07:18And Kaiser now is the one rolling.
07:20And again, we said this earlier.
07:22Ludovic Kaiser has this incredible ability to stunt any momentum you have immediately.
07:28Bam!
07:29That conniving corkscrew driver by Kaiser gets the job done tonight.
07:38Here is your winner, Ludovic Kaiser!
07:43And Kaiser once again, Byron, proves that the mat is indeed sacred.
07:50Ludovic Kaiser dealt the blow from Joaquin Wilde.
07:54His quickness, his high-flying ability, and proved that his own hard-hitting style would be too much for Wilde to overcome.
08:06Well, Kaiser picking up the victory here on Main Event.
08:09Looking to make everything he told you come true as Kaiser again slices through the competition here on Main Event.
