WWE Main Event Review - May 27, 2021

Ricochet def. Mustafa Ali in a 2-Out-of-3 Falls Match

Yes, we got a two-out-of-three falls match on Main Event. No, you aren't seeing things. I'm so happy WWE actually chose to continue this feud following their last three encounters. I was worried it wouldn't get a proper pay-off because Ricochet has been on Raw recently feuding with Sheamus, so it's great we got it here. It wasn't as fast-paced as I was expecting early on, but it didn't need to be given how much time they had to fill. I thought the first two falls ending in a count-out win for Ali and then a disqualification win for Ricochet were lame, but the third fall was great and the finish looked fantastic. This was the usual excellent work from these two. As noted, Ricochet has found himself back on Raw, so hopefully Ali isn't too far behind.

Overall Show

This show carried a bit of a different format than usual, which was refreshing. Kevin Patrick and Byron Saxton opened the episode previewing Ricochet vs. Ali later on before throwing it to a replay of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match from Raw. Ricochet vs. Ali didn't start until much later on, but I appreciated that they were given plenty of time for their special stipulation match. It was very enjoyable and worth checking out. Main Event has been producing quality action from week to week for a while now, but the program would definitely benefit from featuring more feuds and above-average matches like we've gotten from Ricochet and Ali lately.
