WWE Main Event Review - April 21, 2022

By Graham "GSM" Matthews

Apollo Crews def. T-Bar

This was unfortunately the battle of two undercard heels a majority of the audience couldn't care less about at this point because how badly they've been booked. I don't think T-Bar becoming Dominik Dijakovic again would help him because it's clear the company has no intentions of doing anything meaningful with him. I wouldn't pick up the phone if a number with a 203 area code calls if I were either one of them. This was well wrestled albeit basic as there was nothing out of the ordinary about it.

Tommaso Ciampa def. Cedric Alexander

These two likely know each other very well from the time they spent on the northeast independent circuit before signing with WWE. I believe they were both in Ring of Honor around the same time as well. This was a very fun match and I liked that they worked with a sense of urgency down the stretch. I didn't have an issue with Ciampa competing on Main Event last week because he also appeared that Monday on Raw in a backstage segment, but he was back on Main Event this week after not being shown at all on Raw. Hopefully this doesn't mean he'll be relegated to Main Event duty permanently.

Overall Show

The same four faces were featured this week, but at least the in-ring action was enjoyable on the whole. T-Bar vs. Crews was pretty mundane despite both guys being talented (the heel vs. heel dynamic was a bit of a hindrance), but Ciampa vs. Alexander was entertaining for as long as it lasted. Plus, with Raw being far more bearable so far this year (at least in my opinion), the Raw recaps aren't a complete waste of your time either if you want to watch only the highlights from the show.
