He chopped Knight across his chest, but Knight bounced back with a clothesline. Knight hit a neckbreaker, then fired Alexander into opposite corners before sending him to the mat with a deliberate back body drop. Knight hung Alexander up on the middle rope with a drop toe hold. As Knight pondered his next move, Benjamin moved in on the floor and jawed at Knight. This gave Alexander enough time to recover and dodge Knight&#8217;s attack. Alexander hopped through the ropes and smashed Knight against the ring apron with a uranage. Alexander rolled Knight into the ring and covered for a two-count, then applied a chin lock.<\/p>\n<p>Knight got to his feet and flipped Alexander onto the mat. Knight ducked a clothesline and hit a high cross body, then covered Alexander for a one-count. Alexander came back with a low drop kick to the seated Knight&#8217;s face. Alexander made two quick pin attempts, then applied another chin lock.<\/p>\n<p>Knight nearly fought out again, but this time Alexander maintained the offense. He hit a European uppercut, then flipped Knight onto the ring apron. Knight slingshot himself over the top rope and leveled Alexander with a flying shoulder block. Knight shoved Alexander face-first into a corner, then hit another neckbreaker. Knight took Alexander down with a powerslam, then hit a standing elbow drop . Knight circled Alexander but was again distracted by Benjamin from the floor. Alexander snuck in and rolled up Knight for a two-count. Knight sprung to his feet and hit the BFT (Blunt Force Trauma), then covered for the three-count.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: LA Knight by pinfall in 5:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Meyers\u2019s Analysis: Decent action, and good to have fresh NXT blood on Main Event.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Main Event recap session:<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3203302265\" 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<ul>\n<li>Replay of Owens &amp; Rollins vs. the Usos from Smackdown<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Miz &amp; Maryse in-ring segment from Raw<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Alexa Bliss therapy session from Raw<\/li>\n<li>Match rundown for upcoming PLE Royal Rumble<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Lashley \/ Lesnar weigh-in from Raw<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>(2) RODERICK STRONG vs. T-BAR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The men locked up and T-Bar whipped Strong to the mat, then held both fists in the air triumphantly. Strong tried to grapple T-Bar&#8217;s leg, then managed to apply an upright side headlock. T-Bar almost fired him off but Strong held on tight. He pushed Strong off with his second attempt, but Strong landed a few blows then kicked a charging T-Bar in the face. Strong ran the ropes and went for a high cross body but T-Bar caught him and planted a knee in his ribs. He dropped Strong over the top rope onto the ring apron, then ran the opposite ropes and sent Strong flying onto the floor with a running forearm strike. We cut to break.<\/p>\n<p>Back in the ring, T-Bar controlled Strong with a chin lock. Strong got to his feet and stomped T-Bar&#8217;s foot, then chopped his chest. He tried to hoist up T-Bar but couldn&#8217;t muster the strength. Instead, T-Bar lifted his knee into Strong&#8217;s face, then leveled him with a big reverse elbow. He covered Strong for two. He briefly mounted strong and landed a few blows, then went back to the chin lock.<\/p>\n<p>Strong fought his way out, then dodged a charging T-Bar in the corner. Strong landed two more chops, then two kicks. He chipped away at T-Bar with a series of running forearm strikes before finally taking him to the mat with a fallaway slam. He covered T-Bar for two. Strong was first to his feet and he attempted to twist T-Bar into a Boston crab. T-Bar resisted the move and eventually kicked Strong backward toward a corner. T-Bar stood up and hit a bicycle kick to Strong&#8217;s chest, then followed up with the High Justice sit out choke slam. He covered Strong for the three-count.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: T-Bar by pinfall in 5:55.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Meyers\u2019s Analysis: Pretty fun match. They went a little heavy handed with the alleged big man \/ little man story, with Strong repeatedly struggling to control T-Bar. Still, the effort was high, and Strong made T-Bar look great, particularly when getting blasted off of the ring apron.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>SHOW SCORE (0-10): 7.8<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Find Mike Meyers on Twitter: @themikeshow42<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2463366083\" 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<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/01\/21\/1-19-wwe-main-event-tv-report-pete-dunne-vs-t-bar-ciampa-vs-tozawa-more\/\">1\/19 WWE MAIN EVENT TV REPORT: Pete Dunne vs. T-Bar, Ciampa vs. Tozawa, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1964480339\"><div id=\"pwtor-3581074686\"><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 JANUARY 26, 2022 HULU STREAMING TV REPORT BY MIKE F.
