Tamina briefly controlled Brooke to start, but Brooke soon had Tamina on the mat with a low drop kick and a cover for a two-count. Tamina scoop slammed Brooke and covered for a two-count of her own. Tamina tossed Brooke through the ropes to ringside. Brooke rolled back in at the ref&#8217;s five-count, and Tamina went back to work with a series of kicks and a hip attack in the corner. She covered Brooke for another two-count, then applied a chin lock.<\/p>\n<p>Tamina went for a side suplex but Brooke landed on her feet, then hit Tamina with three kicks. Brooke flipped into a handspring elbow in the corner not once, but twice. She delivered a bulldog to Tamina and covered for two. She dragged Tamina toward a corner, then climbed to the top turnbuckle. She jumped into what might have been a frog splash, but Tamina was already on her feet. This allowed Brooke to somersault and roll up to her feet, but by then Tamina was waiting to deliver a superkick to her jaw. She covered Brooke for a two-count.<\/p>\n<p>Tamina screamed at the ref, \u201cWhat&#8217;s wrong with you?\u201d She climbed to the middle rope and jumped to hit a double axe handle, but Brooke got her feet up into Tamina&#8217;s midsection. Brooke sprung to her feet and took Tamina down with a swinging neckbreaker, then covered for the three-count.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Dana Brooke by pinfall in 5:35.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Meyers\u2019s Analysis: Clunky match, not great &#8211; fitting for the championship.)<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2002165865\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-Main Event recap session:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Replay of Sami Zayn vs. Roman Reigns from Smackdown<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Owens vs. Big E cage match from Raw<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Liv Morgan vs. Becky Lynch from Raw<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>(2) APOLLO CREWS &amp; COMMANDER AZEEZ vs. HURT BUSINESS (CEDRIC ALEXANDER &amp; SHELTON BENJAMIN)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Azeez started against Benjamin and immediately had Benjamin on the mat with a knee lift and clubbing forearm. He fired Benjamin off the ropes and knocked him down again with a shoulder block, then tagged in Crews, who dealt a series of kicks and punches in their corner. Benjamin reversed out of a hammer throw and suplexed Crews to the mat. Benjamin backed into his opponent&#8217;s corner, so Azeez clubbed him from behind. Alexander ran in to attack Azeez, but Crews was still able to take advantage of Benjamin with a suplex. He covered Benjamin for two. Azeez tagged in and flattened Benjamin with a big clothesline, then postured to the crowd as we cut to break.<\/p>\n<p>Azeez was controlling Benjamin with a chin lock after the break. Crews tagged in and hit Benjamin with a reverse elbow to the face, then covered for a one-count. Crews tried to suplex Benjamin, but was blocked on two attempts. Benjamin came back with a snap suplex of his own, then tagged in Alexander. He flew from the corner with a flurry of offense and covered Crews for one. Crews came back with a German suplex, then covered Alexander for a one-count. Crews momentarily blocked Alexander from making a tag, but Alexander struck with a European uppercut. This sent Crews reeling back to his own corner while Alexander struggled on the mat toward Benjamin.<\/p>\n<p>Azeez tagged in first and he dragged Alexander away from Benjamin, but Alexander managed to land a head butt to Azeez and finally make the tag. Benjamin landed a few blows, then splashed Azeez twice in the corner. Crews ran in but was met with a belly-to-belly suplex from Benjamin. Benjamin hit Azeez with a spinning heel kick, but Azeez came back with a big boot. He yanked Benjamin to his feet, then delivered the Nigerian Nail and covered for the three-count.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Apollo Crews &amp; Commander Azeez by pinfall in 7:15.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Meyers\u2019s Analysis: Again, nothing exciting here. Azeez is dead weight and Benjamin seems physically and mentally checked out.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>SHOW SCORE (0-10): 6.6<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2552690009\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>Find Mike Meyers on Twitter: @themikeshow42<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT LAST WEEK&#8217;S MAIN EVENT TV REPORT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/12\/02\/12-1-wwe-main-event-tv-report-t-bar-vs-akira-tozawa-r-truth-vs-reggie-more\/\">12\/1 WWE MAIN EVENT TV REPORT: T-Bar vs. Akira Tozawa, R-Truth vs. Reggie, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2358069015\"><div id=\"pwtor-1093587456\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE MAIN EVENT TV REPORT DECEMBER 8, 2021 HULU STREAMING TV REPORT BY MIKE F.
